Long time, no post

Hello ladies --

It's been a ridiculously long time since I've posted. It was half-painful, half-enlightening to go back and read over my old posts. Wow, I have learned and grown a lot since those days.

1. I am no longer with Mr. 50s. Yes, he gave me 1.5k every time we met, but I literally had to down alcohol during those precious moments before sexy time. The first time we had sex, I drank 4 dirty martinis at lunch and then 3 glasses of wine in the room. This is during the daytime too. I had to get a bartender to drive my car with me inside of it back to my place because I didn't want to tell any of my friends the story and I was too drunk to lie. DO NOT do this.

2. Just because a SD is great on paper does NOT mean he is the best SD for you. Going back to Mr. 50s - he was a nice man, the type people respect. But there was NO chemistry between us. I can't recall a single conversation we had because all of our conversations were composed of small talk.

3. Much of the interaction with men off SA is a power struggle. Here are a few tips I've learned: The moment you care about having the upper hand is the moment you will completely lose it. If you play games with men, they will play games with you and the cycle will never end. These men aren't stupid; they're successful. They know when you're being fake and when you're being genuine. Don't kid yourself - you're not that good of an actress. They have YEARS of experience on us.

4. 98% of the men on these "sugar sites" are not quality men. However, there are exceptions. I know - I've met and still keep in touch with quite a number of them so there is definitely hope. Just never forget that it's the internet and anyone with access and a few extra dollars can become "Andrew from Los Angeles who has a networth of 50 million and wants to spoil YOU" in ten minutes.

5. If you wouldn't have sex with Mr. XYZ if he wasn't giving you an allowance or filling up your closet with Miu Miu and Louboutins, then that technically makes you an escort. Hate to break it to you, darling. The word "escort" isn't a bad word though. There are many admirable women who are escorts. Seriously - I've met some. If it works for you, then that's fantastic. But you're coming across like a bimbo with her head in the sand if you remain in denial. Having to get smashed before taking off your clothes counts too.... and I am saying this from my little glass house because my arrangement with Mr. 50s was straight from the escort handbook.

6. Don't be afraid to be vulnerable, open, and honest with how you feel. When you get defensive, you automatically make the other person put his defenses up. Be diplomatic, sincere, and direct.

7. Just leave the words "spoil" and "princess" off your profile. Entitlement issues make the good guys click "X" on your profile.

8. Personality matters.
