"Sugarbabies" / "Arrangements" Amateurs or Not?

I saw a great line a guy pur in his SA profile:

")_( this is curvy, (_) this is not. ".

[QUOTE=GeechieDan;4924541]I totally agree! Curvy almost always translates to Fat when you meet them.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Madaboutmax;4924702]I saw a great line a guy pur in his SA profile:

An SB posted about it on another forum. It's really not that nefarious. LOL.

With the forum being so quiet, thank you for providing some much needed chuckles

In the past I've made a dummy, unfunded SB account just to read men's profiles to see what the competition puts out there. Very enlightening; I recommend it.

The below is not working. Are there any work around to read messages on seeking?

[QUOTE=Zcochran00;3939986]I'm a programmer, and I spend a good portion of my time doing web development. I've noted that SA has been rewriting portions of their site from a traditional "click link, wait for server return the new page" style to a "single-page application" approach. Turns out that due to some rather silly programming choices on their part, it's actually possible to view the text content of messages even if you don't have premium time enabled.

It involves opening up your browser's "development tools" window so you can inspect the contents of the page and the data being requested, and should work in either Chrome or Firefox.

Log in to SA and go to your inbox. Right-click anywhere on the page and choose "Inspect Element". The browser's dev tools should either pop up as a separate window, or as part of the main window. Click on the "network" tab in the dev tools. Then, back in the SA inbox screen, click on a conversation.

If you go back to the "network" tab, you should see a list of all the data requests the SA page asked for from the server. One of them should look like "/ inbox? Page=1&limit=25". Click on that one. It'll show a bunch of technical details of some of the message headers.

Now, look for a tab called "Response". If you click on that, you should see a tree with sections like "status", "message", "conversation", and "metadata". Expand "conversation" "messages" "data". You should see some numbered entries, 0 and up. Those represent each of the messages in the conversation, from both of you. (Side note: the "metadata" object has a whole bunch of info that they know about your own account. Some of it is info you entered yourself, like profile info. There's also things like "payments_total", which appears to be how much you've actually ever paid SA, unread message count, whether you're in the EU, and even fields labeled "has_under_age_punishment" and "has_unacknowledged_punishment". Very interesting.)

Each message entry has a field called "body", which is the text that's shown in your inbox. If you've got premium active, it's the actual message text. If not, it's "Upgrade to read".

Here's where they did something silly. They send back the text that should be shown, but *they also send back the original text too*. So, even if the "body" field says "Upgrade to read", the "original_body" field shows the actual no-kidding message that was sent. You can inspect each of the messages that was received, and effectively read the conversation.

It's not a substitute for reading messages in the inbox as usual, but it might be helpful for anyone who gets a message when they don't have premium active and wants to peek at it without having to immediately shell out the cash to read it.

As a programmer, I can tell that there's actually a _ton_ of useful information being returned whenever you view a profile page or inbox page. It would be possible for someone to write a browser extension that either extracted some of that info from a page, or re-requested that data from the server, and did something useful with it (up to and including modifying an inbox to show all the messages without needing premium enabled). Sadly, I don't have time to work on anything like that myself. I've got a lot of other things on my plate.

Hope that helps![/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Shyzai;4925197]Was the competition stiff?[/QUOTE]I've had SB's log in and show me what things look like on there end. As you'd expect there are more profiles than they could ever hope to search through, and most of them are real bad. But a few are seemingly actual millionaires use the site (Diamond status is actually used). A lot of the "stiff competition" are married guys who make low 6 figures. Then there was a surprising number of scam accounts. Trying to collect personal information for identity theft etc. And a shit ton of accounts of men who clearly have no social skills or money or anything to offer at all. But there they are.

[QUOTE=CrazySpice;4925257]The below is not working. Are there any work around to read messages on seeking?[/QUOTE]This is long gone, and that was posted on the thread when it happened. No, there is no workaround other than to pay for membership.

I'm a long-time member and have only made a few comments, but thought I'd chime in on a few I have input on.

She is real and her pictures are legit. Met for coffee and had some car action on date one--two BBBJ, which were fantastic! Date two met at a local hotel. Damage was $$. She's definitely freaky and will try anything. She loves to give oral, was open to greek and rimming. Downside is she's really annoying and very clingy. I didn't text for a couple days and she freaked out on me. So that was the end of that.

Got to texting this one and she is down to earth and easy to talk to. Downside is she has major GPS. Said she was asking $1,000 per. Continued to talk just because and finally said it's too much and she said she'd do $500. That's still high, but she may come down further. Absolutely gorgeous though IMO.

Used to have an arrangement with this one. She has a place in the fan and can host. She's a teacher and is off for the summer so plenty of availability. Damage was $. 5 Everything was on the table, including a threesome, which was interesting although I didn't take advantage. Ended it because the experience was just eh. Not terrible, but not really that great either.

Met her for coffee and the conversation was great and easy flowing. Scheduled a second date at her place and we hung out in the living room. She is petite--like super petite! She has a townhouse in Glen Allen, which is nice, although I think she's moving. Ended up going FS for $. 5. Didn't discuss before hand, that's just what I left. She's decent, likes it rough and loves being slapped. Third date was again at her place over lunch, but up in her room, this was DISGUSTING. Just a complete mess with junk everywhere, dead flowers, half eaten food, dirty kitty litter boxes. I finished and got the hell out of there and haven't been back.

I've been doing this for about 8 years now and haven't really participated on this board much after SM I gave input to on someone went to that person and told them about what was said--needless to say she wasn't happy. Since I'm taking a break from SA, I figure I'll go ahead and post some of my experiences for others since I don't care if anything gets back to them. I'll update as I see others I've had experiences with pop up on recently active.

[QUOTE=Shyzai;4925197]Was the competition stiff?[/QUOTE]The competition is weak. The problems are the sheer number of men on there, that dozens of men message each women, and that a very high percentage of the men are creeps or scammers or bots. It's hard for the women to filter for the good guys there. So for every good connection a guy makes, there were very likely other women who just lost you in the shuffle of creepy messages and outright scammer messages.

[QUOTE=CrazySpice;4925257]The below is not working. Are there any work around to read messages on seeking?[/QUOTE]No, the SA developers finally wised up and stopped sending that extra info a few months ago. I haven't seen anything similar since then.

Very good insight. That also means that the website is making lots of money from men since only premium and diamond daddies can chat with the ladies. They are probably making millions per month!

Hey all! I don't know if this girl is just trying to do online only or is underage.

Messaged her the other day and she almost immediately sent her # so we could text.

Her profile says she can host so the impression is she is down to meet but her 1st text she asked if I wanted to Facetime. I was busy at the time and told her that I wasn't looking for online but would be happy to Facetime when I was free if that made her comfortable. She said she'd be around and we texted a bit in the meantime. What I was expecting was that she would ask for $ to Facetime and that would be the end of it.

So when I was free I texted but told her that since her profile says she is 19 and she looks pretty young that before we went any further I wanted her to send a pic of her I'd. I told her she could black everything out except the picture and DOB. I wasn't trying to find out who she was or where she lives, just verifying that she is over 18.

Silence. Haven't heard anything from her since.
