OK...not really a newbie but not real a real frequent "consumer"...probably have seen about 20 girls total over the past 4 years. But I have an idea that I want some input on, so airing it out on the newbie board.
I now have an ATF and have met up with her outside of the hobby. She is hot and she is also very sweet.  
I like the idea of rather than a straight up provider type relationship that I can have the mindset of...just helping a young girl out through some tough times. Now I have a little money to play around with buy an not what you would consider wealthy, so I am not in a position to put a girl up in an apt and whatever totally on my own dime. But what I *could* do is be a part of a "timeshare" What if there were 5 or 6 guys in similar situations to mine. Take the girl out of regular "circulation" and each of us contribute somewhat to her situation and get regular favors.
Love to hear if this is actually done and if so how did it work. Also prepared for some people to give me reasons why its a really bad idea.

Sugar baby arrangements can be exclusive, but they don't have to be. There are definitely providers who aim to foster a small circle of regulars and then they "retire" or go under the radar once they've established their list, only to resurface when a space becomes available.  

Let the gal make those arrangements.

Many gals have discounted rates if you agree to see her so many hours a month.

Let her do the juggling.

You *are* part of a timeshare.  Buy as much as you like.  Heck, I bet if you asked her she'd tell you what 20% of her weekly is and you could buy it...

Can you enlighten us as to why this idea is so bad? Presumably, you weren't aware of these problems when you tried it.

I guess the "up-side" for the girl in my idea is that she gets a bit higher comfort level with the few guys she keeps in her "circle". Maybe good for a girl who really doesn't have the mindset to be a real "professional" but has some comfort level with the idea of trading sexual favors for $$.  
I have thought of PM'ing some of the guys who have reviewed her on here to see if there is any interest from them in exploring this idea. Based on what is written about her here, she is providing good experiences consistently.  

But once I did, I feel silly about that and wouldn't ever go back.

And she clearly does have the mindset to be a professional- exhibit a: she is one.  A good one it sounds like.

I guess I wasn't clear on one point. She lives in the town I live in, but is traveling 60 miles to a different town to work for an agency. It's a no brainer for me to try to find a way to meet her here rather than both of us travel to the next city. So trying to find some business for her in our city so she doesn't have to travel.  
No it's really not about control or doing it on the cheap though I can see from the previous discussion where you might have come to that conclusion :-

Why haven't you asked her if she'll get a room and see you in your town? Either she prefers not to play in her own backyard, or she'll be thrilled not to have to travel for an appointment. No need to play pimp by procuring a group of regulars for her.

Write her a good review if you haven't yet and recommend her when you can
