What’s the criteria for your ATF

Sylar · Jan 2, 2025

Hello Merbists,

Happy New Year first of all. I hope everyone had a good start in 2025.

As someone who usually prefers experiences with new SPs over repeats I was wondering how you all set the “criteria” for your ATF. In other words, how and when did that special lady become your ATF and what triggered this unique “promotion”?

Was it after a certain time period? (Duration)
Was it after certain amount of dates? (Frequency)
Was it a service only that particular SP offered?
Were you comfortable sharing private details outside the bedroom?
Did you meet outside of the paid hours as friends? (Activites without intimacy)
Common interests?
Or just feeling a connection?

I understand it will likely be a combination of all the above but I am curious how each of you found your ATF and what made that person so special.

Bonus question: Once you had your ATF, how often do you see her compared to other SPs.

Thanks!

Connection + Chemistry. That's it.

Lack of physical attraction precludes the latter.

Also I put a lot of effort into myself so having my partner be attracted to me is also a major factor and it cannot be faked, although there's definitely individuals that are good at acting

My ATFs are men that not necessarily book often but that make every date a special moment.

Men I can be my true self with and not be scared to be weird and make inappropriate jokes.

Men that make me comfortable enough to see them in their private residences.

Men that I could forget to ask them for money because it felt like a regular date.

Men that aren’t necessarily rich but that will still spoil me by booking longer dates or by taking me to a restaurant.

Unlike clients, I have no control on how many times I see them so I just hope that I am their ATF as well.

I know there are differing definitions of ALL Time Favorite. For me, my definition of an ATF is "real" GFE.

I know on this board, GFE is a term used for certain services provided.

For me, I think GFE means you really feel like the SP is your GF where you can have a good chat and have great action. Had 2 ATFs according to that definition.

For me, the SP will become my ATF if (overtime) there is a genuine / authentic mutual interest (vibe) whereby we can explore / experience the 5 types of intimacy together easily and / or with some effort and attention.
Physical.
Intellectual.
Spiritual.
Experimental.
Emotional.

How did she became my ATF? It was simple enough, I first saw her pictures and had this physical attraction about her, read her very well review and was immediately drawn to her even before seeing her in person first. Our first date was amazing, her reviews were accurate and I felt this sensation that was hard to miss, I'm sure she felt it too.
I needed to make a second date so I could go back and pick up my jaw that fell to the ground on our first meeting. After picking it up we sat and chatted about our childhood...she is 14 years younger then me and yet still so much in common, the way we were raised, music, activities, she likes older gentlemen and she also felt close to me. She became my one and only for 2 years and I wanted more but I thought, what if there are more gems like her out there?
My search started but it was never easy, I found others that were very hot, sexy, but without the personality that my ATF has. I never did stop seeing her but every second time I needed to be with someone I did my research and after 1 year I stuck with her because she gives me comfort and I feel like I'm at home with her, true GFE.

For me it's more like there was something at first that attracted me that gave a first impression to book her. Mainly it's about the character, intelligence and energy that she has.

I would say an ATF is not based on the first encounter or the following. But more on the indescribable feeling to want to see her again and get to know her more.

As for the bonus question I would answer in the opposite way: once you have your ATF you are less likely to see other SPs.

But I would rather ask if you have ATFs

I've thought about it but I don't have any one person I would consider an ATF rn. Everyone I've seen (that I would repeat with) brings something different and exciting and I find it hard to put one above another for very long. It's a good and bad problem bc it's hard to narrow it down to just a couple dates when I'm in town.

Great thread!

Emotional compatibility: a trustworthy person that is drama free. I also feel most comfortable with people that have a personailty of their own (I am ok with weirder people - aren’t we all ) but emotional intelligence is important as well.

Physical chemistry: I am not looking for Claudia Schiffer…but someone I find beautiful in her own body. Like a confident girl next door - I find more attractive and a top model without personality. Most importanly, respect in the physical part of dates. As I said here before, Aniah (massage) is by far my ATF - she was no full service. I’ve always respected this and I know she appreciated and gave back more (like amazing bbbjs). We did indulge once into full service at her initation, but I felt I was crossing a line…never happened again even if I still fantasize about that late afternoon meeting.

Fun factor: to have each meeting fun, chatting about what’s on the news, or the last hockey game etc. But also getting to know each other and get more genuinly intimate (how did your dad’s surgery go etc.)

Communication skills: easy to talk and organize our rendez vous. Getting a feeling that we are telling each other some true things (without revealing our personal life that should stay confidential). This feeling that you and her can stay honest and open.

These are my quick reflections on this Saturday am

^^^^
I agree with this criteria, pretty close to how it is with my current ATF.

Especially this part:
“Emotional compatibility: a trustworthy person that is drama free.”

Cheers!

Must be a kisser, non stop kisser and with cute feets. I'm happy with that!

In no particular order:

Great kisser
Great dirty talker
Enthusiastic PSE provider including Greek
Confident
Shorter than me

I picked her out after reviewing hundreds of ladies web sights and photographs so obviously in my eyes she was gorgeous and I liked the elegant and classy photographs in cocktail dresses instead of the in your face nude porn type and the way she described herself the experience you could have with her.
She didn’t disappoint and after seeing her a few times I was hooked on this kind smart and easy going elegant lady that always looked as if she stepped out of a fashion magazine.

It has been 8 years now that I have been seeing her and she is a close friend, we talk often through email, text, I see her often it is really like having a gorgeous girlfriend without any commitment or the hassles.
She is so easy and pleasant to be with, be it in the bedroom or in a restaurant, just an amazing young lady who I will always be grateful to for her kindness and for being in my life and making it so much better.

Sounds great! Not like a friend of mine who is cheap with no balls to getting an sp waiting around for off and on co worker 60 girlfriend who controls him when to have boring sex!

She is in the same kinks as you
She says the right things at the right time
She gets you hard constantly (even you think the session is supposed to be over but you're ready to go again)
You are able to make her cum both clitorally and vaginally...
Genuine connection and chemistry...
Long hair...
She gets very wet before going down on her

My ultimate ATF kept me going hard for 14 years! I dont expect this to happen again, and its perfect as it is.

It started with her taking all the initiatives on our first session and even though I was already well seasoned in the sex department, she left me speechless! Not much talk went on that day, but on our following encounters we quickly started to open up about our respective lives.

From there the chit chat was always honest and genuine and the sex just got steamier with time. She never started the clock really, the lenght of time we spent together was random, sometimes I had only 1 hour between work and other times we could spend 3-4 hours together.

Never got charged more than 1 hour and we would often meet for lunch out and book a hotel room after at no charge. I have to admit, it sometimes felt like having a gf, a very naughty one!
