After "tryouts" in two places I travel to regularly, I've settled on regular SBs in both places.  Many thanks for all the advice guys...it was worth reading the past 9 months of this forum, lol.

In case you're interested, some lessons I learned:

- Whoever said every SB is different is right.  Some want to get to know you more before first M&G; others are more serious and just want to get to that date if they like your profile.

- Being direct and honest about myself and situation, and frequency got me the most results; avoided false modesty.

- You need to bring a little game, show that you lead an exciting life, because chances are you do, relative to them

- Older (30-42) SBs proved surprisingly intriguing.  One was a hot divorcee who didn't want to fuck anyone in her home town and never asked for any money (though I did giver her some, and will see her again)

YMMV, but this has been really, really fun, especially if you like the GND type and romantic dates with lingering, multi-hour BCD sessions.  Prohibitively expensive to do that in the hobby world at the frequency I'd like.
