I would NEVER fly in an unknown POT SB, I don't care if she is a 10, (pictures and POT SB's do lie afterall)  

Having a few bucks and game goes a lot further that having a lot of money and ZERO social skills.

Now I did have an SB that I used to fly in once or twice a month from Atlanta when I lived in Oklahoma, but this was well before my SA days, and she was someone more like an FWB than an SB. She'd spend the better part of a week with me and I would give her around a thousand bucks each time to offset her lost worktime and help her out with some bills. I used skymiles to book her flights and those points cost me next to nothing.  

I really can't relate to flying in some woman I have never met, and then giving her thousands of dollars a day to be with me. Even if the money meant nothing to me, I still can't see myself doing so.

Sorry, I'm dense.

I continue to get messages from out of state SBs who say they want to meet me.  When I tell them I think the distance between us makes it impractical they often say they wouldn't mind traveling for the right man.  I never take them up on it, A because it's a lost cause if you don't like her and B she may really be looking for a husband.  The ony time I was really tempted was a very good looking young woman from about 5 states away who said all she would expect from me was her airfare paid.  She'd pay her own hotel and she did not expect any gift$$.  Seemed like too good to be true and it was.  She ghosted before we made plans.  

OTOH I have met and played with out of state SBs when I've traveled to their area.  Honestly their attitude and behavior was much more like a regular TER pro.  But they were fun dates.

But just across the border about 90 minutes away. So it's not much of a pain now but could become one in the near future once familiarity sets in. I will cross that bridge when I get there. Why worry about it now？
