According to Conan the Grammarian, it "invites" the question, not "begs" the question.

I took one look at that looooooooong list of criteria and bagged it.

FatVern519 reads

1. I can't recall the last time I read a review.

2. The last website I viewed, the lady was deep throating a toy. That got my attention.

3. I can't remember the last time I saw someone with a website or a review.

4. Looks are far less important to me, than a certain look is.

Gents and lady hobbyists: What's most important to you to book the first date?  

l) age  
a) looks (photos)- face  
b) looks (photos)- body  
h) reviews- performance  
i) reviews- looks  
j) reviews- menu  
k) ethnicity  

 
I'm basic. Not a whore connoisseur yet.

first date  

1.  looks
2.  rate
3.  reviews
4.  communication

 
2nd date

1. chemistry
2.  chemistry
3.  chemistry

(this assumes of course that nos. 1-4 of first date criteria are satisfactory)

Question number 1:  Ability to communicate is key.  At this point for me, most of the ladies I see for the first time I've already met at hobby events such as M&G's, which is my primary method in deciding who to see.  This is nowhere near absolute, though...high level reviews, board presence, exchanging PM's on various topics here, building up interest.  For me, it almost always turns out right.  :)

As for second and subsequent meetings...chemistry is key.  If you like her, and she likes you in the hobby context, this can develop into relationships that can last indefinitely.  At least it has for me, and the journey here has lasted for a dozen years.  I still see the lady I originally met as a newbie all those years ago still burns as bright, and you know her.

What's most important to book the first date?  
 
a) Communication  
b) Following my booking instructions  
c) Ease of screening  
j) References/verification
o) Apparent intelligence or wit  
g) Chemistry  
e) Reviews commentary - I ignore inquirers who have written a noteworthy amount of disparaging reviews or include hateful, misogynist language
l) Board presence - Again, when a hobbyist reveals an antagonistic disposition towards women, I'll avoid engaging.  
k) Race and ethnicity are completely irrelevant. In fact the only "NBA" rule I abide by is NO BIGOTS ALLOWED.  

 
What's most important to book the second date?  
 
a) Communication in person  
c) Matched his/her communication/screening
h) Chemistry  
l) Attitude  
n) Personality  
o) Intelligence or wit  
e) His/her presentation in person  
m) Hygiene  
d) Technique  
b) Tip or gift - some of my favorites were kinky toys, Appleton Estate 21 year rum, and Black River single origin Jamaican chocolate ;)  
i) Shared interests - during my first date in the demimonde, the sweet gent I was entertaining asked me about my love of Sci-fi. We started nerding out! I had recently finished reading a spectacular Octavia E. Butler novel and was excited to share some of the highlights and he shared some Ursula K. Le Guin titles for me to check out. Moments later, we resumed our playtime. Ah, the desire for human connection is so nuanced.

Gents and lady hobbyists: What's most important to you to book the first date?  
   
 
 b) looks (photos)- body ............. If I am not attracted to her body nothing else matters.... sorry!!
 a) looks (photos)- face .............. When you can see her face it is extremely important...... sorry!!
 n) weight ........... Not the number or the dress/pant size but how proportioned. I believe a woman can be 25 pounds overweight and still look gorgeous, just as she can very thin, just not too thin.
 e) chemistry (or potential chemistry- you feel like you click before you even meet) ....... This is actually #1 but I am not concerned about the chemistry if I am not attracted to her body and face if I can see it. However, if we communicate prior to meeting up and it appears the chemistry will be off then I would cancel but always cancel outside of 48 hours, that is why chemistry is so important.
 d) website presentation, photo quality, writing style on site ......... shares plenty about her.
 l) age  
 c) ability to communicate...... need to see professionalism and interest which many do not have  
 h) reviews - performance...... even though this is a matter of opinion, repetition will give a clear picture which is why it often difficult when deciding to see someone with no or few reviews
 j) reviews - menu......... this can be tough as well because of the old YMMV
 g) reviews - attitude....... I take this with a grain of salt unless there are multiple poor reviews  
 f) something in common (a sporting team, pastime, music, etc.)... only important if I am planning  a multiple hour date, if only an hour then this is not a factor at all  
 p) apparent intelligence or wit ........ again only important in multiple hour dates
 i) reviews- looks........ no factor as I have seen someone where I give a 9 and see a reviewer give a 6 and I have seen a few where they turn out to be a 6 maybe a 7 and I have seen others give her a 10 so this is irrelevant to me  
 k) ethnicity........ no factor at all
 m) height......... I am 6'5 so this is no factor no matter how tall or short  
 o) board presence/posts .......... no factor at all
 q) back-channel info .......... I do not communicate regularly with anyone so no factor at all
 r) something else? ......... this took too long to think about anything else
   
   
 Gents and lady hobbyists: What's most important to you to book the second date?  
   
 d) chemistry (you really clicked!) ....... once I have seen her no matter how beautiful and sexy if there is not great chemistry there is no second date
 g) performance/technique ......... all part of chemistry
 h) attitude .......... all part of chemistry
 k) personality ...... all part of chemistry
 f) menu ....... there are certain things I want to do but there is a give and take when the chemistry is amazing but I also have my limits on what those things are. If kissing, caressing, and bbbj are not offered there is no second date so technically this is also part of chemistry
 b) looks- body (incl. age, height, weight) ........ must be very much attracted to her body
 a) looks - face ..hopefully she is gorgeous but plain is okay when chemistry and body are awesome
 j) matched her photos/performance scores/menu items ..... lumped in with a few above
 i) her presentation in person (dress, make-up, hair, way she carried herself, manners, hygiene).... this one is tricky because I like little if any clothes upon entrance if it is an in call, if she is coming to me I want her to feel sexy and comfortable walking into my hotel. Make up and hair are not issues, I actually prefer no make up or very little and to me one of the sexiest looks a woman can have is a very wet head with a towel around her walking out of the shower. Hygiene is a given and if not A+ then everything else is a turn off.  
 l) intelligence or wit ....... only important in a date going two hours or more
 c) ability to communicate- well spoken, diplomatic, can carry on a conversation, etc. ..... only important on dates going two hours or more
 e) something in common (a sporting team, pastime, music, etc.) .... only important on dates two hours or more
 m) something else? ....... too much going on here to think about anything else to add
 n) I don't book second dates...... if chemistry is great along with body, face, and performance there will be second, third, fourth, etc...... dates.

WHEW!!!!!!

It comes down to chemistry and physics.  Chemistry is the personality, attitude and connection.  Physics is the physical aspect, including kissing, mutual oral, and fucking.  If the "science" is right, I might just become regular.  However, the most important thing to do first is go to the bank and cash a check.

Ladies: What's most important to book the first date?
 
Essential:
a) communication- how he/she approaches you and what he/she writes/says [I adore people who make an effort to introduce themselves. I once had a couple who each wrote an essay about themselves and why they were seeking my company together. They were so beautifully written!! We are still fast friends to this day.]
b) following directions on your website

Preferable:
c) ease of screening  
g) chemistry (or potential chemistry- you feel like you click before you even meet) [the introduction helps completely here!]
n) length of date requested [I prefer longer engagements and love to get to know my potential new friends over at least drinks and appetizers, but am partial to a delicious dinner engagement.]
o) apparent intelligence or wit
l) board presence/posts [if they *are* posters on TER or another forum, I love it when their posts are thoughtful, positive, and intelligent. But presence on the forums is not at all essential, and sometimes that they are not here is preferable.]
e) how reviews are written [preferably very respectfully, and like others have posted, if they're misogynistic, I'm not going there.]

Nice but not a deal breaker:
f) that he/she has no reviews  
h) something in common (a sporting team, pastime, music, etc.)
m) occupation [nice if they have one. lol! But sometimes their occupation can be an incredible turn-on- like rocket scientists or physicists or university professors. Yum!]
p) something else? They've indicated that they've read my website, posts, blog, and twitter- that they've researched me and have made a decision to see me based on something beyond the physical. These are the kinds of people I adore and can't wait to meet!

Absolutely unimportant
i) age [of course, as long as they're at least 18!]
j) references [unless your reference is a friend of mine, in which case, it shoots your request to the top of my list]
d) # of reviews  
k) ethnicity [actually, I am a fan of trying all flavors!! But absolutely unimportant in my decision making process]

Essential:  
e) his/her presentation in person (dress, make-up, hair, way he/she carried themselves, manners)

c) matched his/her communication/screening
m) hygiene
d) performance/technique [NOT what you think: I don't care about moves or techniques; I DO care if they make an effort to please me too. I abhor one-sided engagements, and will not go out of my way  for one of these guys (even if I do elect to see them on a day when I am doing nothing else). (I say guys because I haven't had any ladies who haven't at least *attempted* to ensure mutual enjoyment of our time together.)]
l) attitude

Preferable:
n) personality & h) chemistry (you really clicked!) [I consider this really special, but interestingly, pretty common in my meetings. I'm very blessed.]

What's most important [in booking a lady for] the first date:

a) looks (photos)- face  
k) ethnicity (white or German or French)
j) reviews- menu (reports of excellent BBBJs given)  
d) website presentation, photo quality, writing style on site  
c) ability to communicate (i.e., intelligent conversationalist)
l) age (at least half my age plus 7 years)
m) height (at least 5' 6")  
n) weight (anything but overweight)    
g) reviews- attitude  
r) something else (fetish-friendly)  
r) something else (the comfort of her residence vs. the horrors of a hotel)
r) something else (doesn't "look like" a pro)

-- Modified on 6/15/2016 12:40:32 PM

k) ethnicity (white or German or French). She is from Hungary. About 5 years ago I met a wonderful provider who was from Russia and again met all your criteria except k). Needless to say, I have enjoyed the company of some wonderful ladies from Brazil as well as other S. American countries.  

Not sure why you limit your selection to only "white or German or French".

was just expressing a few preferences.  
Whatcha think

Yes, I was expressing only a few preferences to keep the line of text short. Whoops, I forgot to include "English".

On the TER Search page, there are 17 categories of Ethnicity. But the searcher is required to pick just one of those for each search. That's frustrating. Why not a CHECKLIST offering all those 17 choices?  

I'm really pretty wide open on ethnicity, but not 100% open. If single selections are the only solution, how about having 2x17=34 choices. The second 17 would reflect the first 17 but be written "Anything But ____."  

I could complete my search with only one run using an "Anything But ____" choice.  

Okay, maybe kinder wording would be "Non-____.
