I am fairly new to this but curious what everybody's preference is.  Do you go for high-volume providers that are affordable and you can get more visits in per year OR the model type that are high end?

We all have budgets and I could probably do 2-3 high end model type providers (350+ per hour) per year but I have found a couple local girls that are decent 6-7 for looks that get the job done and I can get a quick in and out for very cheap rates. So far my preference is for the cheaper providers.  They are still hot chicks IMO but I just worry b/c they tell me about their shady past or hard lives.  I am also a one and done type guy and I am afraid I will spend a lot of money on a model type and be done in 10 minutes.

,as long as you're having fun there's no wrong answer.

and I've not noticed any variation on quality on account of that fact.

Don't judge "quality" just based on price.

It has to do with connection and chemistry and a whole lot of other factors as well.

When I was first starting out with just cell phone pictures on Backpage and Cityvibe, I met a guy who had seen some top high priced providers in several states. Some of them I was familiar with. One girl he paid $1600 and hour for two hours. Just so you know that wasn't a typo, $3200. He told me "She was no hotter than you. You need better pictures and you need to raise your prices." We had a great time and stayed up all night laughing and talking. He told me that some other providers he felt no connection with and had no interest in talking with them at all.

My marketing approach and reviews now attract guys who are more interested in connection than the "big finish." I tend to get longer sessions and overnights, especially with regulars, who really enjoy my company. So, you need to figure out what is most important to you before shelling out a lot of money and do some research to find a higher priced provider who will make the experience more than "worth the money." Read the reviews carefully and even PM the reviewer to get more info to get more clues if you will be a good fit with her. Otherwise, you may just feel disillusioned and cheated out of your hard earned money.

I absolutely agree that chemistry between you and ANY provider will play a huge role in making single or repeated visits memorable.  Of course you've heard the saying that the journey is more important than the destination, well it happens to be true!... If I have good chemistry with a provider I will repeat at least once and maybe even more because the followup visits are ALWAYS more satisfying, therefore I vote for quality.  Personally, I also believe you get what you play for BUT I don't believe in over paying for ANYTHING not matter how great the impression or temptation.  

Do what makes you happy. I have a large budget and can afford upper end ladies. Thing is I have found I am happier with lower costed ladies. Others swear by the $1000+ an hour ladies. Do what makes the most sense to you. Just remember to screen weather you are seeing a $200 an hour lady or a $2000 an hour lady. Have fun.

personal lives expect a sob story....some do this so u will feel sorry & dish out more cash. I personally hate it when people pry into my personal life & will make it sound drama just so they wont ask again. I do enjoy that they show they care by asking a question, but I personally can't lie & I don't have a cover story (most do), so I don't like them to get personal with me. I always wonder why guys try to get so personal so fast (sometimes asking questions that I don't even answer on a first date in the real world).
High end girls i'm so very sure don't have any less shady pasts...places & dates may have changed but we all have them, even before working in the hobby (while working in the corporate world was made to make some shady decisions)....
Don't get so personal with them...

I've been acused of being chatty (he had no right to make a bad review for it), cuz the clients that click with me enjoy it....when they get close I strike up an off the wall conversation giving them a minute to relax then we start over....I don't see anyone after they've been drinking but one guy I used to let bring a couple with him so he could last a little longer (but inevidiably he ended up drunk & beligerant & I guess something happened during the session unbeknownst me & he stopped seeing me then made up lies trying to get other providers mad at me but hiding who he was cuz I do have his work & cell phone number)...it seems if I'm nice to everyone right off the bat it has its downfalls.
POINT.... don't try to get tooo personal with the girls, just find some things in common to talk about......that way the time would last longer & be enjoyeable for each.
