providers over how they will receive you.

I am sure there will be providers who will greet you with open arms, however I am sure there are others who will not.

To be fair to both of you, you should disclose this fact to the provider up front to avoid embarrasment and upset feelings on both sides.

I too am overweight.  I'm a relative newbie as well and had/have the same concern.  With the ladies I've seen thus far it has not been a problem.  I've been up-front with them and it didn't seem like an issue for them at all.  I don't know whether they were just being nice to me, but they indicated that most of their clients are overweight to some degree, so if they were wrapped around the axle about it they'd have a problem.  

Depending on your situation you might want to be sensitive to the positions you put yourself and the lady in.  Just common sense I guess.  

What I've discovered in discussing it with most ladies is that what they care about most is that their clients are clean and respectful -- physical appearance is not high on their list of priorities.

Of course, there are some ladies for which it does matter.  If you are up-front with them in your initial contacts this will draw the issue out and hopefully you can avoid any problems.  

In general if you go with the well-reviewed providers you'll find it to be less of an issue.  They tend to have the good attitudes.

Good luck and happy hobbying.

Many have even told me.  I always include my race, height and weight in any introductory email, just in case it makes a difference.  I would rather the girl be upfront and tell me rather than going through with the appointment not at her best.

So I guess to me, it's worth mentioning if possible.

If she states on her website anything about size, it would be with the age and race stipulations.  If she has nothing there about size, feel free to send her a note and do include your size with the rest of your stats (race, profession, age, etc.).  Most men include their stature at some point before the meeting regardless of whether they are under- or over-weight.

Personally, my biggest concern with overweight men is that they are going to have a heart attack or some other health problem.  In that vein, you may want to mention your physical health.
