A warning about what we're in for
I'm sure most of us know that GPS has increased heavily over the years, but I encourage those of you who are on seeking to take a look at some of the latest blog posts the site uploaded that have popped up on the main page of the site, as it's a sign as to where we're headed with the current dynamic, as it seems like the women are being guided in a way that enhances a lot of bad habits and is encouraging the rise of the GPS era. The rise of social media has contributed heavily of course, but now it seems like the site itself has decided to triple down on the hard Ls we've been seeing them take these past few years, with the most recent thing being the removal of certain filters in the site's search engine. Not sure if those of you who don't have a current account can see these blog posts, but I'll link them here regardless so active members can see it (I can imagine that a lot of people spend time using their specific searches on the site rather than checking out the home page):
- Why "Too Much Is Exactly the Right Amount" - [URL]https://blog.seeking.com/why-too-much-is-exactly-the-right-amount?utm_source=onsite-seeking&utm_medium=onsite&utm_campaign=too-much[/URL].
I'll post a quote from the blog post: "Here's the shift: wanting more isn't a dealbreaker. It's a deal filter. Read that again. If someone thinks your standards are "too high," they're telling you everything you need to know. You may want to keep looking. You're not dating to impress everyone—you're dating to connect with the one who gets it. ".
- Why We Removed Net Worth and Income Fields and Introduced New Changes - [URL]https://blog.seeking.com/why-we-removed-net-worth-and-income-fields-and-introduced-new-changes?utm_source=onsite&utm_campaign=reasonswhy[/URL].
Regarding the removal of weight: "We replaced the "Body Type" field with "Weight" because body type is inherently subjective and can lead to misunderstandings or unrealistic expectations. Providing a specific measurement like weight allows members to have a clear, factual reference, minimizing ambiguity. Additionally, specifying weight encourages honesty and transparency in profiles, leading to more genuine connections based on true physical attributes rather than subjective interpretations. ".
While I can understand the removal of Net Worth and Income (because in the grand scheme of things, most men on the site are not going to reveal their true source of income or net worth, nor should they for privacy's sake), the body type filter being removed is a straight up bad idea, and bogs down our searches. The encouragement to be even more GPS has been a thing for years, but it seems like they're really wanting to push that further than ever, and it's making average women think they deserve more for being. Average.
It's going to be a rough ride for the average man, especially with things such as Tinder adding height filters for the women to use to filter out men they don't want to see. It seems like most of the power of choice is being handed unnecessarily to the women in this current era, so it's bound to cause a lot of issues.
Some more new reports so you don't waste your time
I do have phone numbers to exchange if anybody wants to.
Maisy 26 Akron.
Classic scammer wants a deposit and sends you her number to text. Then she blocks you after you have read the message.

Sabrina 34 Akron.
Said she was into bbfscip and pleasing the guy then we met up and she expected 400 for a quickie. She was a mess looking rough and strung out. She is in NO WAY worth that much. 100 at best in her current look. Hard pass I sent her on her way.

A heads-up and some reports
Decided to do one more month of Seeking since I saw a few profiles that I was intrigued by. Some of the new "changes" are rolling out already. You can no longer say that you can give an "allowance. " The abbreviation "ppm" was already flagged, but now "allowance" is another word that is being flagged by their system. Just FYI.
Amy - [URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/9dcbbbd3-e12c-416a-a726-11635ffea172[/URL] - Seemed to be cool and DTF, but she's picky about who she wants to be with. Sent a picture and I wasn't her type, but she cordially turned me down upfront and I appreciated that, wishing her the best of luck in return. YMMV.
Kate - [URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/8cc65f4b-005b-4dcd-8123-e0fa502edad0[/URL] - If you like taller women, she's DTF. Didn't partake but may in the future. She seems cool.
Daisy - [URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/8bd072ad-6be0-4e7d-a130-d961fb8cc94d[/URL] - Messaged, no response yet.
Rose - [URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/9d62ce34-a715-4092-a04c-06a13c4bc700[/URL] - Messaged, no response yet.
Casey - [URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/403d5c2f-2eff-490d-becd-e700397d725a[/URL] - Messaged, and she's DTF. But I don't think she wants to drive out to Cleveland. Still in talking stages.
Taylor - [URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/d2cc69f0-22b9-43f3-9601-3935a885f6b0[/URL] - She's legit, but she was skeptical if I was real or not. Hit a bit of a stall. Might try to reengage soon.
Char - [URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/9ea2711a-8a90-4d0e-b79d-2a26397d06ea[/URL] - She's very DTF. Usually don't go for black / mixed girls (just a personal preference), but may partake. She's pretty down to earth and cool to talk to.
Kaylee - [URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/1fe0c8d1-adc6-40a3-8aa1-de2b03b03802[/URL] - Seen her a few times before in the past. Thicker, but very DTF. Was open to a lot. BBBJ, DATY, CFS / BBFSCIP. Had a bit of a falling out with her because she wanted more commitment than I was willing to give, so YMMV.
Maddie - [URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/95de87be-4233-4e43-966b-08c2aef3033d[/URL] - Cool girl. DTF and wants to get together soon. Might plan something out with her down the line.
Alexis - [URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/abb7973e-1f58-4c77-a1a1-45d2329bf93b[/URL] - Good time, slim body. But wants 400-500. I had fun when I saw her at 300. BBBJ, DATY, CFS. She's friends with one other SB on the site, but not sure who.
Mariamarie - [URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/c0b8fdff-33b7-4b1c-8f53-4ddeb737f304[/URL] - Posting her again because she's a good time. Very sweet girl too.
Amber - [URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/9c894506-308e-4bfc-8c59-af263cc274f7[/URL] - Seems legit, just haven't gotten together yet with her.
