Hey guys, just FYI to anyone new on SA Suga-baby2369 changed her name. I'm reporting this because I don't want any new people falling into the trap.
Never pay for a meet and greet. Never, never.
Any girl who wants money for a meet and greet is going to try to string you along. No matter how cute they are, don't go for it.
I should add that I've been on SA since 2008. I've seen all the tricks. They invariably claim that "other guys have paid big money for dinner dates," etc. They're lying. Who are these "other guys"? The "sugar daddy" portrayed in the SA marketing verbiage is a unicorn, more or less. Most of the "other guys" on the site are hobbyists. That means you cheap fellows who complain when Eloquent Evenings tries to raise the price for a 30-minute session by $10.
Nevertheless, there are girls on SA who have no experience in this game, and they will attempt to turn meet and greet money into a business model. Think about it: You have coffee with a few guys a week, and you pocket a nice sum. Many of the SA girls are nice, but the site and the hype the site generates does attract some young women who think that every 30- or 40-something guy is eager to give them free money.
The only way to put an end to that is to stop incentivizing it. If you think that *she's* concerned about being strung along, offer to meet her at a time and place that makes it convenient for her. And don't expect an 18 year old college girl to drive 50 miles for a meet and greet. But don't pay her real money until you get something in return.
I'm not saying don't be reasonable; but I am saying: If you pay for meet and greet, you're rewarding bad behavior and making it hard on everyone, as that will set the new expectation.
Also: As I mentioned before, there's been a rash of profiles, invariably with 18- or 19-year-old girls, seeking "online arrangements". I've been reporting them to the site as phishing scams (which they quite likely are).
I love SA, but it does attract scammers and opportunists from time to time. They typically come in waves. Don't feed the con artists, and they eventually give up and go away.
