WYP Again! Scam, waste of time, scourge to Sugar Dating
[QUOTE=Beachesnole02;3083654]Anyone have any experience with this site? It is run by the same people as SA? Thanks.[/QUOTE]Yes, WYP is owned by the same dude who owns SA. WYP is the biggest scourge to Sugar Dating. I'll explain later.
WYP is a scam! They have very limited profiles available of the girls. In order to "unlock" email communication with a girl it costs you "credits". Credits are not free. Oh, and in order to unlock email communication, you have to have agreed on a price for a date! So you read a 4 line profile and look at some pictures and decide if you want to make what the site calls a "binding contract" to date a girl just to open email communications. So you bid back and forth for the date. The girls have GPS and are looking for tremendous amounts of money. Oh and the number of "credits" it costs you (I. E. Money out of your pocket) to open email depends on your "bid" on the date! So a bid of $100 might run you $10 worth of credits while a bid of $300 might run you $50 worth of credits. Oh and while you are paying to participate there, the girls pay nothing. So with no cash invested in the venture, the level of seriousness is not great.
So you foolishly bid HIGH amounts in order to get to email communication with a girl. You are soon are pizzing through a bunch of money! But here is the kicker: in my experience over half of those you start communicating with are flakes. It costs the girl nothing to join so many join and kick the tires. Then about 25% of the girls will turn out to be whackos that you don't want to meet anyway. So of the remaining ones, 20% will make a date and flake. So all of that for a 5% meet up rate? But here is the rub that most guys ignore, due to thinking with their little head, once you "have a contract to meet" (and in the site's stern warnings that is when you open email communications you have agreed on a date and made a contract) [B]the WYP site is VERY EXPLICIT with its warnings that "sex should NEVER be expected on a first date" and is not part of what is contracted for.[/B].
Right there is where males get tripped up. They think. Gee, I just agreed to pay this cute 20-something girl $300 for a date to go out to dinner, I am sure she understands I mean that to include a long romp in the hay later! Unfortunately you are dead wrong! What gives many "normal" girls the courage to follow through with something like this IS the fact that this site's concept and structure is "safe" and it is just a platonic date! In their mind just having conversation, eating free food and getting free drinks is OK, it isn't prostitution. Something a majority of the WYP girls won't do. So when they see the WYP warning that "sex should NEVER be expected on a first date" they believe it and take it to heart. So that is why many are there. Platonic dates for some easy cash!
You can test this out for yourself. Buy $100 worth of credits and get started. (I think $100 is the minimum buy in). If you bid low enough and can find girls who will agree to a minimum amount, that should get you access to 10 girls. Once you start talking with them, let's see how many flake. Then if you suggest perhaps some intimate time after the date, let's see how many actually meet. The fact that OP suggests there are many "fakes" on the site comes from this. The girls want platonic dates, the dudes want sex and when it becomes clear a dude wants sex, a girl drops out and the guys think she is a "fake!"
Hey I am sure one CAN get laid off of that site, especially if one has more money than brains. Oh, I suspect there are regional differences too. But why fork over $100 for credits on a "chance" one can find a serious enough girl using a messed up way of operating and going against all site warnings? Why do that when for $65 one can sign up for SA where there are no warnings about "sex should not be expected on the first date?" Where in fact the underlying assumption is that sex is an eventuality of any "arrangement!"
Now back to why WYP is a scourge to SB dating? The WYP fosters the concept of "platonic dating for cash. " That fine, that's their business plan, their game. I'm not down with it. But the dude who owns WYP also owns SA and as such he heavily cross promotes the WYP girls with ads about SA! So girls with a "cash for platonic dating" regularly and frequently get pushed, cajoled or wander on to the SA site. So who needs an influx of girls who don't get SB dating or who would never follow through? It helps foster the idea that one can be a SB without hitting the FC!
So go ahead and explore the WYP site and come back and tell us how you hit 10 for 10 in the FC! RIGHT!
Turning a civvi into a SB
FFA. Sorry I didn't respond to your earlier posts. Haven't been checking the forum lately, mainly because it no longer reflects my style, and my style no longer reflects what this board is about. I've changed my game pretty dramatically and geared it much more towards the style that reflects the advice I previously provided to another brother with questions about whether or not to approach a waitress. Based on the reaction from the forum, it seems like most of the members here were adverse to my advice and methods, although if I remember correctly, the brother who implemented had at least some success. At the end of the day, I've found that doing the opposite of what many advocate here has helped me to achieve the kind of sugar relationships that make me happiest.
Let me explain. I started getting bored of the SD lifestyle about a year to six months ago. HoyaSvnFgr talked about sugar fatigue in a prior post a year or so back. My situation was like that, but slightly different. I think what really sealed the deal for me was the amount of UTR's, pros, GPS, and career SBs that were joining the sugar sites; and the fact that I started to have significantly less time. Due to promotions as work, and the purchase of a few additional investment properties. It was getting more difficult to achieve what I wanted from the bowl. A year or so back, I had started swapping info with other SDs, which one enterprising SD turned into a group list of sharing. It was / is great, and while it helped significantly cut back on profiles of time wasters, I found that the list became a bit of a self contained group of brothers sharing the names of ladies who would otherwise be UTRs. Unfortunately, it didn't scratch that same itch that I had when I first entered into the bowl.
It was only until I started cross referencing names / pics / profiles from sugar sites, with other job oriented task sites that I started to realize what I really wanted. I also came across the post below from the Baltimore board that really just nailed the aspect of being a SD that I used to find so satisfying. I'm not going to try to recreate the post but a link to it should be below.

Its post 415 by "whistles."
An amazing post right? The simple reality of it, is that the kind of experience the OP wrote about in the link above is what really made the bowl so much fun for me. Finding an innocent PYT, and then turning her into an adoring SB that gets wet when you touch her, its just an amazing experience. I've been lucky enough to have similar experiences like that more than just once, and that's the kind of experience that makes the SD lifestyle so much fun. Don't get me wrong though, I still give my go to agencies a call every now and then when they have cute new talent, and from time to time still check the BP pages for that diamond in the rough, but my game has changed dramatically over the past summer.
So my current rotation consists of a personal trainer, two "interns" that I've hired and am mentoring, as well as a cashier from a fast food restaurant near the townhouse office where I'm currently renting a room / office space. None of these babies were pulled from any sugar site, although the key to landing them was engaging them and then later figuring out that they had heard about the "sugar lifestyle" but were too shy to have every fathomed creating a profile. One intern I met via a CL listing I put up because I needed someone to help build spreadsheets and assist me with my personal investments. The other intern I met via a task job oriented site, who was more than happy to upgrade from doing random jobs for random people, to becoming my personal assistant. In more ways than one. The personal trainer I met because the office space I now rent doesn't have a shower. Since I use the office space for sugar activities (after hours when the folks from the organization I rent from are not there) doesn't have a shower, I got a membership at a local fitness facility that's open 24 hours a day. I certainly can't come home to my SO smelling like teenage pussy, and so I got a cheap membership there so that I could use their shower facilities after hours. I also started using it on the weekends when I didn't have time to use the gym in the office of the organization where I'm employed. A PYT in her mid 20's was trying to pick up some new clients, and I got the vibe that I might be able to flip her. She is now in my rotation as well. I met the cashier from the fast food restaurant (really more of a fast / casual place) when I was grabbing meals on the go.
I pulled the SBs using the same advice I provided the brother who was thinking about whether or not to pull the trigger with the waitress, along with advice I provided about how I pulled another SB from a job / task oriented site (e. G. Meet and go over their resumes, get in close, initiate "accidental" very non sexual physical contact to feel out whether becoming a SB is in the realm of possibility, etc. , I won't waste time reposting that advice since you can just click on my profile name and pull all of my prior posts and advice if you want to.
Best part about the whole situation is that the allowance I'm providing is so much less than the GPS gals I was meeting from SA and other sugar sites. More importantly, these were all pulled during the course of my regular life, and so there wasn't constant messaging back and forth, wasted time sitting at a M&G waiting for a flake to show up. I also don't have to deal with SBs that are constantly hunting for "a better daddy that will provide more sugar. " My current SBs are happy to have met an attractive guy, who is in shape, with a decent sense of humor, who has confidence, and is normal (relatively speaking for a guy who is living the sugar lifestyle). There is no question that the sugar is what keeps the relationship stable for everyone involved, but that's the price I pay for discretion. They get that.
Here's what I found to be the key to my own success. 1. Knowing that I'm not god's gift to humanity. This is key, because if you realize that you're just a guy that this young lady is banging because they're currently unattached, a nice guy, and helping them pay their bills, it will go a long way. The best way to characterize my SD relationships are mentorship agreements with a FWB twist. All of these girls in my rotation will leave me as soon as they meet a guy, but until then, they're happy that I'm making them cum, while teaching them a thing or two and providing an allowance while doing so. 2. Avoiding at all costs the clingers, crazies, nandos, etc. Its touch to spot them at first, but with time, it gets easy. Its like when you first started on BP and couldn't tell when a pic was TGTB or real, but after a few months, any monger worth his salt gets to the point where they can differentiate between the real pics and the fake pics, even if they were sleepwalking. 3. Being in control of the personal finances. My SO. Like my SBs gets her allowance. She doesn't have, or want access to the personal accounts, investment accounts, etc. I'm pretty careful to cover my tracks. 4. Having lots of personal investments on top of a high level job in a very large organization. The multiple personal investments make my finances extremely complicated. They also give me a legitimate reason to hire part time labor / interns (not that my SO knows about that, but rather because I am actually having my interns do real work). This also translates to not having much time available, and so its easy for others, like my SO, to lose track of me because I'm doing so many different things on any given day, and can potentially be at a variety of different areas at any given point in time. 5. Living in an area that's about an hour to three large major metropolitan areas with at approximately 15 different institutions of higher learning. The SB pool is large, and with so many different areas to choose from, not shi**ing where I eat is pretty easy. I live in a different area than where the office where I'm employed is, and my personal office is in a different area than my home or place of employment.
So FFA, all I can say is that the approach has worked for me (and for the other brother. If memory serves me correctly). I see that you got a lot of blowback from other brothers, and their advice should be taken for what its worth since I'm sure they've all been successful in the bowl for what they wanted. From my perspective, if what you're looking for is a fresh SB, who wouldn't normally ever consider the idea of becoming an SB, but who could be turned by the right guy, then the best way to go about it. IMHO - is to meet them in an IRL setting and first establishing trust and rapport. With regard to security and risk (yes I have an SO, and no, while I'm sure she has her suspicions, I'm going over three years strong in the SD lifestyle), each individual has their own degree of appetite for security and risk. For my part, each of my current SBs only knows me by my sugar name and the details I've shared with them are all no more than what I've shared with SBs I've pulled from SA or other sugar sites. When they need to get in touch with me, they call, text, or e-mail me on my burner, or SD e-mail account. I pay the rent for my office space via cash each month in advance and the organization I rent from is more than happy to receive it in that manner and provide me with receipts for payment.
This post is getting a little long, which I know (trust me - I know) can be annoying so if you have any specific questions about my techniques or want advice about a specific question or situation, just send me a PM. I only check this forum very infrequently since these days it is a far cry from the forum that I used to enjoy reading so much. Many of the personalities (e. G. HWG, HoyaSvnFgr, etc.) that I enjoyed no longer post here, and a few personalities have highjacked the forum by picking fights with random brothers every few weeks. Sadly its the same personalities that are picked the same fights over and over when you look at the posts that the Admin is being forced to delete. At the end of the day, I'm finding that putting my hands between the legs of a young twenty something is infinitely more satisfying than reading posts that drone on and purport to provide legal advice (which is inaccurate at best) that applies across all fifty states (most criminal laws are legislated at the state level); or advice claiming that all Asian and Latina girls share the same characteristics in common (they don't, since individual characteristics vary by race, country of origin, and ethnicity. For example, culturally an American shares as much in common with a Russian as they do with a Mexican, even though the American and Russian are "white / caucasian" while the Mexian is of Latin descent).
If I wanted to be frustrated by back and forth bickering between condescending know it alls, who have the intellectual capacity of a worm, I'll watch the presidential debate this Monday (not a commentary on any single party/candidate, but rather a commentary on both). Nowadays, I just skim the Richmond forum, read the posts that interest me, respond to posts that are worth responding to, and sit back with my popcorn and just enjoy the shenanigans. Apologies to all for venting, its just that I miss how collegial this forum used to be and the wealth of good advice and original techniques that formerly was posted here. I guess I'm just feeling old and nostalgic with fall coming around the corner.
In any case, happy sugaring gents. Fish out.
[QUOTE=FarFarAway;3085367]Yeah, that's not the situation at all. I happened to meet these girls in an office setting. If I do anything with them it will be off premises, and they will be SBs, but with the variant that they know who I am. The same motivations of anonymity will apply. Babies don't want people to know they are b / c they look like hookers to some.
The guy who ran that other racket was ILuvSmellyFish, as I posted recently. It's not my gig, I just hoped to get pointers from his approach to turning girls (he succeeded with one).[/QUOTE]
Not what I do, but who I choose
Hey Bike. Hope your adventures in the bowl have been fun filled. The trick to my success isn't with anything that I do, but rather in who I select. I've pulled my fair share of stalkers and crazies during the days when I using SA and have gotten pretty good at filtering them. In terms of characteristics, a few red flags for me are:
1. Older; 2. Attend higher end schools / grad students; 3. Give the impression that they are entitled / privileged; 4. Inability to remove themselves from social media; 5. More than 1,000 friends / followers on whatever social media sites they have profiles on; 6. overdeveloped sense of ego; etc.
The characteristics I look for are:
1. Younger; 2. Comes from a blue collar background; 3. Not reliant on parents for paying for school; 4. Genuine appreciation for something as small as buying coffee for them at the interview; 5. True desire for mentorship; 6. obedient/submissive - is good at doing what their told; etc.
My two current interns are happy to get paid $15 an hour for any projects that I assign to them. These are discrete tasks, and I dictate the amount of hours that I think they should be spending on them. For example, if I get a call from a tenant at one of my rental properties and the fridge is broken, I get the tenant to provide me with the dimensions of the fridge. Then I call one of my interns and tell her that I need her to find a fridge that matches the exact dimensions; has the replacement characteristics that I want (e. G. Icemaker, water dispenser, etc.), and is the lowest cost. I'll also tell her to check all the major big box stores and online to get the best deal. Then I'll tell her to spend 3 hours on the task and to send me a spreadsheet that breaks down at least 4 different refrigerators that fit the criteria I need and the cost of each fridge from Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, and Amazon. Depending on the rental, I might choose a higher end fridge to match the investment, or might just go with the cheapest model.
She's gaining life skills (e. G. Why you should always shop around before you buy; how to build a spreadsheet; etc.). You'd be surprised how many young people nowadays lack these basic skills or don't realize the potential savings you can make by shopping around. I personally don't have time to shop around for a new fridge in one of my rentals; I don't want my tenant to buy a "gold plated" fridge to replace the one that is broken; and so the intern adds real value. By paying $45 bucks, I save $200; spend time talking to my "intern," and then all I have to do is order the appliance from the store and have it delivered.
Those are the kinds of projects that I assign. They don't provide any real information, but provide value to me.
With regard to the initial meeting. The same rules I used when pulling babies from SA apply to my situation now. When posting CL ads, or putting a flyer at a local community college; etc. , I'll include my SD name, and my SD e-mail address. The post will request that interested applicants send me an e-mail providing a copy of their resume and their phone number. I use the phone number and name to pull their facebook page / twitter / etc. Which gives me enough information to determine whether they get granted an interview. Its amazing how much information some people post on their social media accounts. Then during the interview, I check them out.
During the interview, the information they get is all the same as I would give during a more "traditional" meet and greet. The technique I use is generally the same I describe in my post about interviewing applicants pulled from task oriented job websites (just click my profile name and search through to find that post). After the projects / assignments start rolling in, my current interns have become comfortable that I am who I say I am. They were also carefully culled from a larger pool (I've gone through a large number of interviews, and a large number of interns. Many only received one or two projects because they didn't fit the mold I was looking for, had too many questions, etc.). Both my current interns were "broken in" after first assigning them 2/3 projects and a number of conversations where I established rapport, and figured out whether they would fit what I was looking for.
I started the SD / SB aspect of the relationship with my current intern SB rotation after taking them out to dinner to thank them for a project, joked during the meal that the waitress probably thinks I'm your sugar daddy, which then inevitably led to a conversation about the sugar world; how I used to play in it, and then how they either had a profile for a short time but deactivated it, or how they wanted to create one, but was too scared to do so. After that, turning them into a SB was easy.
Don't get me wrong. The whole process took a ton of work. I'm not some self-absorbed narcissist who thinks that he's god's gift to women. I'm a semi-decent looking guy, who is in shape, and can make a gal laugh. SA's popularity; the MTV show: True Life "I'm a sugar baby," and the loose morals as well as the strong tendency today for girls to believe they should be able to have sex with as many guys as they want, are key. Also, I've encountered a ton of failure. For example, I interviewed one young lady and when I pulled my chair next to hers to go over her resume, she initiated touching, came in close, purposely brushed her hair and her leg against mine. I thought she was a shoe in for my rotation. After developing great rapport and after her third project, I took her out to dinner at a nice restaurant to celebrate. She was super flirty until I laid out my joke about how if we kept laughing and flirting like we were during dinner, the waitstaff was going to think she was my sugar baby. Instead of laughing and the evening taking the direction that I thought it would. She shut down and became extremely uncomfortable. I got the impression that she was one of those girls that uses sex to get jobs, but had no desire to take things to the next level. I cut her from the rotation after she did a crappy job on the last assignment I gave to her.
My current babies are fabulous. They were all so eager to start the relationship, that I was floored. It was very much like the post that whistles wrote (the one I included in my prior post). Most importantly, it became pretty clear to me that for them, having a little bit of mystery and not oversharing my entire life or being slightly dodgy about all the details of my life, adds to the mystery for them and makes them even wetter when I call them in to discuss a project.
If you have any other questions about anything else, or specific questions, just PM me.
[QUOTE=BikeRider;3087624]Fish I appreciate your view point. I'm incredibly impressed you've been able to hire interns without giving up any personal information. Having beaten back more than my fair share of stalkers who were able to piece together a few bread crumbs, I'd love to hear more about you can so successfully compartmentalize. I also have a number of investments, businesses, and I've not a clue how to get interns to help with that work without giving away personal information. Anything you can share is greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]
Agree with you on all points but one
Great post, and agree with you on all points but your last. Over time this forum has become less and less of an open mic for all to share. If you go back through the thread, you'll note that too often over the past two years Admin has had to jump in and delete posts that could be characterized as less than congenial. You'll also notice a running theme to all the deleted posts.
[QUOTE=BikeRider;3088534]There are no shortage of ideas in the bowl. Some good, some bad, but the key is each brother needs to decide what is right for him. Fish has developed a routine that works for and is comfortable for him. I want to hear how he manages his routine so I can learn and apply in my routine if it fits.
As for paying under the table, welcome to the real world. The vast majority of our economy (at the low end) works under the table. I don't expect to get nominated for the supreme court nor run for public office, and so this is something that might work for me. Sure, the SB could report you to the IRS but she'd be hurt more on the penalty for not reporting income and paying taxes. None of us are big enough fish for the feds to give her immunity.
Finally, I agree that the hiring as a W2 employee is a bad idea. W9 contractors have a much more difficult time proving sexual harassment (at least according to my lawyers YMMV). Can she still create a shit storm, yes. I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV. I just spend a shit load on them each year to keep my a$$ out of trouble.
Again. We all have our comfort level for various situations. I love this forum because it is an open mic for us to share.[/QUOTE]
Personal Assistant / Personal Shopper
Ever consider hiring a personal assistant or personal shopper? Completely unrelated to your work and to help you with personal life tasks. That's for the most part of what intern #2 does for me. I can't remember if I mentioned it or not, but "intern #2" was initially pulled from a menial task/job oriented site and started out by doing menial personal tasks for me. Also I agree with your real world analysis. At the end of the day, $15 an hour, and 3-5 hours a week of "work" ends up amounting to chump change. Also, now that the summer is gone and the girls are back to school, they have almost no free time and so our visits are generally romantic in nature. Its just that they started out in a work context. I'd say that during this summer, they probably made in the low three figures.
I'm not a federal agent so I can't speak to whether the government would open an investigation to address tax payments on a few hundred dollars. I guess everyone has their own risk tolerance though. As you said in your prior post, can't imagine that a SB would significantly lie about how much more she was paid than she actually was to get the interest of someone with the authority to do something - because that would place her in the awkward situation of probably paying backtaxes on a significantly larger amount than she probably made. On the other hand, can you imagine the look on the persons face if they received a call from someone trying to report that you didn't pay their taxes for $300 worth of "work" performed over the course of a few months? Not sure if any agency wants to spend their resources chasing down a claim for a few hundred dollars. That's also why if a "intern" or "personal assistant" isn't going to work out, they get cut after 1 or 2 projects.
From my perspective my method is was a great way to weed out the scammers, nandos, and GPS SBs that are now all trolling the sugar sites. Nothing like tapping into the dark desires of a PYT who wants so badly to star in their own little version of 50 Shades of Grey or Mad Men. Also, there isn't any need for me to do anything that would be even remotely considered sexual harassment since most of the young ladies these days are so comfortable with their own sexuality. The flip side of that of course is that even if I didn't do anything that could be considered sexual harassment, any woman I work with could make up a lie to make my life difficult. The key is finding someone that won't do that.
Also, my method greatly increases the in person meet and greet numbers. Gone are the days of the 85 % chance that a POT isn't going to show up. Now I've found that most of my meetings have a 85% chance of the intern actually showing up. The mindset is completely different. Also, my prior moneybowl post confirmed that once I got them to show up and could prove that I wasn't a complete creeper and just a normal, semi-decent looking guy who could make them laugh, my chances of taking them to the FC improved considerably. Don't get me wrong, I've done a ton of interviews, but the back and forth of showing up for a meeting and having someone flake is much less likely now.
Based on your posts, I suspect you're pretty good at reading people, and I also suspect that you treat your SBs well. I've found that when you find the right SB, and treat them well, even if you completely disappear on them, they don't hold it against you. Every one of my prior SBs have either assumed that something terribly bad happened to me, that I was found out by my SO, or is just completely confused. Early on, I had a few that were completely pissed off and angry, but that was more because I ended up in arrangements with entitled young self-absorbed babies who thought I owed them something beyond treating them well, making them cum, and giving them a nice allowance. I let my little head tell my big head that they were too hot to pass up. Now that I have a careful selection criteria, I've found that while I don't always pull the hottest babies with the best bodies, the relationship with them is so much more fun, less stress filled, and they are so much more appreciative.
Just my two cents on what's worked for me.
[QUOTE=BikeRider;3088611]I was only seeking to learn Fish's approach. I was pretty sure it wouldn't apply to me, but it might help someone else here.
Sadly, I don't have work that I can hand-off to an "intern" without also exposing to much personal information. I also have an incredible 'chief of staff' that would bust me in minutes about unreported contractor payments, or such. It sucks, but it is exactly why I pay her so well.[/QUOTE]
