Familiarity can breed contempt
[QUOTE=NeoDude;4142328]I was of the opinion that the holy grail was to score consistent long term SB and life would be sweet.
Well, just ended a 2 year run and before that a 1. 5 year run (both were between 25 and 30 yo).
Was it worth it?
Spent way $$ more than planned. Allowance was managed. The incidentals, dinners, and trips really added up.[/QUOTE]Even though I have no SO and don't have an issue with being seen in public with my SBs, I try to keep the incidentals to a bare minimum. They can wind up being a major expenditure.
[QUOTE=NeoDude;4142328]Both ended the same way. The more comfortable they get with you, the more you are treated like a boyfriend (not in a good sense).
Less attention, less fun in the FC, more drama, more hassles, and yes, hate to say it, heartache.[/QUOTE]There can be a fine line between being a bf and a SD. One of the reasons we do this is to avoid the drama and hassles one goes through with a SO relationship, while keeping alive the sexual variety and excitement of a fling with a hot younger gal. It can be a tightrope walk sometimes.
[QUOTE=NeoDude;4142328]Now need to start fresh in the bowl and dealing with much more unrealistic SD expectations than in years past.[/QUOTE]I think on -line sugar sites are more polluted than ever with GPS and pros. For quite a while now I have been fishing in different ponds. See my recent post on the merits of day shift strippers as one example.

[QUOTE=NeoDude;4142328]Would have been better if I kept a rotation going and stayed aloof.[/QUOTE]Amen brother.
[QUOTE=NeoDude;4142328]Let a few good ones slip away and now are nowhere to be found.
Live and learn I guess.[/QUOTE]There are plenty of fish in the sea. The trick is to keep practicing your fishing technique and don't become too enamored with your catches.
