Archetype

Pro tip: Opt for the first coat of wax at the auto car wash, then get the second one at your appointment....

I have a wallet with a removable sleeve that houses my ID. I bring that to an appointment, with the donation tucked inside in. The remainder of my wallet stays in the car. If I'm taking a shower before play, I disrobe in the bathroom and fold my clothes in there. Similarly, if I'm showering after play, I bring my clothes in with me so I can dress immediately afterward. Keeps my sparse stash of valuables (keys, phone, wallet sleeve) in my view the entire time.

WHAT? Mine is only good until September 20, 3000. How'd you get those extra 10 years??

Being a hopeless nerd (and a nitpicky speller), I was less inclined to associate with Gomorrah and more inclined to associate with Gamora:

Typically 30 minutes. I once waited an hour for a lady that I REALLY wanted to see, because she had been in great communication beforehand (including texting me some enticing pics), and texted a few times right around our specified appointment time about needing extra time. Then she went silent. She even stood me up on an "I'll make it up to you" appointment a few weeks later after profusely apologizing.

I'd say, for me, it's about 20% that do read my profile, which is a figure that amazes me as well. In my intro P411 message, I always remind the lady I'm contacting to check out my profile, to see if she thinks we'd be a good fit and if she has any additional questions for me. It's usually ignored. And I only see ladies that have at least a few reviews, and usually are 25 and above (with a few exceptions).

Sure about that?

My first was many moons ago with a now-defunct agency that had some really killer ladies. It took me forever to pull the trigger since it was my first (nervousness abounded), and the lady who ran the agency was a sweetheart and really helped me along. Then the lady I had booked with stood me up! Nothing like wandering up and down the 16th Street Mall, waiting for a callback on your confirmation call. It ended up being due to a communication error within the agency, and the lady who ran the agency was super apologetic and booked me with another of her ladies on another day. That appointment ended up going great, because like others here, I didn't really have any preconceived expectations going in. Funny enough - that first lady I saw recently popped up again on P411 for the first time in forever, much to my surprise. It's been what feels like eons, but it certainly brought back some happy memories. Almost feels like I should book an appointment to bring things full circle....

I know who you're talking about, because I just had the almost exact same experience with her a few days ago, except our meeting actually happened. But it was the same lack of communication, the same "PM me" after days of no communication, and no mention of checking my P411 profile like I asked. Also, she got our appointment time wrong, despite my initial P411 request with the time, and my check-in text an hour before our meeting time to confirm. It ended up working out, despite the mix-up on the meeting time. The session was wonderful, but I was nervous all the way up until I walked in the door, because of the spotty communication.

I would've liked multiple choice on this poll - I would've selected landing strip and bare. I just don't like the bush. Because I expect and appreciate the same from the ladies I see, I groom "the hair down there". Balls are shaven clean, and the patch above is shaped and remaining hair is trimmed to be short. All of the reasons Justina gives for male grooming are valid. Plus, you gotta maintain the playground if you expect the equipment to be played with. I've only had good feedback from ladies on my grooming habits.

Yep, sounds about right.

Yeah, compatibility is key. It's what keeps me coming back. I've seen many ladies who fit my initial criteria (see below), but I've never booked a second appointment because the "click" or the spark wasn't there. Otherwise, I'm echoing what these sage veterans above me have said. Her skills have to be above-average at a minimum, her rates have to allow me to see her on a regular basis, and her attitude must be on a level of "I'm ecstatic to see you whenever you book an appointment". Some will call it shallow, but what gets me to see her in the first place are her looks/body, and her reviews. She must fit within what I consider to be attractive, and I'm not one to TOFFT. So if those criteria aren't present, I'm not going to see her in the first place, and therefore she'll never have the opportunity to elevate to ATF status.

Once a month, usually. More often when I get the itch, or I get a little windfall from work....or if she emails me with a particularly exciting proposition.

I spend about a half hour here every day. I try to check in once to see what's new, then cut myself off until the next day. Unless there's a particularly good thread going on.

I'm much less of a fan of the Joan Rivers-esque look she's sporting now.
