Well Holly, here goes.  If I like the pics and the reviews, I look at her donation, usually via her website, if she has one.  If she does have a website, I do look at the whole site to help decide if she is a lady I really want to spend time with some day.  If the donation is out of my reach, I just move on.  There are a lot of ladies out there in hobby-land I would love to visit, but I, like many other guys, do have budget limitations.

OTOH, if I don't like the pics, I don't look at anything else.  If I like pics, and don't like reviews, well.....again, time to move on.  Have seen some really hot ladies, but if their reviews aren't any good, I'm not willing to TOFTT to find out if they are true.  Some guys will, we call them slow learners.

Bottom line is, research is the key, and it must be done to maximize the hobby experience.

Hope this helps.

Well it's like this..........and the reviews are really tied in to everything....

I only see GFE's...so I check the reviews to see if she actually knows what that is.  There are a few "must have" items on the menu.  If this is there, I check the rates, and availability, (ie available on weekends when I can play).  After that it is all based on the meeting itself.  If the lady is enjoyable to talk to, has a good sense of humor, doesn't make me feel like she just pushed the timer button, and can pull off the illusion that I am the "only guy on earth" for the time together...then I go back.
To me THAT's what it's all about.  Do I want to return after the initial meeting?!  I enjoy building an ongoing relationship, rather than just cutting notches in my bedpost!

A lady begins to decrease her visibility and isn't getting reviewed as often but is still just as good or better than ever?

Take, for instance, me. I am taking a class that includes steps needed for licensure.  So, the time I do spend with a gentleman is even more intense!  LOL!

intelligence, class, warmth, sense of humor all of which you have in abudance.

reading the ladies" "About Me" pages. I have limited playtime, and tend to ask for dinner dates more often than not. I like to know a little about the lady beforhand, so that I'm reasonably sure that we'll have some fun before we get to the bedroom. There's not much worse than sitting at dinner just staring at each other. The past several ladies I've seen, have been ladies that I got to know here on the boards. The flirting and electronic foreplay have made for some very interesting dates, including a couple of your local Tampa ladies.

Pictures and reviews seem to take care of most of the essentials for me at least.  Of course, donation is a consideration, as is overall presentation.

I have noticed over the past year or so though that a presence on one of the TER Boards also makes a difference.  Although I recognize that the net has it's limitations, I also think you can get a sense of who someone is through postings...at least a start...

And did I mention ATTITUDE??

Many guys just want to get "laid", but to many of us, we are looking for those things that we enjoy that we do not (or never will) get at home.......

Affection, attentiveness, caressing, kissing, touching, verbal excitement or outward signs of pleasure...............(Hello wives, etc!!)

interested in seeing to get an idea of their attitude about life in general and to see if they are a true GFE.  Sometimes, as in Holly's case and I could name several others, I am attracted to a lady from the posts I read here on TER.  What a lady says and how she says it can do volumes to indicate her personality and/or attitude.

Obviously, there needs to be a physical attraction as well.  If you are into numbers, I value the performance "score" higher than the appearance "score".
