I'm a bit leery of running into people I know from business.  I like to keep those two worlds apart.

I have seen no fewer than 3 gals I met at a Meet and Greet.  It's a great way to hook up.

What are the pros and cons of attending a meet and greet?

First of all, it's fun to hang out and party with like-minded people.  It's also great to see the lovely ladies in the flesh to have a better idea about whether I'd like to see them.  M&Gs have led to many nice dates for me.

I remember one particular M&G in Atlanta where I had to literally rescue a half a dozen different ladies from the same hobbyist. Each one of them had that "please kill me" look as they looked desperately for an escape from this poor slob. I earned myself a lot of brownie points that day. lol

but by and large, I have seen very little of the bad behavior that many women are worried about, I think the worst thing that is ever going to happen at an event hosted by a reputable host is maybe a few minutes of being cornered by a socially inept hobbyist who is the only one who thinks he is interesting. Unwanted groping, asking for "free samples" and the like is frowned on and most good hosts will show any guy acting this way the door in a NY minute.

Like minded- Doubles, friendships with girls, a possibility or a nightmare?

Besides meeting potential clients, my hope is to make friendship with 1 or 2 girls. Share experiences and maybe even offer a double.  

I got to meet some ladies I would have otherwise probably not had the chance to AND I got to meet some ladies I had wanted to see but afterwards was glad I did not.

It is managed properly and has some rules.

... and have no plans to ever do so.

Another thing I will say is that if anyone has a case of low self esteem, all they need to do is go to a M&G and they will feel much better about themselves. I own a mirror, and know I am not "all that" but when compared to Jabba the Hutt, I come out looking pretty darned good. lol

If you are even the least bit concerned about being outed (which really can't happen if you already show your face) I would never attend.  

it's a social encounter. Nothing more or less.  

Female, female sex is not only tolerated, but encouraged

There are also often "after parties" where the rules are bit less rigid and the participants usually know each other. I have some very fond memories of some of "after parties"

First M&G in NYC I had ever heard about was infiltrated by a news reporter.
I think it was a magazine reporter. Point is. No one knew. Except the people running the thing.  
I remember everyone debating on just how dangerous that was..
That is just way to close to home for me. I would imagine even more for a provider.

I am familiar with that incident, though I was not there.  Don't take it is an example of what happens.  It was a one-time thing and that host is out of the business.  There have been 4 or 5 M&Gs in NY since then and all were quite discreet.

Oh also no undies , sit and cross your legs , give em a little view .......and trim always be trimmed ...and smile at the jokes and kinda laugh like a ha ha ha who who .....and lower your rates , heart attacks cause attention ! Lol

Next to inviting a reporter, snapping a photo of someone, anyone, as the most indiscreet thing you can do.
However, I have seen some encouraged groping and even know of some sex between consenting adults going on in the bathroom.  It's all in good fun and nothing is done without prior consent.  Some hosts do have a "no sex" rule, which is fine.  The main thing is to let all guests know in advance what the rules are.

Found one of my ATF's and met some ladies that I was wondering about.  I even met a certain famous photographer.  

If you said the M&G was safe. I would believe you, and probably go.

another nice thing is, if you subsequently have a date with someone you met, you've already broken the ice.  You know exactly who's on the other side of the door and you've established some sort of a connection.  That can be really nice.

nothing like seeing a provider up close and personal. The M&Gs in LA are well attended by the ladies and the new host Astra has picked up right where Bond left off.

to your previous post, I think that your Jabba = my Jabba. There is a strong possibility...but I suppose that there are probably many Jabba's amongst us. Who knows?  

Wear a burka , and leave the rest to their imagination ............

Laughing out Loud..  

I just hear of this M&Gs. How do you get invited to the ones in NY? Everywhere

It's easy.  You simply need to be screened by the host.
PS: You have a PM.

If your going to get to know people like us that like the life style then its great. however if your going to see live sex shows type of stuff then skip it. mingling is OK for a hour then go gamble if its at a casino area . enjoy love Jennifer xj6

J/k.

interested in seeing. As has been said, you can judge their appeal to you firsthand rather than have to make a judgment based on a posed pic.

That was just for humorous effect, nobody actually talked to me about that. I'd bail on that convo, politeness be damned.  

Be safe...

So why do I like her?

Whether you're aware of it or not, I was told you might be at an event I'd be attending.  Discretion forbids me from saying when, where or from whom I had this information.  Believe it or don't.  It doesn't matter to me.  If it doesn't happen, you can rest assured I will be far from crushed.

And yes, I was only kidding about the 'crushed' part. I think you missed the 'LOL' part. LOL

Whether some guys approach that hardcore with someone they'd just met face to face.
