Has anybody actually bumped into an IE whilst out and about? I guess as long as your spouse didn't see your initial surprised reaction you could easily play it cool and walk on by, giving a knowing smile of course.

I bumped into his wife, does that count? 😝

I don’t do travellers, I don’t do travelling sales men. When they say they are happy to travel, they’re not!
My personal preference is keep it local ish, up to an hour away. Works for me.

I really don’t travel at all. I do admire the people who do though 😊

I don’t have enough time. But the guys I’ve got on with all live bleedin’ miles away. I’m happy to meet half way. And if I’m really liking someone I’ll travel to them. But… the meets wouldn’t be as regular as I’d like. That’s the compromise.
One day I’d love to meet someone closer to home within a half hour drive. To be exclusive. That would be perfect. But until then .. needs must.

Never bumped into an IE ….

As long as we can meet in London on regular basis I’m ok with that👍🏻 working super well at the moment we’re on opposite sides of London. I was at the theatre near where my IE lives / I told him we never crossed paths

However, the 'traveller for work'? Not for me either.

Distance is a TOTAL ball ache and a pain in the arse...and not even the good type of pain in the arse! What on earth could it be that would possibly make someone travel hours to get to a specific lover, over a convenient one, I wonder ? ? ? ? 😉

If what you want is convenient sex and something fun to fill a gap (pardon the pun) then those are very realistic and adequate expectations that should be able to be met within a 90 minute radius.

If you want the fireworks you might have to open your remit, because it is so rare, and unique to each person. For me I don't think it can be found on my doorstep. I seem to need something other for the 'Attraction Claxton' to sound. 'Convenient' doesnt work as a sexy adjective to me.

“Mine” plural redfirefox? How do you have enough time?!

I’ve had a thing with a guy who visited my location with work. He was great but he was only here once a month and if I wasn’t free on those specific evenings we couldn’t meet. We were basically very occasional fuck buddies. I don’t think the work travel affairs work personally and would avoid in the future

I have to admit that I’m one of those work travelers and adjust my search accordingly (it’s one region rather than national or global).
The main theme for this is the opportunity rather than a girl in every port (hello sailor!). We have to be realistic about actually meeting and spending time together and unless someone is within a couple of miles the opportunities don’t stand out in my experience. When they do, there are all the complications that have been well pointed out.
As others have said, it doesn’t make me a player (I’ve neither the time or energy for more than one affair!) and it can broaden horizons, and maybe make one put a little extra effort in?
Clearly individual circumstances will apply.
