Don't really like the towel on the bed deal.  Want to think I am the only one to be with the person and a pretend/temp GF.  
Also clean bathroom.  
Just a welcoming place, maybe being offered a glass of wine, or shot of lemoncello!

One too many marlboro's still in her breath... >(

The lady I'm going to see is in street clothes. All the ladies dress in Lingerie ( i know I didn't spell that right). That"s fine, but I think it is more allurring (shit i can't  spell) when they are in jeans or something that they would wear on the street to look sexy. I love undressing a woman as though we were on a date and I'm seducing her. There are of course times when a sexy bikini bathing suit fits the bill. Most providers don't wear perfume because it is tell tale but I wouldn't mind if they did because a shower afterwards usually takes care of that. Also, less talk in the beginning and more sex. Pillow talk can come later during recovery time.

Excellent Idea!

Good thinking girl! I was wondering some of the same things I want to know what the gentlemen like as well..

Atmosphere is noticed, but ultimately, chemistry between a girl and myself is the most important.  That said, music is cool but has to be appropriate not just for the occasion but for the attitude as well (GFE vs PSE, soft & slow vs fast & loud); wet hair tells us that you just showered (a good thing!) and can look sexy, but done hair can look better depending on what you're wearing; I prefer very, very subtle or no perfume at all because even if I shower afterwards, it sticks to my clothes; I always notice done nails, tells us that you care about your appearance and besides they look nice; prefer no incense unless we're going for wild uninhibited bohemian sex (in which case hair can be wet and nails don't have to be done!).  But, like I said before, how we "click" is most important.

I once saw a provider who had these annoying little yapping dogs that wouldn't stop barking.  (She had recently moved, and the change of venue might have been stressful for them.)  I was prepared to ignore them and have our fun, but she kept chasing around after them, scolding them.  Definitely a mood-killer.

First, to respond to your list- music can be OK assuming you like the music they're playing.  But I find music is so individual that usually I'd prefer no music, even though I'm a music lover by anybody's definition.

Wet hair?  Only if we just got out of playing in the shower.  Otherwise, wet hair is a turnoff for more than one reason.

Perfume?  Kind of like the music.  Even though I'm single (divorced) and don't have to worry about the telltale scent following me home, I'm pretty sensitive to perfumes.  Some I like, some make me almost sick, and some actually give me an allergic reaction.  If you have one I don't like, I'd be miserable, so easy on the perfume, or better yet, don't wear any unless we're going out on the town.  I learned this lesson the hard way with both wifey and GF's.

Nails?  I love nicely manicured nails and some sort of polish.  If I see a woman with messed up nails and bad cuticles, there won't be a return visit. I also give extra credit if she had a pedicure, because I really appreciate the effort she made to make the details nice.

Incense?  I didn't like it in the 60's and I like it even less now.

Pets?  I'm with LeChiffre on that one.  I love animals, just not when I'm seeing you.  I don't want your dog or cat in the room when I'm there, no matter how great they are and how much you love them.  At a minimum it's distracting, and some people have fur allergies.  I had one session where the dog just sat in a chair looking at me and another time when a lady wouldn't take her small dog off the bed- both were a real turnoff.

Other things- I'm not a smoker, and the heavy smell of smoke filling a woman's apartment isn't really very appealing.  Cigarette breath is worse, however.

I expect the apartment to be clean and not look like a college dorm room.  It was OK to be a slob in college, but now it's your place of business and should be picked up.  The phone, radio and TV should also be off- again, distractions from our time together and a real mood-breaker.  I once had a session for a FBSM and the roommate, also a provider, was on her computer answering emails and it really pissed me off because it was intrusive on my time and experience with the provider I was with.

As for your appearance, I like any number of things.  Someone mentioned the enjoyment of undressing a woman in nice street clothes, and I agree.  Nice lingerie is also fine- just don't make it bright red.  Contrary to what you might think, red has never turned me on, maybe It looks like you're trying too hard and it's kind of a cliche.  It's exciting to feel like you're undressing a woman you just met, so answering the door naked isn't something I'd want on a first date, though it may be fine if I was a regular.  Another pet peeve is fishnet stockings- I hate them.  I like to feel the soft skin of a woman's legs and you can't do that with fishnets on.  In fact, I've often wondered whether some providers wear fishnets just so you won't touch them.

But maybe the number one worst one is someone else in the apartment or house.  You can always tell if someone is in another room.  It freaks me out to think that I'm fucking some kid's' mom while he's been told to play video games in his room for an hour.  It's not good for anyone involved, and I only mention it because it's happened to me not once, but TWICE. We know that many of you have children, but it shouldn't be something that is part of our time together.

I think a lot of ladies wonder why a guy only sees them once, well, this thread is a good starting point to find the answers to that question.

Setting the MOOD

My AFT sets the mood perfectly and raises the bar high for the rest of the providers.  I show up and this is what I see and hear.  I walk in everytime and this is what I see and hear....Dim lighting, she is dressed in a beautiful bra and panty set, soft music in the background, fire place on, fresh sheets in bed.....She kisses me and walks me to the bed and starts to kiss me and then slowly taking my clothes off and starts to tease me.....touching, licking, and kissing everywhere...

I think you get the picture....Very sexual and SLOW.

If I can smell soap scent on her after the initial hug, a big yes,  I'll know then, I won't get surprise when I lower the periscope for an adventure in the watering hole!

LOVE: fresh linens, well-kept room, clean bathroom.
HATE: Loud music, especially rap or hip hop blaring -- mood kiler.  Also hate super loud music of any kind.
LOVE: A gal who dresses sexily, but not in a Victoria Secrets thing -- I like a GND look, but that is all subjective.
HATE: Cigarette breath.  I never go back and see a girl who smokes.  Never.
LOVE: A variation on the scenario -- hang up clothes, into shower after mouthwash, preview bbbj, etc, etc.
HATE: Strict adherence to the scenario --
LOVE: a gal who smiles.....

DISLIKE:

1) Upselling that is not advertised.  The hobby is based on expectations and transparency (with the exception of identity, of course).  Don't tell me that CIM or greek is an extra $, if its not in your ad.  I don't want to start thinking about money when I'm in bed with you, that part was done when I called you.  In fact, if you upsale, just make it an all inclusive number and get it over with.  If you allow greek it means you like it, but when you upsell it gives makes things conditional and not a seamless fantasy.  

2) Finding that pictures are not as reflective of age or shape

3) Monique style finger nails.  French, solid colors are cool with normal proportions

4) Not being equipped with the right tools - different size condoms, lube, etc.

5) Unshaved kitty. Runways and short hedges are ok, even sexy, but not on the lips, and nothing that curls.  

6) Smelling your shit.  I had one experience when the girl offered greek, and as we got further into it it started smelling funky.  If you like and offer greek, you need to clean up to avoid infections both for you and me.  

7) Rough BJs.  Some ladies think that imitating a pornstar is the right way to go.  Truth is that the pornstar BJ is more visual than sensual.  Obviously, taste is individual, but even when giving the pornstar BJ you need to mindful that it is delicate and attached to us.  Recommendations: No teeth, especially molars.  No bending the cock more than 80 degrees.  No hard clinching of the base, we still need our circulation and you are cutting off the nerves, which will take you longer to get us off.  No pulling of the family jewels.

LIKE:

1) Home BJs. A good BJ is where the mouth feels like a hungry kitty - warm, wet, soft with slight sucktion.  Just think of how you would like to be eaten and apply the same approach.  The tongue is everything and should work its way around the cock like a snake slithering up and down a tree, especially on the shaft close to the hole, when we are in and out of your month.  Cupping, tickling, and licking of the boys are added value, but be gentle and sensual.

2) Ladies who give attention to other erogenous areas on the body.  Jr. & the boys are the only thing parts that are stimulating.  Neck, spine, nipples, wherever there is a concentration of nerves.  In fact, some massage skills are a big plus.  

3) Ladies who perform KYC - Know Your Client.  Ask what he likes, who he likes, what kind of wardrobe he wants and customize the session

4) Ladies who tell what they like.  50% of the fun is knowing that you are having a good time and getting off.  Don't be shy and give instructions if needed.

5) Firm mattress.  Soft mattresses cause you to sink in and restrict movement.  Firm mattress prolongs the intercourse since the rebound bounce helps preserve energy, and allows for faster humping.

6) Seduction and allurement.  Play the game, take control, be the Italian Gucci mistress.

7) Fit firm bodies and nice proportions.  You don't have to get a DDD breast if you're a size 2.  Natural, or close to natural looks are ideal.

Candles add a great touch
Soft mood music - preferably sensual instrumental.   No hip hop, rap, or that "Friday" song.  And never the radio - I don't want to be close to cumin and have an ad for the Boston Medical Group start playing
Absolutely no perfume
Recent accurate pictures and description.   Everyone has preferences so there are guys out there for every provider.   But don't disappoint us by being something we weren't expecting

To read all of these likes and dislikes tells me that some of you had actually endured scenarios that would have had me either turned off like a switch or cracking up with laughter.  I have to say that I'm sorry you all endured most of that garbage, but I'm glad you are willing to mention it so everyone gets a little education.

And because I've been asked twice already via PM:
For the record, those suggestions in my post are not really things I do myself.  I never wear perfume, I'm terribly allergic to it and to quote from Secret Diary of a Call Girl, "A good escort never leaves her man smelling of woman."  I never fill my place with scents (unless I was baking) because your allergies might be just as bad as mine and you'll spend your entire time here sniffling.  No fun for you or me!  

I painstakingly do my nails twice a week...thank goodness that doesn't go unnoticed!  I'm sure the other gals here are happy to know that too.  

All in all, very interesting comments!  And if you're lurking on the boards reading this but not responding, your comments are important too.

...what I like/dislike changes by the minute anyway

One thing that I find frustrating as a newbie is how the (legitimate) paranoia stops us from discussing desires up front.  I understand the fear of LE and the need to keep the planning conversations generic and such but I like fantasy and sometimes that requires some prep.  If I'm going to do something role play with a partner that can be seriously enhanced with the right outfit (or costume), some small details in the environment, maybe a prop or two, a little thought to the situation - not to the level of scripting things but just asking herself, "how would this flow?"  I'm not saying we need to go to the level of Hollywood production for me to enjoy the encounter (my mind works just fine and a willing partner with the ability to read each other and connect is certainly enough) but a quick email that can get graphic enough to sketch out the situation and 10 minutes of thought prior to my arrival would go a very long ways.  For a partner that's already gifted I think that would be the difference between a 9 and a 10 effort; kind of moving from great ability and spontaneaty to personalization that makes an experience unique and fantasy fulfilling.

OK, what was my point?  Oh yeah, I don't feel like I can discuss those things up front without the provider getting spooked that I've mentioned something close to sex and may be LE trying to set her up.  Maybe my perception is wrong though, anyone care to correct me?

I like it when a provider has her s**t together, and was prepared for a guest. She should treat what she does like a business.

If she has a dog, the poochie should be in another room and on a leash or something.
More than once I've had to deal with a provider that spent more time dealing with her dog (or dogs) than me. And it's really a turn off if the dog follows us into the bedroom! You don't know if the dog will end up biting you when you're in the throes of ecstacy.

I like music. I don't care much if her nails or toes are done. I love alluring perfume - adds to the fun naughtiness of the whole experience.  I don't mind if you put on a little more than you normally would.  

A good provider should turn off her phone. This is a must.

In general I have had good experiences, partly because I treat people the way I want to be treated, and partly because I research who I am going to see.  

Wet hair is not a turn on - in general not being ready is a problem. If I see a provider a few times, then stuff like wet hair or a casual look is fine - at that point I'm also interested in her as a person. So she doesn't have to have her stuff together as much.  

Hope that helps. It just really boils down to the golden rule.
