[QUOTE=Gs1242;2863522]Why do gals think we go on SA and seek platonic dates? All for nothing? Are men interested in such dates?[/QUOTE]For girls on SA, platonic means you pay full price for her to show up for coffee. That's ridiculous.
There are circumstances however, where I do platonic. I don't look for escorts on SA, but for a long term GFE. She would typically be someone who has not had a sugar relationship and I'm probably the only person she sees regularly in an arrangement. For this to work, we need to have more that attracts us than just her body and my money.
I start with an unpaid 'meet & greet' and do a few platonic dates till we both agree we are interested in taking things further. However (and this is important) the rate for platonic is 1/3rd of an intimate date. That rules out the escorts, but compensates genuine people for their time. I don't expect that an attractive girl, half my age, with a decent job is going to sleep with me on a first meet, even if compensated, so when that does happen, it gives me more satisfaction than sleeping with an escort, for whom I'm just another dick.
Even when we are in a relationship (some of mine have lasted a few years) not every meet is sexual. In my last meet with my long time girl, we chilled over a few beers, cuddled, listened to music.
(for that to happen, we need similar tastes in beer and music). I did a hiking trip in Nepal. Where the altitude makes it too tiring to walk, let alone have intimacy (for her, the luxury trip was a once
in a lifetime experience, even without an allowance). Or I may want company for a corporate event and would like to be seen with an attractive lady, who looks and talks like my GF, not a hooker.
