I just met with an ATF and was reminded, once again, why she is an ATF of mine.  

I am a serial hobbyist. And, its interesting how simple it is for a provider to make the experience extra special (and get me to pay top rates and return again and again!). Really its basic service. And, from the reviews I have read, it seems quite universally agreed upon, appreciated and valued.

Now, obviously appearance is the first criteria for most fellows in choosing a provider. But, and this is true for most relationships, it is the personality (both sexually and non-sexually) that really determines the ultimate, long-term appearance. This is why some providers can ask for higher rates and continually get higher ratings.  

Here is what good basic service means- The aforementioned ATF is very warm (e.g., smile, good eye contact, simple hug upon first meeting her and leaving), focused on me (e.g., doesn't answer phones, does ask what I like, and delivers what she advertises) . Now, she is professional. She asked for the donation but in a way that was charming. She was aware of the time but did not mention it or seem rushed. No one likes to be rushed. I have to tell you one provider I was with handled the time issue so well. She told me BEFOREHAND how much time we had. She offered to pro-rate the session even! Guess what. I saw her again and again.

Ultimately, I am thankful and appreciative of my ATF's - they really are the best!

Anyone else have some great experiences/service they received?
Any providers open to saying what makes their experiences great?

Thanks!

As a hobbyist I am very new to the game. Some 4 years after my wife died I decided I needed some feminine attention but women of my age  did no appeal to me After a career as a scientist I researched the topic. TER seemed one the best places to start.  

I read the reviews, looked at the websites and selected a gem from TER. It was probably the smartest decision I made. She was older than many but honest about her age, intelligent, beautiful, honest and ever so helpful.  She really clued me in on reviews, and sites to establish my credentials and protocol for approaching a provider.Once when I had misunderstood what the donation was to be, when she got home and a day or 2 later she reluctantly told me. I was so embarassed and I offered to bring the amount or mail it to her. She wouldn't accept it because she felt she was at fault for not explaining to me in the first place.

  I guess the next woman I met showed me that one has to be skeptical about photos that don't always represent the product. She was older, fatter, and weirder than advertised but I learned my lesson.  

The following ladies are all beautiful, bright, sweet and are lauded for all their talents, attitude and performances.Unfortunately for me 2 of the next had other talents and they retired, Before they did they recommended me to friends of theirs who are now in my trio of ATF.

They all are my dear friends as well as excellent and popular providers.  With each of them I have shared OFTC activites. At my age (old) I'm past the stage of notching my belt for each "conquest."
My life has been worth living after my wife died and I enjoy my new hobby.

I've had some very good experiences that made the sessions memorable and the best ones have always been where we connected somehow - and the whole thing was not just a professional business arrangement - or at least it seemed more.  

The basics - like you said, that go a long way, I always get in-call - so assume this is her place: act friendly and warm, a smile, a little joke or something to break the ice, offer a drink - even if it is just water, offer access to facilities -if needed, have a clean / picked up place, some music, nice lighting or candles for atmosphere, some uncrushed chit-chat, wear a little more than sweat pants, offer a hanger or place to hang clothes, don't trudge through a mechanical script, no rush after, I don't have to be waited on necessarily - but getting us both a wash cloth / towel to initially clean up is a good start, offer access to facilities to more extensively clean up (preferably a shower), hug and a kiss going away… like I said the basics - nothing too complicated.

I've had a couple ladies go above and beyond a couple of times for a couple of snags due to me being a dork. Best example from my early hobby days:  I arrived at a well established lady's location and promptly proceeded to lock my keys in my car. She could easily have freaked or been pissed. She noticed my sunroof was open a little, she located a hanger - somehow got her long thin arm through there and was able to snag the manual lock. Were fiddling with my car in front of her discreet home, she was dressed very nicely, it was just not cool! But she not only helped me out - it took like 20 minutes - and I was just so happy to not have to have called a locksmith or whatever, I was willing to pay her for the session and leave - I was a bit of a wreck, and thought she must think I am a complete idiot. But she invited me in, offered a drink and we went on to have a wonderful fully scheduled time. I did provide a nice additional tip - but it really didn't make up for her trouble and her saving my ass!

Karma… Golden rule, whatever you call it: treat others as you'd like to be treated. That works.

Couldn't agree more about the "basics" making a big difference. It's surprising how many providers don't pay more attention to them. JJenner is on the mark...nice personality, showing interest in making me feel great by demonstrating they care about providing a great experience (in and out of the bedroom). Simple things like showing some excitement in scheduling, being on time, making an effort to look good, and asking - and asking again about what I'm interested in.  

Phoenix seems to be a great area with well established ladies that seem to have the basics. You locals are lucky!! Anyone willing to share a top 3 so I'm not wasting an opportunity for an upcoming visit? Post or inbox. Priorities are "the basics" and great looks - only preference is shorter/petite.  Someone who prides themselves on looking good and is good company to have a nice night with at dinner and after. Thanks in advance.  

P.S. - yeah I know how to search reviews, but as you know, the performance ratings are more bedroom acronym oriented which may not always reflect the basics.

Send me a pm with your real handle and I will give you some great choices........

When I have a great time whomever I'm with or just finish being with knows how extra special my time with them is or was.

I typically arrive with a hand held type of travel bag that goes under an airplane seat. It contains a wrapped gift with a thank you card in case I have the special experience I was looking for.

Deprived

Guess I just love women, and consider them very special to start with. After all, some of them put up with ME! )
