I am just a newbie and perhaps my analysis is simply anecdotal, but:  do the providers who are less classically "Hot" (ie not conforming to contemporary beauty standards) provide more/better service(s) then those who are (or perhpas who appear in their on-line persona) to be the typical male fantasy?

I am thinking in particular of fetish and fantasies  but also foreign languages like Greek.

I hope I have phrased that appropriately and inoffensively.

Typically you can get any two of three basic things in a good provider: Price, performance and beauty.  If you get all three in one gal, marry her.

but there are notable exceptions.

Mostly I notice that the less Barbie-like providers price themselves lower than the rock hard model types.  If you can get beyond looks and just enjoy the personality and pleasing ways of a good average looks and body provider, you will be way ahead of the game.

Not at all - this is TER - What I have found is that it varies all over the map.  One of the best lookin ladies I have ever been with also gave me incredible sex... also been with incredible lookin duds.  same is true for the less blessed.   Attitude is what influences performance.  Some ladies enjoy the hobby as much as the men... while others only see the $ sign...  find the ones who enjoy the hobby, meeting guys (interesting or not), and who are comfortable with who and what they are (and I do NOT mean prostitute but a lady who enjoys sex) and are intelligent - and you will have an incredible time... anything less?  well it will not matter what they look like.

When I read the reviews, I am always fascinated by those where the lady has 10, 9, 8,10, 7, 9, 4, 10, 7, 9 on performance... what I do is read the 10s and the 4 to see what happened... more often than not, when I look at the guys that gave the 4 - something about that session indicates that there was a particular incompatibility between two people - and NOTHING To do with the hobby - they would dislike each other - no matter the circumstances... When I see consistant performance below 6 - but above 3 (3 and below are the no shows and B&S routines)... what I see is an attitude... the lady who "just does not want to be there!" no matter the dude.... sadly, if you have such a session, you too will just not want to be there....

I did see one lady who fit none of these categories... and she was just so different - that I could not write a review... don't get me wrong - she was an adequate provider - but just so different I would have to create a new lexicon just to describe the experience....   one guy did write a review of her - and took the review into a whole different language...  but when I read it, I knew EXACTLY what he meant - but I doubt that anyone else would know what he was talking about...

In short - it varies - all over the map.

I found myself nodding a resounding "yup" as I read along.

BTW, if you got my PM, the lady I mentioned is referenced in paragraph #1.  Good luck with that.

But she reminded me of the drawbacks...namely, my SO, her SO, and that neither of us do monogamy real well.

Short of that, she's as close to perfect as anybody I've ever met.  Which, for the record, is about 23% perfect.  And people say I'm a cynic...hah.

Appearance is appearance and performance is performance.  Momentarily forget that when it comes to reviews, opinions of these categories will be subjective and will vary from gent to gent depending upon his likes/dislikes.

Appearance and performance are not reciprocally related.  Hot (your term) ladies can and do perform superlatively. Hot ladies also can and do 'just lay there'.  

Women who will screw your brains out (my term) can be and are smoking hot.  Women who will screw your brains out can be plain.

There are thousands and thousands of women who provide.  Their collective appearance/performance possibilites will be no different than the female population in general.  Think of any combination of appearance rating and performance rating scores that you can and somewhere there is a lady that has been evaluated as such.  

You can accept or reject my opinon or those before and after my reply but my biggest advice to you is to earn your masters degree in how to do thorough provider research.  Learn how to use reviews, the TER search tool and communication with your fellow hobbyists to seek out the type of lady that you desire to meet.  Depending upon your location, it may not always be easy to find the hot lady who performs great and caters to your fetish or fantasy but trust me she is out there somewhere.  Familiarize yourself with reviews and learn how to search the TER database to find the lady of your dreams. Good luck dude...                      

I was just in a session with a provider who is truly into the hobby - she has been to Vegas several times.. and has offered to help me! lol!  sad to say, I just don't think anyone can...  I am helpless! lol  I am so looking forward to this trip.  I have been all over the world but never TO Vegas.... hard to believe no?  but I guess I was saving it!
