Parlor Styles ....

[Midwest Couple]

Ok experienced mongers and ladies.  We would like to throw out a question for you all. 


We (especially Mrs MWC) is horrified at the notion of a lineup.  How you'd pick one lady from a lineup after only seeing then for a few minutes seems ridiculous to us (especially Mrs MWC). 


From our experience, we've been to Inez DD, where we lucked out that we met Peter and he learned about our interest and he picked us out a great lady to party with.  We've also been to Sherri's, where we loved the parlor feel and the ability to meet different ladies and chat briefly before choosing who to negotiate with.  We've also been to Chicken Ranch, where we've hung out in the bar and had ladies sitting in the bar who may have been approachable, but more casually hanging out than "working", and the one time at CR when we had requested to meet a lady we'd chatted with previously online. 


So, our question is - which is more common at the houses we haven't been to?  We prefer the ability to meet and chat with ladies (especially Mrs MWC) and get to know them and allow us an opportunity to tell our story and preferences to party.  Meeting ladies online is great, but only for the ladies who spend time online.  Which houses would cater mostly to our fondness for parlor mingling? 


Thanks all!

The Mustang is Parlor oriented lineups only on request

At the northern Hof houses, lineups are encouraged, but you can always decline a lineup and just hang out at the bar.  Although, not all of the ladies work the bar area at any given time and some may only appear when a lineup is called.  You can always ask to have a specific lady come out to the bar to talk.  Sometimes the "double ring" works and you won't get an automatic lineup, but it depends on who answers the buzzer ...LOL.

The Mustang is the best house for mingling in the bar area, since like 9er said, lineups are only by request.

Since you've been to Inez, you should like Mona's if you haven't been there yet.  You can ask to talk to any of their ladies out in the bar or you could ask for a lineup ...LOL.

I like partying with some of the ladies at Sue's, but it's not the friendliest place for just hanging out in the bar and meeting the ladies, either before or after partying.  They seem to like to get their customers in and out rather quickly ...LOL.

I heard good things about the Desert Rose, but I haven't been there yet.  The ladies like to hang out in the bar and mingle with their customers from what I've heard.  ChicagoBob could probably give you more info about the DR.

The Dovetail is a small house, but Monica and her ladies treat their customers like family.  No lineups!  The ladies all mingle with the customers out in the bar. 

Like Hof's northern houses, the LRV and ACH seem to encourage lineups, but they are small houses, so you can always opt to talk with the ladies in the bar.

At one time it was 2 rings on the bell if you didn't want a line-up, but that no longer seems to be recognized, so you still get on. Keep in mind you don't have to pick from the line-up.
