My wife sugarlove and I are an active cuckold couple. I can tell you most of what you read and see is bs. My wife refuses to screen for new men because of the amount of bs men say to get her to chat. Then you have the men who just want to chat and not actually meet. For the female perspective my wife can tell you more but I do know she gets off better with a hung stud. The whys and how's you would have to ask her more.
On another level to maintain an already flourishing relationship we spent years working out the details. When things actually happened we had to scrap it all and just accept what was happening. It works for us but I will say with all certainty that it's not for everyone. If you want to chat feel free. I enjoy giving advice an sharing our stories.
Don't know why i'm chiming in to help but other than men lying completely out of there asses what else would be an issue to look out for? You said you had to scrap it all and accept what happened. What did you mean by that, if its ok my asking. Just thinking that might be helpful to someone thinking of trying it out. If it isn't too personal that is.
And for the record, i can't wrap my head around any of it. So this isn't one of those "my friend has this problem" sort of things. Although i am curious as to what could have happened so drasticly that you'd have to put it the way you did.
