Lots to say here, but I'll focus on this: How you use your time is up to you. For me, weeding through profiles and negotiating times is close to zero time. You ignore SA until you're ready for it. You pop a show on the TV or streaming service with a meal at the ready at the same time. As you were ALREADY going to be "wasting time" sitting there eating and watching for an hour anyway you also send out some messages while watching and eating which means no extra time at all involved. Ditto for when you're on a bus or train. Or get to a meeting or something early, or standing on a line. So it's not that it doesn't take any time to weed through but that you're taking advantage of what would otherwise be unavailable time for you anyway.
Do this for a week and you definitely have a few dozen numbers, and with many of you at the 500 number that should be a given for multiple dates to choose from. I'm more picky and don't choose every possibility (no 500s whatsoever) no matter how pretty.
Same for:
There are thousands of other opportunities AND on the other wise the woman are no doubt getting hundreds of other offers, so you simply make your offer and move on. If you're spending time on somebody no matter how perfect they seem you're wasting time.
They're either going to cut a deal with you or they are not it's not a high stakes contract needing negotiation. If you have nothing to loose then you loose nothing. If she's resenting you at the date, something's probably gone wrong and not just with her.
Agreed this is another strategy to cast a wide net, there are thousands on SA in NYC area, and I am sure
I could cut cheaper deals in $200-300/3hrs. Usually I like/favorite a bunch of girls, and then see how
likes me back, and then I sent them a brief message and see who is responsive, and then narrow the list
down to who I really want to meet up. I had success with this on Match/POF/OKCUpuid when I was single about 10 years
ago and probably went on like 100 dates from this. Basically it's a lead funnel, the more prospects you
have in the hopper the more chances you have to finding a girl for lower $$.
But know that I am SO, I have less time and opportunity so I think a little differently,
sometimes when you spend more the time with the girl outside of the hotel it is more like civie dating
and they may give you lower pricing. But when I get the opportunity I want to find a girl I am really excited
to meet with, rather than finding the cheapest girl I can nut in. Like I can find someone for $200 but is
that someone I wanna meet, probably not, like the previously mentioned Asian goth girl for $250.
My taste preference as mentioned is really specific so maybe there is a pool of 100 girls on SA and 100 girls on SB max that fits
those requirments, so it's the difference between having a shotgun approach vs. being a sniper. Like I would
rather spend a little more and find a more exciting girl to me rather than just meet a girl because she is just
Ok looking and offering a cheaper rate. But It depends how often you do it, etc. But everyone has a different
approach and if it works for you, great.
