Didn't have to "pay for it" until I reached my mid- 40's, did OK up to then and had some decent conquests during that time, long and short term
When the magic wore off and I began to sag, also realising I didn't fancy women of my own age group any more, but couldn't pull younger ones as not an Adonis/loaded etc, on the advice of a divorced friend decided on taking route one approach - ie punting
Have shagged many (younger) women in last 15 yrs who would not have given me time of day if I wasn't paying for it, so had some fun for my money, prob would have wasted it on something else anyway
My new yrs resolution - continue with quality not quantity approach of last couple of yrs as winding down my punting now, was 30- 40 punts p.a. until 4-5 yrs ago, gradual reduction, less punts p.a. as also economising a bit these days?
Happy punting for 2016 to all
