How I avoid entrapment schemes
[QUOTE=WanderingAbout;5774467]If you want to avoid getting banned have a general, civil conversation with your potential sugar baby for a bit then ask if they will text with you (use Textfree) or Whatsapp or Telegram or Signal or whatever app 'to discuss things further so you dont get into trouble on here (seeking)'. If the SB doesnt then ask to do a MnG to discuss.
Do not mention ppm or money of any kind or sex acts on Seeking. If you are inclined to do so alter your text at bit by substituting words or symbols and letters for numbers and vice-a-versa so Seekings system won't automatically flag you. Example: PPM becomes each get together or h at ngout. $300 become 3OO (capital o's and no $) etc. You get the idea. This wont stop a SB from reporting you but it will dodge the SA message scan for keywords that will flag your account
And there seems to be an usual number for profiles that randomly show up as of late where their first message is 'I'm available for hookup'. Just block them and move on unless you want to roll the dice. Could be real or something you didn't want. Up to you.[/QUOTE]These are all good points, but I take it a step further: I don't discuss any details in writing at all.
I only talk turkey when I'm actually talking: preferably via videochat, or at least on the phone. Or in person, depending on the circumstances.
I flat-out tell them (in writing): No conversation on the site is completely private, and I cannot discuss details here.
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.
