Late to the party...
A little late in on this one, haven't been here much in a while. Thought I'd share a little myself ... But first, I will staunchly defend Tant, his musings, ramblings and over-the-top posts. I can appreciate his experiences but they are HIS and, like him, I've had experiences with some SPs that seem to be much more enjoyable and fulfilling than what others have said about the same SPs. Each to their own.
I've spent social time with a handful of ladies over the past few years. Almost always on "holiday" time, as some call it... during their period. Have wandered the streets of Chinatown, gone shopping in malls, shared meals, even had a couple of them over to my home for overnighters. Have taken them to hair and nail appointments, grocery shopping, etc... like I would for any friend. They're people and those working in the Asian micros (which are my preference, generally) are, as stated earlier, largely isolated and unable to do much aside from work. They show huge appreciation for my time.
One particular case comes to mind, met the girl on her first day in the city. She had good English skills, a great sense of humour and was fun to hang with. Took her out on her birthday for lunch, shopping, dinner and attended the fireworks at English Bay. It made her day something special and I had fun. She insisted on buying me a gift and paying for a meal (both of which I declined - it was her birthday, after all).
On more than one occasion (with more than one SP), after a lengthy (and WAY over time) frolic, we each forgot about the money... which I, of course, paid on a subsequent visit. Those types of connections make for significantly more fulfilling and enjoyable visits.
If I enjoy a person's company I don't give a shit what they do. I just enjoy their company.
Interesting thread you started here, Tant. You brought me out of hiding... ;-)
