Well is it worth the money we pay.
This is the way I see it , after many years of punting.
You can find a girl (girlfriend) spend time chatting flirting persuading her to go on a date buy her gifts drinks ( jewels if you really like her) and eventually have sex.
Then follows commitment IE meeting family friends ( pretending you are not sexually interested in her friends) and also put up with mood changes jealousy and irritating habits.
OR........
You could spend time browsing on AW etc choose someone ( or two) pay the one off fee and have a great time go home and save up for next encounter.
No guilt no concerns about the next date( unless you want another) and free to spend time how you would like .
Personally my ideal way to live would be sharing a home with two beautiful bi-sexual WGs but thats a fantasy which brings its own problems as has been discussed earlier.
What is your ideal situation ?
