Question to the providers who are still on the board and posting. What do you look for when you first meet a new client in person?  

My average clients are white collar professionals, 98% Caucasians, over 40 and well-groomed. Once in a blue moon, I'll get a gentleman who works for the government. Bottom line: due to my client's industry, they have to be well-dressed anyway. It's hard to explain what I'm looking for. I'm just a sucker for men period.

I am a people watcher it is fun, so when I first meet a new friend I look at their eyes, mouth, and hands first.  If the hands, and mouth appear to be unclean that is no bueno for me.  The eyes never lie.  To me the eyes are the window to the soul.  I can usually tell if someone is a drug user.  I prefer to play sober.  Clothes are another thing I look at because everyone is different.  I like to see individuals styles, or if they have business attire for work.  The retired man can usually be spotted by his casual attire.  

I usually take care of this formality while booking. I learn a lot about people over a genuine phone conversation and I can always tell right away whether or not we have similar tastes and/or lifestyles. This helps me to determine if we would enjoy being on a date with each other for an extended period of time. I automatically reject guys who brag about their accomplishments or material possessions. It is a turnoff, and guys who do that don't really have it that way. However I admire it when a guy has great style and we can share a conversation about the craft of something that is material. This tells me that the guy knows what he is talking about and isn't just bluffing to make himself seem well put together.  

if I were, the FIRST thing I would look for is, did he bring his wallet.  

.....cleanliness should go without saying but sadly it still needs to be said.  The eyes of course as already mentioned and an air of self- confidence without being too cocky or or even remotely arrogant is extremely attractive to me.   On the other hand a degree of hesitancy or timidity is endearing and it brings out the nurturing Momma side of me.  A kind, humorous, gentle face and demeanor mean a lot, too.  Attire reflective of one's station in life or profession means little to me because I have little interest in socio- economics though the manner in which he may dress himself çan be very alluring whether he is an international banker or a cowboy.  Being natural whatever that may be for him is most important to me any sign otherwise is a red flag.

His eyes, his stance, and his scent.

I'm 47, I own a service company and have always been a blue collar worker. I don't own a suit and never have a reason to wear dress shoes or cologne. LOL.  When I'm not working, I'm on my boat at the local lake, or better yet in Lake Havasu wearing flip flops and partying with 30 other boaters in a cove. In the winter, if I'm not running the boat (yes, it was 80 degrees yesterday in Arizona ) you will find me at the dunes riding quads, camping in a toy hauler partying at night around a 15' bonfire. Every chance I get. Maybe I'm camping up on the Mogollon rim at 9000 feet in a beautiful national forest in the mountains with friends and family, BBQing and making smores at night over a fire. You can't pull toys with a sports car! You will never find me at a golf course, or in a wine bar LOL.  

If people have read the book, or know it, then it can be held in high regard. An older friend of mine, looks like he is homeless, but has a ton of money. Everybody know it in this small town and are always sucking up to him. Interesting to watch the lawyers, accountants, etc., vying for his business.

He carrys himself,  Talks and That Hes A Gentlman ..   I also find * A Mans Arms and Hand to be SexY *

I am a lot more likely to show up in shorts and golfing shirt than a coat and tie, but I do wear a Rolex and I usually wear crocodile moccasins that cost more than my first couple of cars. lol

...EYES!!!...the eyes never lie...you change everything else-eyes are it...its the first thing i look at when i meet a new female friend...big tits/nice legs/ass/etc...nice....can be  important,but you cant change those eyes...also..dont judge by clothes...my biggest client for my biz...met me wearing a hoody and two different colored Converses.....business suits are just uniforms/costumes...MOST of the ones who have it,would never be pick out as the ones who are it....

I totally agree! I grew up in Wisconsin however. The culture has nothing to do with geographics. Even in Wisconsin I had a bass boat, snowmobiles and quads/motocross bikes (as did all my guy friends). I think it may just be the guys you know, or are familiar with in your circle possibly? Here are the two categories successful men fit in IMO: College educated, or skilled tradesman. Both have spent a minimum of 4 years learning. One in a college, the other in a trade school and apprenticeship (or journeyman program). I'm not sure what kind of clothes a guy wears matters when they have the money to pay $300-$600 an hour for no strings attached sex? There are a lot of masculine men who don't dress like a mannequin at the men's warehouse when they are not working LOL. I'll be in a solid color fitted T, with jeans and my Chucks, or Jack Purcells! (unless I go out, then I'll wear a button up collared shirt).  

The reason for buying a $30,000 Rolex is to have something to hock when you go broke.

LOL,

That's what I tell my friend who owns a garage. He says I dress nice. I tell him he has more money because he doesn't have to buy nice clothes for work and keep up a public image. His 'work' money goes into tangible investments that, generally, increase in value over time. A lot can be depreciated or expensed.  

Just tell me you're not wearing Tommy Bahama. If you are, welcome officially to the Old Fekker's Club.

White faced Daytona? Tiffany co brand? How close am I?

I do not wear boat shoes/deck shoes. That’s way too preppy for me LOL.  

All of the provider responses pretty much cover all the bases. I personally look for cleanliness and their attire. But really it's about how they carry themselves. I think someone else also mentioned the eyes, kindness, confidence but not arrogant, their demeanor. Same for me. I also like to see a sense of humor. As long as I can find some point of connection -- and they're respectful and clean with no weird vibes -- I'm good to go.
