Been punting for quite a number of years and just wanted to ask if the cost of living crisis at the moment is stopping punters punting, or whether punters are punting less?

I asked the same question in another forum (Australian one) and we even started a poll. 1 cost of living, 2 the quality of the service has gone downhill 3 the quality of the girls

I have becoming a sounding board for two separate single female friends, both are looking for Mr Right.
They both have a lot to offer, educated, fun, and both have a high sex drive. But both have had poor experiences with dating, struggle to meet a solid guy that can hold their interest.

My advice to you;
Put yourself in situations where you are able to meet women, and have brief conversations with them. You need to make opportunities where you think you might meet women. You will fail a lot, and have a lot of disappointment, but the thing is to just keep trying.
I was the same when I was younger, I joined dating agency's, joined groups. My early 30s, I even went back to school and did a 3 year diploma course part time. Not because i needed an education, just did it for fun,and i just wanted to meet new people, particularly women. It was the best thing I ever did. I even got a dog, and went to dog parks on weekends. You'd be surprised how many women come up and chat when you have a dog. But yeah, it's really hard out there.

It is a Very expensive pastime. An average punt costs about $350 or so. Therefore, two punts and we are already down $700. With SC or TA, two punts you are down 740. That's already a lot of money! A third punt and now we are running well over a thousand dollars. That's why a bad or below average punt is just so painful! Yes it's called punting, I get that, but it still hurts when a sex worker does not deliver on what is advertised. And yes, we have to move on to the next one but the wallet takes a massive knock like that.

With regards to finding a partner or girlfriend or friend with benefits, it is extremely difficult. Auckland has so many gorgeous girls or ladies, yet it is almost impossible to even get close to any of those beautiful women. They are always on their fucking cellphones and also have those fucking earphones. It is extremely difficult. Yes, for handsomer and/ or young guys, it is far easier of course. But for guys like me, who is Indian too, it is an uphill battle! That's why I punt: it is the only way and the quickest way, albeit very expensive, to meet younger and beautiful ladies and of course have sex with them, to enjoy their company for just an hour or less. To be brutally honest here, this is the only way I can currently get close to a White, Chinese, Pacifica girl etc. It's very sad but true. Auckland, so many beautiful women around, but might as well be a desert for guys like me. And you can forget trying to strike up a friendly conversation with women in the city or CBD. Fuck no, you can't even say hello! Seriously you cannot even greet any of these ladies let alone chat with them!

I agree it can be hard dating in NZ.

Can your family get you a hot little Indian wife from India? One of my Indian mates was single and his family sent him over a lovely lady to marry.

Alternatively if you want a girl from another race have you tried dating apps or going on holiday to somewhere like the Philippines or Thailand? I know a few Indian guys who have got into relationships with girls from other races. It is rare but it can happen.

Mate, can't figure out what exactly, but there is something very weird about the way you think of finding relationship outside of punting. Not sure what your moves are, but I can promise you, it's not gonna work that way.
Be realistic and set your expectations right. I also want to fuck the most beautiful girls in the world, but somehow I know that's not very feasible.
If you need something more than a casual fuck and are looking for girlfriend, what's wrong with dating someone from your own race? Also, I'm sure, not every white, asian or whatever color woman here is racist.
Make some change to your life in a way where you will be surrounded by more women. I know, it sucks but they won't be (and don't have to be) necessarily the hottest in Auckland. But that's how life works no matter where you come from, when you don't look like Brad Pitt.

Yep going up to random women in the streets almost never works for anyone, even the best looking young men. Women usually have their guard up when randomly approached in public and for good reason given they don’t know you or your intentions. NZ culture can be quite reserved too.

Getting the prettiest young chicks can be challenging also because they have many options and can be flighty.

If you are an older man i think with the right attitude and presentation it’s feasible to find attractive 30 or 40 something women on dating apps and have good dates, good sex and a relationship. When you set your expectations appropriately the world is a very fun place.

I wonder if it is a thing in NZ but in SEA, they have blind dating in-person events where you pay a little bit of money to attend. Guys and girls are vetted, so you're less likely to get scammed. The higher end ones also do background checks to see if you're a qualified candidates. If I'm single and want to get back into a serious relationship, I think that'd be the most efficient approach.

I have never been to one of these sorts of events but I know there are speed dating events here in Auckland.

In Southeast Asia I found I got so many matches on the dating apps that I wouldn’t need something like this. The huge number of horny girls wanting to meet a man in SE Asia is overwhelming.

Yeah dating app would work too. Just too many scammers on there lately, especially from SEA. Maybe I'm wrong, but I have a feeling that NiceGuy might fall for one of those if he's not careful 🤣

There were some scammers when I used the apps too but the vast majority were horny girls who wanted foreign dick.

Got some mates who use “Bumble ?” Unpaid version. Looking for LTR. They get messages from females who are only looking for ONS or Asian women here on holiday for NSA hookups. Both in 60’s. Some of the Asian profiles look quite good.

Nice! Your friends are an inspiration. Do they shag the women? How old are the Asian women?

It really is difficult to find even a casual friend in Auckland.
I'm not sure if it's possible to get an Indian lady from India to specifically come here for me.
The question is: where are the beautiful Indian ladies in Auckland? I only see them in the Diwali show in Queens Street, and they are usually with their families.

I am a bit scared of dating apps. Too many scammers there. Also I'm not keen to put my photo on a dating app, and also I am very hesitant to put my credit card details on a dating app.
In fact, I did try a dating app some years ago, and it turned out be the biggest load of bullshit and waste of time and energy. Maybe I'm not using the correct dating apps. Irrespective, my photo online on such an app would put me in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.

It sounds like you have some problems with fear that are stopping you meeting others. You have to be willing to put yourself out there if you want to meet others as friends or especially as romantic partners. You cannot get pussy by being a pussy.

Why would putting your photo on a dating app put you in the spotlight for the wrong reasons? It is normal expected behaviour for dating app users to put a photo on their dating app profile. Tinder, Bumble and Hinge are proper businesses so I would not be scared of using my credit card with them. You can always cancel your subscription if you do not want to pay anymore.

Dating apps are not magic machines. There are ups and downs using them - some matches don't lead to anything, some dates go nowhere. However, they are a good way to meet women who you would never otherwise meet. You can talk to lots of women there too. I have met some lovely women off them.

I can assure you will never met a girl if you don't put yourself out there. I think the best thing you could do now would work on your general social skills, gain some courage and stop being so scared.

Mr. Niceguy, no one is going to scam you on any dating app/platform unless you want to be scammed. Let me explain that in punting terms - no hoe has ever stollen my deposit because I never pay deposits. Think with your big head, not the small one and you will be fine.
As massagefan said, these are reputable apps and no one is stealing your credit card info. in case you are so paranoid about that, there's Revolut, Wise etc. And regarding the picture I can bet you have it on way more exposed places I.e. Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram or whatever else you are using. So, trust me mate, no one cares about you or your picture in a dating app. From all the above I'm suspecting you are not married, so nothing to worry about.

If you are worried about the credit card thing set up a separate bank account suffix with its own debit card then just transfer the payment over each month. Or like others have said use wise or PayPal even. It's 2026 there are plenty of ways around most problems. Also yes dating or meeting people is hard these days but you have too put yourself out there to be seen. For every 1 woman I get a number off or pull I've spoken to atleast 3 if not 5 more. The world is so much smaller now with technology you just need to use it too your advantage. Door swings both ways aswell it's not always easy for females either. Just be confident and don't be afraid of rejection, it happens to everyone at some stage.
