Time keeping is part & parcel of the effort in my book. If the girl or her storyline doesn't appeal to me I don't pursue her, or if she's in the Main storyline only as much as required.I have no issue with extra effort, it's time keeping thats my issue lol.
(If Tinkerer were to link some of the side girls into the Main in the future, that would change the calculus for a lot of players...)
