Seeking Arrangements

[Midwestern]

When I was active on SA in the USA, I spent around 20 hours per week on it. You cannot zero in on only a few that you like. It is a numbers game. Every day, I would reach out to about two or three dozen gals, and then wait to see if I get any positive responses, and then follow up on those. Over an 18 month period, I hooked up with about 23-25 gals. So, on average, each month, I spent around 100 hours on the SA site, and I would hook up with 1 or 2 gals. Was it worth it? Well, I enjoyed the game. For the most part, I thought it was pretty exciting and fun. If being on the site by itself is a chore and a grind, then it may not be worth it. And I hooked up with some great gals. So, I would say that it was worth it for me. But it is a lot of time! That's for sure. Even Steve will say that SA in the USA takes a lot of time. BTW, the rates depends on where you are. There's been a lot of good intel on this forum about pricing in different places. Good luck!

I have been trying SA in US for the past few weeks and I have to say it's a nightmare so far. I saw a report from Steve where he had great luck. But my experience so far has not been good.

Chicks that look terrible somehow feel they are worth 400-500 because one time someone payed them that much. I have had some of them ask for 800. Can have a date with them once or twice at 400-500 but seems too high for a regular basis. I feel most of the chicks ready some BS article online about how much SB's are getting paid and expect the same amount forgetting you have to factor in how you look and other variables.

Had this one chick who wanted money just for talking because apparently she has a friend with a SD in upstate New York that has never seen her but sends her money week. So not this one is trying to find one like that too.

Then there are ones that are just trying to get a feel but haven't made up their mind. Waste of time.

Any tips / tricks you guys can share to make the experience better?

How big is language an issue? I can probable work around hotels and restaurants, but what about the girls.

Most Mexican girls speak some English. However, I have been using google translate and as long as you have a good signal on your phone and are in a quiet place, you can converse with it quite normally. Google Translate has opened up a whole new world to me. They say the internet grew due to demand for porn. I wonder if the pursuit of pussy will change the way we communicate with each other. I have been so excited getting pussy I did not realize how revolutionary what I was doing truly was.

Microsoft has a free translator program too but it is not as good.

But it changed everything with me and pursuit of Latina pussy.

Language is in a way a negotiation of power. I mean it's obv better if you can get around in the local language but if you don't speak it you don't speak it. Beyond that, it's a matter who needs / wants the other more.

If a girls wants and needs your attention and money, she will put up with the discomfort of just hammering through those awkward Google translate conversations. A middle class hot girl with other options probably won't, but the one who really needs your 300 bucks probably will. And you'll deal with it for a girl out of your league otherwise, but it'll just be a means to an end. A girl 2 points lower on the looks scale would be preferable if you needed to spend time with her if she spoke your language.

Atlanta is tougher than other cities because there are fewer non HOT DEALs listed. But here is an example where the stats of the deal exactly match the Omni. You can take the deal and get the Omni for sure.

Often it will show miles from search and number of Expedia reviews which is even more exact match.Once it said here is a pic of the actual hotel room. Usually u can't tell one from the other. In the pic tho the TV had a Hilton welcome screen. Duh and sure enough I got the Hilton. LOL.

Luminous. The biggest pain in traveling was coming back through American customs. I hated that and being questioned up and down.

Best thing I did was get a Global Entry card which is a $100 and includes TSA precheck. Typically now, I rush through customs, half the time it is less than a minute and all the time is less than five minutes, and all that 3rd degree bullshit is now gone.

I am in Cancun now with my novia, and I got through customs here in one minute. So flying abroad which was such a big deal is not now. You may want to go with a wingman if you are nervous a first time but with google translate on your phone and global entry, hunting for pussy in the Latin America is easier now than it has ever been.

Everyone is afraid of crime but if you stay in the US based hotel chains, it feels the same as the USA and you are 100 X more likely to get ripped off by an American wench that robbed here.

It's hard to say where we are at with foreclosures. Many homeowners were able to use COVID hardship forbearance plans to pause payments during the COVID crisis. There are more nonpaying mortgages than anytime since the Great Crash. Of course, that would be expected.

I agree markets can stay irrational a long time. As they say in stock investing, "Don't fight the Fed. " The Feds prop up the housing market as the USA Financial system is to a large degree dependent on the housing market.

Just like in 2005, foreclosures are not an issue because we have a booming market. Anyone who can't afford a mortgage can just sell their homes for a profit. The people who overpaid a decade ago have already been washes out.

I got memberships for both SA and AfroIntroductions about 3 months ago, around the same time. My residence is in the midwest. I started looking at prospects in my area compared to funding a few trips to Tanzania (TZ) where covid restrictions are / were light and ebony squeeze could be had for a song. I'm wrapping up my 2nd trip to TZ presently and what a joy it has been. Dating in America? Lmao, agreed, a bad nightmare.

Yeah, grab a passport and get the hell out of the USA sex prison.

Sorry, if that is obvious, but I cannot support these selfish American wenches.

I went to a strip club in my area for the first time in forever. This past year, I was in Tijuana at Hong Kong doing a 10 on a bed for $100. At La Isla in Medellin, it was $80 again in a decent room with a bed. These Cuban wenches, maybe a 7 and a 8, wanted $400 a piece to have sex on a crummy fake leather covered stall, and they would not go down which told me guys are paying it. I passed.

Yes, the housing is on fire but I don't see evidence of large amount of foreclosures happening. Foreclosures happen all the time at a normal rate, but I don't see data that supports anything close to 2008. The banks have been very tight with their lending standards so most of the people that own houses will not end up in foreclosure. Some will, most won't. Recessions always come from places you don't expect them too.

And if the housing prices do go down. There are millions of investors waiting on the sidelines with billions of dollars to pounce on these deals so I don't see a significant price correction from current levels.

Even if you believe housing prices are crazy. Just remember this. Markets can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.

Yes Elvis, the USA Housing market is fucked up. The Fed's pumping in cheap money available to qualified borrowers who drive up prices. There are supposedly a load of foreclosures and evictions being forestalled. I'm not trying to make this a political point, but I would say it's a K shaped recovery so far. I don't know how it will all shake out, but I am optimistic we get through this quickly.

Do it for Atlanta. I am curious how it works.

Yes I mean using the zone to reduce the candidates. But then star rating, traveler rating, and distance from search (not always shown) give the fingerprint. Usually the first two are sufficient. Give me any city and I will do an example.

[Steve 9696]

I'm not sure I follow. How do you shrink the map area to ensure uniqueness?. I thought Hotwire has designated zones in cities. I also find that in tourist or downtown areas there are a lot of similar hotels.

I apply other tricks. I usually get what I want by reading betterbidding.com and other sites. It takes a few minutes of studying the rating and the amenities. Based on this, Betterbidding has an idea which hotels are actively filling rooms via Hotwire. If you are lucky, someone will have posted that they got this incredible deal this morning and they will describe the Hotwire listing. These can be deals when a hotel is trying to fill up closer to the date. They might only last a morning or afternoon.

Car rentals will be a pain in the ass until car rental companies build back their pre-COVID inventories.

I musta saved $1000 this year with this little known back door. You go on Hotwire and look at the deals. Note closely how many stars including half stars. Note the rating like 4. 3 or 4. 4 or whatever. Note also the distance from location.

These things are like a little digital finger print. Then scan down the page and find the hotel that matches that digital fingerprint. You may have to limit your search to a smaller area using the map to ensure uniqueness. But I've saved a ton off high end props like Westin Hilton and Hyatt using this little trick. I 100% get the hotel I expected and save between $40 and $100 a night.
