Just as a followup to the last post: if in fact as posted by the Mods Ricky Bonds was getting freebies for reviews, he got those freebies because he likely has persuasive verbal communications skills and other talents (looks, body language) talking to the girls that most guys do not possess. I never met Ricky, but from his posts, I sense an ability to talk smoothly with women. Many guys I have seen, at VIP events and such, freeze up with the girl. I can recall one MERBiste in particular who at a party, when a certain SP walked into the room, spoke to me of his immense fear in trying to approach her and talk to her. Women read these body language cues; they are attracted to confident and intelligent men. If all else is equal in looks and hygiene, the guy who gets a better mileage or service is one whose presence is comfortable to the SP, and who also projects confidence. My best guess is that Ricky, if he did rack up sessions that were freebies, possessed these talents and skills in spades. Whether he told the girls he was opening an MP in Laval or was the son of the Molson family doesn't really matter. He was a persuader and one must have the verbal skills, the intelligence and the body language to pull it off. Very few true cheapass guys have any real combination of those talents. The execution and art of persuading women to have sex for free is not easy and it's like a football or hockey team performing at a high level, there must be great execution on each play. Not everyone can do it- in fact, very few guys can. It is easy for rich guys to get women, but at the working class level these other skills are paramount.
