Aw has been getting worse for a long time, people will blame the B word or the virus for numbers, but the fake pics, old pics or shopped pics have been growing for years, prices going up, if not the base rate, ever growing list of extras, declared or when you arrive.
Then there is the researching, B&S, walking for undeclared extras or old/fake/shopped pics, going through services beforehand is a mood killer for me, and my age a mood killer for most of them.
By the time you add the wasted time from walking, the research, finding one at a suitable time in a suitable place it is hours.
Much rather play the other game, yes it takes time, but no more than the above and the results are so much better, other things apart from extras, time limits, etc usually not there are bloody great tattoos, rock hard plastic tits and scrap yard piercings. Oh and the post op worry.
The best thing of all though, it is not like AW in that they only see my age and weary joints when I turn up, they are happy meeting an old codger, one is genuinely only turned on by old guys, paid her once but she now calls when in the mood. It is a completely different experience
