The Older I Got;

I just see providers that I'm comfortable with. In my younger days I saw whatever provider that interested me. But now I see a few providers I trust.

10-12 meetings per year.

Because I chose BOTH. I have 1 regular, 1 semi-regular and in between I audition new talents or whoever intrigues me.

but continuing to seek out new experiences is also a worthwhile pursuit.  

As with most things in life, it is about finding the right balance.

Touched on this in an earlier post.

and I've never gotten bored with those special woman who make it sooo fuckin good. When I started my hobbying at 50+, variety was a wonderful thing. I was lucky in that most of my experiences were very satisfying. And yes, I did repeat in between seeing a lot of new and different gals.  

Then I met her. About 100 visits later, I met someone better suited for my needs, but still saw a few new gals here and there. But alas,  she stopped traveling east and I was shattered  OK, I missed her but not shattered. And now I've found my main squeeze. Couldn't be happier. Ok I could ... naaah, couldn't ...lol.

Still see some bucket list gals here and there but my days of voracious exploring have dwindling as has my funding. But I  
am looking for an Angel Investor. Not expecting much tho...😉

It helps that she appears to feel the same towards me. Our sessions over the last 3+ years have always been good, and grew better over time, but have been off the charts lately.  

I still dabble in someone new, just because it's what guys do.

seeing regulars, but I still see a new girl each week for one hour.  This keeps things real that its all just a fantasy, and allows me to keep auditioning girls to replace a regular when a spot in my rotation opens up.  When you're just seeing one or two girls for an extended period of months, the line between fantasy and reality can become blurred.  Seeing new girls keeps everything in perspective.

...you really can have both. Your question isn't really about quality as much as it's about comfort and predictability. It appears you're tired of shopping and want more of a known and deeper connection.  

It really shouldn't matter what the rest of us think. You are free to play the way you like, which I do agree changes as we learn more about ourselves on our journey here. There is no one way of playing... that's the beauty of this playground... we are free to pursue what interests us, regardless of what others are doing.

I find there are a variety of high-quality providers.

And quantity for the sake of quantity has never made much sense to me, whereas quality for the sake of quality has always seemed an extremely sensible approach to everything, be it food, cars, clothing, or sex partners.

All for Quality

I've pretty much settled into my top 4 or 5 favorites on a regular basis.  Still open to meeting new ladies but more selective than I used to be.

Quality over quantity for sure.  

Is it just me or is it hard to find quality in the $500 and under range?  Do I need deeper pockets to find quality?  Quality = good attitude, willing to please, sexually attractive, great smile, and shows interest.  I'm still looking for an ATF, granted I only see a 4 or 5 providers in a year.
