I stuck to my tried-and-true regulars (5 years plus) and much less exploring due to:
less product available
fear of DFK and DATY (them not me)
It seems for most now DFK and DATY is off the table more likely than not for a 1st time meeting. I am trying the basic "walkups" and "phone appointment" providers. Those trying Hotel Girls (not for me because of bait and switch and asshole agents wasting my time (told to be in lobby at 14:30 and then 14:55 told to wait 45 minutes ) and Honey Girls may (more $ than I want to spend on unproven talent) have different results.
DATY and DFK are elemental for me. Kind of a lost world which won't return even with a border opening. Its not totally gone but it won't happen on a 1st "date" like it used to, it will take patience and a long term investor view.
That's why a stick to my regulars, it's business as usual.
It will be just one of those things that the next generation will not understand. "Dad, you mean girls kissed you on the first meeting? Really? " Like I can tell my 20-year-old nephew there was a time 25 years ago when I used to travel CX business class all over the region and you could request from the head purser to be allowed in the cockpit during landing, and if was not a training flight or the jumpseat was being occupied by another crew member, at the discretion of the captain they would let you go up (and see the legendary and somewhat frightening landing into Kai Tak - those of you who can remember . I would always sit on the right side look out the window and I am not making this up I would see on many occasions through the top floor apartment window a whole family sitting around having dinner, or watching TV). I tell people the story about going up to the cockpit and they think I'm making it up.
Keep on my mongering

Same thinking.
DFK, DATY and Regular providers using their brain and good protocols!
