Let's have a serious discussion of protecting ourselves in the bowl!
Let's all have a serious open discussion about protecting ourselves. Lets be real, with the digital footprints these days, you can be found. Unless your James Bond, any computer savvy or semi creative minded girl can track you down. And especially if you've been at this game for a while, you're out there.
Also, we have been hearing more and more about fake allegations threats and even allegations made. Not just the outright scammers, extortionists and blackmailers. So first let me start by saying, any man on here or otherwise who sexually assaults, rapes, or even manipulates a girl into sex who doesn't want it, can go burn in the pits of hell. Fuck you if that is your game. I am talking about the nice guy, just trying to relive some youth and he dates some of these girls and everything is fully fun and consensual going both ways and then she later decided she is going to play games. Or her boyfriend finds out that she didn't tell you about and demands she say it was assault, rape, etc. This shit really happens. And the thing most of you do not understand, is the game is 10000% and "he said, she said" if she decides to go that route.
So what do we SD do to protect ourselves? Hidden video cameras? That too can get you in trouble, even criminally. Audio record your adventures? Some legal issues there potentially as well depending on the state your in. So what the hell do you do? What do you do if you run into a girl who was "Screaming fuck" me daddy as she cums, loves the sex with you, asks for more and then later has guilt for cheating on her boyfriend, or husband? You are alone with these girls to be playing and you really don't fully know any of them.
The above are real aspects of potential disasters of dating in the bowl most of you overlook. And by the time you have to face one these issues, you are behind in protecting yourself. If you ever face one these issues, it will rock your world to the core! All for what? Doing what men have done since the beginning of time. Wanting sex with a nice woman.
Another thing, check ID's. Check their ID's upside down and inside out if you even think she's under like 25. Check it and check that it all backs up. Won't matter one bit if you met her at a bar smoking, drinking and talking about the Yankees, looking 22 and she is under age. You are fucked! There is no defense. And many can have fake I'd's as well. So go beyond just checking the I'd. Get her name, find out where she went to school, where she's worked etc and this way you know she is of proper age. Age of consent is often 16 in many states, but first of all, you are a fucking creep if you're trying to shag a 16 year old, legal or not and when there is money and texting and sexting involved, she is still a minor. You should not be trying to see any girl under say 19.
Ask her about her sexual experience. Your days of hunting virgins should be over. You should want her to be sexually experienced. Less chance for issues. You should want her to be a girl who desires sex, because she's had it before and enjoyed it.
So looking to startup some serious conversations here on protecting ourselves from scammers, extortionists, blackmailers etc, because my brothers they are out there! So lets say you get one. She finds out who you are, you have an SO, a high profile job, etc and she threaten to expose you. How do you handle it? You have a threat of her making a false allegation with maybe subtle suggestions of extortion. How do you handle it? I think you handle it right out of the gate, the moment you meet her. By preparing. Also, do not ever give in to threats. I say keep them talking, find out who they are, save all messages and then let them know you will go to the police if they say another thing.
Too much for restrictions
I was just chatting with a lady on SA. She wanted 500 per meet with no kissing on the mouth. I passed and said if I'd known about the no kissing on the mouth it would've saved some time. She said it was "super personal". You know what else is super personal?? $500 plus restrictions! Hell, I wasn't going to pay that much anyway.
Probably about reporting profiles
[QUOTE=Zcochran00;4003092]Interesting. Blocks now seem to be permanent. Clicking the "Block" button pops up a dialog warning it can't be reversed and asking if you want to hide instead. There used to be a list of blocked members under the Settings menu, but that seems to have disappeared. Wonder why that changed?[/QUOTE]So when you report a profile it automatically blocks the profile for you. Since you used to be able to undo your blocks, you could check and see if the site did anything about your complaint and deleted that profile, which they used to do at least sometimes. Now, they absolutely never delete profiles even for the fakes and scammers and online only's, no matter how many people report them, which is something many have been complaining to them about.
I suspect this change is so that once you report a profile and they block it for you, you can't check to see if they did anything about it. They obviously won't, but problem solved from their end because now you can't find out. Just another way in which the site is degrading and why it's been overrun with scammers, fake profiles and girls seeking "online only" (whatever the hell that is and whatever losers enjoy that).
Having a grand time and nobody to share it with.
Now I know that there's a lot of SD's here that are focused on and looking to maximize time in the FC, often with a variety of SB's. With my first LTR SB, things were definitely oriented towards FC time, both quality and quantity. That morphed into something a little too real, and not entirely in a good way.
Different life situation now, and I find myself buying into the notion that it can be "the whole package". Certainly my current SB is in that category. Since we can spend evenings and overnights, we spend a lot of time just enjoying each other's company, and when planning dates that is the main focus. My place? Her place? Eat out? Cook for each other? Binge watch or take in a movie? While we usually cuddle and tease a bit, sex doesn't happen every date. And frankly, just like an IRL relationship, we're still working on getting on each other's wavelength when it does happen. And my past self would be out the door by now given the latter, but we're going into our third month and I'm willing to work on that given everything else is going so well.
I've had just such a great experience so far, it's a little frustrating that the social stigma is such that I basically have to keep this all to myself. No drinking buddy to share how she is pretty but in an unglamorous way, which makes her all the more attractive. How, in contrast, her body is a work of art. Sharing how I had almost a schoolboy crush on her for the first few weeks. How right it felt when it clicked, right down to the paint colors she used in her apartment. How effortless conversations are. How it gets better every time we are together, and we open up to each other a little more. How exciting it is that we have our first weekend trip together soon. How, despite all this NRE ("New Relationship Energy") I am fully aware that this is not an IRL relationship, and am careful to keep some emotional distance.
So am I the only one with this problem? There is, of course, this forum as an outlet. But there's the oversharing problem (which I'm doing a little bit in this post) that limits how much can be said in confidence.
Who do you turn to when your SB just rocks your world and all you want to do is share the experience with someone?
An odd dynamic to be sure
[QUOTE=Madaboutmax;4011379]I've had a great experience in the Sugar World. I've enjoyed a great variety of beautiful young women and a few long term "real life relationships" with women half my age.
I've found the more variety I've had the more variety I've craved. Somehow, that's made me more of a lifetime partner candidate for some. I've found that as a successful, in shape, reasonably attractive, middle aged man, not desperately seeking a partner and maybe overly confident because of my bowl success I am now in hi demand. I've had 6 women, who are half my age, discuss wanting marriage and children with me.
Maybe it is an indictment of younger men today, but more likely plays to a need many women have to be talen care of by a dominant type a personality male.
I'm much more successful with women now that I'm in my 50's than I was in my 20's.[/QUOTE]Totally same deal here with my 20-something past vs my 50-something present. Being personable and in shape goes a long way. I'm sure many 20-something SB's have this really negative mental image of a 50-something dude (remember how impossibly old that seemed to us), and blowing that stereotype to bits certainly doesn't hurt.
While I've not been a dance-card-always-full SD, I've accumulated enough experience that I can see where that makes me more attractive. Being able to confidently and casually talk about previous experiences with POTS definitely has an effect on how they see you.
For now I'm tired of the chase, so holding onto this catch and experiencing her from a LTR angle is pretty appealing. I know that it will inevitably end, and am prepared for it to be sooner than later, because you never know what curveball will come your way (or for that matter, hers). Maybe then I'll try shifting gears a bit, as my life situation and personal needs will likely have evolved.
But for now, I'm good.
