Seeking Arrangements

[The Cane]

I completely ignore all favorites. Any girl worth her salt is getting assaulted by tons of guys and has no time to browse for partners. And if she did she would surely not choose you. Or me. LOL. Yes. Ignore all. For sure.

Well now that I think about it, with the one smashing success I had, she was getting slammed by contacts and was almost ready to quit the site. She didn't favorite me until after we started talking. Hmmm. Just thinking of strategies for how to make it better if and when I decide to try it again. I mean some tactics are easy. If a girl tries to tell me she's from my town, but I can see that the last time "she" was on she was coming from Morocco (and she's too stupid to use the site tools to hide her location), then that's an automatic block. I guess I'm trying to come up with a set of rules I feel confident with in order to decide relatively quickly who should be blocked immediately without question. Blocking somebody who favorited me without even looking at my profile seems to be a good one. Was just wondering if you had seen that, and how you handled. You have a lot of experience with SA, and I always appreciate your input and perspectives on it.

Steve,

What is your view on "women" favoriting your profile without ever having looked at it a single time (I say "women" because you never know, especially unless and until you meet or do a virtual Zoom session or something)? I mean, ordinarily the site will tell you if and when somebody looked at your profile, and the last time when they did so. Sure sign of a fake or no? A red flag at least?

Tl; dr Not worth it. Flying out to Colombia.

Great report, Ted! Thanks! What are the asking rates or the rates that you paid?

[The Cane]

While the optics on the girls here are decent (lots of 8's), the overall experiences have been unsatisfying. There's a peculiar feeling of irritation, disappointment and stress in the culture here. Nearly all of the girls I met had this expectation that I would be some kind of weirdo sexual predator and upon seeing that wasn't the case, immediately switched into "how can I milk this situation to my maximum benefit" mode. There's a lack of anything but superficial warmth that makes Buenos Aires unsuitable for my idea of sugar dating relationship. However, if you're comfortable treating these girls with fake politeness masking the same mercenary behavior they exhibit, you might be happy here.

Snazzy dressers, intelligent and more punctual than most Latin girls yes. But I'd prefer reading a book while waiting for a Colombiana than see one of these chicks. I was wondering why I didn't see any Argentines in my time in Spain and I think this experience answers the question. I messaged one (likely Argentine) girl in Cancun asking where she's from and she literally responded "Die". BTW, tons of pro type girls from Argentina in Cancun. And then it dawned on me. They're the Russians of LatAm. Pissed off attitude, superficially nice. Except they don't look as good as the Russians or other Eastern Europeans.

I understand what you experienced and can empathize. Venezolanas used to demonstrate a lot of that same "tude" as well. Not anymore after they and their entire country have had their "economic asses" handed to them. Not so arrogant anymore!

Some specific examples:

- First timer on the site. Unreal body, acceptable face. I was the first foreigner she met (she's never been outside Argentina). Super bitchy over WhatsApp. In person we had a pleasant conversation to start, then she downed one drink, smoked a joint, downed another drink and then another joint (all in 1 hour). Proceeded to lay down and practice for the Oscars before announcing she had to meet a friend for dinner. This to her was a successful meeting, as she texted me the day after and a week after that. Nope.

- Girl who's aunt died. Worked as a "dancer" in Spain and the US. Lives 1 hour outside the city. Messages me that she'll be an hour late but is only coming to the city to see me. Then she says she has to drop off clothes to sell with a friend on the way. Ends up being about 1. 5 h late (but at least announces it). Overall good conversation and good in the bedroom. We make plans for the next week. She cancels due to period, then says she might be able to come, then cancels. But makes plan for the next day (which she then cancels again). I end up seeing her eventually and she's too high to find my apartment.

- Girl who isn't comfortable going to an Airbnb. Cancelled 2 x beforehand, second time due to family issue with appeared legit. Decides to mention she's only comfortable meeting at a hotel a few hours before the 3rd meeting (which of course, was cancelled). I ended up offering to meet her socially and pay for her Uber (nope). Then I offered to give her a gift for just talking, which she happily agreed to, before I realized how stupid that was and that she was just an 8 with a dysfunctional life. I asked her why this hotel requirement was only a thing here, and if people are that bad here. Her answer was yes.

- Girl who spent a bunch of time in Cancun with other Argentines. Good communication up to the meeting, polite. Pictures aren't heavily edited upon seeing her in person. But not comfortable meeting outside the apartment because "she doesn't go out with just anyone". For the record, I'm in my 30's, fit and decent looking. We start with a nice conversation which goes on to the theme of her wanting a French bulldog. She then proceeds to spend the next hour talking on WhatsApp with people selling French bulldogs. I shit you not. We were talking about which one she liked most and what her favorite dog names were.

- Working girl 8 who was decent. One positive result of the interaction is she mentioned Seeking has a lot of weirdos here. Maybe that explains the preconceptions.

None of the girls above looked like they had spent any time at the gym recently, and the excess fat from the poor diet shows. While the asses are big, they're just fat asses. Brazil spoils one in this respect. As was said earlier, lots of 8's, but no higher. Also, more blondes than I like.

The food was also crap. Fruits and vegetables are flavorless unless you go out of your way to shop for organic produce because people here are too cheap to pay for quality. Delivery services often stopped working due to low pay because people are too cheap to pay them to deliver.

Criticism aside, I did have a solid 8 who I saw weekly throughout my time here. She was never more than 15 minutes late and usually left me satisfied. And in the last week I met a smart, young girl from Mendoza who didn't have the agitation of the BsAs girls which suggests the emotional issues are worse in BsAs. Both of these girls however had a palpable negativity.

One positive thing about visiting here. You'll save a lot of money with the economic issues in the country and all the cancellations from the girls. If you do come, stay at a hotel and make sure you get your pesos at a larger western union branch because small ones don't do big withdrawals. And be prepared to put up with a mountain of shit from all the dysfunction in this country.

I would probably say my seeking experience in both Manila and Angeles were both duds. So, I would not recommend using it in Philippines.

Manila: The girls are demanding too much in relation to where the values are. Most are asking for 10 to 15 K. Approx USD 200 to USD 300. Thanks but not thanks for this amount in this city. Maybe in European cities but not here. Plus you will never know what you are getting, kind of like a box of chocolates per Gump. If anything, verify your goods with a videochat, always.

Angeles: The pool in itself is small and given the alternatives of large pool of bar girls, it is not even worth the time to look up for one in this city. Bar fine a few girls from the selection of bars and bring them to the Aqua club, and you would suddenly have a pool party atmosphere.

Hi hoping someone could give me advice or previous experience using sa in Buenos Aires what they paid for an engagement or an overnight date yeah.

Just read back a few pages here. This was just discussed recently.

[The Cane]

As a practical matter I always try to end things gracefully with the other side. Even a suspected scammer. Because it's too easy for them to "report you" for some malfeasance out other and get you suspended. Just not worth it.

I never did it on the site itself. I'm smarter than that. No, it was usually by text after moving off of the site, where these cheats prefer to operate, so no chance of any repercussions from being "reported" by them and suspended for something I did on the site (what are they going to do? Say I went off on them for calling out their bullshit schemes). No, to the contrary! What I would actually do is go and report them, and they sir are the ones who got kicked off of the site. I would even cut and paste stuff they wrote by text into messages on the site as proof of what they were doing. The evidence was in my the complainant's favor. Know how to fight back. And then do it! So to the contrary, it's well worth it to get them kicked off versus just turning the other cheek and taking it! I made so many reports on people outright and upfront asking for handout money, running scams, or otherwise using SA for commercial purposes. And poof their fake accounts would vanish! Maybe they found ways to come right back, but at least during my short tenure I put up my part of the fight. No, it was well worth it to turn the tables and fuck with a scammer if you know how to do it right. And get them booted off, which I did. Plenty of them! I know in the end it was a losing battle because the bullshit is plentiful, thick and deep on SA (why I quit it), but it sure felt good taking the scammers on and scoring some wins while it lasted LOL!

I got to the point where I liked to fuck with the scammers. Play along with their bullshit to see just how far they will try to take it. "Oh, that's all I have to do to set up my wallet so that I can trade in bitcoin"? Haha! Then at some point out of the blue after they think they've been reeling me in I would say something like, "You understand I know you're full of shit right? So fuck off"! LOLOLOL! End of conversation.

I believe that there are definitely a lot of selection and nice girls in Mexico City but once in a while you will run into some scammers. This has been mentioned before but it does not hurt to reiterate that never believe these sad stories from girls. As an example, I was doing some ground work and start chatting with this girl.

https://members.seeking.com/member/1...2-039a9a5ce893

She seemed decent enough and we seemed to have a good connection. And then out of the blue she mentioned that her rent was due and asked me for 2. 5 K and that she would be wiling to do anything I wanted. I told her that was not a problem. I can easily give her the 2. 5 K and that I was free to meet. Then she said she was at school now so she could not meet but that as soon as her classes were over, she would meet with me. I told her I never sent money without meeting. Then she said if I could at least send her 1 K. I offered to send her 1 K but that I wanted to have a video call and to see her INE (ID). It turns out that the "Internet" was very unstable at school so she could not video call. Anyway, you see where this is going.

I did not have any intention to send her money but wanted to see how far she would try. But please, NEVER, NEVER send money. Even if for you it is not a lot of money, 98% of times you are just getting scammed.

Good luck and be safe and smart. Enjoy all the Seeking has to offer in Mexico City!

Yeah, standard MO from scammer. First they make a connection and sometimes they don't even use their real pictures and hijack other girl's IG profiles. Then they claimed problem with cash flows and ask for help with promise of returning the money borrowed. Then they disappear knowing you are the sucker. Anyway, I have just exactly one such girl that is stringing me along, and I am just playing along. I would only say I would help only upon meeting her in person. After that, the communication stopped.

My initial impression of Seeking experience in Manila had been a big disappointment....

For 10 K+ in Manila, I would be on IG. A much wider market and plenty of seriously good looking girls with <10 k subs. "Fame" affects price but there seems to be less simps sending "gifts" with no expectation to meet or reciprocation.

Cheers. G.
