I'm new to this board and somewhat to the hobby.  With all the reviews out their in each town, when I'm visiting a city, what's the best way of choosing a provider??

As a fellow newbie, watch for providers visting your whereabouts.  Read their reviews, requirements, and visit their websites, should they have one, to understand their screening requirements and anything else.

If you contact them via email,  be polite and do NOT mention details you'd like to experience. Be prepared to provide personal/professional info + provider refs (and this is likely the toughest step as only some well renowned providers will offer time to a newbie with no provider refs.)

If you pass her screening, while following restrain, good luck! Remember to set your expectation to low (readas: almost rejection); anything else will be a bonus and is likely to help you in the future.

Do NOT be graphic over any media, face-to-face included. Be prepared to be "rejected" at the last moment even if you've passed screening-et-all and have confirmed a time. Remember that providers prefer folks who've had a history with them and that this fact alone may leave you hangin'; at times.

FWIW

There are lots of factors to consider, but it's really in your court.  What's most important to you?  Is it hot looks, a specific act, price range, natural body parts???  I know what I like, but only you can answer that.  Once you've gotten past that hurdle, sign up for VIP and search for those things.  Keep in mind that your 10 may be my 7 (and less likely vice versa, LOL).  Look for multiple reviews by known reviewers.  Ask specific questions from people that have seen your final cut.

Oh, wash your nuts, and brush your teeth.  The other way hurts!!

My suggestion is to write down all the names of providers in a given city you are visiting that interest you. Then tape the list of names to a dart board and throw a dart. Then call whichever lady the dart lands on. That's about as good a way as any to pick a gal.

if only a few reviews by hobbyists with 1 or 2 reviews themselves, magnify your radar and possibly move on to someone else.
