I started in this so-called hobby a few years ago.  Pretty much your typical hobbyist just looking to get in, get off, and get out while enjoying the wide variety of quality providers this realm has to offer.

SA certainly has it's appeal, with the possibility of getting more time for less money.  However, there is a cost to that as well.  I haven't tried it yet, but from following discussions about it, I have gleaned that a lot more work goes into it.  It's not as easy as sending an escort your references and making a date.  Also, more of the girls aren't going to have an "incall" location, so if you can't bring them home, you are looking at paying for hotels.

I have...almost exclusively.

so along those same line, are you going to the upcoming SA meet-n-greet in NYC?  that's not what they are calling it, but that's the idea.  you can pay the fee, and then wear a mask (seriously)  but there will be cameras, they freely disclose that fact.  too dicey for me.

I definitely think the advantages are there for both sides.  Depending on the sort of arrangement and the monetary "allowance" a girl is expecting it can definitely be less expensive for the gentleman and have more predictability for the woman involved.

Not a chance...  I can't believe they actually got some guys to talk to them, after they had had several drinks no doubt...  No real need either as I have more than I can juggle already.  

an escort is better if you just want sex!

there are some many different types of arrangements. I would simply refer you to the multiple discussions on this topic on the RO board. Or better yet, explore for yourself. If you haven't, you're missing out. If you have and just ended up with a girlfriend, try a different approach.

Granted, I typically only book an hour with escorts given the rates.  I get in, get my 2 shots on goal, hour is nearly up, escort gives you that look and ask if you want I take a shower before you go.  With SBs, the meter isn't running, there is no clock, and I get all the O's in the time that I have available I play...  In short, I am having more sex in 2-3 hours with an SB than I can with an escort for 1 hour (cost being relatively comparable)..

eing sarcasyic I'm ver serious. What's her gain?  

She gets sexual satisfaction, some TLC, and some Benjamins.

then sure, of course it's a better deal.

they're college students, single moms with low paying jobs, young professionals who want to be able to afford more of what the city has to offer. They don't want to advertise or have to have sex with any random guy who walks in the door. They usually want to have coffee and see if there's some chemistry. If so, they're happy having mutually satisfactory sex on a semi-regular basis, but no strings attached of course, in exchange for some help with the bills. In the right situation, the sex is much, much more intimate than anything I've experienced with a provider.

To escort but don't have the business tenacity for it. Just my 2 cents.

As others have said, many of the women on SA are just looking for a little extra $$$ to improve their lifestyle and are happy to go out on a date with a guy they find attractive and would maybe even sleep with anyway for an extra allowance.  The benefit to both parties is the whole experience feels much more natural, like a real date.   Most of these women, at least the non pros, are not capable of faking it.   Things flow much more naturally unlike the typical experience with escorts.  And when you really click, and their is real chemistry, you truly 'forget it is a service' and the sex is far better.

I have gone on dates where sex didn't happen, either because I wast interested, or didn't have the time.  I also didn't spend any money other than maybe drinks or maybe dinner as is typical of the first date with a prospective SB...

What this site and these girls (and guys) show is that there's a continuum of relationships where money and sex commingle. At one extreme is the trophy wife (or husband), at the other extreme, the escort, and in between, a whole lot of different types of arrangements.
As long as everyone's happy, that's all that matters.

And just like anything else...this is a figment of 'your' imagination I'm afraid.  

Good vocabulary:  commingle and continuum!  

if you're only after is sex. The point was that SB "dating" can actually provide more of that.
To put it in your own words, the whole point of the SD/SB relationship is exactly that it's not about the "blow by blow", "minute by minute". With a provider it is unfortunately about "minute by minute" because, even if she's not a clock-watcher, when your time's up, you're outta there. With the SB, I check out the clock and, if I feel like staying a little longer, I just pour two more glasses of vino

Happening then so be it.  
I can see how it appeals to both parties and I see how the shall we say, "traditional" exchange is apealing to the client with little time to go on "dates" and doesn't want to be seen in public and wants what he wants.  
So sure, whichever is more suited to your needs. It seems there would be allot of ambiguity with the  sugar dating.  

which many ladies of this world aren't...then it's not 'minute by minute'. Sorry that's a contradiction if you ask me.  

lots of room for ambiguity. In that sense, it can be more risky than dating escorts, which makes it key to carefully pick the right SB and be very clear from the outset.

Angry. No. Passionate about threads that make no sense...yes. I am Italian afterall lol.  

I still see some of my favorites ladies here at least once a week (got a date with a smoking hot escort later this week). In some cases, I have dates with escorts set weeks out in advance. Finding FREE GOOD (you forgot that critical part) PUSSY is too much time and energy for me. I'm very happy between the escorts and SB's, thank you very much. Sometimes you want a professional, sometimes you want an amateur; variety is the spice of life.
Speaking of smoking hot, please let us know the next time you're in NYC (love the pics).
Don't be so angry babe. It's all good.

it is all good. (what pics btw)

ever get into the city?

guess this is a different Stevie Styles, huh?

They think I'm a big meanie and I don't have one sexy bone in me bod

Not even close.

Just finished reading this post and was wondering what sites are reliable or the best way/place to go about looking for an arrangement like this with a woman.  I have seen several dating sites that seem geared to this type of "hookup," but I get the sense that this isn't what is being discussed here.... not sure.  

Not exactly LOL...

Thanks vino

Let alone, your crazy rants...  Hence the whole reason for the the thread...  I see that despite your new name, you haven't changed one bit.  Still jaded and angry.  Struggling to get by in this realm..  Funny you comment on my age, when according to your own profile (which I doubt isn't anywhere near accurate), we are in the same age bracket, lol...

One can only hope you find peace in all worlds for yourself.... first. No matter which one you favor or partake in. This goes for all gentlemen like you here, for there are more than most could imagine. I  certainly hope you find whatever it is you are 'truly' searching for. Maybe stop, take a few moments to ask yourself just what that 'really' is for 'you'...before moving forward.  

Just keep telling yourself that as you fall asleep.
Please note, even when I agree with you (it does happen rarely) you are a douche nozzle.

I bet your site is just blowing up with guys wanting to spend time with the biggest BSC hooker to work this site.
HINT: please get back on those meds. Those who know you know you need them.
