A few flowers and an occasional brunch is a small price for a happy SB. Still better than a GPS pro (or a wife).
With my recent #1 SB moving away for a career opportunity, I'm back in the "game". It's been over a year, and now back on SA. Looks like the landscape has changed. From my interactions via email/texting and meet & greets, appears that many SB's want the cash, trips, presents, dinners, concerts, purses and more. A change from 2 to 3 years ago when it was mostly PPM and everything else was a bonus. Met a potential on Friday evening and had her behind closed doors on Sunday AM. She is a great romp, but has some outrageous requests: Birkin bag...No!, Send me flowers to work...No!, Seafood Brunch...No!
We are planning to get tacos and margarita's at a great hole-in-the wall; and we do have great convo's and share my bourbon's and scoth's...so it's not all sex...just mostly.
So, what is the word on the street? Are the SB's expecting a fairy-tale?
but my experience is that they are a small minority and most of them are new to the lifestyle. A lot of them are just like new hookers who think they are going to get rich AND have guys waiting on them hand and foot. After a few days/weeks they start becoming more realistic.
My advice, don't say "NO", just say "we'll see" just like you tell the civvie girl who keeps hoping you will take her to Paris to go shopping.
I agree with you, it doesn't have to be "all sex" just "mostly" works fine for me too. I also agree, no fancy purses, no sending flowers to work, but I'll concede I am fine with a seafood brunch or two. I happen to LOVE seafood. lol
a little name-dropping about travel can get you a lot of "currency" with a SB in the near term. Like you suggest, I have had a lot of luck with phrases like, "I'm thinking about taking you the next time I go to "XXXXXX" if you can keep me interested that long" or "Have you ever been shopping in NYC?" (Her - NO) Me: "We'll have to do that sometime." Obviously, you dangle the carrot but never make a hard commitment for a date to go.
This is obviously a matter of having "game" of course. Worded badly you come off as being full of yourself and a braggart, worded correctly it makes you interesting, worldly and a huge step up from the young kids she is used to dating. It also helps if you really have the means to jet off to Paris, or at least that you look the part. If you show up in a Mercedes and wearing a Rolex you are more likely to be believable in this regard than if she sees you climbing out from behind the wheel of a 2003 Honda and sporting a Timex. lol
As you said, dangling the carrot also puts the burden on her to "make you happy" and keeps her from simply going through the motions. I am a firm believer in treating SB's just like I treat anyone who makes their living on tips, I will never agree to large upfront payments to SB's any more than I am would agree to leaving a 30% tip to a waiter "before" being served. I tip, and I tip well for extraordinary service, I often tip waiters/bartenders et al 50% or more, but I have ZERO problem leaving nothing at all if I am displeased with the service. I am much the same with SB's.
I tend to dress more casually when not working (but always within the acceptable dress code of where we are going). I do drive a luxury car and have a few expensive watches. I don't carry a wallet, but use a well-stuffed money clip instead. You are absolutely correct that SB's notice these "trappings of success" and respond to us accordingly. Once in awhile, I will get a girl that gives me a hint of disbelief when talking about the POSSIBILITY of foreign travel, so I whip out my phone and share some photos of my "travels", usually selfies in front of well-recognized locations like the Eiffel Tower or Houses of Parliament in UK, but these include some girls I have actually taken in the past. Oftentimes, the girls in the photos are even hotter than the one I'm talking to. I don't discourage any of them from making assumptions or engaging in flights of fancy about "our" future. Its like a light goes on in their brain and their whole attitude becomes "how can I please you the most?" (We'll think of SOMETHING. Lol) As you say, its about having some "game" and enough visual evidence to back it up.
one gal confided to me that what she sees first are the shoes. Thusly I wear a loin clothe and Mephistos.
I suppose it makes sense given how much gals agonize over their footwear.
actually shoes are important in that respect. Not just with women, but with all people who find it necessary to size up a person's socio/economic standing in a quick glance. Hotel concierges, bartenders, virtually anyone who works on tips ALL learn to size a person up in a quick glance.
Once upon a time the "uniform" of rich men was a well tailored suit and tie, (as opposed to the wash and wear version put out by Sears or JC Penny's. lol), but those days are long in the past, especially in tourist towns like LV where the guy in shorts and sandals is more likely to be "rich" than the guy sweltering in the 115 degree heat in a three piece suit. My "uniform" in the summer is shorts and a polo shirt, but I typically wear crocodile or ostrich skin moccasins, and if I am sized up by let's say the head of security in a five star hotel, the first thing he is going to notice are my thousand dollar shoes and my $30,000 watch. That is one of the reasons I have ZERO fear of being accosted by hotel security when going to see a hooker in a "fancy" hotel no matter how I am dressed. Security doesn't fuck with anyone they think is "rich" who can get them fired.
Ironically, I don't notice at all what kind of shoes women wear, unless of course they are wearing stripper heels, but then of course I don't care whether a woman has money or not. To tell the truth, I tend to have a better time with waitresses than socialites, and their needs aren't anywhere near as demanding.

He has had that type of bad joke copyrighted here for about 15 years that I can remember. lol
I am sure he will be willing to accept some kind of small royalty rather than filing an infringement suit against you. That reminds me, at a $100,000 per occurrence I believe Jake owes me $48,400,000 for infringing on my "Go Fuck Yourself" copyright, As my lawyer fish better get his ass on the job, unless he's been taking secret lasagna payoffs. lol
AAR I am sure with a small royalty payment there won't be any reason for this to get ugly. Just paypal my GaGambler account and I'll be sure it gets to the right place.
we'd be locked up for a very long time for being non-compost mentos,
Even a writ of hockus-pokus wouldn't have done the trick.
(Do you like how I can sling around that lawyer jargon? I bet my law degree arrives in the mail any day now.)
No wonder he keeps you on retainer constantly.
How many times have you had to get him released from those pesky 72 hr psych holds? lol
That reminds me, I know we won a judgment in our counter suit against Priapussy some five years ago or so and that we agreed that rather than divide up the 43 cents we collected that you would invest it for us, please don't tell me you invested our total nest eggs in Crocs. lol
A few flowers and an occasional brunch is a small price for a happy SB. Still better than a GPS pro (or a wife).
I agree flowers and an occasional brunch is a "small price" to pay, a Birken bag is not what I would consider a "small" price. lol
BTW I have already gone on record as not minding an occasional brunch, but the only way she gets flowers is if she can fake being in love with me, especially in the way she fucks me. And yes, I only want her to be faking, the last thing I want is for one of these girls to actually fall in love with me. The good news of course is that it's hardly likely that some girl forty years younger than me is ever going to fall in love with me for real I will confess, I do like the illusion of something real, but only in small doses of course.
Brunch or flowers would be fine.
I have on occasion tossed around the idea of buying Birken bag or certain Channel purses for MYSELF, as an investment. Ha! It sure seems like you can buy these purses/bags and sit on them for a few years and re-sell for a profit, especially, if they are a special edition or otherwise limited.
Matter of fact my newest 21yo SB, who is a certified angel, very smart, model pretty blonde, college student, working part time in her planned professional field, is totally happy with just a 200 gift per visit. Not only that, even though I offered to drive to her town 60 miles away, she prefers to drive her own car on her own dime to come visit me at my home. Special delivery pussy right to my door! Her modest expectation$ seem to be quite the rule for me on SA. The only big change I've seen in the past 2 years is a much higher incidence of scammers.
