The Problem Is Other Markets and SA Propaganda
[QUOTE=PaytoPlay;5080315]Agreed that you can find deals out there. I have a recurring sb for 2 per meet. But it is also like a needle in the haystack. It's all about your budget and tolerance for missing out. Now what I don't understand in the girls expecting 800 and up.[/QUOTE]IMHO there are several factors driving this.
1. There are other locations where rates appear to be much higher than here, think Silicon Valley, NYC. That gets publicity even on mainstream media, and distorts what SBs perceive to be normal.
2. SA propaganda is that the world is full of whales, and they can get hundreds for just looking pretty, let alone opening their legs. That influences SB perception. I have communicated with a fair number who seem really convinced that they just have to sit back, and 4-5 k per month will be theirs.
3. Those who need cash tend to be realistic, but a large percentage of the SBs are (I think) just chancing their arm. That is, they don't need the money (or don't seem to), and are happy to text, in the off-chance that a whale will come along. (They also think whales are more common than they really are, see 2.).
4. The FOSTA inspired death of various outlets has put up escort prices, seemingly leading to a flood of Johns into the SB world, Johns who are used to paying a lot more for very little.
Take an Escort Approach, and You Will Find an Escort
[QUOTE=Koolbeans;5086398]They quoted 30 min. , but I said hour. It seems like they are using google like us to figure out their rates. Found [URL]https://sugardaddyy.com/guide/sugar-baby-allowance[/URL].
I'll see how things go and if they are not worth the $ then keep moving to next one.[/QUOTE]Your whole approach is that of picking up an escort type woman, and that is what you are getting.
Difficulty Getting 33% Discount to Apply?
I got an email this morning saying there is a Holiday discount of 33% off membership, until Monday.
However, when I go to the Upgrade page, the discount does not show. It always showed automatically with previous offers. Using the link in the offer email similarly fails to bring up the discount.
Anyone else having this issue?
Please elaborate on your technique.
[QUOTE=Splenda;5086959]For reference, I've never once done a meet and greet and have closed dozens. And it would be more if I didn't live in far north county. Girls act like north county might as well be Seattle. All of whom I CIP. I've found the best way to ask is if they're on birth control. Lots of information from that simple question. And you'd be surprised how many of them insist on condoms and then change their minds once you're inside them. I have several that don't expect any allowance at all.
By the way, there seems to be an influx of fake accounts all with the same profile naming convention. Usually a name followed by four numbers. So holly1234 for example. They also tend to only have exactly one sentence written in their "about me section" and it is appropriately vague.[/QUOTE]Would love to see the quality of SB's you are pulling without a meet and greet! 100% of the 18-23 year old's I meet insist on a meet and greet and whenever I suggest simply meeting at the FC or starting the arrangement right away I am either ghosted or blocked! So really really curious about your "I've never done a meet and greet". I'm guessing you are working the heavy mileage, older, pro / semi-pro angle. ?
Got another email. Discount seems to work this time

Anyone else having this issue?[/QUOTE]SA seem to be such a bunch of incompetents. The email I got yesterday offering a 33% discount simply did not work. Got another today, which did. Go figure.
But another issue has come up. Says CC has to be able to accept international transaction. All the anonymous prepaid cards that I know of are US domestic only. Any solutions? I saw references somewhere (Richmond board) to paying with Bitcoin, but I see no option for that.
Will probably also ask on Richmond board.
It works if you're younger
[QUOTE=MaximusV;5087704]Would love to see the quality of SB's you are pulling without a meet and greet! 100% of the 18-23 year old's I meet insist on a meet and greet and whenever I suggest simply meeting at the FC or starting the arrangement right away I am either ghosted or blocked!

If I do it's a bar around the corner from my place. I'll never pay to meet them, just tell them I'll buy a couple drinks and see where it takes us. Usually I just get there number, start texting them, and after a week or so it's a done deal. I have met dozens and dozens of girls 19-24 years old that will come over to hang out and end up sleeping with them. Most of the time is CIP but not always.
I always get asked why I'm on there because I'm in my early 30's and in great shape. I tell them it's easier and less hassle than tinder or the other typical dating sites. I don't know others living situations or physical appearance but when you aren't loaded or have limited funds you can still pull plenty of beautiful young ladies off there. You need to know how to talk to them and be personable.
The girl I currently see now is off there. I see her weekly, a 22 year old student at one of the schools here. I have never given here a dime, she actually bought me stuff for my bday. It takes a little time to get your approach right and all that but put in that effort and the rewards are endless.
Stay safe.
Just be tactical in placing it
[QUOTE=RyanE36;5088127]Does trying to sneak a phone number or email into your profile on SA automatically result in a ban?[/QUOTE]I have put my fake mail and burner ph# before so far so good! But so far "Smart" chicks could not read thru lines.
I Used Vanilla Card For Years Also, But.
[QUOTE=KingBaby;5089159]Vanilla Prepaid Card is your friend.
I have been using it for yrs, without any issue. (It also has been mentioned here so many times.).[/QUOTE]Last two times I tried (two separate cards), it failed. SA have changed their CC processor several times over the years. Right now, SA site says that any credit card must allow international transactions. Vanilla Card does not allow that.
And what of Bitcoin?
I've Seen Scores Too, But Only Because Benjamin is Their Friend

[/QUOTE]SA was invented 30 years too late for me to be able to do that. I am the wrong side of LX, and even though I am in reasonable shape (at least pre-Covid), and also OK looking, it is clear that none of the many 18-26 yo women I have dated from SA would have any interest in me absent the fact that I bring their friend Benjamin along for the ride.
OneVanilla is What I Tried to Use
[QUOTE=FarFarAway;5089290]Just to be clear, it is OneVanilla Prepaid Debit card. There are also Vanilla gift cards available, IDK if those always work. And it's been like 6 months since I got a membership, what they do and don't take could change.[/QUOTE]One of the two cards was OneVanilla - what I used regularly over the years. When that was denied, I tried Vanilla gift. Also denied.
I am worried that they have changed CC processor again.
You Can't seem to Register OneVanilla or Vanilla Gift Cards Anymore
[QUOTE=JaySdMac;5090498]I have always used the vanilla gift card. It's the one where you choose the denomination and I just put $90 on it. When I use it on the site I enter a fake name with the address and zip code of the CVS that I buy it from. At first I had an issue doing that. Then doing some digging I read that other people had trouble because of the zip code. One of the ways to fix it was registering it. So instead I just used the zip code from where it was purchased and never had trouble. Try that and see if it helps.[/QUOTE]I remember registering OneVanilla and gift cards in the past. As you say, the key thing was to have a zip code associated with the card. That used to work just fine. But my most recent cards did not offer a registration option. You are now supposed to be able to use whatever address you care to enter. These recent non-registered cards are the ones that failed.
