$ problem for discreet / married
I have a SO so I can't use my own credit card. I got my initial SA membership with a OneVanilla debit card. It just expired. I am trying to renew but the site has been rejecting me. Two different cards, one with $70, one with $80. I tried the SA help but have yet to get a response to my messages. I called OneVanilla. They not only said that their anonymous cards can't be used on dating sites, they also said something about the charge being outside the US so that's another reason they aren't accepting the charges. When I pointed out that I charged my membership there last month, I was told that they saw that and are trying to reverse the charge and put $70 back on my first card. Whoa! Then the gal said that it was up to the merchant to try to get the charge reversed and then come at me for payment in another form. I can't tell whether SA has their $ or not.
Anyway, one thought I had was that as I am super cautious I am using Tor as my browser, and I can look into the toolbar and see what country it is connecting me to the internet from. It is mostly Europe. The OneVanilla says on its face 'Valid only in the US'. You can refresh the circuit in Tor, and I did that over and over again until the final country was the US. Still, the charge was rejected. I am thinking of switching cards. SA even says something on its site about American Express gift cards being used. Does anyone have any experience in using those? Are they as discreet as OneVanilla? Perhaps I just have to risk going with a non-discreet browser to make my SA payments. I can't recall what I did before. If anyone read my earlier post about generating cash, I suggested using an online bank. When I log onto that account, I have to use the non-Tor browser, since it won't allow log-ins if you don't appear to be in the US. I even got an error message once to that effect.
I now have several OneVanilla cards that I can give to SBs if I can ever get in touch with one again.
Ho! Ho! Ho! (double entendre quite intended)
[QUOTE=JeezLizard;2983596]The inversion of the supply and demand curve is exactly the part that some of these ladies don't seem to understand. Hot girls are used to the curve working in their favor -- they can't walk out the door without horny dudes everywhere gawking at them and making passes at them. We as males are at a disadvantage in this game throughout most of our lives. Everything from high school, to the adult bar scene, to online dating, the supply of hot girls is never enough to meet the demand of horny guys. That all changes on the SB scene, especially on sugar dating sites that require a substantial monthly fee for males (as it turns out once you weed out the inordinately frugal males from the equation, there aren't nearly as many left. LOL).
Some of these girls, however, seem to think the SD sites are like the rest of their lives where at any given moment there are countless guys trying to get a chance to talk to her. They don't realize the male: female ratio is drastically different than other forms of dating. Believe it or not, some of them are so oblivious they don't even realize that SDs have to pay for membership, I've talked to several who thought these sites were free to anyone who wanted to join.[/QUOTE]Hot girls are very very spoiled. They need a wake-up call, which I am only to happy to provide. If they insist on denying reality it's time to move on. There are plenty of girls who would like financial help and not that many guys who can afford the time and money to satisfy the reasonable ones.
However, even average looking girls can be very unreasonable. I ran into one the other day who was advertising on CL as needing 1600 ASAP. It turned out she was a 35 year old single mom, very average looking, trying to save her house. We exchanged a few emails. She thought that she should get the whole thing for a one night stand and that she was worth it! ROFLMFAO! She probably still believes in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus.
