@desertscrub Someone's not a happy camper today. Cheer up bud it's the weekend. Maybe have your morning coffee before logging onto tuscl, just a thought. On the pre-approved offer that I got on email, it gave me the option to call a toll free number or to book an appointment. I'm not sure if I would have still gotten the same offer if I just did everything online. I had other business to do at the bank as well so I just booked an appointment. @Cashman I've had my other credit card for years, pre pandemic my credit rating never really went up by any significant amounts. It wasn't until the last couple of years that it went up lots. Not complaining though, I can pretty much get a card anywhere now. @From978 Haha yeah I know.

@Tiburon That sb rate was the most I ever paid for a single date. I'd say $300-$500 is average for most areas, unless your in high rent area like LA or NYC.

If your traveling to any decent size city you should find enough options, you only need one to say yes, but I would have at least a few options before making your trip, things do and can come up. I would just be straight up with them and negotiate something that works for the both of you. When onsite I like to play around with it, try different approaches, find out what works and what doesn't, etc. Yeah some will try and scam on their. Just don't send them any money before meeting.

I have spent around 1k on a few clubbing trips. The most spent on any one girl was around $500 on extras girls, and $300 when extras weren't involved. Most on a sb was $400.

Historically I've been terrible with credit. However a few months back my bank sent me a pre-approved offer for a credit card, and I took it. Went to the bank to fill out some paper work, didn't do any checks on me, and even offered to up the original limit. I always carry a balance, but also always pay more then the minimum on repayments. During the pandemic my credit rating has gone up some 130+ points. It basically stayed the same pre-pandemic, and I'm not doing anything differently now, not sure why it went up so much.

I'm with meat72. Now is a good time to invest, get better entry points now that the market has gone down. I'm looking to add more holdings onto financials and energy. Will also buy the index, maybe add on some dividend stocks. I wouldn't use bitcoin to pay for dances at a club, probably get charged a ridiculous service charge by the club to use it.

Lap dances have been $20 in my local clubs since the late 90's. Times were good back then, since then hardly anyone buys dances anymore. I have noticed an increase in drink prices, and charging cover more often during the pandemic. I would likely find other things to do with my entertainment dollars if dance prices increased. Also if LD prices have increased in your area they likely aren't coming back down either.

I'm using Secret Benefits right now. The site nickel and dimes you for pretty much everything. I tried the boost message option once, costs 10 credits, it worked, got a reply back very quickly. When I've been talking to a sb for awhile occasionally I get curious and check out her private pics, costs 10 credits as well, a bit more racier then the public pics. When you spend your last 10 credits you get a limited time (ten minutes) bonus reload. For $289 usd you normally get 1000 credits, but during the bonus window you end up getting 2000 credits. Seeking seems to be the better value, but if you can hit pay dirt on sb's quickly that could end up being the better deal. Credits don't expire on sb's either. Seeking raised it's membership for 30 days up to $109.99. Whichever site you use it does end up being a numbers game.

I don't recall ever leaving in the middle of a song before, but cut the dances off after one or two plenty of times. Seems nowadays that girls will try and get away with counting that initial half a song as one. Can't really blame them. A lot of guys won't make a fuss over that and she has made some easy money. Made my first trip to my local club since it re-opened, about a week ago. On the first full song girl starts trying to upsell. Didn't even ask if she was going to count the first half song, just gave her money for two dances and cut my losses.

Sugaring ain't cheap. Allowance has been in between $250-$400, with all in cost of the date being $500-$600. Length of dates has been in between 5 hours up to a full 24 hours a few times. Sometimes we have gone out, and other times just hung out at the hotel. Either way I look for a big night partying every once in awhile. Usually it's been multiple pops and even bareback a few times. I've been in the sugar game for about the past four years. Back then you could find quite a few who would be okay with $200-$300 per meet. Not no more, it seems nowadays chicks want at least $400. W.r.t. Secret Benefits I see why most guys don't like paying for each person they talk to. It could still work out though. Credits never expire, once you have unlocked a conversation you have unlimited messaging to that person, and guys are very selective on who they spend credits on. It's not too hard to figure out who the pros are. Quite often they post up pics taken from their hotel room, or sort of explicit in their profile description. I went out on a sugar date a few weeks ago and I met her from Secret Benefits. The date was about six hours long. Took her out to dinner to start. Then back to the hotel for drinks and a couple of rounds with her. Allowance to her was $400, dinner, drinks, hotel, cab fare home for her the damage ended up being around $600. Didn't do a meet and greet platonic date with her, although it ended up working out great. If it was an overnighter this would have been perfect, but she had a little one to get back home too. I will likely go out again with her.

A few club visits ago a dancer who I've known for a few years drops by my table. Asks if I want dances, told her I had just arrived and want to hang out front for a bit, have my drink and watch the stage for awhile. She ended up asking a couple more times. Once she saw I wasn't budging, she asked if I would buy her a drink. I refused, she got all pissy and stormed off, lol. I don't think I was rude.

I don't doubt this story either. No this isn't normal for Toronto. I have heard about scams like this going on at Zanzibar on the Toronto board. Whenever I'm in downtown Toronto I always go to Zanzibar and the Brass Rail. Never been ripped off to this magnitude either, always a good time, but they drain your wallet on everything there. As long as some guys allow themselves to be ripped off like this, it's worth it for the girls to try. I would have paid her for what I thought I owed, maybe an extra twenty on top of that if I wasn't entirely sure, because sometimes it's hard to distinguish when one song ends and another begins. If she is still persisting let's go talk to the club manager about it then, but even if we do I'm still not paying you anymore. I'd also tell the girl that I will call LE if the manager doesn't take my side. I bet the conversation would have ended right there. The club isn't going to like LE walking through their club on a busy Friday night, and the manager wouldn't be too happy with the girl in the question either.

Only once has a dancer tried to charge me more than what the house rate is. If the chicks in Austin can get away with it, great for them if they can get it. I would never pay more than what the house rate is. One common scam that I've been running into lately is where the dancer will count the first song. Usually their is never a time when your walking back into the dance area and a new song is just about the start. Remember one time this happened to me, got charged for the first song and that song was only about half a song. Dance areas always seem to be pretty much empty whenever I'm at the club. lol.

Escort agencies are likely to be your best bet. You should be getting a gfe with any agency or reputable indy. A lot of them charge in the 250 range or slightly above. Go on terb and check out how much some of the indys are asking, some of them 400+, even then you may need to submit references for some of them. Believe Allure is out near the airport. If that's the case might want to research the Trinity sc's on terb, I hear they are fun. lol. @Prim0 wrote... "It used to sound like you could get extras at just about any TO strip club. If you think about it....with massage parlors with guaranteed happy endings and escorts as competition, an SC has to be pretty loose to compete." You would think, but it's not like that, however you can get more at some clubs than others. At any GTA sc the minimum you should be getting is some grinding, grabbing t&a, etc.

I used to work around 60 hrs a week, and almost every day of the week. Always had cash in the bank, but little time to myself. See juice is back at the supermarket... Are you actually going to have time now to enjoy yourself with clubs/gambling, etc? Nowadays I'm only working around half those hrs, less money but more time.

^^^^ Says you can use prepaid visa or mastercard, but the card must allow for online transactions. I bought some credits on this site tonight, let you guys know how it goes.

Been seeing some advertising for this site lately. Decided to sign up and check it out. Saw a chick from work on there. I couldn't believe it, had to check her pics a couple times. Hmmm I could be getting parking lot bj's and fs in the bathroom stalls at work. On second thought that might not be a good idea. I think, lol. I haven't read anything too bad about this site. I've seen some girls who are on SA using this site, and some I've never seen on SA. It's probably okay to use, not as popular as SA though. Much fewer options in my small area. You have to buy credits to talk to the girls though. The cheapest option is 100 credits for $59. Costs 10 credits to unlock a conversation and every message after that is free. For that price you get to talk to ten girls. Also 10 credits to unlock private pics/videos. Not great value but your credits don't expire.

SA updated their help section a little while back. It says you can turn off the auto-renew option via the settings menu. I'm not a premium member right now so I can't say if this is accurate or not, maybe others who are can verify.

I would go on a much shorter meet up for less money just to see the if the chick is cool and fun to hang out with. Likely to be quite a few bat shit crazy chicks just like in the stripper world. If it's all good I would prefer the 24 hour meet up. Ends up being a bit cheaper as well. I would rather do less meet ups per month but for more money. You end up saving quite a bit on hotels and going out costs.

Every now and then I will come across a request like this and I don't believe all of them were strippers, maybe none of them. Some people are just looking for a free hand out. I.E. scammer. At any given time a SA girl likely has dozens of orbiters, so the situation is never really that dire. Call her bluff and raise her all-in. Either the conversation continues and get an awesome deal or that's the end of it. In most cases that will be the end of it.

Scams I have come across are exchange for pics/vids, asking you to send money for whatever reason, asking you to buy something off her wishlist, never give out your email address either did that one time and I ended up getting a virus on my computer. W.r.t. not paying for first m+g's most guys don't pay especially if you are meeting many. I've been in the don't pay for m+g's camp but have considered changing my mind completely about that. I don't meet many and do a lot of the filtering out during the messaging process. If she even shows up you know she is somewhat serious about earning your business, you also find out how accurate her pics are, and how well the two of you click. If your both feeling it suggest starting your first real date right then and there. If not, and the m+g was a good one you could leave her a little something to make a good impression. It could be something small like fifty bucks or less. You certainly don't have to pay anything for the m+g. I'd probably leave her a Victoria Secret gift card.

Nowadays most of my club visits are spent locally and are low roi. I don't travel for work anymore and I don't see the appeal of traveling just to go to a better clubbing area. Try and find options locally even if I have to pay slightly more.

Sb's willing to have sex on the first meet aren't necessarily bp girls. Some are dtf ASAP but you won't find them on bp or similar type of sites. These types are the easiest to get conversations started with and you don't have to beat around the bush with them. Some also take their profile pics right from their hotel room. I also ask them what sort of a meetup they have in mind, more discrete or a go out type of evening. I look for more OTC type of meet ups. Only way I would do bareback if it was a exclusive arrangement, frequent meetups, monthly allowance, etc. Even then their is still risk, be careful out there.
