what are your feelings after a Negative punt?

[horsa]

Do you feel bad with yourself for going ahead with the punt in the first place? angry because you wasted hard earned money?

[mr.bluesky]

Just frustrated  and a bit pissed off that you have wasted your hard earned cash but then this is what this web site is all about. To sort out the wheat from the chaff.

more annoyed with yourself for wasting hard earned pounds or more annoyed due to a shit service?

[dboy74]

Mainly pissed off with the WG for a shit punt. However, I feel a little better after placing my Negative review on here.

Ultimately though it is a case of moving on and learning from it.

[horsa]

I feel dirty and disgusted with myself after a bad punt (either due to bad service, not clicking with the girl or if I have failed to walk from a munter my thoughts are 'why have I just stuck my cock up that beast? and wasted my hard earned') I jump into the shower first thing and scrub myself clean.

With a positive punt it's the complete opposite, the shower is the last thing on my mind

[Chromedome]

For me lately it's pretty much like watching my national team  at football ,  go in full of enthusiasm leave with a shrug of the shoulders and put it behind me. Every( rarely) now and again there is a RESULT  !!!! 

Also of course I've read negs where I have "scored"  and positives where I "lost " so to speak.

[MrArmagh]

annoyed that I wasted money/ the girl didn't care about the fact that its wasting time/ money.

it does set me back and I might not punt for a while after it.

Can lead to Punter's Alienation...

Is there any specific reason why you pose the question?

angry with myself that the money could of been spent elsewhere. EG: the money could of been spent on a weeks worth or shopping, saved in the bank or used on another WG that I have reviewed as positive. Just like that, the hard earned money is gone and your not getting it back!

I try to objective about it. Obviously it's annoying, but I try to take it as an opportunity to access why it was a bad punt, what were the warning signs, how I could've avoided that etc. Then I just try to take my mind off it and move on. Writing a negative review on here helps a lot with that of course. I try not to think too much about the wasted money. You've gotta pay to play the game. Getting to the good punts is what makes it worth it.

Cheers

I see

 

Strangely enough I can get this same feeling on positive and neutral punts also  

[tesla]

I am usually peeved because I blame myself for not being diligent enough in my research, also the loss of the cash doesn't help

[niftyfiftydave]

I laugh and think did i just fuck that munter if that is the reason or laugh at being too nice and letting the bitch mug me if the service is terrible. Absolutely no point looking for blame or blaming yourself, thinking about the hard earned or scrubbing yourself in the shower. Money is gone, if you got a dose you got a dose, and blame is not going to make the slightest bit of difference.

Life is too short, paid your money, made your choice, good bad or ugly the dead is done.

[niceguyali]

I think never again, I’m finished from punting. Then I just have to see another girl after a few days and if it’s good I’m back on the bike again. It’s a cycle I can’t get out of.... yet.

[Steelworker]

Based on me being low risk, doing research on reviews, it doesn’t happen often. When it does, I simply put it down to experience, laugh about it and look forward to the next one. Money spent, can’t get it back. No point worrying about it.

[signy]

A bit frustrated, but that's the game. However, if I subsequently find that it's because I haven't done my research properly, then I am very, very annoyed with myself. That's the worst.

[fastnet]

Of course the money spent is a factor, but as I have limited punting windows I see it as a wasted chance to have a good shag.

[Colston36]

Depressed and sometimes angry - at myself or the girl or both.

To be fair I have had very few truly dire experiences. I think since I started just over 4 years ago out of about 400 meetings only a handful were ghastly but dozens were so what

When I started I didn't realise how important doing your research and insisting on what you want are, or that girls are very vague, or don't read what you want and/or over-promise to get the money.

When flops did occur it was for one of three reasons. Either girls lied or didn't read/understand what I wanted often because of language misunderstandings or I was in a rush to see someone and compromised on what I like.

[Kelgon85]

A bit empty and numb, and annoyed at myself that I basically wasted my money. The name gives it away, but punting really does have a lot in common with gambling. That's why in the last year or so I've become a lot more selective with my choices and, if I can, I always do my research.

[smiths]

Do you feel bad with yourself for going ahead with the punt in the first place? angry because you wasted hard earned money?

More often nowadays its a comms problem like the WG not answering her phone even though I confirmed an hour before I was on my way to her area, in that scenario I am pissed off. I then phone a regular and book in with her, then do a negative review on the cunt who fucked me over.

I don't feel bad with myself, some WGs are low lifes, always have been and that wont be changing anytime soon which is where UKP can help of course.

[HarryZZ]

My expectations have changed, a few years ago I was always pretty satisfied but now unless it's at least 9/10 I'm left wondering where else I could have spent my money.

[Plan R]

Irritation,
Desire to warn others on here if I believe it was a truly shite service,
Dreading the prospect of the long drive home spent in self recrimination,
Awareness of a full sack
Figuring out how long before I can reasonably blow another evening and 100+ lizzies on my favourite hobby

 

[JamesKW]

Wasted money and what else better I could have spent it on like a good rock concert.

[OakTree]

Writing a review can have some therapeutic effect then it’s a case of moving on. No point dwelling on the matter.

[jayj301599]

To be honest I chalk it up to experience, yes I've lost money but that was punting money so there is a risk that I could be spending money and not getting the experience I want. But the amount of research I put into it, if it's a crap punt it was a waste of time. The best thing I can then do is post a review to ensure no one else suffers the same experience as I

[Hobbit]

In my younger days, I would feel very depressed after a bad punt. Had the same feelings of disgust and would only feel better after having a shower once I got home.

20 years later, it’s a completely different story! It doesn’t bother me so much and I just put it down to the fact that it is a gamble and sometimes it pays off and other times it doesn’t. That’s life!

The benefit of having UKP is that I can also leave a bad review if I have a shit punt which also helps to express myself and help others.

[Bogof60]

It's a punt FFS
The clue is in the name.
Punt

[peter purves]

Dreading the prospect of the long drive home spent in self recrimination,
 

Tell me...such a lonely experience 

This sense of foreboding has prevented many a punt and one of the key factors why I never undertake punts which are very far 

[The Owl]

I think about the money. If I have a good punt I don't.

[CardinalSin]

Strictly speaking, the money is wasted whether the punt was good or bad.

I treat it as a learning experience and try to find/achieve better next time.

But yeah - writing a negative review makes me feel better.

[WARSZAWA16]

Initially think to myself how could I be so stupid. Then metaphorically kick myself all the way home. Before finally residing myself to the fact that I just have to put it all down to experience I suppose and try/hope to learn from it.

[Payyourwaymate]

I used to feel like others have stated, until I realised it's the risk you willingly take when you decide to punt. Shit can go either way.

Charge it to the game.

[Jonestown]

I try to be stoical about it, try to recover some good points from the transaction. I do get pissed off with myself if there has been a moment when I could of, should have, walked away and I didn't.

[datwabbit]

I'm not good with it.

It's a lot of money that I won't get back.

Plus a bad punt usually means I've got full balls or I had to finish myself. Neither of them is good.

I get quite angry with myself and it stops me taking risks with others.

[AVFC1982]

I’m afraid I stick to who I know. I’d rather go somewhere safe with a nice girl than risk my money on someone who i don’t get on with. Twice have I deserted my reg and ended up going round anyway few days later. She knows what I like and makes the effort

[Sparta Prada]

If I have had a negative punt, the immediate feelings I have are:

a) at least I scratched that itch,
b) be thankful for the regulars that I do know and continue to see, and
c) make sure I do a review on UKP.

[Bonker]

Varies from mild self reprobation (serves you right you brainless dick) to anger and impossible promises (never punt again).

[Johnny2050]

After a bad punt, yes I feel bad of course; usually I want another punt right away, if possible the same day, so I can forget. If I cannot punt again the same day, I will try to punt as soon as possible, as I cannot stand it to have a bad punt in memory as my last punt. Like a bad taste in the mouth.

[Malvolio]

I feel annoyed and it actually puts me off punting for a bit.

[GorillaWarfare]

I was on a bit of a bad run earlier this year (went four-in-a-row for neutral or below reviews on here - although that's an interesting topic: "what's your longest streak of bad punts?" - I reckon there's a few on here that can easily top my four-in-a-row) and it feels shitty, if I'm honest. The regular thoughts of "is this for me?" and "I've thrown x amount of money down the drain" definitely go through your head.

The worst for me is when I've travelled a good distance. It's a long drive or ride home depending on the mode of transport used to think about exactly what you've done.

[poundstock]

I think I’m fortunate. With diligent research and restricting myself to mostly a small group of tried and tested  WGs I never experience a negative punt. Some punts are more memorable than others but I always come away with something that has made my outlay worthwhile.

[adamwestbb]

Annoyed that it resulted in a shit punt. Sometimes i feel the urge to immediately go on AW and find a nearby 15min pump and dump or blowngo just to satisfy the urge.

[Belgarion]

Do you feel bad with yourself for going ahead with the punt in the first place? angry because you wasted hard earned money?

Annoyed with myself for the most part as I can sense it will be  a horrible punt when I arrive.

Then I go grab some KFC and all is well 

[jimmymac]

Straight afterwards I'm usually annoyed and angry thinking the money could have been spent better somewhere else.
Next day I'm promising myself that I will give up punting.
By the next day I'm forgetting about it and planning a new punt.

[Bonker]

I hope you wash your hands before that finger licking stuff
