Clients often mention little details that most providers probably don’t even think about. It’s rarely the obvious things  not looks, not services, not rates but small, subtle moments that completely shape the atmosphere of a session.

How do we know what they're paying attention to and what they're not?

It's usually in the first few minutes that I can feel if it's going to be a fun, or not so fun encounter.  How she looks at me when I walk in, the expression on her face, the way she greets me, and the initial conversation.  
Of course, there are providers that can hide well whatever they are thinking, but I do pick up the subtle clues if she is happy to see me, or not so much.
Fortunately, I have mostly chosen providers who have been wonderful companions.

Both of the escort and her attire and the location. Whatever she might be wearing does it make her look her best or is it an attempt to make her look young (when she isn't) or something that is not well fitting. Is the location tidy or is it like a hotel room where she is living out of her suitcase, which is on the floor in plain sight. Is the bathroom neat, are the mats/towels on the floor soaked or mostly dry? Is the lighting doing anything to enhance the experience, not even a thought given to it, designed to make it hard to see?

I like the genuine feel that she is really glad to see me.  

So I have not done this often, well as often as other that have many many more reviews.  When arriving, I really take in the area. Nice neighborhood or not, nice apartment, or not, nice hotel or not.  I am sure providers think the same thing when visiting someone.  That sets the whole vibe for me.  Either I am relaxed going in or not. If I am not I bet that the ladies can see/feel that and it makes for an awkward start.  As for the first few seconds, the smile and then the eyes.  It may not be the same for others, but each time I have had the chance to meet someone, I knew how it was going to go, at least the start. A genuine smile with bright eyes puts my at ease from the get go and I relax, and I am sure If I feel relaxed she does too and it flows from there..

Strange I know, also the front door mat. The over all aroma of stepping inside and allowing that moment to linger and see where your emotions go.

You kinda know what she’ll look like.
But it’s how her place is kept. Lighting, well made bed, how clean the room is and just the overall feel of the setting

That tracks.  I remember my first session with my now ATF.  I remember her opening the door to her incall, and being wowed by how clean it was, and nice it smelled (and not to mention how gorgeous she looked in that red lingerie).  The bathroom was meticulously clean, with all the amenities you would expect from a nice hotel.  The bedroom had nice soft lighting, with soft music playing.  In all my time, I still haven't seen a nicer incall!

Yes!  I realize it's more difficult to set ambiance when moving from hotel to hotel, but some ladies do make the extra effort.  
Unfortunately, my sense of smell is overly sensitive after having covid, and some of the scented lotions and perfumes can ruin the session.  

That's literally why they are asking the question.

Just curious, do you usually mention this to the companion before seeing them? I ask because I imagine most including myself would want to know something like that so they can create the best setting for you.

1. being on time
2. safe area
3. Cleanliness of room and smell.
4. Smile/contact when you first meet
what I mean about this is that when I arrive they are not sitting on a phone, doing something else, pre-occupied, etc.  They great you with a smile, hug/kiss, some physical contact.   The little things that make you feel welcome and set you at ease.
5. Then conversation while you make your way to next activities.   Be it you find the room ok (hotel), have a safe drive, find the location, my directions were good, having a good day, etc.   It can also be how do I look in the outfit...then my eyes are on her and i feel comfortable and can complement and engage more freely and get comfortable.  

Yes, I usually  request no perfume use, when possible not to use scented lotions.  I have usually had good experiences after asking as most ladies are willing to accommodate the request.
On the rare occasion I have forgotten to ask, or the message was not passed along (agency)  I did not say anything, enjoyed the session, and did not let it bother me.

…you soend your time showering and cleaning down there but completely forget to wash your mouth

If you smoke in your place (either tobacco or weed), no matter how many cans of Lysol you spray or what brand of air freshener you use, the smell will linger and the non-smokers entering your place will notice immediately.  

I find most providers are not self aware when their energy is off. The good ones tend to put on a great show. And, TBH, I'm not going to look her in the eye and say, "Your energy seems off." If she's giving it her all, I'm just going to go with the flow and make the best of it.

Doing an incall and all of the trash cans are filled with tissues and condoms from prior engagements.
🤢

1.  Her initial reaction to seeing me.  Is she excited? Did she sigh?  Did she take a second to fake being excited?
2.  Is she staring at her phone?  Mood killer.  I want to be the center of attention.  If it rings does she apologize or act embarrassed?  That means she gets it and wants me to enjoy myself.
3. Does she enjoy the time we are there together or is she just faking it for the money?  I get why she's there, for the money.  But if you don't enjoy it or like giving good service, do something easier.

Dried cum spots on the blanket!
Disgusting!

Agree to that.  Smoke seems to stick in hair, even after washing.  I notice that and it’s a minor turn off.  Not a deal breaker but it tends to correlate with other minor turnoffs…

I’ve wondered about this!   Do most providers want you to use the trash can, or flush it?  Or… something else?

That's good to hear. It always puzzles me when someone complains about something and then admits they didn't say anything prior. While we are many things, we are not mind readers.

OMG, yes!   So many times I read reviews from men complaining about this or that that a provider did or did not do, and I just can't believe they actually put their complaint in writing.  I want to say to them "why didn't you just speak up?".  
No communication for what you desire can result in disappointment which is not her fault.  
Maybe we should develop a form with a checklist and just hand it to each lady we meet, like an a la carte menu of sorts.

An intake form if you will lol

Us ladies want, from you, the exact same things.

So many gals over the years have complained to me about guys who left shit streaks on their sheets.

Nothing says "all business" like a handshake. Obviously, I do not like the handshake as the action for an initial greeting.  Providers: don't do it, IMO.

Yes, it is mentioned however, Clearly it depends on the quality of service provided/ordered up if you will.

One small detail for me is chipped or peeling nail polish that subtly shapes initial impressions, because many people read grooming as a sign of self-respect. Not taking care in presenting their best self is a turnoff.
