Back to the can't-share-the-joy problem
[QUOTE=Walruscl;4074608]Yes, loving the FWB + dash of romance dynamic with my SB. Just had a romantic pre-Christmas date: fondue in front of a roaring fireplace, champagne, Christmas music in the background, and some carefully-chosen gifts for her under the tree. Followed by a Christmas movie then an overnight for cuddles / playtime, with a leisurely morning before seeing her off until next week's date.[/QUOTE]I did an unusual move and used my DSLR to get a picture of my SB that night. We were sitting on the floor using the coffee table to eat so that we could be next to the fireplace. So my view during dinner was of her 3' away, warmly side-lit by the fire, with the Christmas tree behind her as a perfect framing / backdrop. Took a couple of tries in LightRoom to balance the warmth of the firelight versus making her skin tone look accurate / flattering, but I ended up with a really nice memento. She was very appreciative when I texted her the results.
So now here I am again, with a gorgeous picture that I can't show anyone. Even though I trust some of the senior members here, I simply won't break my rule of not putting any SB pics out electronically. Even these past few posts were a bit of oversharing, but it was quite the high so it was difficult to resist.
Anyway, a bit of a rhetorical post, but it was on my mind.
Never miss an opportunity
To curry favor w / a POT. Be sure to send a 'Christmas card' to any girl you've got any interest in or had a good time with. You can dig up Christmas scenes that are animated gifs on the web, they go fine via text.
Yeah, I'm slowing picking up on this
[QUOTE=JustLonely;4079262]Most of the local ones that favorite me have NOT read my profile. Most are UTR or escorts. Some are brand new and just click on those hearts for fun I think. I can't remember ever having one that favorited me ever lead to a M&G. I have seen a few that I have messaged and we have started a conversation that later favorite me. I assume that is because they have a lot of messages and need a way to track the ones they like the most.
I rarely favorite anyone as I prefer to just go ahead and message them. My best luck in December has been with women who have age range up to 60 listed as I am showing 57 on my current profile. I can pass for younger than that as I stay in shape and barely have any gray in my blonde hair. No public pic and the private one is long distance. They only get closeup if we are texting and headed to a meet up.[/QUOTE]I'm about to flake / blow-off a M&G that only got to the point of semi-arranged (that I only had about 10% of her focus was one clue, hence "semi- The bigger clue and the commonality is that neither POT wanted access to my private photos, which have more informative face pics. So they want to meet without actually seeing me (my public one has my face obscured due to the composition of the shot)? Big red flag, one that's about to be a big filter for me.
It is also about risk taking
[QUOTE=Walruscl;4080008]I'd say it's just a matter of brain development plus life experience. The executive function matures around 22-24, and then at that point the older SB's are gaining more life experience, and develop a different perspective. The 18-22's are still more impulsive, have very short time horizons, limited risk assessment, etc. So when you get a good one in the younger crowd, they are more likely to take your lead without applying a lot of analytical skills to the equation. Benefits / negatives to both dynamics, all depends on what you're looking for.[/QUOTE]Usually the younger ones are willing to take on more risk with the expectation a payday. There was a recent study on teenage brain development that found teenagers are willing to take more risks than any other age group. The older ones have more to protect in their lives so they will be willing to take smaller risks.
Then you need to start figuring out how to manage this risk aversion so they get comfy with you, or identify the 'loco' ones who did not lose their ability to take risk.
Not really looking for an SB in this case.
[QUOTE=JZLizard;4081480]Many good times to be found on civy sites, depending on how much time you have to put in it. It can also be a bit risky for a married man unless you find one that's okay with a traveling daddy, since a lot of civy finds tend to assume your local. The SA crowd by nature seems to be more location-agnostic. I've gotten some of my best pussy from civy sites, but the type of SD that wants to avoid involvement / emotional commitment at all costs (that's me) is going to find some issues there, because the SBs you find tend to be more relationship-minded, and in general more clingy. At least that was my experience.[/QUOTE]I don't have the problem of an SO to worry about, and in this specific case (and in general on civvie sites, if I can get my game up sufficiently well) I'm not looking for an SB. Already got one of those, don't feel like forking out even more $.
The relationship-mindedness problem in this specific instance is lessened by the fact that this is a married polyamorous woman, so unlikely she's going to get clingy. She's talking a really good game on the dating site's messaging, but I'm at a loss at how to move beyond talk-is-cheap. Don't get me wrong, the sexting is fun (no pics, just free-association playing out of dom / sub scenarios), and I'm willing to be patient. But I'm having trouble differentiating between two scenarios. One, someone who just isn't sure what they really want yet. Two, someone who's getting off on the sexting alone and keeps it more intense by not letting on that it's her end game rather than the path to a next step.
You people live in another sub reality
Educate yourself about this ladies and watch what they think of men and how you are being use because you are being use or you willing to be go to youtube type sugardady tecnics or tips".
Don't be Bitter but Educate Yourself
I don't assume all women in the bowl are scammers, rinsers, have GPS or are Pros but I know many of them are. I've learned how to filter them out. That education was gained thru experience and some expensive mistakes. Reading this forum has helped me shorten that education process. If I get taken now, I blame myself for not recognizing the Red flags.
Any girl that talks about "knowing my worth" is an immediate red flag for me.
