Next up is my 2 month SE Asia trip in February to Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. From what I'm gathering, prices have gone up even there, but still 1/3 of what it costs in the US. The best part of it all is my Social Security will be paying for the entire trip.
Monger on dudes!

Not sure if they'll remember me, but I can point to gents who might recognize me for reference.
Anyway, I. I've been trying to cure the itch, but man. Escort reports pretty much told me everyone I looked at was a bullet to be dodged.
1 is a maybe, I'll check.
*sigh* Maybe I should just go to bars on my own and make new friends. Give actual dating a try for once in my life. Minus the apps which suck.
I miss the Gangbangs (GBs) I used to attend.
If anyone wants to meet and trade war stories, DM me. I'm game.
Probably even try to find some tail for later. Like I said, been to GBs.
Group action doesn't bother me but I understand it isn't for everyone.

Posts: 534My take and tips for noobs
I've been hobbying since 2007 (not near as long as some of you) and have never seen such a sad state of affairs as it is here in SC. Besides C-19, what I see as an even higher detrimental effect on the hobby is the proliferation of candy coming across the border. I refused to knowingly see a provider that indulges and have walked away a dozen times when it was evident in person. Not only are bad actors usually involved, but the danger to one's health can be forever.
The important thing is to remember that you must always be in 100% control of the situation. IMO, only AMP's can (mostly) provide that.
Instead of always walking away disappointed, spend some time and get some AMP game. Be a gentleman and respectful but don't be a poosy. Dress well and be groomed. Tip well WHEN APPROPRIATE (never high the first time). Learn some of the language even if it's "Hello" or "you look wonderful". When you meet someone worthy of your funds, get her number, (preferably WeChat or LINE). I've gotten GFE at least 50% of the time after I've targeted a provider. I do realize that some if not most of you are married so being able to follow this may be limiting. There're no guarantees in life but following some of these tips will put the odds in your favor. Of course, YMMV.
A little off topic but I'm currently in Destin with my travel trailer on a three-month tour from SC to the FL Keys and back. I do this annually (since C-19) and after some careful research, sample some of the wares along the way. This particular time, a Korean provider I met last year wanted to join me and I flew her down for 2 weeks from NY (I'm taking her back to the airport today). The cost was about 2 K including $500 cash, airfare, food and excursions. We both had a blast and at 100 a day was worth every penny. Let me say that I'm an equal opportunity Monger and have had similar experiences with Thai and Chinese women! This is what game can do for you if you put the work in.
Good luck mongers!

Joining the chorus of me too, I also am out. I've been involved in a LTR with a woman who was (is?) a sex worker, and during that time took a hiatus out of respect for our relationship (though she continued to 'work' during much of our time together). Having just ended that, and based on my experiences in the past and the current situation in this desert that is the Upstate, I'm out. High-end providers are scarce and I've found most while more attractive and devoid of drama, are unsatisfying as their high-end status means they have limited offerings. Sugaring these days involves a collection of fakes and girls who have read too many Reddit posts about how to pick pockets without providing services, and most come with some form of drama or very quickly become clingy and demanding of help out of untoward circumstances of their own making. As for regular dating -- at my age, the women are both unattractive and come with even more baggage than I have!
My mind (or at least the small one) still wanders at the thought, but the big brain has way too much knowledge and experience to give in. As others have said, if you stay in the game, best of luck to you and stay safe. I'll read your reports with interest, though as most do, suspect they will only reinforce my decision!

Posts: 822Me Too, too
I started in this hobby in the mid 80's. Bounced around the US with my career and plenty of disposable income until recently. I can honestly say that the scene is the worst its ever been.
I think the beginning of the end was the early 2020 scamdemic. That, coupled with the insane interest in only fans and other online schemes, basically ended the hobby. Add the fact that I enjoy women from age 20 to 30 which just happens to be the "why work" generation.
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I consider myself fortunate. The hobby was good while I was in my early 20's thru my early 60's. I don't feel the urge as much anymore so it doesn't matter so much for me personally. Somebody started a body count conversation at a local brewery the other day. I realized that I had tagged about 400 women, many of them accepting of my various fetishes like anal, swallowing, spanking, threesomes, DPs etc etc. So, yeah, the hobby WAS good to me. And now its over.
I hope all you other mongers stay safe and I enjoyed the exchange of info and stories here over the last several years. Maybe we need a greatest hits stories or funny stuff that happened while getting laid thread to entertain us "retired" folks.

I've been away from escorts for a few years. I had Jenn as a sugar baby since she first popped up on SA and deluded myself that everything was ok during her decline. A few years back when I knew I shouldn't be doing this anymore she had a dust up with her meth dealer in the hallway of a decent enough apartment complex that someone had to have called the cops. It gave me a moment of clarity to why the hell am I even doing this. Yes, it was during a session. The event was over and we were both still undressed, she answered the door completely nude.
I did the SB thing for a few years after that but if I wasn't being taken advantage of I felt like I was taking advantage.
I'll hobby when I travel now. Too much bad stuff can happen and having it happen close to home is what the call bad news.

After my ATF has retired. I've spent the last few months sampling the talent that's out there. The past month I've never seen such a pathetic scene as we currently have. This past month I've reached out to probably 30 plus women and Jenn has been the only 1 to reply. I've never been much on spinner type women. I like bustier women but not sloppy fat either.
I look at these ads and most just turn me off. The ones that do look promising are either scams or so flaky you can't count on them. AMPs aren't much better either.
Time to boycott the scene until better comes around at reasonable prices.

Great thread. Misery loves company, as they say. LOL.
I gave up mongering (in the truest sense) locally years ago. I still visit local AMPs occasionally. But I realized about 5 years ago that prices go up and quality goes down. And that trend has continued for those 5 years. I no longer look at STG or any sites for locals. I'm sure there are some diamonds out there. But frankly, from what I see, the quality of these girls should be valued at less than half of their asking price.
Best move I made was moving to the international scene. Maybe it's not for everyone. But let me tell you, that is where you find value. People criticize the price. Guys, you can find flights cheaper than one session with these below average locals. I can't recommend it enough.

I'm taking a break in 2024 as well. Getting it out of my system now and going in hard on my investments so I can retire early.

Posts: 137I have basically given up at this "hobby" and moved on to other things. It started out as a thing after my divorce of three years in 2017. I initially had some great experiences with TT and Griff and it only seems to be going downhill and getting more expensive at the same time. I'm sick of the poor hygiene too. I stopped seeing two regulars because they obviously weren't showering frequently enough. I can understand the STG crackhoes but these are the 500 eros girls. These women are also allergic to starting on time. I can count on one hand the number of dreams that weren't delayed by at least 30 minutes. I have had to threaten many of them by texting them that I was leaving and we will reschedule when I was sitting in the hotel parking lot. It amazes me how fast they are ready after I do that. Complete joke and they never respect out time. They will 15 minutes you to death if you let them.
Had one send me to the wrong hotel and then throw a fit when I told her I didn't have time to drive to her. I did but I was too pissed to even hate fuck her. She still demanded I send money for the whole session. This provider has 60 reviews. Had one coming to my house one time and she said she was running a little late and I said no no rush. Over an hour after we planned to start I asked if she was okay and she literally went to the grocery store before coming. I asked why you did and and she said because you said no rush. No rush did not mean you could go shopping when we were going to have a date a 5 pm. I told her it was too late and we will try again and she threw a fit too.
Their screening requirements are ridiculous. Their attitudes are always hostile and the communication is equally as poor. You will send out a dozen emails or texts and you will maybe get one reply back. Most will hit you back in a week or two and then ask for your drivers license and at least 100 in deposit. I have been scammed twice by high end providers with deposits. Both of them are extremely popular and have lots of reviews. What am I going to do against someone that has a picture of my drivers license. I have more to lose than her. Lesson learned and never doing that again.
I look at ads occasionally now and I see a girl advertise dumb shit like "your wildest PSE fantasy" and then she has a No list that lists basically every single sexual act and the price is 700 per hour. No thank you. 90% of the girls in Asheville don't even shave their pits now.
These women ask so much and give so little in performance and respect and I think it is at the point where this "hobby" is more work than actual dating. Keep in mind that all of my experience are "high end". I don't even think it's worth entertaining anything below that. I can not imagine going through all of this and then have the woman be fat and ugly to top it off.
