Done with SA should I try SD4 ME?
My 30 days with SA is over and I could not get a single decent SB. They started at $300 per date and my max was $150 may be 200 occasionally with that gem!
Will I have any better luck on SD4 ME? Or should I just save my $30.
2-3 percent of net monthly income?
JL. Great post.
Out of curiosity and for benchmark information, how do you define net monthly income? For example do you define it as after taxes, deductions for 401 k, retirement, health plan premiuims and flexible spending accounts?
Alternatively do you define net monthly income in the context of a small business owner who would have to account for business expenses before calculating a monthly or annual salary?
In the former context, 2-3 % of net monthly income (after taxes, and deductions assuming one is in the 39% tax bracket) would mean, by my rough math, that the SD should be pulling in an annual salary upwards of $200 k +.
In the latter context, taxes and deductions wouldn't be figured into the net monthly income and so it could make a big difference.
This of course assumes dating costs (inclusive of allowance, meals, trips, etc) of around $200-$300 per date.
For the younger fellahs out there who are considering this lifestyle, the difference in the benchmark that you might be proposing could be eyeopening.
[QUOTE=JeezLizard;2380919]Smellyfish: when I was still under 40, I had not even considered the SD scene yet, but what I did find was that the big 40 is right around the cutoff age for many for the bar scene, perhaps largely depending on genetics. At least if you're looking for 20 year olds. If you're 40 and live somewhere with a vibrant 30+ scene, then enjoy fucking the 30+ single moms, its some of the best pussy on the planet.
But as far as being 40+ in the bar scene, it limits where you can have success.
So, I did advise one guy here to learn to navigate the bar scene before going for SBs. I think he was in his mid 20's though? Yes absolutely at that age. He should be developing his game, because when he gets older the amount of pussy he gets on the SB scene and how much he pays for it will also be affected by how much game he has acquired along the way, and because practice makes perfect it helps to start as early as possible.
I encouraged him to try not only bars, but the amazing amount of online options -- match, tinder, god knows what the mobile hookup app of the day is (I don't even keep up any more). It's even better now than it was at my online-dating peak. Girls in their 20's have grown-up watching porn, they know what to do and have a completely different attitude toward casual sex compared to 20-30 years ago. These are still options for SDs to explore too, they just have to understand that potential SBs on match are much different than pots you meet on an SD site. You can only spot them by their age preference, and you have to approach them differently.
A general guideline is that if a cost of a single date (that results in a fuck) exceeds 2-3 percent of our NET monthly income, it's likely a bad idea financially (assuming a reasonable number of dates per month), so most guys straight out of college wouldn't be able to afford an ongoing SB. This works against them, because true SBs already know this -- they can sense them coming miles away.
Most of the true SBs on SD sites are there because they have genuine fuck-lust for older men in addition to the lifestyle upgrade, not just the allowance. [/QUOTE]
The SB stand-up may have ended my Bowl career
[QUOTE=IluvSmellyFish;2380399]My own practice. I always only book last minute using a hotel app after I have confirmed FC trip plans with a trusted previously tested SB or directly after closing the deal with a pot who agrees to the trip while we are in person together.
It is also why, now that I have a rotation of trusted babies, I have been booking m&gs with pots in conjunction with FC trips with trusted babies.
My rationale, even if I get a great room at a crazy good rate, it is worthless without a trip to the FC. On the other hand, if you're out with a baby or a pot, and you're headed to the FC, you can still find a decent hotel deal with a phone app. Worst case scenario is that you book at a lower end hotel.
I personally have never been in a situation where a baby backs out if a FC trip after agreeing to it while you're on a date with her.
Also as a heads up, the bowl is jumping in my particular region of the mid Atlantic.
Happy hunting.[/QUOTE]So like clockwork she cancelled. This was the first SB that actually had me at the bank pulling out a couple of grand. I wonder if I told he I have her monthly allowance in cash would have changed the outcome. It's funny in retrospect. After getting the cancellation I'm depressed, sitting in my Executive suite with $100 bills in hand.
This depression ended when I set up a quick M&G. Probably the fastest M&G ever. I swear this girl came to my lobby in 30 minutes. A cool date and will probably go to FC. It did get me thinking. I've been on SA for about two months now and sadly I'm certain I've over spent. I paid no sugar, but in terms of M&G's I'd say $3-3. 5 K. Probably got some form of action from 6-8 SBs, mostly BJs. Was the action worth it? I don't know. It has been a huge stress relief and better than a therapist. The rejection from the 10/10 SB was probably the lowest point. I think I'm done for now. I'm mid 30's, in good shape and I can normally pick up girls with no issues. This was a good break from the norm.
