I agree. This just smacks of GPS.
No judgment, but I have never paid, not even once, for m&g, even in the face of last-minute requests for sitter or gas money. I'm fully aware that this may have cost me some great opportunities but here's why I never do it.
I travel heavily. Roughly, I travel every week and 2/3 of my trips are to three cities and the rest are to one-off cities. I see SBs in multiple cities and only repeat with a few. I don't sugar at home. I'm usually in their city for 2-4 days at a time, so I typically have only a short time to close the deal with someone new. I'm simply unwilling to waste one of my time slots "getting to know" unless I know that time slot has a strong likelihood of me ending up balls deep in some PYT. If some chick says "no sex on the first date" and I think she means it, I'm out.
Therefore I need to make sure the first date is one where I can score. I gain that certainty by taking a pretty direct approach. Via text (not on the site), I say something like "My ideal first date is [blah blah] and, if we're both enthusiastic after [blah blah], we head back to [my upscale hotel] for adult fun and allowance."
This is where they have the chance to tell me that I've misjudged them. It almost never happens. They almost always roll right along into a discussion of allowance, what they like, what I like, etc. I'm also up front that I'm traveling and not local.
If a chick asks me anything about ppm on the site, I ask to kindly switch to text to discuss details. I've broken that rule a handful of times, thinking with the small head, but it hasn't gotten me scolded or banned. If she won't move to text when I ask, I drop her.
Presently I have five who I see with regularity. I doubt I can maintain it, since two are making noises about wanting more frequency (and total allowance). So I'll soon be having more "first dates" than I like, but I know I'll always be able to learn how to adapt to that from the gentlemen here.
Bottom line: My allowance with a new chick goes for pussy on the first date, period.
