the new to punting article is definitely very helpful. you should read this and set your expectations. That seems to be the cause the guy who had a recent meltdown on here had.
i wouldn't necessarily recommend British girls either. Normally very expensive and can be hit or miss (and seem to me to be more judgmental, since they are often in it as more of a luxury than a necessity). And to be fair, so of the Asian places have something going for them. I find the girls are normally "in to" white guys, and its normally a very simple affair. everyone knows whats going on and you get what you need. I definitely recommend a British girl if you are looking for something a bit more niche, as it can be hard to explain exactly what you want to someone whose 1st language isnt english.
Let us know how you get on.
