Minnesota
I've been considering a trip to MPLS at some point in the not-too-distant future, but I know next to nothing about the area or the market therein. Is it a good spot for touring gals? Is the weather bearable? Any tips would be much appreciated, even if the advice is "don't bother." 
I have found that in some areas, my screening requirements are no problem (Chicago, for example), while in other areas, they're considered completely unreasonable (Indy comes to mind). Obviously, I'm not going to change my protocol just to make a particular city more amenable to me, so if the info I require is too far out of the norm, I'd rather folks just tell me not to bother. There's nothing worse than investing in a tour if I get there and no one wants to be screened my way. 
As far as weather you are looking at this area going into the winter and we have winters here unlike any you may have experienced. When the snow starts falling here, it stays, for months. For fun, many of us drive on the frozen over lakes. Even with all the Global Warming mongering going on last winter this region was the only place on the entire planet that was colder than normal, normal for us, that is.
There's a plus side to that. We are encouraged to stay indoors and snuggle up =).
Best place to stay? Downtown Minneapolis or Bloomington near the airport are the usual spots. As a john I couldn't honestly tell you which is best (I do not live in, nor particularly care for, either) but I would think Downtown would be better. Seems classier, access to all the amenities of a large metropolitan area (The twin cities region is about 3.5 million people), including the skyway system. Fine dining, tons of sports, art, theatre, and night life, if any of that appeals to you.
The Twin Cities are also very cosmopolitan in a low key way. For instance you can find cuisine from pretty much anywhere in the world but you'd need local knowhow on where to find the good stuff.
If you do decide to come here I wish you the best of luck and hope you have an enjoyable and memorable time.
Like I said, I'm perfectly fine with "don't bother." It's a much better alternative than finding out too late!
But that could just be sour grapes because I'm too old. It'll be interesting to see if voices pop up to the contrary.
Hell if some girls are so popular that they can pick and choose who they see based on age, weight, height, and race more power to them. We kind of do the same thing on here too - don't we guys.
Kind of wonder what happens when a guy shows up and shows ID with real name although the correspondence emails have a different name and they get all confused because seriously who uses there actual name on here.
Hypothetically, if by some miracle a guy managed to slip through and his ID didn't match, I'd kick his ass out (or leave in the case of an outcall).
Anyhow...yeah...we're a strange (but loveable) bunch.
There, that's my hard sell. Now - can I book an appointment?
