Seeking Arrangements

[QUOTE=Banjomania;7240562]After years on both Seeking and SB it is clear to me that the better action has shifted to SB. Seeking has too many fake profiles and still has not managed to police itself. SB weeds out the fakes with the little verification recording. Overall, SB is a clunky site and you need to watch for spending because it goes up the more people that you chat with, but the sheer volume of real profiles makes it a better hunting ground.[/QUOTE]It's interesting, my experience has been the opposite, I've had much better luck with SA, on SB I had trouble getting girls to reply to me for some reason, my profile was pretty much the same as SA so I don't know what the problem was.

I would have agreed with you until a year or so ago. And I agree that the SB website is stupid and aggravating, but in the demographic I look for (women 30-50) SB has been better by a wide margin for some time, for me at least.

Per this Reddit post, blackmailers are using facial recognition on SD pics, and then blackmailing you. [URL]https://old.reddit.com/r/sugarlifestyleforum/comments/1jlcdin/warning_i_just_got_blackmailed_be_careful_out/[/URL].

Anyone seen this one? She's pretty fine. Wants $400.

I posted about it here last week and got pushback. And on that Reddit thread, well I read it and there was quite a bit of "Bro you used your real phone number" when obviously he didn't.

It's a numbers game, and I'm out. Someone else can deal with having to go to their spouse with the impact of an "I'm being blackmailed" talk. Or for those who are single, or with a partner who doesn't care. . . It's not very impactful.

Agree. As I have communicated to some of my monger friends, I'm on a (hopefully brief) hiatus from SA until they tone down their requirement for verification and picture verification and improve their ability to accept gift cards. I've had a great run, checked all my boxes, and my bucket list right now is pretty empty. There's no reason for me to invite trouble, which is surely coming. Might be time to go back into the anonymous world of ladies reviewed on the other site and here. Although there's nothing like the amateur world of SA, the price to pay at present is too high for me.

Most Acct on SB are fake. At least from my experience.

[QUOTE=MarkPowers;7236723]Anyone know if this one is real? Profile seems like she would be, but getting a weird vibe on text.

[URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/3ccc36c8-b1f3-4001-aed1-bf72bbb01074[/URL][/QUOTE]Yes, I felt weird too, She claimed in Southie and asked for 5, but changed it to 6 after a few minutes.

[URL]https://members.seeking.com/member/c9c3cd0f-1c60-4d9a-9920-ad78fed48f09[/URL][/QUOTE]I posted about her in December '23 when she had a different profile.

I got her for 400, CFS, BBBJ but no CIM, which was disappointing because the BBBJ was actually really good but it was an absolute no on CIM. Her behavior was a bit off, spent a lot of time in the bathroom multiple times, I don't know if it was a result of drug use or what but I wasn't interested in seeing her again.

I also recall she has a child and at the time was still involved with the boyfriend or husband.

I've been thinking I should stop SA anyway and this may be the final push I needed to step away from it.

She's ok with bare if you look clean, she wasn't on bc though. No erratic behavior when I saw her, but she was quick to leave after.

The good thing is all 3 of those women have met each other via me and are down with small group stuff. So life could be worse.

[QUOTE=Javazer;7241179]I use SA because I can pay for a subscription with vanilla cards. SB did not let my do it. Did you pay with your own credit card?[/QUOTE]Does SB reject all vanilla gift cards?

[QUOTE=Tribeca67;7242968]Does SB reject all vanilla gift cards?[/QUOTE]I tried a few different pre-paid cards and they're all a no go.
