Meh. Cheap, like expensive, is in the eye of the beholder. And these kinds of arrangments don't have to be just about money. Broaden your horizons.

It was 9 days on and off and I gave him time on his own whenever he wanted it. Some of the guys on the site are background checked. As for him, he gave me his real name and I checked his social media profile and stuff like that. We skyped several times before meeting and I was very comfortable.
 
I realize I probably lucked into a very good -- and perhaps unique -- experience. I wouldn't want anyone to get the impression that it is like that on that site all the time. I had to wade through a bunch of cancelations, the guy who insisted on me having every conceivable thing to suit his insane vegan diet, and the plethora of twinks. But I did strike gold eventually.
 
But it is just one man's experience. I'm sure others have bad ones to go with the good one.

Seeking arrangments is not a catch all for one type of situation contrary to what this poster thinks. Many of the guys on that site are escorts looking for sex, some are looking for monthly things, some are looking for little support, some are looking for a lot of support. It is what you and the other party make it and not some preconceived thing that is ordained by the urban dictionary.

From which side?
 
I joined, filled out my profile, paid my $70 and then started searching for "sugar babies" -- an awful term -- and started getting messages myself. There are a few problems with the site in particular body type. The choices are basically average, a few extra pounds, slim, overweight and athletic. So almost all the guys choose "athletic" which can range the gamut.
 
I asked for more pics, went to email and see how it went. I had a couple of false starts -- guys who seemed interested but then backed out at the last minute. But I do feel it was worth it for where I ended up.
 
There are some sugar babies who have been on there 5 or 6 years. There are some escorts as well although that seems to be discouraged.
 
Happy to answer any other questions.

Well, I thought the whole thing sounded kinda lame but I had a little time on my hands so I created a profile. I can't say I found much in the first few days: twinks, fakes, flakes, the usual assortment of game players. Then I met a guy who is an aspiring fitness model based in Toronto. I took a leap of faith and flew him to New York. Well, we just spent the better part of the past 10 days at my place in CT. It was amazing. He's 23, ripped, beautiful, and for this initially visit all he wanted was his airfare and other expenses covered.
 
So, perhaps, it's not a bad site after all. It was worth the $70 initial fee.

As the person who started this thread more than a year ago, I decided to take a look at what's been posted. Tons. And lots of it good. As for me? Well, one of the reasons I've not been on here for a long time is that I met someone from Seeking Arrangements. And we've been in a "relationship" since late summer of 2016. I had quite a few good experiences and quite a few bad ones (including some really clueless guys). Then in last summer of last year, I came upon a 25 year old guy on the site. He's 4.5 hours from Manhattan. He's 25, putting himself through college at a very good school, teaches gymnastics, and has his own training business/gym. He's very self-sufficient, has been on his own since he was 19. Comes from a solid middle class family who live upstate. He called himself an "alpha with a heart." Loves older men, can't relate to young people his age. And he does physique competitions. We texted for a couple days, I thought it had promise so we agreed to meet halfway at a hotel. Because of his limited schedule he said he'd have to leave in the middle of the night to get back for a client appointment at 6 am ....
 
So we met. It was non-stop talking for 3 hours as we instantly got along. He was very masculine, very alpha. At one point, he said "get over here" and he got on top of me and we stated making out and fooling around. We went to dinner and then settled in to watch a movie in bed. He was obviously very tired (he seems to be going 24/7) and at one point he fell asleep. I let him sleep. I thought it was clear that we had made a connection and that I would be interested in an arrangement with this guy. I was sound asleep and then around 3:30 I felt movement. I figured he got up to leave. I was half asleep when -- not saying a word -- as he was leaving he leaned over me and kissed me on the forehead. I thought this is a keeper.
 
We spent several weeks back and forth texting -- he unsure if he had the time to do this but wanting to -- but I felt there was something good here. So we eventually settled on a week to go to my lake house. We discussed money and we were all set. By the end of the first day, it was clear something was going on. I wanted to say something, he sensed it and said go ahead. I told him it was crazy but I really liked him and it would be a real fantasy to date. He said "why do you think it's a fantasy ...."
 
It's 7 months later, and we're still together. We realized that week we had a real connection and decided we should be together. No money has ever exchanged hands. I've tried helping him out from time to time but I usually have to be some money in his jacket pocket or something. He really doesn't want it but I know he could use it. He's very drived, goal oriented, ambitious ... we haven't had a cross word or argument. Our only real conflict is that because he's so busy we don't get to see each other as much as we'd like.
 
I wake up each day thinking this is too good to be true but then I get a text in the morning saying "good morning sweetie, have a great day, love you ..." and I realize that it is really happening. He's basically a younger, way hotter, more masculine version of me ....
 
So I'd have to call Seeking Arrangements a success for me. I didn't find what I was seeking there (something uncomplicated) but I think I've found something much better. I have no idea how long this will last but I'm very happy for right now.

Is facial hair becoming more common? I notice it with my students but also lots of escorts. I sort of thought it went out with James Garfield's death.

Only the ones who list their age as 32

I've never seen this show, but, I read an interview with 20 year old Alexander Ludwig (he was the hunk in the first Hunger Games movie) who debuts in the new season as the son of Travis Fimmel (the lead character and former Calvin Klein model). This sentence in the review made me go WILD:
 
"We were playful off camera. Just before a take we'd start wrestling and see who could take the other. At the start he was able to take me. I think by the end of the shoot we were pretty even."
 
They're both 180 but Ludwig is 6'1" and Fimmel 5'11".
 
Forget the show, why don't they just film that?

Oh, and for those who have asked. I changed the city he's from and his age because I'm smart enough to know that others will try and find him and snatch him up. Not gonna happen guys

Pacino hasn't given a really good performance since around 1979.

I caught this on ITV when it ran many months ago. Apparently completely inaccurate but totally delightful in every respect. It was ITV's most popular new show in ages and has been renewed for a second season. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Matt Damon gives one of the best performances of the year (along with Michael B. Jordan, Michael Caine, Tom Courtenay, and Eddie Redmayne) in this Ridley Scott film. Some are put off thinking it's about Martians but the Martian is actually Matt Damon's character. I thought it was a beautiful film filled with great performances (from Chastain, Daniel, Ejiofor, Bean, even Sebastian Stan who I didn't recognize at first) with a first rate script and stunning photography. I loved every minute of it.

Oh, and for those who have asked. I changed the city he's from and his age because I'm smart enough to know that others will try and find him and snatch him up. Not gonna happen guys

If that's success, count me OUT.
