So true! It is an effort but it can pay off when you find the right fella. Going on my first trip with a foreign student I met a few weeks ago. Our first date was a quiet dinner. Second date was dinner at my place. This coming week, work is sending me out of town. It was cheaper to fly out early so I booked a flight for today (Saturday morning) so I could enjoy the city over the weekend. Flights were so cheap, I offered him the opportunity to join me and he thought it was a great idea. Hoping for a great weekend. He asks very little - time and affection. How can I say no? 😁 + Just Sayin, + FrankR, + José Soplanucas and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I might be on the way to a success story. Newbie ad. Texted back and forth with this guy over the last few days. He says he's a straight college guy with a part time job. Since he's straight he would probably not be comfortable with anything physical We talked about setting up a meeting. Sent me a face pic, very handsome guy. Then started the monetary negotiations. I suggested meeting for dinner and see where things go from there. (He had said by now that he wouldn't necessarily rule out anything sexual) He said he'd do a 30 minute coffee date meeting for free, but beyond that he would have other requirements. I asked what he had in mind. Dinner up to 2 hrs - $300 Sleepover or cuddling/non-intimate contact - $500 Pictures/videos- $50-$100 each In-person nudity, but no contact - $350 I wished him the best of luck finding what he's looking for. He seems like a nice guy but these numbers are just so out there. I countered with $300 for a meeting with intimate contact. But we were clearly at an impasse. Yeah that’s just a guy who doesn’t know he’s an escort yet. It’s a fine line but he crossed it. + mature_guy, HoseMaster, MscleLovr and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same policy - I need to see them face to face, even if it is a video call, before I am willing to provide any aid. There are just too many scammers out there. + goosh69, HoseMaster and MikeBiDude 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowcatzxxx Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Hi all! Posting on this site to ask a question of people who have been paying members with messaging capabilities. (I'm still coasting/cruising on the free account level.) I notice a number of attractive guys who have not been on the site for some time. Some of them a month, some of them a few months, and a few of them for a year. In fact, the young guy I found most interesting (bisexual, posing with a beautiful young woman) hasn't been on for a year. So ... what has been people's experience with babies who haven't been whatever the site calls "active" for a while? Do they get sent messages anyway and get in touch? Or is that simply throwing a text (and time) down the drain? Thanks for any insights/experiences you can offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas! Have had that experience a couple of times, on Grindr and (more recently) on DaddyHunt (which I think I'll cancel before it renews). I would definitely prefer a clear "no thank you" which wouldn't waste so much time. xyz48B and kko123 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTMike Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 My experience has been that often the SB's will create profiles and will come on and off based on things going on with their lives and sometimes if you "Favorite" them you can see how intermittently they may or may not be active. Also sometimes they ditch an older profile and start with new ones for different reasons. I know that because in a few cases i was in contact with them off the site through Text or Snap or WhatsApp and they explain why chose to make new profiles. But know in general that the site's policy is that after messages after been posted greater than 6 months they automatically get deleted. So for sure if it's been longer than that even if the person you communicating with intends to engage or not old messages are no longer visible. And I'll add that some of the guys who are legit and not scammers have made newer profiles abd forgot to delete their prior one, so in some cases they will have multiple profiles (even with overlapping photo's) and not realize it.

Penn7 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 For the last few months, I found SA not to be worth the time or money. The standard monthly rate just to be able to read or send emails had gone up to $100 (up from $75, I believe) -- and they had the nerve to say it was going to go up AGAIN (Who do they think they are, the cable company? haha). I understand that it's supposed to be for those who can afford a SB, but above a certain point, the rates just got greedy & I'd rather spend the money on an actual SB or other things. I figured they might send me a better discount offer if I flat-out deleted the account, but they did not. (So if you're hoping for a discount, don't do that, lol.) But at least I'm not wasting time on it, or on messages from guys who just happen to respond after I let a month's subscription run out. I did create an account on the lesser-used (at least in DC area) sugardaddy.com. Costs the equivalent of $10 each (one-time, per guy) to unlock an email from an SB but I only have to spend that if I've looked at the profile & think it's worth it. If SA would get less greedy and drop their monthly rate to something like $50, I'd probably go back.

MscleLovr Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 5 hours ago, xyz48B said: What is the “going rate?” There’s no such thing as a “going rate”. And I must say I’m perplexed @xyz48B by your response to @goosh69’s answer to your earlier question. It’s a process to find a boyfriend and it’s not as simple as hiring a guy for a date. I was on Seeking some years ago and it worked out well for me. I had a lot of messages and before it became serious, I took the contact with guys offsite using WhatsApp and email. I had numerous dates with a series of attractive young men. Some had inflated ideas of what their company was ‘worth’ but I’d argue that those who are serious (about meeting an older man, and wanting more than a date) were realistic in their demands. I invited a lot of guys to dinner and a few stayed for breakfast. I also took the most promising guys on trips for a long weekend at first, then overseas. Over time, I must have spent thousands. But I have money to spare, and I had a great time with some handsome young men with nice bodies so I don’t regret my spending. But if you must have a specific figure @xyz48B I’d say that Seeking and a ‘sugar-baby’ are not for you unless you have a spare $25-50k a year to spend on this process. + goosh69, BSR, ekoile and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
