Better start higher and erode over time.
[QUOTE=JustLonely;3749968]Some new territory for me as I never had any luck with the SA gals who have been on that site for over 2 years. But I did contact one recently that has now come to the third date with discussed plans for the first trip to the FC after dinner at her place. She wasn't shy about her telling her boundaries in the bedroom and even said I should "gift" her whatever amount I thought was appropriate. Well, she has practical on her expectations and I am not sure my usual gift of $$ will keep her happy. I could do $$$ but I don't want to spend but so much over the long term. Any thoughts on women who are "practical" in their expectations?[/QUOTE]If you want to see her repeatedly, I'd go $300 - especially since she is hosting. OVer time, you can scale it back as she learns to enjoy your company as much as your schlonging. Starting too low risks insulting them.
Or there is the time trade off where you keep the allowance but start staying later / overnight and banging her more per visit.
Gifting, GPS, and SB expectations
A common complaint of SBs is that they see a guy once (a trip to the FC) then he's gone, never to be heard from again. It never occurs to them that most of them are nothing special and the guy simply did not see the value in seeing them again. This goes double and triple for the guys with bigger budgets. When a guy starts offering 400 or even 500 for an evening he's going to have a world of choices and he's going to be like a starving kid in a candy store, sampling every single candy on the shelves. Even an average guy with that kind of budget will be able to get over 95% of the girls on SA. What's stopping him from moving on to the next one on the list every time?
I think that by creating high expectations many girls are setting themselves up for disappointment and of course then go on to blame the men on the site (remember, no matter what it's never the girl's fault) for the pump and dump they get. Some understand but most don't, if they had more realistic expectations the guy would keep coming back and they would have an actual long term thing going that they could count on. Instead girls aim for the moon and get the once-in-a-long-while pump and dump. Silly girls.
