We have had ATF themed threads before, but it appears we have quite a few newer posters and I have noticed a trend with new reviews so here it is again.  ATF,  All Time Favorite.  What makes a provider or hobbyist an ATF.  First to the guys, I have noticed several newer reviewers posting that a provider is an ATF after seeing her once.  I am curious about that.  My own experience (and I have a current ATF) is that designation means a provider is quite special to you and you have great chemistry with her.  I typically don't refer to a provider as an ATF until we have seen each other several times, but that's just me.  How about the rest of you?  What is your standard for referring to a provider as your ATF?  Also I tend to have one ATF at a time, but again I have noticed some reviewers who seem to have more than one ATF, some several.  What's the story on that?  Again, I am not saying there is anything wrong with several, since there are no hard and fast “rules” about this, but I am curious about the issue.  And ladies, I know that many of you have weighed in  on this isssue before, but do you have a criteria for considering a client as an ATF?

For me there are several factors that go into it. When I see a girl Look's are the most important to me and i'm not saying that performance doesn't matter. But I'm the type that would rather see a 10/6 than a 6/10. Now my current ATF I would say is a 8/8. I have seen her well over a dozen times and it was probably after the 3rd or fourth I guess I started to consider her my ATF. Although I don't consider her a 10 she is still very beautiful. I think 10's and 9's are thrown around to much on ter. I mean when did 8 (really hot) become such a bad thing but that's a whole other topic. So anyways why she is my ATF and not just because she's hot and always shows me a great time but we just click. We have alot of similar intrests and can hold  a good conversation. She also seems like a genuinely nice person. That's it. Sorry I got off track there for a second.

My ATF's (Yes, I have more than one) are ladies and gents that I have really great chemistry with.  People that I could see myself being friends (and typically lovers) with "in the real world".  

That's my criteria anyway.  As a provider I'd have to say that if hobbyists were reviewed, I'd always take a 5/10 over a 10/5 but I think that's just the nature of the beast in this particular role reversal :P

Cheers!

Literally, it means All Time Favorite so you wouldn't know for sure whose your was until you retired.  But that is not how it is used, at least by most of us.

I think of it in two ways.  Who is my favorite among all the ladies I have ever seen and who is my favorite among ladies I currently see.

I do not think that multiple sessions are required for a lady to be an ATF for me.  There are several ladies that I regard as ATFs but I have seen them only once (so far!).  Of course, some of my ATFs I have been lucky enough to visit on multiple occasions.  But I can also say that I have not been able to see any of my ATFs as often as I would like -- as there never seems to be enough time, money, or energy for that.  (Or maybe I have too many ATFs -- hmmm.)

Simply put, ATFs are ladies that make me smile for days and days and days after seeing them b/c of their beauty, their intelligence, their talents and their ability to make me happy in their presence (call this the "click" factor.)

I have seen my share of ladies that have not had this effect on me and I have seen my share of ladies that do have this effect on me, and even more wonderful effects besides.  The ladies that cross my mind unbidden, bringing smiles as they do so, are all of them, ATFs for me.  It's not something I can control or even choose -- it happens and I love when it does, and I love those who make it happen for me -- it's all about the ATFs.

I don't think anyone really provides a GFE experience, except maybe the lower reviewed girls (5 on performance ;P), but that term gets tossed around for the higher reviewed girls as something to aspire to. Also, love is a funny thing:
In love vs omg, I love your ... Hair, shoes, this gum, whatever. Another word often casually tossed around for every little thing. So, with that, I've fallen victim to describing cute pictures as awesome and various other words that aren't as worthy as the word I use.

So, to me, ATF just means, "I like them a lot more than most.  There's a connection. Yeah, of course you can stay a little longer." . I mean, if there really was only ONE ATF, we would marry them and live happily ever after in bliss and monogamy (ew, I think I just threw up a little in my mouth). People do have more than one ATF, usually, simply because there are different qualities that touch a part of you. Just because another client equally touches a different part of me makes them no less an ATF.

For purposes of telling a third party anything meaningful about a specific provider, I view the term ATF as null content. It tells me nothing useful beyond suggesting that particular author likes that particular subject. If the term appears in a review it is a waste of typeface.

Someplace the term DOES have meaning and content is as communication BETWEEN that author and that subject. On a couple occasions, a provider has made referrence in a discussion thread to something done or said by "an ATF," in a way that I could tell she was referring to me, and each time I've been surprised how powerfully it affected me to read it. I smiled for several hours and kept the comment in mind for days. It is a very nice thing for a provider to say about one of the gents who is paying to see her, without just bursting out with a Joanie-Loves-Chachi kind of statement.

So for that reason I use the term occasionally in a way that the subject can hopefully tell I'm referring to her, in hopes of generating that same frisson of happiness in the lady. An indirect flirtation, if you will. I use the Friday shill threads the same way, sometimes. If I see a new provider and like her, I will post a shill to let other guys know about her as I did for Poppy last spring. But I'm just as likely to post a shill after a visit with a well known lady I've seen many times, just to let her know I'm still thinking about her.

As for how many ATFs one can have, I suppose we could start a new acronym -- OOMMATF = one of my many all time favorites -- but it seems kind of awkward.

simply means that she is permanently in your highest regards.

I never thought about finding an ATF when I started out. I've seen a number of very fine ladies and had very few disapointments but then I always did my " homework " and was very selective and careful. There were several that I connected with very well and saw numerous times. But then I met someone who just blew me away, just amazing. I had a hard time believing what happened between us really did. I had to go see again several days later because I couldn't sleep at night thinking about her and if it really happened.  Well it did and I see her as often as I can manage it.

It's all about chemestry, comfort with each other, trust between the two of us and most importantly the connection between us. I have all of this with her and at level I never thought possible. She knows who she is and she knows how I feel. I can never thank her enough for all she has done for me and my psyche. She is my friend and I am truly blessed to have found her.
Sometimes you strike gold in life when and where you least expect to find it.

I guess I'm lucky that I'm an ugly SOB. :p

chuckle!
i'm in total agreement with ya babe!

You goofball!  You know what I meant.  Who doesn't love a 10/10 but ability is way more fun for me than a six-pack or high cheek bones :P
