Cheers man.
I tried to make it so the OP could at least generally know what to expect from the places I had been, and had information to start on researching other options.
So I appreciate your kind words.
Yeah I've looked at the line up at SL, and don't get me wrong, very tempting.
In my current punting phase about 2 to 2 1/2 years, early experiences were with younger ladies (early 20s).
I found in general that the service was everything you'd hope for (with a couple of exceptions) but conversation was stilted, which is fair as what does a early 20 something have in common with a mid-late 40 something?
Being as conversation and chit chat is a thing that takes up about 25% of most bookings (for me anyway) it is nice to have a few of the same cultural touchpoints, as references to things, events or media are at least understood or remembered without having to do the whole 'in my day x, y, z' explanation, which just makes me feel like a grandpa lol.
And I've got to the point in life where I can look at a 20 year old woman on the street and think "physically she looks amazing, but her face looks like a 'baby' (not an actual baby, but you get the point)" and that kind of stops me in my thoughts, and let's face it attraction is a head game.
In honesty I think in at least one of the ok, but not great, experiences I had with an SW in her very early 20s I looked too much like her dad or his friends and that limited some of the acts that she was willing to engage in (nothing crazy, just a bit of DATY) ... I may be wrong, but I don't think so.
Whereas I've found that ladies in their 30s are much easier to converse with, have a bit more life experience and at least to them I just look like a guy who is a bit older but not parent level older, so they have less hang ups.
Not that I blame the younger ones for potentially having a few hang ups with being intimate with someone who is literally old enough to be their dad, that is pretty n a t u r a l I think.
So I've happily settled into really only seriously going ahead with making a booking when the advertised age is over 30, since I'm more just about the escape and experience of a booking, and the whole thing just feels a bit more organic (because no 20 year old woman would pass me on the street and think 'what a dreamboat. lol).
That isn't to throw shade at lads who do often do bookings with younger SWs, as long as everything is consensual and all involved are happy, more power to them.
And it isn't to dump on the younger ladies like they are somehow inferior.
Just a preference thing.
Anyway, enough hijacking the thread.
OP, best of luck with your endeavors, have a great time, and hopefully some piece of information I proved above proves to be of use to you.
