The Raleigh area "Sugar Bowl" (SA, WYP, SD4 ME)

[Donatello]

The Raleigh sugar bowl is full of talent right now. Good times for all.

I can't emphatically agree enough! I LOVE Fall Semester!

The last few I had didn't work. Not sure if there is a work around or if I'm buying the wrong type of car. Any help is appreciated.

I always use a vanilla MasterCard debit gift card. I've had no problems with it.

Some prepaid cards won't work when you submit online. You need to contact SA support and give them the info, then they'll activate the account within 24-48 hours or so. Good luck!

Yaya.

Any intel on unicornb?

Maybe make this a little easier to find in the future.

STD checks #1 . Opens the entire conversation right up and leads perfectly into. The principle of money, consent, sexism. The angles with which to use this to make for a better overall experience for everyone. It's something to truly consider, and any person would appreciate it being brought up.

If you ever would consider a business partner.

I want to reply to a couple of posts all at once, hopefully that's cool.

2) Definitely a trend. I actually bring up STD safety stuff at the first meeting. I find that coming right out with it gives me all the info I need: are they safe, are they tested regularly, are they the sad casualties of regressive politics and abstinence-only sex ed? Usually it's 1 and 2 or 3. I also ask if they got the HPV vaccine and don't proceed if they haven't. If it's someone I intend to make an investment with I'll discuss document-able testing just to see how they react. The most trusted reply I got was "hah, yeah. We can do that, but I'd never trust it because it's all invalidated the moment you have sex with someone again and this isn't a world of trust. It's a world of transactions. " When I first started reading this and some other boards was the end of my seeing "regular" appointments -- way too many people trying to go BB with a pool of people using IV drugs and that's just insane. (sorry for the soapbox).

3) the end of point 2 was the best worst thing to happen to me. I went totally SD / UTR almost three years ago and I don't think I'd ever go back. The mirror to Thresh's point about being a target is that unlike with the backpage or even high class zones we can be in absolute control if you do things the right way. One important thing to note is that there are WAY more real women on SA than actual SDaddies. So we should all win by default. All of this assumes you understand how this is different. I can go to Raleigh Denim and spend nearly $200 on a pair of raw-denim jeans. Work them in the right way over the next six months and then I have a custom fit / fade to my body that will last me years with little to no extra investment. Or you could go buy three pairs of Levi's for that price. They will all be good, but never fit perfectly, will wear out in a year, and expect to see your co-worker wearing the same cut and fade at the work picnic. And then there's WalMart jeans. You might get crabs just trying them on.

Slow your roll. Do your research. Figure out your style and persona. Then start raking them in. Here's some testimonials. I'll give direct links via PM to some of you senior members (good SA match can still be UTR).

1- I joined last week. Spent the weekend lining up options since I had a work trip to another part of the state. First night I got there I met my first date for coffee at 4. We were in the hot tub by 5, to the room for round one, out for dinner around 7:30, back to the room for rounds 2-exhaustion. She spent the night. Everything was on the menu. Like pornstar meets kinky sub menu. Our discussion over the weekend included her naming a $$$ a little south of 1 k. I told her that I totally believe she has guys lining up to throw that kinda money at her but it was well outside my intended budget. We settled on less than half (and slightly more than the top priced BP girls around here).

2- Had someone lined up for the next day, but felt tired and work meetings were frustrating. So I told her that I wasn't feeling good and asked to wait until later and she was fine with that after lowering her stated price (and my saying I wasn't trying to low-ball her). That evening I got a text from night one asking she I'd like to "rejuvenate" in the hot tub. I said I would, but my budget didn't allow and she snipped back that she wanted the tub not my money (with a wink). Woke up with her the next morning as well. When I was leaving town I sent her a note saying I had fun and she replied that she did too and really hoped to see me next time (but remember this is NSA. I'm 100% yours when we are together, but only when we are together).

3- "work trip" was always a bit of an exaggeration. I was on a tour to see what I could establish in the area since I'll be there about 4-5 days each month for the coming year. So I started this day saying goodbye to my first baby and met my contact from the previous night for brunch. We had a nice time and made plans to get drinks at the hotel that night with the parting gift "and lets just go with that lower amount. You actually make me feel comfortable and it would be nice not going home feeling gross. " Started drinks picking up that conversation line. And talked the complications of consent and money and sexism and ended the night in my bed and her declining money. (that happens only once in a blue moon and I've already sent her some stuff I know she needs for her art addressed from "an anonymous patron. " (I'm tipping my hand here. I do believe that money and consent makes things fucked up and sticky and I did send it anonymously. But I knew she would know it was from me and wrote "I don't believe in romance, but this made me smile and I can't wait to make you smile again" . Call it a long con or a game or business, be good at what you are doing and you'll succeed).

4- day four was a wild card. I'd been corresponding with a number of other local college girl types. These can be flighty and fickle. I seem to have the right amount of charisma and humbleness that they will usually talk themselves into doing more with me that they claim they will do. So I had a couple on the line and kept pushing them off being busy or "not sure if I should invest the money. Business deals on this trip aren't working out how I had initially expected. " Had one offer to meet me for drinks "just for fun" out of the blue. She suggested a place and I countered (I always counter). Fast forward to my giving her a ride home instead of via Uber and being invited to her dorm room "because it'll be so hot" or something.

I'm out about 7. For the week. That's for two overnights (both with tours to greece) plus two more evenings. That comes in at under $20 an hour. Sure it's not non-stop action, but this always works for me. Next time I'll have at least three to choose from and all of them will meet me for even less than this first trip. I'll send some gifts in the meantime. Everybody feels good getting gifts in the mail. Make someone actually feel good and they will want to make you feel good too.

Back here now and have a test the waters date tonight in Raleigh, tomorrow in Greensboro, and Wednesday in Burlington (Elon) plus someone asking if I would like her to drive here from WS to meet for drinks since I told her I was getting too busy. All have the expectation of an initial meeting with me saying I'm gong to be traveling a lot over the next six months so we might have to space things out. By the end of this month's paid SA account I'll probably hay ve my next year or so totally lined up. I already know at least two people I've spoken with will just be FWB since they are either stepping out or using SA as a way to get a very specific type of arrangement.

Go in expecting to invest, but think of it across the full year and do the cost analysis. You'll be so much more happy about it in the end. Tinder has mostly dried up for this kind of action. A year ago I was swimming in women from there. But I'm ending up preferring these set-ups because they want to keep it on the DL and the ones I'm going for are using it like a useful tool that same way as I am, so it works.

Again, hit me directly if you want some specifics. I'm also happy detailing how I engage with them. Just not out here in the open.

Just a reminder to everyone that the good ones make all the bad ones and flakes and no shows worth it. I had just about given up on SA, but I spent two hours in a hotel room this afternoon with a 19 year old knockout and I'll be smiling for at least a week! Happy hunting guys!!

[JamesTr]

Does anyone have any experience with Britta0? She used to go by LadyLarimar and has been on the site for a while. Please PM me with all details that you have.

Thanks!

[MrFrankPicard]

Brothers please post info on hotels in our neck-of-the-woods that do not rent to guests with an address on their Driver License that is within 50 miles.

This happened to me when I tried to check in at the Quality Inn in Chapel Hill.

To get a hotel room near one's house, booking for an escort would be at the bottom of the list. I used to always get a room anytime I'd go watch a Hurricanes game figuring I'd want to drink a few beers and not drive back home. Or even one sweltering summer night my AC went out so I grabbed a room for a night or two until I could get it fixed.

[YayaGogo]

I'm debating whether or not to pull the trigger with Brooke00. Seems friendly enough, but if anyone has any info (pro or con) please pm me or post here. Thanks!

Did you just walk in or did you call / try to book online?...

Used Choice Hotels app. Other local hotels (Comfort Suites) in that chain do not have this policy. It appears that it is not uncommon for hotels to have this policy though it is the decision of each location rather than a chain wide policy.

[Phil Deez123]

Alot have that as policy but few if any anymore enforce it.

Definitely seems like a weak policy that they should not enforce. There are absolutely reasons that you need to be out of your house.

[John HandCock]

Wow, I never heard of that before. There are certainly plenty of legitimate reasons to book a hotel in your own area. Romantic "getaway" from house and kids, or being out of the house while an exterminator is working, and lots more. But if some hotels are doing this, we should know, thanks for pointing it out.
