I've often wondered if providers considered me a regular. Hope the ladies chime in with their insight.

I have a few ladies I see more than once and consider ATF's. One lady I found shortly after she started. Over the time she has raised her rates and I see her less often because the pocket is not too deep. What makes it more awkward to talk about it is I always stay longer (more her idea) than the donation would reflect. In fact with ALL my ATF's I just give them what I think is fair or I can afford as the donation is never discussed. We always have a good time and our dates always last 3-4 hours. I hope they would say something if it was not OK. Most have gone UTR and do not post donations.

I think it varies tremendously person to person.

I've been told by one provider I am not a regular because I don't see her twice a month or more.

With others I've asked if I qualify for outcalls (which were only available to Regulars) or her Regular's Discount I've been told "Of course you are!" when I had seen them much less than once a month.

Me, if I see a provider every time I get to her town I think of her as a "regular" though it doesn't mean anything in practical terms.  It's HER choice if that gives me special rates or options.

Far too subjective to guess.  If you want to know, ask her.

A returning friend is not a regular, they are a repeat.  Everyone will have their own idea of what a "regular" is.  For some it's a weekly or monthly visitor.  Officially I go with 4x year.  With that there are some regulars who are more regular, yes? Honestly it's those who visit monthly who are considered my true regulars.  

I'm irregular

But fiber seems to help.  I'll be here all week, with two shows on Sunday.

If you see a local gal once or twice in a year, I would not consider you to be a regular of hers.

On the other hand, if you see a traveling gal twice a year each time she comes to your city, and especially if you have been doing this for at least a couple of years; then that would strike me as a regular situation.

There's a lot of shade of gray as well.

I think I would label a 'regular' as a monthly visit.. someone consistent..  In my entire career I've only had one of those. ha ha

I do have many guys who see me more than once- even several times per year, but they don't seem to be on a consistent schedule. I think of them as 'repeats'...

Ok, so by definition

"Regulars" are consistent predictable repeat clients. They never fail to show up with accurate consistency over a period of time.

"Repeats" are clients who randomly visit each year with no consistency or predictability. They can visit you this month twice, not show up for 2 months. Then show up again to visit you another 2 weeks, then disappears and show up in a month and a half.

"ATFs" - for hobbyist to consider a provider an ATF is largely experience-based (maybe "once in a lifetime" kinda thing) and may not necessarily entail "regular visits". But hobbyist may desire to be 'repeats' for their ATF, esp. if ATF is just a visiting provider.

Now, question is - ATF is usually a term used by a hobbyist to describe a favorite provider. On the flip side, does a Provider have an all-time favorite hobbyist?  Is there a term for that? "A VIP regular", "A Loyalist", "King Mangina" ... LOL.

Oh wait. I said that on another thread, too. My bad!

my criteria of what a "regular" is?

I have my set of "regulars" i see every month for 3-5 yrs now.. they have their own set donation as well. Now only 2 of my regulars actually know where i Live nobody else does..... thats the trust we have with each other.  
have a good weekend everyone
