A little off track, perhaps
My brothers,
At the risk of getting tossed out of the club, I feel I must weigh in on the recent turn some posts to the Logbook have taken. In my opinion, the thing that separates this thread from all the others on the site that I am familiar with is that it is not just a "notching post", but a real forum for the exchange of knowledge, experience, wisdom gained in the trenches, and yes, anecdotes of successes and failures, all in the pursuit of that most elusive of quarries, the true sugar baby.
Now before some of you start to compose your replies that "isn't it all pay-for-play, even in marriage", I just don't want to walk down that alley at this point. Let's agree to disagree on that.
But if you are knowingly bagging a pro, no matter where you have met her, your report just isn't helpful, in my opinion. I think any one of us is familiar with the procedure, and the reason most of us are here, and not on the many "escort report" threads, is that we are looking for something more rarified - fly fishing vs bait casting, if you will. Again, this is my own approach, and a wide open blog such as this is a living, evolving thing, so it may just be evolving away from my particular viewpoint. If that is the case, so be it. However, as I said, I think this is the most literate, informative, helpful and insightful place on the site, and I for one would love to see it stay that way.
I realize I have exposed the throat, as it were, with what I have written, so if you disagree with my opinion, have at it. It's only cyberspace, after all.
Peace,
Scott
I tend to agree, with reservations

Sure, there is an element of bragging to virtually all of the posts I've seen (and I'm not excluding my own in that opinion) , but none that I've seen lately that seem to be [i]only [/i]bragging.
The comment about seeing someone that one knows is a non-pro is pertinent, but relating a story about someone representing themselves as such and then discovering the truth is also completely appropriate, in my opinion.
[QUOTE=SubCmdr;1554649]"I disagree strongly with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Voltaire.[/QUOTE]While I also agree with that sentiment, I don't think he was calling for any kind of censorship, except for the voluntary, self-imposed variety. He was just stating his preferences for what he wanted to see on this particular section of the site.
[QUOTE=HollywoodGuy;1555147]And I have posted some tricks of the trade in my posts so far and will continue to do so. All feedback is welcome. Love this place.[/QUOTE]HG, I've been watching some of the LA non-pro threads on which you post for a couple of months, and while the focus there, in my opinion, is somewhat different from the one here, I for one don't view some of those experiences as out of line here. Obviously, my opinion is coloured by my own experience, but even though I understand the term "sugar baby" to indicate a longer term relationship than some of the posters on those threads do, I recognize that others might not see eye to eye with me on that score, and there's nothing wrong with that. If one craves variety, I don't see any problem with calling that person a "sugar daddy" even if the longest he's ever seen someone is a month. LOL. As well, is a one-time encounter an example of a sugar baby? Maybe not [i]after [/i]the fact, but if one is pursuing a longer term thing, an examination of the shorter ones can be instructive.
I'm not sure where on the longevity spectrum my three year relationship falls, but I suspect it's one of the longer ones, at least as experienced by those I've seen posting here, but the reality is that it will end at some point, for any of a gajillion reasons pertaining to either of us, and at that point, I'm likely to be looking for another SB. Pretty much all examples of attempts at finding new SBs, successes and failures, interest me.
[QUOTE=F Scott;1555287]Lastly, she says she has a gift for me, nothing major nor particularly expensive, (though I worry about what she considers "not particularly expensive") which puts me in a little bit of a quandry, and so I seek the Collected Wisdom. Do I wait and see what it is, then reciprocate the next time we are together, or get her something as well, and run the risk of showing up with something below her pay grade?[/QUOTE]
Gifts can be touchy. Personally, I would wait and see what she gives you. If she seems put out that you didn't bring anything, which she might, given that she [i]told [/i]you she was bringing something, then your reason (not excuse) is that you've been wracking your brain for something appropriate, but couldn't think of anything, and that you'd hoped for inspiration during your meet-up.

I learn something new every day
[QUOTE=SubCmdr; 1556121]Now not everyone can or wants to roll like the Cmdr rolls. And it's all good. But if this is fly fishing please consider this one of my knot tying techniques that has worked for me.
SubCmdr out[/QUOTE]Commander,
I Laughed Out Loud when I read this! Right on, my brother, and I will be sure to add it to my tackle box! Isn't this a great world we have chosen? Plus, I kinda love coral pink toenails myself.
Permission to leave the bridge,
Scott
Greetings from The Sunshine State
Have to stop in and say thanks to the regulars that contribute here. I have been playing the sugar game for about a year and a half. I keep adjusting my strategies based on methods other posters have used with success. The knowledge that is shared here is priceless. In the past two months I have screened 50+ real email responses from M4W sections of Craigs List. I have had 4 meet and greets. Then finally I hit pay dirt this week, having spent 3 hours in a hotel with an absolutely stunning 21 yo, blonde, blue-eyed coed. Immediately following our first M&G. This was my first sugar experience since August of 2011. I do partake in well reviewed Back page girls, and have a few numbers of girls from the street that are good for a cheap quick fix.
However, I must admit that I am enamored at the idea of finding the true SB, of being her first SD. This for me is what makes the amount of work we must put in worthwhile. It's also the reason I am extremely picky of who I choose to play with. Keep up the good work guys.
