Another thing to consider is that with an SP, as long as you have the $$$, and are not in some way totally disgusting, you qualify. With any real SB, there is least some degree of her having to like you. Not quite as much as actual dating, but you still have to woo her to some degree. Your pic, profile, saying the right things and then some in-person personality. It's not a slam dunk like with an SP. So in that sense, there is some of that feeling of satisfaction in yourself.Again, agree with everything you've written and my experiences are almost IDENTICAL. Except I tend to go for milf types in their mid-thirties to mid-forties range (I'm early 50s) and only if they host. It's a lot different than being with pros. Nothing wrong with pros (I still see Sps two or three times a month) but the heat and passion of being with an SB who wants to smash and gets off on being with YOU instead of an SP who just sees you as a walking wallet is completely different. Even the very best SP (and I've seen some great ones) doesn't really compare with being with even an average SB. And great SBs are out of this world.
But yeah, it's more work. Time and effort expended. Hassle and games sometimes. But you know... chicks be chicks. When they start on that nonsense, move on. Lots of fun to be had elsewhere.
I had great, great times with hundreds of SPs and I have the utmost respect for them, but having a great SB who you get to spend a lot of quality time with, both in and out of the bedroom, without having to watch the clock, IMO, is much more satisfying.
