I've had take out from quite a few strippers from contact and non contact clubs and although I almost always paid more then 180$ an hour (current average rate for an agency girl), I have been happy with most of my choices. That being said, I am a long time client for most of these ladies and they don't charge me the "tourist trap rates" of 500-1000$ a visit. I won't disclose how much I've paid as each girl has asked me for a different amount.
What I like about take out is
I know the girl. So I know what to expect. I have seen her strip for me many times, so I know her body and am pleased with it and attracted to it. Same can be said for another important aspect of a great meeting, her personality! I know it and am attracted to it as well. Finally I can tell from the dances a lady gives me if she will be hot it bed or not!

It sounds crazy, but I have never been wrong! Plus take out's are never clock watchers. If they are with you it means they also picked you! So I've had girls stay 2-3 hours with me for a meeting that was suppose to last an hour (now divide the rate they are charging me by the time they spend with me and you are well below the 180$ an hour!). And finally, I like feeling special

. I know girls who see clients on the side don't just do it with me (I'm not that naive), but I also know I will be the only one she sees on that particular night, maybe week (in some cases, month).
The same can't be said about escorts. Apart from a few (photoshoped) pics, it's hard to tell what a girl looks like. You can't see her face in the pics in most cases. You have no clue about her personality other then from a few (if any) reviews here on Merb. And you might be guy #4 out of 5 she will see that night. And since you are #4/5 of the night she needs to be out of there in a rush.
So for all these reasons, take out has been what the hobby has been all about for me in the past months if not more. Which explains the lack of reviews from my part...
My 2 cents.
