Hey everyone.

I'm a noob to this hobby and after a few bad experiences, I finally found TER.  I've been researching heavily but haven't been able to find any solid advice on what to do in preparation for a date.

One of my biggest concerns is hair.  I'm 1/2 Italian so I have it EVERYWHERE.  Are providers usually ok with chest/back/butt/stomache hair?  Or should I start waxing/nairing it off?  Trimming/shaving of the pubes is a given.

Also, do many providers have size requirements?  I mean this in several ways:
1. At a mere 5'2" (the other half is Filipino), I doubt I'll be taller than many providers.
2. I've let my diet/exercise regimen lapse for the last few years and now I'm in not-so-great condition.  Will a provider turn me down for being out of shape?
3. Being half-asian is not without it's downsides.  Fully erect I stand approximately 6.5" long but width is probably 1.25-1.5". Will some providers refuse or reduce services to someone who is not well endowed?

Additionally, what would be considered good phone etiquette?  Should I speak to the provider as if we are good friends, or as if this is a business transaction?

I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but I've been ripped off badly with a CL bait-n-swith and even more badly with a Rub-n-Tug where I paid over $800 to shake my own hand.  I want to know everything I can in order to ensure happiness and satisfaction with this hobby.

Since joining TER, I've found a very useful tool for finding legitimate providers as well as a compendium of information about the hobby.  I've just applied for RS2K & P411 memberships, as well.

Thank you in advance for any info/advice you may be able to provide and happy hobbying!
