A bit of a personal story....about two years ago I joined up to Flingfinder, an Australian site that some of you may be familiar with. $60 for 3 months premium membership (i.e. being able to see people's nudes and send messages to them), but unfortunately the ratio of men to women is at least 10:1 and probably worse. The place has been seriously dying in the arse and that's a shame because it is a genuine site with no bots etc. Anyway I have had precisely TWO successful hookups from this site and two years so that ain't good odds, although I have chatted with various women in different states over the journey.
The first of these experiences was absolutely fantastic. Met this lady (about 30) at Curtin University. I had booked a hotel room at Nesuto Curtin (basically on campus). Met, fucked, ate lunch, drank beer, fucked again, fucked again, went out for dinner. Phew, what an awesome day. Even after one day I could see that she was interested in seeing me again, but unfortunately my personal circumstances did not really allow this. Met her a second time a while later but there was a cockup with the hotel booking and we missed out entirely. Had a drink as a consolation prize. I totally jerked this poor lady around over the course of a few months to the point where she broke off all contact. 100% my fault and I regret it to this day.
Second lady....early 40s, similar to myself. Didn't look like she was ever going to invite me over but one night she did. This was a weird experience because she had her adult children in the house and wanted me to come around the back to a sleepout. So I'd never met the woman and here we were fucking in the dark. Not bad but all a bit covert, not as much fun as the first lady. And then she broke off contact with me due to HER personal bullshit. Fair enough.
That was in April and August 2022, more than a year ago now. Even though I still try on Flingfinder it's virtually impossible to get anywhere. The amount of women on there in WA can be counted on one hand. I figure that if I get one hookup in three months it's certainly worth the $60. The shitty forum doesn't seem to be working at all anymore and it's just a sad shell of a place. If I knew of a similar site I would try to use it, but I want something genuine and non-bot filled.
So since October '22 it's been Locanto all the way. In that time I have spent $4000 in escorts in just under a year. Now I have four women I see regularly on a bit of a roster. It used to be once a month, then once a fortnight, and now once a week. Even if I stick to my low budget method, it's still likely to be $7000-8000 a year for the foreseeable future. It's great from a time point of view because you just arrange your meetup, probably takes 10 mins of texting at most, and then that's it. Whereas on Flingfinder you can spend countless hours getting nowhere at all.
I still haven't quite given up on Flingfinder but it's pretty desolate...any tips/advice for me?
