Non Pro's

At 33 you should be getting everything for free that I am paying for at 60.

[QUOTE=BoBroBgobs;5495731]Recently got back into SA to freshen up my rotation but have been striking out a bit more with the top-tier girls from the 18-25 old range. Most of them have been because they are into or want older guys than me (I'm 33). And this probably might be worse with the 25+ ones, though I never go for them. Anyway, you older guys must have the proper good pickings from the 18-25 range, you lucky bastards![/QUOTE]

If you haven't already heard, google is banning 'sugar daddy apps' from the play store beginning Sep 1. Any thoughts on how this will / won't affect the market? I know they've been banned from the iphone appstore, but something about this feels pessimistic.

I just use the browser to login when using my phone. Truth is I do most of my browsing on laptops anyway. I mean I do not mind doing a quick search on the phone. But if I want to spend time researching and looking at pics etc. I have always preferred a larger screen and more comfortable keyboards. But yeah I use i phones and SA has been blocked in their app store for a while now.

I actually prefer the website simply because it's easier to type en masse on a computer than on a phone. However, that doesn't seem to be the way that these women tend to communicate. Without the app, they won't get notified when they're contacted and a lot of these women already have trouble remembering to check their messages. In the end, the women will have to adjust and I'm not sure if they'll be able to do it.

While less convenient, they could just have you download the app directly from their website.

Seems now that every profile asks "have you seen my gift list? I've been inactive awhile (had a longer term SB so not seeking) but seems new to me. It's fine to ask I suppose, do any of you guys send gifts from the site (who must get a % of the charge)? If so have you seen any benefit in hit rate with the women you seek?

My estimate is that about 60-65 percent of the profiles are fake.

[QUOTE=Twister100;5498063]they could just have you download the app directly from their website.[/QUOTE]I'm pretty sure this isn't supported on iPhone. Unless I'm mistaken, you'd have to side-load the SA app from an existing app (that came from the store).

If that's the case, I could see SA setting a more mobile friendly version of their website.

It'll basically be like an app, only that you won't get any notifications.

Even if these may not be guys scamming, those are just these girls trying to get as much attention as possible with an intention to scam.

[QUOTE=MarkoRamius;5495777]I rarely partake with girls under 25. While there are a few gems in the under-25 age group most of them don't know their way around a cock and are often hilariously inexperienced. That can be fun some of the time, true.

All of the really good ones I have found have been 26 or older.[/QUOTE]By top tier, I do just mean the superficial look. And you're correct, some of them are inexperienced but I enjoy that I can take control and teach them in a way. The top-tier 26 or older always give a sense of high maintenance which I don't really want to deal with. Or maybe, I'm just not looking at the right places or the right ones.

Looks really cute, but total GPS. Quoted me $2 k for ppm.

Hello all I'm visiting from VA and looking for someone to spend some time with this weekend. I prefer slim AA women but seeing that I'm visiting I don't have a lot to choose from. Anyone with contact information or willing to share a number or two would be great.

Seems like a recipe for disappointment and loss of funds.

There was a PDX-based SB who asked me to pay for her RT train travel to SEA. Our text exchange was positive and I was intrigued by her pics. I paid her travel expenses and we had a 3-hour date. It was fine, she was attractive and engaging but I doubt I'll pay anything, travel expenses included, in advance again. I'd rather use that money to boost my local spending.
