Your Seeking profile should be the same as any dating site profile
[QUOTE=Contenthigh;7421145]Sup guys, I'm new to the SD / SB world but wanted to give it a shot. Been reading through this thread and it seems like seeking is the way to go. Other than trying to find an alternate payment method to pay for premium, are there any other things I should know to start things off right?
For example, do you guys use your actual pics for your profile and how much time are you spending to make your account? I know those things make a big difference in normal civi dating apps but not sure if it matters as much in the SD / SB world.
Thanks for your help and hope to post some new stories soon![/QUOTE]First, as far as Seeking's admin and lawyers are concerned, Seeking IS a dating site, though their niche in the dating landscape is for women exercising hypergamy by looking for affluent man. In other words, it's for women who want to "date up. " Seeking reinforces this idea by adding a lot of terms to the TOS against ANY suggestion of P4 P, PPM, compensated dating or even offering financial assistance to women for dating. That means your profile and in-site messages much comply with the TOS. You cannot use any language like "I'll give you $$$ if you stay overnight," or "I want a mutually beneficial arrangement. " Once you get her to messaging offsite (by text, whatsapp, etc.) you can talk more freely.
Next, as of June of this year, Seeking will require you to selfie-validate. So you must use real pics. But once validated, you can blur your face on your main profile pic. You will also be required to use your real first name on the profile. So calling yourself things like "DomDaddy" or "Nine Inch Personality" won't fly.
Next, if you want to preserve some level of anonymity and "OpsSec" there are limited payment options. I am not an expert on those as I disclose my real pics (and identity once I am in contact with a POT SB). You may need to read past posts for better info on alternate payment methods.
I suggest you spend a fair amount of time writing thoughtful profile info. Women on Seeking, especially HOT women can get dozens or even hundreds of messages a week. You will not stand out if you just have a single pic and a one-line profile. The two things a woman wants to know asap when looking at your profile are: 1. Is he safe. Meaning can I trust him to not hurt me, and 2. Can he afford me. Meaning he has cash to spend on me and is not the typical douchebag Chad she meets in a bar or at a rave who works as an Uber driver.
So write enough in your profile to convey you are good guy, and you are comfortable splashing some (not too much!) cheddar on a date.
Finally, get used to rejection, ghosting, and scammers. You may need to look at several dozen profiles to find 8-10 worth messaging. And then you may need to message 10-20 women to find one or two you want to meet and who want to meet you.
Last advice. And this is critical! Never, never, never, never, never send anyone money in advance. Not even $1. 00. You will never see that money again and you will never meet that "woman".
I Agree with all of these recommendations

Will that apply just to new accounts or existing ones as well?
Seeking Requires Selfie!!
After not logging into my Seeking account for a few months, I am now prompted for a selfie.
As a married SD, discretion can't be compromised.
At this point, I am DONE with Seeking.
Time to explore other options, any suggestions?
