I started my mongering career in the SW arena but the quality is extremely low (unless you happen across Lolo in UPH) and the findings are very hit-or-miss. I enjoy the hunt but with Carthage being buster (except for Crazy Carthage Katie), CW being barren (seriously, the only reason I go there any more is to pass through to MCM), MCM dwindling BADLY (even lacking the usual creepy-crawlys as much), and even UPH not as reliable as it once was, I'm seriously tired of 2 hr round trips (starting in Roselawn, Carthage, CW, MCM, UPH, then back again. Occasionally hitting WH but I've NEVER seen anything there) and 1/4 tank of gas to find what I can get from Katie BTOTB for $ in a private and safe location. I mean, there ARE times SWs are out but it's been VERY dry lately.
I've tried a few providers from LC and STG with limited success; again only Katie was worth a repeat (although I'd like to revisit Hanna Sweetz when she is able to incall again as our first and only visit was cut short for lack of a cover). Candy (haven't tried, looks pretty) and Kay (dead fish) might work in a pinch, Anna in KY was awkward, and Saffy was sweet but TOO alt / spinner for me. I do appreciate the direct nature of those sites but sometimes look for something classier than "come get this hot twat".
As such, I've been peering into the bowl but keep seeing shit like "my perfect first date is to walk on the beach with champaign and save a turtle" or "looking for someone to go out on dinner dates and engage my mind while we live-laugh-love and travel to Paraguay for an adventurous weekend hiking then ending with a perfect evening walk on the beach with champaign and saving turtles". I don't care that you like drinking tea and putting together puzzles or going to movies. My favorites end with "take care of me and I'll take care of you" or "tell your wife you're supporting a good cause".
Do these girls really believe this tripe they're writing or that we're looking for a companion to spend our money on saving a goddamn turtle? Or am I missing some coded messages?
I'm not cheap, but I hesitate to spend credits for pics or to communicate with someone whose profile mentions knitting and enjoying fine wine, however I see posts here where guys take the plunge and report on success on the first meet.
Provider sites are comfortable in that when you ping them they know why and usually their first response is $/$.5/$$ Now, part of what interests me in the sugarbowl IS the additional companionship (dinner, hit the bar) but lets be honest in how I expect the date to end. I'm also interested in a regular thing with a decent girl (again, better than "Come smash this sloppy wet pussah! But I would like a PPM thing with regularity.
WYP seems like it would be fairly direct (I mean, "price" is in the name right?) but they have the most saccharine posts. I've read BAM BAMs posts on his experience with each and level of success, but I mean are we really reaching out to build a relationship or is it just girls doing the same thing as LC but think they're better / prettier and get more money out of the bowl sites?
What's your favorite opening line? How long does it take (either of you) to get to the point?
I appreciate all the posts and will take the plunge at some point when I don't think I'll make an ass of myself or coming across as creepy. Any experience or suggestions, best practices, opening lines, etc anyone is willing to share (that won't violate their competitive advantage, though I think there's room for all) would be extremely appreciated by a newbie (in the bowl) trying to move his game to the next level.
