Tinder vs Punting vs SA vs Swinging – My Story
Having just left my first review, I thought I would carry on the writing with a bit of a brief story.
Punting
I have punted on and off since I was 24 (12 years ish). My first punt was at Angel Lodge in Liverpool, where I didn’t even make it past the HJ stage in my youthful exuberance. I have punted in London, Sheffield, Manchester, Leicester, Coventry, Hull and most of Lincolnshire and periphery (probably forgot some in there somewhere). I have worked away quite a bit and will usually find a punt to fit in with my travels.
My punts have varied from the sublime to the ridiculous, with some wonderful experiences but also some where I wished I hadn’t have bothered. I have predominantly used AW, but also Viva and also local adverts/websites for massage parlours. I find AW a good starting point then I would come on here and do my research from you guys.
In terms of top three punts I would go with Chelsea Hart (Mansfield), Helena (Lincoln) and an unknown Russian in London. I tend to keep my spends around the £100 per hour or £60 per half an hour mark and based on what I can remember I have spent about £3k.
Pros A multitude of women of every shape, size, race and religion
Cons Varied service, expensive
Tinder
So after a few disappointing punts and a change in circumstances I took the plunge in to the world of Tinder (and POF) and thought I would see how they compared. I have been on and off dating sites for about a year now and thought it was sufficient time to make comparisons against the world of punting. In that year I have been on ‘dates’ with 30 different women, some have just been one drink and see you later type thing, others have led to more dates.
I don’t state I am just looking for a hook up, but its marvellous how many single women (or not so single) are out there looking for a similar type of thing. Tinder world has cost me around £1k so far and the return on investment has been sleeping with eight women, of which only one was a one off. The standard of women compared to punting is different of course. Some good, some not so good.
Pros Cheap (ish)
Cons Needy women, time consuming
SA
I had a brief flirtation with SA about two years ago. A one month subscription, which was around £50, a flurry of messages with a variety of women, predominantly younger with financial requirements. Some of the expectations of these women were out of this world and any guy that did sign up to these arrangements must be far too well off for their own good! I was clear on what I wanted, what my payment limits were and ended up meeting two different young women for two wonderful experiences. Value for money, it wasn’t the best, but certainly better value than punting to normal way. Girl A was £150 for everything and anything for about 4 hours. Girl B was less than that for what turned out to be quite a few meetings. I probably struck gold on the last one to be fair, but tempted to delve back in to that world again just to see if it was a one off.
Pros High standard of women
Cons Costly
Swinging
I have always flirted with swinging websites, mainly to satisfy some threesome and moresome desires I tend to go through. I have been on and off them for about 8 years, with around 10-15 meets. I have had mainly MMFs as well as some gangbangs and dogging experiences. I don’t know if its just the area I am searching, but the clientele tend to be in their 40s/50s. There is an awful lot of single guys on there so competition is fierce.
Pros Free, no beating around the bush, you are all there for the same reason
Cons Standard is low, lots of single men
