How to quit punting?

[crum]

Yeah that kind sucks bro.

About 5 years ago, I started going out with a WL. I was only thinking about it on the flight to Melbourne this afternoon. I can still remember when she invited me to her work Christmas party and got to meet the boss and other WL's she worked with. It was a weird yet interesting time because I got to know the girls on a personal level and not as sex objects. One of her work colleagues told me it was the first time she had invited a customer (BF) to a work Christmas party. Not sure if it was true or not but I responded to the WL and said "come on that is bullshit". I then sat with another WL and spoke to her to which she said the same thing as well "She has never invited a customer to a Christmas party before". I knew at that point that it wasn't bullshit and that it was all true. There was numerous times that I had dinner with her and one of her close friends. It just felt like any other relationship. It was the best of times and the worst of times. I basically went through hell, came back, had a great time, back to hell then yeah, nervous break down for both of us.

But with all things, they eventually come to a end. It wasn't the fact she was a WL but other things came into play which ultimately ended it. Last I heard from a another WL regular is that she met someone and got married. She quit working and is now married with a normal job.

As I sit her in the terminal at Melbourne airport alone, all I can think of is the great times I've had punting. God its been a great time....

I've got similar experiences now dating ML's/WL's and it ending for cultural differences or falling out of love with each other after a while. Looking back on it now it's definitely interesting to think about how many women both exceptional and not that I've met over the years through the industry (one of my day jobs is in the SW industry but western side). My punting has definitely slowed down from when I was younger but now when I go I'm much more particular on where and who I see.

I still see WL's/ML's outside of their respective shops at times with those I have good relations with. I think when you start getting to know WL's/ML's outside of just punting, it changes your persepctive on it a lot, I know it has for me after dating a few girls in the industry, some still working and some have since found wealthy partners and retired.

Very easy to quit punting these days.

Respect your hard-earned $ and set some standards ( age, looks, body type). The poor talent these days guarantees a walk out.

Agree here, respecting your hard earned money to only punt for those that are worthwhile is a good way to reduce the # of punts you're taking. To stop altogether, I think I'd only be able to go completely cold turkey if I had a wife that ticked all the boxes.
