Do you think she reported the discussion?
Or did the site somehow monitor your message? Sorry that happened. That's such bullshit.
[QUOTE=JimInbMore;5757142]I've been permanently banned from Seeking. A paying customer for quite a number of years, I've had many, many women blatantly solicit me and I indicate I'm not interested. I'm quite careful not to associate sex with money. My mistake apparently was asking the question 'Doesn't mutually beneficial imply financial support?' after a chat partner made it clear that she was interested in something mutually beneficial with financial support. Seems a little hard line to me. Took them all of 2 minutes to invoke the ban.
Any of you had success reversing a ban of this nature?[/QUOTE]
Time Waster and Pissed off Crazy SB
[QUOTE=WhoKnows;5759360]This one called me out in chat for asking about ppm. She even sent me the rules list.

She is crazy in my opinion and tried to meet me under complete different number. She should be avoided at all cost.

[QUOTE=UnsungHero;5773730]Bad experience with this girl:
[URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/08252dcf-8c55-4100-99f2-427a24186d07[/URL]
Sweet talked me into texting. Texted honey and asked for some dick pics and later said would call on the cops if I sent her any more text to her. Must be a dude in disguise of a girl.
.[/QUOTE]So, she had another profile saying she was 24. Been texting her for weeks. Planning to meet weekend after next.
Wk.
Chatted with a couple of these

Planning a meet soon. I see she's long timer on SA (since 2016) Seems pretty broad minded. Anyone has an experience?

I know she's reviewed a lot in this forum. Will go considering she's a pro. Anything latest on her?
—most of reports on this one are that she is a pretty unenthusiastic partner.

Looks incredibly hot. Haven't discussed the price yet.
—chatted with this one and got to texting, but hitting me up for funds for her mom and stuff like that, so a red flag.

It's a three minute video. In short:
*the founder of Seeking, Brendon Wade, is getting married.
*he's excessively emotional / serious about this.
*he's "transforming Seeking" (tomorrow, Feb 14) into a dating platform for success-minded individuals.
*they will shed the "Arrangement" part entirely.
Hard to say what this is going to mean in practice. "Officially" it feels like the same rules as before. But I anticipate increased crackdowns on forbidden verbiage, at a minimum.
Stay safe.

Iykyk.
I almost don't want to post her name, it takes half a page to clear up which one she is, ha. Is it crofton, CB, Brooklyn Park, millersville.
Interesting that she hasnt updated the fact that she is with child (and showing), will be quite the surprise for a SD that meets her
I see a big divorce settlement

W.[/QUOTE]Ok let me get this right? You meet a girl of your sight now your mindset is different. You getting married no pre-nup at all and you changing the name? Ok he is either.
A P88 ywhipped.
B A straight simp.
C. Trying to maybe dodge some type of Fed regulations.
D All of the above LOL I'm not buying that he just all of a sudden CHANGED I guarantee that once things get legal it won't last but maybe two years and she going to take him to the cleaners.
More likely E. None of the above

Quick google search estimates SA revenue (not income) $30-40 million / year. Match revenue, $2. 8 billion. Hard to find good current info, but they estimate 22 million members. In 2012 Wade himself estimated SA had 10 million members, 8 million SB, 2 million SD. Revenue was $10 million. SA was grossing an average of $5/ SD per year.
I've been curious about the SB scene, but most things I read on this forum are not likely to convince me to switch to a paying account. And if anything, sounds like things are getting worse. Its just my opinion, but I suspect that paying memberships are declining.
This Wade guy has a pretty impressive background. MIT, software engineer, Booz Allen. He's trying to leverage SA into a more lucrative market. Who knows, maybe he would like to be bought out. Hopefully not much changes on the SD-SB side, maybe appearing to be more mainstream brings in new members who are intrigued by the more risqu aspect of SB, but we're previously hesitant to join. To the guys who have paid memberships, are there any changes indicating they are trying to actually restrict SD / SB activities? Great he found love, whatever. Probably didn't have a prenup in his first marriage and needs the money. She probably got half of SA, LOL. Tell me about it. As in most things, follow the money.
It's absolutely about money

Incredibly shady. I think the price increase really hurt them, as members dropped off.
I got multiple messages trying to convince me to re-up before the price increase. Then this month they started offering a 25% discount for Valentines day. Still a NO from me dog. Then I get a message yesterday that I can still get the 25% discount is I act immediately. Smells of desperation.
Then today when I log into my backup account, several weird things happen. 1) No challenge to my using an incognito browser. Previously as part of their increased "security" I had to verify with a code when logging in from a masked browser. 2) I immediately got a pop-up offering a 33% discount on a membership. Still a no.
I think they are having serious financial issues. The site has gone way downhill from 2015 When I joined for a month and had great success. Oh well.
Norm!!
Tip 2: Don't get your hopes up. It takes time to find the gems.
[QUOTE=JackInGsid;5786407]Hi guys. First time exploring being an SD, no idea how to go about it. I've been checking all the forums for tips and am taking notes before I dive in. I liked this girl and wanted to see if any of you have already met her and see if it is worth pursuing. A big thank you in advance.[/QUOTE]You'll be met with lots of disappointment. Just keep casting the net and talking to women. Some other tips.
- If you get someone that goes right to text, they're probably a pro. But that's good. At least you know what you're dealing with. They want to get right to a PPM price and then make a decision if it's worth it or not. Don't try to make these one's your girlfriend and don't try to set up a "coffee date" unless they suggest it. Just set up an hour to meet at a hotel and get to it.
- I don't like to set up first "Dinner Dates" with anyone. Dinner is too much of a time commitment. So get some coffee or a drink or meet up in a public spot for 10 minutes. I don't usually pay for a simple meet up, but it's happened.
- If you're looking for your SB to be your girlfriend, I'm not so sure that's a good move. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there are hot 20-something year old girls that really like hanging out with old fat farts (possibly speaking for myself).
- I wouldn't try to "get to know them" on the site. Just exchange a few chats, make a dumb joke or two and then set up a meeting. Don't ever discuss dollar amounts in SA. You'll likely get banned, unless you use very generic language.
- If you don't have a burner phone or a phone app (CoverMe), get one.
Good luck and keep us all posted on your successes.
