Cindy, you don't have to be sarcastic, just because you percieve my comments not favorable to some of the ladies present on TER. One of the first things I pointed out is that this is a matter of taste. A 40-ish woman may look hot to a 65 y/o guy, but not to me. It's just natural. Your points are well taken, though. You are rigth close to 90%, but then there is another 10%, and that's what I'm talking about.
First, majority of the guys just want to get laid. That's why the combination of looks, age and donation are a key. Those who are looking for more than that better consider a decent relationship that may be more fulfilling.
Second, your comments about the clubs are generic, and do apply to many cases, but fortunately not all. I am talking from personal experience, and it is far from disapointing. Over the years, I've met a dozen of ladies in the clubs, great looking young girls, and they do look great (I don't drink) unlike majority of women I've seen advertised on TER. They look the same in the club as they do in the light af a bedroom. Been there, done that, not talking out of my a**. They do cost more, and are harder to get, but if you know what you're doing most of the time they're well worth the money spent. With some of them I even went further and became friends. Great people. Not all of them are hustlers, but they have to make a living like anybody else and I forgive them for some of the behavior which invites stereotypes. In this town it is a cut-throat mentality and I don't blame girls for doing the things some of them do.
Finally, CL and similar boards are a kind of a sex K-Mart and it's so obvious, just by looking at the contents of the posts. I have to tell you and the other distiniguished colleaguess that you can easily find a couple of very decent and good looking girls there if you're smart enough and know how to interpret those ads with, of course, some luck. Out of quantity comes quality. Just look at the number of posts there, especially over the weekend.
As far as why I spend SOME time (not "much" as you claim) on TER, CL, CityVibe etc., the answer is simple - I'm a curious guy, I like the variety, and I like loads of information, in order to stay on top (no pun intended). Clubs are my first love, and I always had the best "catches" there. Speaking of which, in about an hour or two it'll be just the right time of the night for a little visit to one of my favs.
Love,
Max
