I don't like tattoos......now I will make exception (I'd love to see Khori, for example).  I can live with the small ones....but the big ones are a big turn off for me. I realize it's their body and they can do what they want, but I've never understood why a beautiful lady with a great body will put ink all over it.

And of course rates,,,,,,I guess we all have a breaking point that we're comfortable with. Unless the provider is really hot with great reviews, usually covered BJ's are a deal breaker.

Happened in a strip club.  After spending some time at the bar and some table dances, she tells me she is really horny and it's slow, so if I was interested, we could go to vip room and all I had to pay for was the room fee.  She was so darn fantastic and I became a daily regular at that club and was more than pleased to pay her normal vip charge, which wasn't exhorbitant.  About a year or so later she left the club and began escort work.  Been seeing her every few weeks or so for the past ten years and never once in all that time was I disappointed.  She's a true friend and a wonderful lover.

I read her posts and she mine. We communicated by PM and found that we agreed on many things. She had a reputation as an excellent provider, highly recommended by those that had seen her. Her pictures were excellent. She provided the services I was looking for. As soon as I was able I made the appointment to see her and she met all my expectations.  She was with an agency then. She is now independent and in the Top 20 in Atlanta.

First one was before I was aware of TER.  Browsed Backpage or maybe it was Craigslist.  Got a feel of what reasonable rates were, which pics were too good to be true and which girls were just too skanky.  Picked one that appealed to me and called.  Chatted and confessed my naiveté.  She seemed nice enough and I made an appointment.  This was about the 3rd or 4th time I browsed and finally got the courage up to call.  It was an ok session.
After that I found TER--and found out how stupid I had been using my earlier method.  Now its based on pics of girls that look appealing, who are in my price range, and who have good reviews by names I recognize.
Not sure how enlightening that was, but hope it answered your question.
