[Head1]

Time for a new poll!

We want to hear from you. What's the biggest green flag when meeting someone new?

Cast your vote and join in the discussion. All opinions welcome – let's get some participation going!

[MLawro93]

All are quite important, but the biggest green flag for me has to be comms. It really sets the tone for what is to come

[RandomGuy99]

It would good if you could choose multiple options as I'd say positive reviews and recommendations and good communications.

[the fitter]

A quick response to your enquiry, always makes me keen, and a cheerful response, when you come face to face.

[schlong118118]

Positive reviews and recommendations from others is most important for me

[bigmike32]

Comms are very importand so is a respectful and welcoming attitude.

[Poopster]

All of those are almost equally important but I'd say a lot of the time we aren't going to know the score on most of them until we've read a review.  UKP reviews are invaluable. 

[MLawro93]

I think they are all important, but the poll is essentially asking what's the biggest one for you. Hard to always single one out so I get the pain!

[nbarnes]

While they are all generally important - to pick just one, it has to be feedback and recommendations.

I've had bad comms that would have put me off had I not been prewarned, the punt has been excellent generally speaking - whereas I've had smooth comms that have not worked out too well in the end.

All important though, and things generally go best when all of these are present...

[Jumping Jack Flash]

Got to be good reviews, positive feedback from others on here is invaluable.

[WASA38]

For me it is the first, ie being greeted with a warm and convincingly genuine smile.

Obviously good reviews are essential but I wouldn't visit anyone with poor ones in any case..

[Bum Lovin Criminal]

Nope!  For me I'm not so much bothered by ambiguous reviews or patchy comms.. as long as when I do finally get in the room with her she's welcoming,

positive, very friendly and super into what she's doing..ie me, and all over me like white on rice till the final bell..

[chuck_88]

A warm, welcoming and friendly attitude.  I can usually tell within the first 20 seconds whether or not punt is going to be great or not.

[Nomerzypuntr]

A friendly and welcoming personality 50%
Good communication beforehand 50%
A professional and respectful attitude 100%
Positive reviews and recommendations from others 75%
Good looks and presentation 50%

[MGDC]

Looks obviously why we participate in this hobby. But she can look like Sydney Sweeney and she wouldn't do it for me if you can tell she doesn't enjoy the work and has a poor attitude to the work. Would rather someone who is less attractive but still looks after herself and a great attitude to the work

[Slaine]

Couldn't have put it better myself 

[westeros]

like the others have said, all options are equally important but for me , my punts are very rare and spur of the moment ones nowadays , so good coms before hand makes everything tick better.

When you can only sneak in a cheeky hour, every second counts . so when you send a message and they take forever to reply it means sometimes i miss out on the good ones

[RandomGuy99]

Having good communication and crap reviews wouldn't work for me.

[Thephoenix]

A friendly and welcoming personality 50%
Good communication beforehand 50%

Positive reviews and recommendations from others 75%

I've just asked my young grandson to check my maths, as I worked that out to 325%.
Isn't that asking a lot? 

[Nomerzypuntr]

I got bad services when 50-75% mentioned above so her prof n res attitude matters to me (Green Flag) Gramps don’t calculate too much stress less and have your tablets 

[MLawro93]

Having good communication and crap reviews wouldn't work for me.

I can rarely accommodate planned meets, but will make an exception for a few. But outside of that, most of my bookings are done on the day these days, so I need communication that is clear and covers everything in one go. I don't expect instant messages, but I can't stand a reply after 2 hours, and its just "Yes" 

[shed]

Dodgy location for me is a no go and poor hygiene

[Thephoenix]

I'm old fashioned so a friendly and welcoming personality is important to me.
I'm paying a lot of money for a service and first impressions count.
A professional and respectful attitude also comes into the same category under customer service, and I've found that to be even more important as I've aged.

I'm from an era when good manners and politeness were perhaps more valued and I think that should be the baseline in any punt.

[Bum Lovin Criminal]

True, but I've seen many a SP with a crap review but an absolutely Blinding Punt on the day..   MMV.

[scutty brown]

A professional and respectful attitude 100%
Positive reviews and recommendations from others 75%

Well we knew your English was confused, but your sums are even worse

[Paul9144]

I picked 'Good communication beforehand'.

Reason being, no good comms usually means no booking at all if the SP or SP comms handler don't manage them properly.

That being said, I feel that all of them points are important, especially the reviews.

Time for a new poll!

This!

I've had bad punts after great comms, I have great punts after crap previous reviews, and had dreadful punts with good looks and presentation

For me a a friendly personality, with a respectful attitude would come out top if it was an option, but they generally go hand in hand.

For this poll though, A friendly and welcoming personality is most important

[NervousJ]

with prices now high, reviews and recommendations are first and foremost for me.

[wristjob]

I put down a welcoming personality but it's  bit more nuanced than that. I think so much is down to chemistry, that's the bit that draws you back at least. I've known a couple of girls where I felt I'd known them 10 years after 5 mins in the room and that is what really gives you the authentic appeal.

Absolute first time pre-meet then it's reviews and appearance (and hoping she looks like the pics) but I would only put a limited amount of faith in either. Different people value different things so lots of positive reviews doesn't mean I'll like the girl.

[Sweep70]

It has to the comms beforehand,if they are conducted in a positive manner,you know the punt is going to go well.

[The Outsider]

I opted for "A friendly and welcoming personality", but what I really mean is a proper snog as soon as we're in the room.  Never had a bad punt that started with a good kiss. 

[mancsguy1975]

If I could add an option it would be "Ultimate discretion".

That includes things like wearing heavy perfume etc

[scouting]

I've voted A friendly and welcoming personality as my main green flag, though without positive reviews it is less likely I would get to see the SP.
