This is a repost of a posting I put on the Knoxville TN board. I'm through Greenville often and have 2 potential SBs that I am talking to right now in your area. Hope the following perspectives are helpful.
I've seen much written on the approach to use with non-pros and ladies on SA (and similar sites) across various media sources, in addition to private discussions. What I have come to understand is that your approach needs to be consistent with what you want. If you are looking for a brand new SB to break-in, there are approaches that are better aligned to success in that arena. If you are looking for an experienced SB, there are certain approaches that are in your favor.
I got into this world without knowing it over 3 years ago. I had a fabulous relationship with a lady in another state. My move to TN has torn us apart and thus started my quest for a new SB. I turned to SA because I didn't have the time to put in the legwork to cultivate a SB from the general population.
I don't have a lot of time, even given the SA supermarket of shelves stocked with all manner of potential SBs. So, I have developed a style that works for me. Many SDs like to be congenial in online communications with potential (POT) SBs. They want to schedule a meet soon to assess compatibility and see if intimacy is in the cards. They often slow-play the situation so as to not frighten off POT SBs.
I made the decision that I don't have time to work on creating meets that may only reveal incompatibilities. On addition, my business and personal travels take me through other larger cities, so my range for POT SBs covers local options plus those in other cities I frequent.
I use a process to learn as much about the POT SB as quickly as possible. Most have vague statements on the profile concerning what they are looking for. Unless she is very specific and I can rule her out based upon that, I have no problem contacting them. I cast a wide net on SA ignoring the amount they request. I am honest and accurate on my profile (don't put average if you are overweight). I don't post a public pic, but can share a private one if requested on SA.
If I get any interest back on SA, I engage quickly. Be advised, many of the younger girls get on the site infrequently and will shoot out responses to their 50 messages and then be gone for 3 or 4 days. I have no patience for that and move on.
For those that I start a dialogue with, I'm looking to establish compatibility quickly. I usually describe my current arrangement (time, frequency, general activities, etc) and ask if they are interested in something like that since I need a replacement SB. I then reveal more about my intimacy approach and ask about theirs. I ask them what they need (economics), but do not reveal what I have provided my SB. I let them know that every arrangement is between me and that SB (builds trust that you won't be discussing their business). I let them offer a number, but never treat them negatively for it. If it is crazy, I restate it like, " So you want $2000 to meet for about an hour in public once a month?" Followed by, "If you find that guy, tell him that I'll meet him for $1500. " Her reaction will tell you if she is reaching for as much as she can get, or has GPS.
During our discussions (SA, text, phone, e-mail) either of us may determine it won't work for compatibility issues (personalities, activities, availability, intimacy, economics). The sooner you can establish a problem and move on, the less time you waste.
A few weeks ago, I had meets lined up for 6 of 7 days (5 ladies, 1 repeat). 100% success rate on intimacy for 3+ hours with each. They were from as far away as 3 hours and all meets happened from Knox to Cookeville. Total outlay was less than 1300 including food and hotels, where needed. A good week, but had to rest to let skin on Mr Happy regenerate. Serious condom burn from ones that are to increase HIS pleasure. Nope.
I've had a few ladies flake on a meet, but I check ahead of time and have back up plans. I've had 1 meet that resulted in a planned session a few days later and she flaked before intimacy.
I know what I want, I go after it. I don't tolerate BS, irresponsibility, or lying. My experience is that the young girls may look great, but they are more trouble than they are worth to someone that is busy. Also, most can't hang in there during intimacy. I've found great success with insatiable, stable women.
Figure out what you want and what you are willing to invest. Take the plunge and develop your style. If you have any game, you will be successful.
