Seeking's image reboot (attempt)
[QUOTE=WanderingAbout;5777435]We launched in 2006 at Seeking, the premier dating website for sugar babies and sugar daddies. As times have changed, so have we. We welcome anyone looking for a premium online dating experience. Our continuing mission at Seeking is to help members find relationship success by providing a platform that encourages honesty between partners. Seeking members are sophisticated individuals who wish to date attractive and successful people in a way that goes beyond typical social dating traditions and trends.
Seeking's attempt to project itself as a sophisticated dating site for the elite and encourage honesty (amongst all the scammers) is like putting paint on a pig.[/QUOTE]If you got the email, this all about Brandon Wade finding true love.
I remember back in the old days (circa 2011), it wasn't just seeking. There was also sugardaddyforme and sugardaddie-dot-com.
At the time, Seeking (then Seeking Arrangements) was the best of the bunch, and became the market leader.
Things have changed. I would say that Seeking's position is "ripe for disruption" as they say. It is rapidly becoming as pretentious as Match or eHarmony, and as scam-ridden as Ashley Madison or Friendfinder.
I bailed on secret benefits fast
[QUOTE=Mikse;5777939]Newb question: it seems like all of the posts here focus on seeking arrangements. Does anyone here use secret benefits? I like the verified feature they have but is there a downside that site?[/QUOTE]The selection on SB was impressive at first. I worked to connect with a few before paying using their profile clues. I was getting nowhere.
Then a woman I knew sent me a message. I reached out to her directly and asked if she meant to write me there. She said she hadn't.
The site generates a lot of fake messages and photo access invitations so guys use up lots of credits. I decided not to put any money into that machine and closed my account.
I also got in contact with another woman from there. She'd given up on it a long time ago. The site made her appear active.
Maybe some are real, but I decided the value wasn't there for me.
Switter closing not Tryst
The way I ready the actual statement is that only Switter is shutting down.
I'll put the rest in Rants.
[QUOTE=RogerOver;5779355]Tryst is closing too. Maybe that will help with the automatic $200 price bumps when they post ads there.
"In a statement on Monday, Assembly Foura collective of sex workers and technologists who run Switter, as well as advertising site Tryst would shut down permanently on March 14. ".

Sugar Daddy Meet: A Viable Alternative?
This is an interesting report. Since others have said SDM is a dry hole, can you say more about your process? Perhaps you could post some pictures of your successes? Without giving too much away? In the past, I dismissed reports like yours due to poor personal experience. Now, though, with Seeking at risk of changing its nature, I think it is time to branch out and start exploring how to be successful on other sites. We need backups and alternatives. The need carries mounting weight as Seeking regularly increases its price while decreasing its value. It is hard for me to believe all the other sites are just giving up and abandoning the market completely to Seeking. Especially if Seeking is abandoning the market also.
Thanks much in advance!
BAM.
[QUOTE=UnoMas2022;5787268]Sugar Daddy Meet has worked for me. I have three Dayton area UTRs from that site. Beware the catfishers and the CashAppers and the fakes, but if you're looking for a non-pro with low expectations it's fishing in a barrel.[/QUOTE]
Catfishing A SB: What's your story
Something a little different for this forum.
Anyone ever catfish their current Sugar Baby after she tells you she is not seeing anyone else, says she is not on any sugar websites, and you see her active on Seeking or Secret Benefits?
If yes, how did you mess with her? What was the end result?
No SB is exclusive, and you should not expect otherwise
And if you expect otherwise, then you should probably be on eHarmony, and not Seeking.
If you're handing a woman cash to be with you, she's not your girlfriend, plain and simple. Any expectations to the contrary are going to result in heartbreak and disappointment.
I recently took up with a very young, very hot SB whom I *know* is seeing another member of this board. When I asked her if she was already seeing anyone else, she looked me in the eye and said "no".
I find that 98% of the SBs I meet, even if they've been on the site for 2 years, assure me that I am not only their *only* guy at present, I am the only guy they have *ever* gone beyond the MnG stage with.
It's just a part of the game. Just like the many married SDs who withhold that information.
Get this, and get this good: SBs are not girlfriends you pay, SBs are escorts with whom you have a more informal, relaxed relationship.
And escorts, by nature, are communal women, free agents. So are SBs.
