1. PM the answer to this one if you want, but do you ever knowingly settle? If you see 2 or 3 (or more) things you don't like, are you likely to still meet the lady? Something in her appearance, character, missing activties...? I'm wondering if my mindset is wrong, but I rarely find a lady I'm willing to spend this much money on. Which leads to...
2. Are quality ladies or the state of the hobby deceasing? I remember when I first got into this there were more ladies I was interested in than I could afford to hire. Most of them moved on before I could get the money saved up. They were also more responsive. Even the established ladies are hard to get ahold of. Half of them stop responding halfway through setting up the appointment and the other half don't respond at all. Now if I drive to KC or OKC I'm spending 6 hours driving for 1 hour of fun and I have things outside this I'd like to get done. And even they frequently do the same. Maybe they're cracking down on this more than I'm aware of and making ladies much more cautious?
3. I've brought this up before, but the search is hit and miss at best. A report was posted today for a lady I researched yesterday. I wasn't 100% sure the phone number was the same, but it wouldn't show up. Entered in the exact same way, the number got no results. It's not finding something I KNOW is here. So how much info am I not being given? Other than searching the name and number here and google, maybe a reverse image search, maybe OH2, where can I get info? I don't want to be just posting ads asking for info, which usually isn't much.
This is as much a vent as anything. Last night I decided to do some settling; I didn't like her hairstyle and hoped she didn't have her septum piercing in, and last year when I talked to her she pressured me to get a room and let her keep using it all night despite me saying I wasn't comfortable with it. So I tell her how long it'll take to get there and said "I can be there sooner if you don't mind a beard", a joke since I intended to shave but also hoped she'd be into it. She asked for a pic and I assumed to see the beard, but I asked if she always does that and got no response. An hour and two more messages, one saying I shaved/showered and was ready to go to her incall, and nothing.
