The Seeking game at the close of 2021
[QUOTE=TheWolverineJP;5700210]Hello all, I'd taken a break for a while but I'm back now! Seems like the Seeking game is the same as before, anything worth noting?[/QUOTE]I landed a few good ones in 2021, just like I landed a few good ones in 2020. I define "good ones" as college-aged (under 26) and reasonably priced ($300 or less).
However, it took a *lot* more work than it did just a few years ago.
Seeking has always attracted a certain number of scammers, GPS girls, and delusional ladies who think that there are legions of men just waiting to send them online money. The difference is that in the past, there were also many attractive young women who were willing to hook up for a reasonable amount.
So you could ignore the scammers and the fakes, because they were a small percentage of the total. Now the scammers and the fakes comprise roughly half of the profiles on the site. And most of the real women on Seeking are older ladies who have been on the site for years, like the recently discussed Amor_fati.
I think the COVID economy has exacerbated the situation. It's extremely expensive to hire anyone to do anything right now, and there is no reason why this should be any different. Look at the selection of escorts on Tryst: It's all old and overweight women asking for fees that used to be reserved for the young hotties.
And speaking of "hotties": As is always the case, the more refined your tastes, the harder it is to find what you want. I don't want them over 30 (with very few exceptions), overweight, or rough-looking. So I have not been spending much money on escorts and SBs of late.
Now, the good news: I've been hobbying, off and on, since the 1990's. Prices, quality, and abundance have always been cyclical. The early 2000's absolutely sucked. But then in 2009, things took off, with new escorts and the whole sugar baby scene.
Fast food restaurants are still paying $500 signing bonuses. Until the labor market returns to normal, I don't see a return to the days when there were scores of hot-looking 20-something women available for $300.
As for me: I will monitor the situation, but I am not going to spend the money until market conditions improve, I. E. , until prices go down and the quality and selection improve.
I think I saw her at Cheeks NYE
