I've had success with Canadian SA, much the same as your experience. It takes some effort and time, but worth the $ IMO. It's a drop in the bucket compared to what you'll end up spending if you connect with a few girls.If that works, good. I just thought it would involve a lot of time to get the model, set up a shoot and convert her into a SB.
Not sure if Canadian SA differs from USA SA but here I've had success with SA. You have to talk to many girls before you get the one or two that work for you. But here most of the successful arrangements were girls who wanted to meet up for drinks/dinner and then have fun for an agreed upon price. They always say they're looking for a connection. But I believe that means a connection from my wallet to theirs and of course some gentlemanly manners and politeness goes far. Some US girls do want something long term or even some weekly allowance, but I always tell them that is something we work up to, not start out with.
How are some of the Canadian SA experiences. Are they ok with something casual, and monetary?
Biggest key to success is being a gentleman in your communications and being patient. "hey Babe wanna hook up" isn't going to get you anywhere. And go for the girls who aren't quit the model types. I've had the best success, and the best sex tbh, with girls who might be a little plain Jane and don't get a thousand messages from every horny guy looking for an SB.
