My amount of mongering actually increased significantly after I discovered Costa Rica and this great forum. When I was younger, say 10 years ago, I tried a few ******* that I located in the yellow pages. Had one or two good times, but was for the most part severely dissapointed.
After returning from Costa Rica I knew I could not wait 6 months or a year to have such great times again. Started reading a local board of a national forum, that while good is not as good as CRT, and doing a lot of research. Hooked up with a few ladies that were traveling through DC/Balt. from Florida agencies, and had nice times with really hot ladies. The typical charge was $300. However, while these ladies were offering gfe's (dfk and bbbj), it did not really feel like a gfe (more like a factory experience).
Then I tried a few local agencies and independents. It required a lot of research, which was fun, but I found a few ladies that looked awesome and provided great experiences. With most of these ladies the experiences got better with each visit, for example bbbj's became bbbjcim's. They have all been between 20 and 26. Each now offers me a nice discount, as I visit almost every other week. The charge is $200 or less and I am often there for well over an hour. My favorite (who is 23) often calls me up the day before an appointment to see if I want to grab a lunch and hang out before our appointment. Unfortuantely, she is the exception as opposed to the rule. I try to have two regulars I am seeing, in case one leaves the business (which happens often), and am constantly looking for someone special to add to the rotation.
Following is a link to a new lady I have been seeing:

She is the only latin lady I have been seeing and is true to her roots, in that she is often late and hard to contact. She provides a great experience though. The pictures of her face are blurred, but she is quite attractive. Although the pics do accurately reflect her nice tight body, with the blurred face I am not 100% sure they are her. Just wanted to mention that because while most of the guys on the board believe they are her pics, one or two do not. No one questions that she is hot though.
Just as many have found here, two keys to success are research and behaving like a gentleman.
