Posts: 314I made the jump. But here's a concern
OK I jumped into that SA thing by paying their membership $$$ so I could read some of the response messages I got. But I became a bit concerned about what the girls can see about us on the other side. And so I made a throwaway account as a girl, and it's quite interesting just how the "net worth" and "annual income" features in their search and list views. They need to pay their fee for being able to filter by ethnicity, body type, net worth, and income. They pay $20 per month for that. We pay $100 per month. Ah well. OK. I guess $20 per month is a lot if you're a girl living in Venezuela. I suppose this whole $$ is the reason why SA works pretty well to get attention. So far so good.
I frankly am a little concerned to play this $$$ worth and income game. Found a cutie in a small town in Colombia (I have a thing for the idea of small town girls) but my big head plays through some scenarios. So you announce some amount of $$$X net worth, and you go to the Colombian country side, where then you are being kidnapped and extorted for a good share of your net worth to walk free again. This is making me apprehensive. So I might totally overstate the amount or just declare "I don't want to say". Do you have any research how that affects the hits? With the gold diggers you got to be careful.
Seeing the other guys in the search is also interesting. How they market themselves. One guy posted > 100 million $$$ net worth and 1 million income, and declared himself a business man. Credible. But would you go out with that target on your back??? Another dude posted no pic of himself but only his arm with Rolex in front of his BMW steering wheel. Pathetic!

In countries where prostitution is legal, the women flat out ask how much. I may try my saying that "if you do not want me and just my money, forget about it" but I can usually get a working girl vibe from some women and I usually blow them off. If their photos show them to be really fine and I want them, I will just throw out a price. I will say though that the best fucks I have had abroad have been from women who do not give me a price.
I don't like it when people say all the women on SA are working girls because while probably the majority are, I have been with a dozen or more women who never set a price or would be offended if I gave them money for sex. I think guys lose out on the highest quality ladies if they treat all the women on seeking as working girls.

From your description you say you have 'leads' yet you have not paid a subscription. Pay the one month subscription and just see the difference.
Of course there will be girls that ask for extreme in the same way there is Lobster on every high restaurant menu. Just look over those ones and have some meet ups with your local girls that suit you.
Living the life.

Seeking has a very good thing going. They claim they have millions of subscribers. We do not know how many of them are actual paying subscribers.
Match.com has approximately 10.5 million paying subscribers and a revenue of $2.4 billion for 2020. Average subscription fee comes to slightly less than $20 monthly. Slightly more than half are international subscribers; even assuming international subscription fee is a bit lower, their US fee is not gargantuan. I think they have 3 tiers, Plus / Gold / Platinum, and none exceed $40 as far as I know. Note, the 10+ million includes not just Tinder but all their assets including Bumble, OKCupid, Hinge, etc.
We know SA fees are much higher at $90/ month and nearly $80+ if buying a 3 month package; even the recently discounted price was $67/ month for a short window last week and they run such promotions only a few times a year.
I don't expect SA has 10 mil paying subs, although their total members may be as many. For one, women seeking men are not paying. Also, the majority of the men are freeloaders just looking at the pics. But even if they have a million paying men, at nearly 3 times the monthly fee of Match.com, we can assume SA may have 30% rev of match.com.
Match.com is a publicly listed stock with a current value of nearly $40 billion. On a comparison basis, SA could be worth 30% of that? That would be $12 B. Even if SA is worth only half of that or even a quarter of that, it is still worth a very large amount.
The owner (s) of SA would be foolish to jeopardize that amount. They will take every precaution to give it an appearance of cleanliness, and be very diligent in removing all sorts of references to pay per meet, pay for sex, etc, let alone the explicit activities you mentioned.
I would, if I were the owner of SA.
Even from 5 years ago, SA has changed. It was a bit more wild then, and never heard of guys' accounts being suspended etc. Now, it is more commonplace.
That does not mean very explicit, perverted sex acts do not happen between parties that hooked up on SA but SA will not be the medium on which any of those are discussed. SA will pretend it is a high end meeting place where wealthy sugar daddies are helping out very pretty 20 something blondes. But most of the members are not wealthy and most of the women are also not 20-25 aged slim blonde cuties.
To me, SA is just a site where both parties know sex is on the table as a topic. It is upto them to make it happen, but that's about it.
SA might be a bit more lax in international locations for now but I wonder how long that would last. In the longer run, their best bet is to stay clean. Again, money rules and they would do anything to preserve the great thing they have going.

Seeking Arrangements might be as much work in Canada as the USA It's never going to challenge Mexico and Colombia on that front.
My very generalized experience is wherever pay for play is legal the overall attitudes toward sex are more easy-going. The increased competition from pay for play kind of puts young women in a different frame of mind.

Posts: 314Seeking Arrangements stiff "membership" fees worth it?
Hi guys, coming late into your conversation. Some posts here pointed me to S. A. For making pre-travel appointments and on the ground connections. So I tried it out. And it seems like I am getting some leads with relative ease. I am surprised actually. But since I just sighed up, I have not yet paid for subscription. Now they really make you do it because you can't even see the replies of the messages you sent unless you pay. It's pretty steep price (given how folks on this site sometimes wind themselves for years before they pay their one-time activation fee for PM, haha), like they want USD 90 per freaking month! That sure is a rip-off, but I wonder if that also means the girls are mostly just in their to get a shot at a 500 USD per night date. I saw some mainstream news and blog articles which tout this as an option for women to make big bucks.
What I see is a mixed basket. I actually see girls saying the want long time relationships. More often than not even. But not sure if all of that cuteness and the attention you're apparently getting there is just a bait to make us guys pay through our nose for the membership fees to then end up with some entitled drama queen who demands a Gucci handbag on first date in a shopping mall?

Other guys may play in the thirties divorcee bin but that just never seems to work for me. So hard to find an attractive gal and then some drama because she has kids or thinks she's all that. Early twenties is magic age. Free with their sexuality and few personal commitments. My filter is permanently set to 25 and under. I may troll high twenties if it's slim pickings. YMMV.

My local SA is littered with divorcees who were giving it out for free on Tinder and realize that they could be getting $$ for the same experience vis SA.
But I still think that for many females giving over their pussy without commitment is a step too far. They would be the ones asking crazy $$ on seeking or simply not even considering it. They are out of our decision pool.
The problem I see for SA is the number of male freeloaders and fuckwits that are fucking up the site.

Any American John knows that independent escorts (albeit the expensive ones) give far better service (and actually at a lower price in the USA) than the worthless and clinical Nevada brothels.
For Australia, most of the good reviews, and certainly all of the liberal service offerings that most of us want, are from independent escorts who advertise on Scarlet Blue. Those expensive escorts are not mentioned favorably here on ISG by the local contributors, presumably because of the cost. The Canadian reviewer who saw several Scarlet Blue ladies was happy with them. Australia has a review board that cannot be linked to as a result of ISG rules.
I think your impression of Spain is based on your experiences with the fully legal, licensed places like Felinas. There are much better (and less expensive) alternatives in Spain such as Vecinitas and Teensbcn and the Eden places, which are independents who share an incall place. A person who doesn't read your great Diva contributions for the United Kingdom and uses a random agency might be left with a bad impression of the United Kingdom, and I feel that the same often happens for guys whose only experience in Spain is with Felinas, Top Damas, Maison Rouge, etc.
The fully legal and licensed places in any country seem to draw many CBJ-only ladies. Presumably because they can't be dismissed for that, and because the customers are often naive tourists (and even locals) who won't research on sites like ISG to find the better options.
It will be interesting over time to see if Seeking Arrangement becomes a viable alternative to Scarlet Blue in Australia for wild-child local Australian ladies who provide real sex, including BBBJTCIM.
