do they pay the agreed upon amount for the time of companionship, and they do not NCNS.

I am curious, what makes a good client in your eyes? What is the difference between a client you look forward to seeing, versus one you just dread? I am curious because there are clients I enjoy working with, and those I don't. It makes all the difference between a good day at work and a bad.

Thoughts? Criteria?

Wouldn't you want to know that might be relevant that another lady will share:
Is he fat?
Is he clean?
14" or 3" dick?
Is he 6'10" or 5'2"?
Is there a disfigurement?

Basically any thing to keep them for gasping or laughing when the door is open.

For the record, I happen to be the only guy in Minnesota that is considered perfect in the hobby world.  Several of the ladies have told me so, right after I handed over the cash.

I really think that being a good fit for both sides in a client/provider relationship is ideal, on more than just the financial level.  Anyone can pay for a service, but that doesn't make both parties happy in the end.  Yes, for some it is the one and only aspect of this business that matters most.  OK, I get that.  But, making a connection on the physical level is important as well (does the client like kissing, hugging, touching, DATY, massage, BBBJ eye contact.  If the provider doesn't enjoy one or more aspects on the physical level with certain clients, when she is providing that service to him, that discord will come out sideways sooner or later (either in the quality of the service or in her own personal life)...

Eventually.

Also, for me, personally, no amount of money can make up for:

Having a client who is open to being receptive to my "style" as well as showing me what his is, in the art of "sex for hire"...we all have our individual styles of doing this, and it makes for such an awesome experience when we are open to all the possibilities on the road to Bliss!   A client who relaxes and is open to new ways of doing things is so much fun to be with.

One who is considerate-shows up on time and makes contact in a timely manner if something comes up that causes him to be late.

One who practices good grooming-cleanliness, (also shaving those poky whiskers that hurt my soft skin the day of the appointment, and paying attention to the 5 O'clock shadow).

To me, this isn't just about the money.   It's about providing a service that brings pleasure and joy to the lives of my people, making human connections in which the shared experience adds a quality to each of the lives involved, one that stays with us throughout the day, the week, and possibly longer.  

It's about making memories that linger....

With people who matter.

And, I get paid to do it!!  

May I begin by saying I have been fortunate. Most everyone I have encountered has been a joy. There is one however, that has stolen my heart. The moment we met the chemistry was blinding. From that first kiss at the door. I remember he was tired that day. He is a hard working man. The experience did not include any semblance to mind blowing, toe curling sex. In fact, I was worried after he left that I didn't do my part, & he may not return. Little did I know that day, my instincts to just pamper, & sooth, with a loving touch, a soft voice, & warm gentle kisses was all that was required at that time.
He is smart, witty, gentle, passionate, & generous. (I'm not referring to monitory things) He has always been forthcoming with feedback. good & bad showing a genuine concern for me, & my wellbeing. He is continually supportive of me growing in the industry, & stops at nothing to help. He is appreciative of my attention, & humbled by it, even though it is I who believes she should be at his mercy. Professional boundaries are adhered to, & respected. He never asks, or expects to be treated special. He in fact declines my offers to provide special rates, or extra time.
When we are together, it is easy to forget this is a professional encounter. I am oblivious to the rest of the world. During our sessions it is hard to determine where he begins, & I end. The ULTIMATE GFE date. There are no awkward moments. The flow of passion is unlike anything I have ever experienced, yet we are still able to keep things into perspective & although it may be difficult at times, we stay within professional boundaries. Together, we create the fantasy of a love affair we all wish for if only for an hour, or an overnite. Well into my retirement my eyes will light up, & I will inherit that silly little grin everyone is curious about when a memory of him crosses my mind.

No it's not just about the money, but that is the basic requirement to play.  I have connected with a couple of ladies and that does make it a special experience for me and hopefully for her too.  It is also the reason I return.

The cash part was really kind a joke.

I have found this connection only once, she was and is a very special lady to me and always will be.

Wow !   That writing is beautiful and poetry indeed..... I have had that feeling twice....once (she) used me for it....and once (she) saw the humbled personality as a weakness.... You are so fortunate to have your feelings and attitude in-line & once again....I love what you wrote !
