Is anyone actually doing "online only"?
We all have different standards and red lines regarding age, looks, weight, price range, etc. I get that.
But is there anyone among us who is doing "online only" arrangements?
I can't even imagine how this would work.
Camshow sites have been around for 20 years. And back in the 1980's, there were the 1-900 lines. (As a high school kid in 1985, I once dialed a 1-900 line out of pure curiosity. I found it unsatisfying and boring. And I had a *lot* of fun trying to explain that one to my parents when it appeared on the family phone bill.).
I just can't imagine what any of these girls is providing that would enable them to make any real money with an "online arrangement". Am I missing something here?
Why so many of the women on Seeking are older
[QUOTE=Decatur21;5839431]Anyone else notice how much older the girls are on Seeking lately? Seems like 60% or more are 30 or older and almost 90% are over 25. I understand why there are more older ones since it is being marketed as a dating site now, but where are all the younger girls? It seems like it's the same amount of girls showing green as always, but way older now. Before maybe 1 in 10 were 30 or older and half were under 25.[/QUOTE]Part of it is likely the way the site is being marketed. In the beginning, the tagline was, "find a sugar daddy for tuition." Now it's "start dating up". That is catnip to women over 30, who are starting to feel their biological clocks ticking. (Wait until they learn that the average SD is a married man twice their age, who wants to pay them $300 for ppm! Ha!
The Millennials (who were the original sugar babies of 2009-2014) are now entering early middle age. I suspect that some of the older ones on Seeking today are returnees. Also, the Millennials (the oldest of whom are now 40) were the original online generation. In 1999, Yahoo magazine ran an article about "camwhores", who were teen girls selling naughty pics online (and probably meeting for cash, too.) Well, an 18-year-old girl of 1999 is 41 in 2022!
I don't have kids. But I'm a GenXer (early 50's), and it seems that today's parents hover over their young adult children like hawks. They track their adult kids' whereabouts with iphone apps and whatnot. My best friend from high school has a 23-year-old daughter, and the girl's mother still tracks her location via a smartphone app. It's insane. For us, though, the upshot is probably that 18 to 23 year-old young women are subject to a lot more parental monitoring than was the case just a few years ago.
Finally, the lingering effects of COVID and the labor shortages. I think that will rebound, though, as most of the free COVID money is gone now, and inflation is providing an incentive for people to seek extra sources of income. (We may see a new crop of economically motivated providers and SBs before the end of 2022.).
In short: I have noticed it, too. And those of you who've read my prior posts know how I feel about "mature" providers and sugar babies: I have zero interest in them! But I believe the causes are multiple, and (hopefully) temporary. If I wanted older women I'd join Silver Singles!
