"Sugarbabies" / "Arrangements" Amateurs or Not?

It was a fixed $ amount card, not one that you reload. That might make a differencer.

Likewise, I always use a fixed dollar amount card, maybe that is the difference.

So I have been texting a college freshmen for over a month now without meeting face to face. She says she hasn't met anyone from Seeking yet and indeed her online status shows she hasn't logged in within the last 3 weeks. As one would expect she was a bit over whelmed from the number of and the content of some of the messages she got. Her story is pretty much the same as many. Bored with the immature guys her age and out of money with no summer job lined up yet. Seems as I have made the final cut of men she is still chatting with from her contacts on Seeking.

This morning she asked me the same question she asked a month ago. Why was I contacting 18 year olds and not older women? My age shows as 57 on SA. I pretty much repeated what I said when I first messaged her that I found women who have been on SA a long time to be just looking for the guy with deepest pocket and not so much interested in a connection. I added this time that since we have been chatting back and forth several times weekly that we had found some common interests that spans our age difference. The fact that were are still chatting and neither of us has moved on says that we should make that last step and meet up once school is out next week. She agreed and said she was ready for a summer of fun with me. No mention of money in any of our previous messages and I made it clear back when we were messaging through SA that I expected intimacy in an arrangement. So I really expected her to not ever meet and be just another who just liked to talk.

I am curious what you guys that regularly have success with the young ones are doing to seal the deal with them. At least with this one, I think I was the Last Man Standing or was the one who didn't push the issue and let her seek me in the end.

So, texting for that long is a no-no for me. Its just a never ending cycle of messages I've found and I never want to feel like I "wore her down" in regards to finally meeting. I ask for a meeting asap, I don't discuss ANYTHING if we aren't face to face. Example, I re-upped on SA for the summer push and sent out my flood of initial messages. Of those that returned, one mentions that she's a little tired from a long weekend "blah blah blah", I simply ask to meet for coffee on her lunch break to help give her a boost for the rest of her shift. We meet at starbucks, have some conversations around what we both want / looking for etc. She goes and finishes her shift, about an hour later she sends a message saying she thinks we connected, I ask if she wants to visit me after work. End of the story spent 2 hours in the FC, same day.

I don't have the time to spend a month or two bouncing back and forth with them and they expect you to be in control of the situation because you're older.

You do not even need GV app or web site to make a call using your GV # from any phone dial your GV # and while the Google greeting is playing press 2 to a make a call and follow the instructions. I do not have a PIN set up and my GV # is on speed dial on my "main" phone so it is just 2 button presses before I can dial any US number for free! Of course I delete the call to my GV # from the phone history after the call.

As long as you scrub the call logs and text messages of all GV activity immediately after use. Of course the carrier will have a record and if there is a chance that someone e. G. SO may review then better to use a burner.

I used a One Vanilla gift card yesterday with no problems. Just go on One Vanilla website and register an email for the gift card first. I have been doing this every month without any issues, don't know why others are reporting it doesn't work.

I am asking for advice / experience among Google Voice users. I frequently access my texts from the webpage voice. google.com. It has 3 tabs, messages, calls, and voicemails. When you go to calls, you can see all of those you made or received. If you click one of those, you receive a message that it will try to call that # and to provide a # where it can connect you. My question is, do you think this is blinded from the other caller? In other words, I am sitting at home or in my office, could I use this to have a call w / a SB from my landline but have it appear to her as if it is coming from my GV #?

This one scammed a friend of mine recently. Did a cash and dash.

Buyer beware.

She is in Fredericksburg.

FFA, only one way to find out. Call yourself and see what shows up on the caller I'd. My guess is it will be your GV#.

Weird. So I did it on a work computer. I entered the hard # that is on my burner in GV. Rather than messaging me that it would call my number, the page asked to open the microphone on the computer. I clicked yes and it starts to dial. The caller I'd on the burner shows the GV #. So, that would have been what I wanted if I didn't have my burner with me.

I am using the Epic browser specifically, it has a free, built-in VPN. You can select where the exit node is among half a dozen options. B / c it should be the same each time, it looks to google as if you are in the same place you were last time, so you shouldn't need to be authenticated again. At least, that's the theory.

I use textnow. It has its issues but can be done on desktop and on the burner, and in a mobile web browser which is important to me since I often do not have the burner with me. You can also make free calls on it using the burner from the app.

Thanks for the tips guys, will definitely look into these. Probably try the Epic browser accessed through my VPN (TunnelBear). Can't have too much online security.

I don't know the answer to FarFarAway's question, but it prompted one of my own. I use Gmail and Google Voice to contact the SB's. Google Voice is tied to my burner number. So I give the girls my GV number to text me, nad usually read the texts on my computer, not on my burner. GV has not connection to me, burner was bought with cash, prepaid TracFone that I pay with debit cards I bought for cash. I use a VPN to log onto Gmail and Google Voice.

Lately, almost every time I try to log into Gmail, it tells me that it doesn't recognize the device I am using, and wants to authenticate me with a text to the number on file, which is my burner number (note, I did NOT opt into two factor authentication as a regular thing). Sometimes Gmail gives me the option to authenticate by another method, like confirming the email I used to register or the phone number on my burner. But usually, the only option is to get a text with a security code. No doubt the reason Gmail doesn't recognize me is that the VPN is using a different IP address every time. Funny thing is, this never bothered Gmail until recently.

Using a text to authenticate is a pain in the ass for me. When I am at home, my burner is normally stashed in a very very safe place, and I don't want to have to dig it up a few times a day to check texts.

Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

If you are in the same location with your burner as your WiFi router or regular cell phone, Google totally has you connected with all other devices and / or logins.

It's not 2005. There is no hiding from Google at this point.

Dogbert, any time Google gets suspicious of your identity, it will ask you to confirm it's you, either by text or a secondary email. Logging in from anther IP that it has never seen you on before, probably in another country, will most likely trigger it. It's been like that for years and it's normal. You're probably just now seeing it because your VPN provider has probably procured some new IPs in new localities.

I get you. I have had similar problems just in the past week, it asks me to do a Captcha about every other time I log in. One key is the browser / VPN you use. I definitely never use Tor to get onto the GV webpage. It sees a different IP address and makes you authenticate all over again, as you describe.
