and wasn't this cash outlay supposed to be about me???
LG brings up a good point here - and this is the most common philosophical place that most SP's fall short in.
YES, we should be nice, respectful, courteous, and kind to our SP's, after all they are people and are entitled to proper treatment - just like the people who provide other services in our lives deserve.
YES we must ensure that there is nothing about ourselves (that we can help) which makes the SP experience difficult or unpleasant - hygiene, grooming, appearance, manners, etc.
But all else being equal, the "professional" aspect of an SP's existence is to devote herself to the client for the time period that client has invested in - be it a 1/2 hour, an hour, 2 hours, or an entire evening. It is, as LG puts it, "supposed to be about us".
Too many SP's have an air about them like they are doing us a favour by allowing us to blow a wad of cash to be in their presence for an hour or so. It's not always necessarily overt - it's often just a subtle flavour woven into their attitude which comes through in their service. They may be very nice, but still lack that "charm" that makes it really worth your money. It's generally what keeps the experience from being more than just "average".
The truly mind-blowing experiences we've had generally have one thing in common - for the time we're there, the SP makes that extra effort and pays that much more attention so as to make us feel "like a king" for that session.
With all due respect to all of the girls out there - and especially ones that post here - too many SP's fall short in this regard.
