Just Joined Seeking Arrangement

I bought a premium account from day one so I don't know honestly. I think without a premium account you can only reply to premium users but I could be wrong. @Frenchy do I recall correctly that you started out with a standard account?

@Shagwell - My experience with inquiries from distant SBs is the same as @wraithfive's. I have no reason to think that they are sakura/fake profiles, but they may well include scammers and also legit "cam girls" looking for customers. There are also some who want you to fly them to you for a first date. There are SDs who do this, and I know one SB who takes such offers regularly and does ok financially.

I am pretty sure there is no way to read or respond to messages without upgrading to Premium membership. If you pay SA nothing, you can browse and be browsed but that is all.

I upgraded as soon as I got messages from potential SBs, to be able to read those messages . Smart marketing where other users are basically doing the selling !
But it was worth it. Many contacts , 6 initial dates , 2 SBs , 1 being a real keeper (a Brit, can you believe it?!!!! Frenchy with a Brit ! :eek::ROFLMAO::hungry:)

What roughly are the qualifications for keeper status?

Well I'm terrible at setting criteria. I was damn sure "not from England" would be very high on the list (together with "being a female" and "less than 90 year old") but here you go... :D
(Ok, at least I had those two other criteria checked)

You are so picky! I don't know for SB but for marriage the perfect girl's three numbers are 90-40-90. That is 90 million euros in the bank, 40 degrees Celsius of fever and 90 years of age...

Haha, I've definitely been surprised by what I end up liking as a "keeper" at times.

Well, I'm very much an anglophile so I'm just hoping she's still on SA so I can steal her away :D

I thought the idea of SA was sharing? :p

And yeah, there are good looking girls in UK. But you have to act fast as they are all in short student visas! :ROFLMAO:

Well now that we know there are girls in Shibuya , I suppose pretty much anything is possible...

We don't actually know it, as far as I know it is still an unconfirmed rumour. Someone really should take one for the team and confirm. I would but that would mean I need to go outside and I don't feel safe outside my mom's basement.

Well as a general rule I don't require exclusivity from any of my SB's and vice versa. But this is a special case in which a young British girl has fallen under the influence of a dastardly Frenchman :ROFLMAO:.

So it is more like a rescue operation? Saving Sugar Babe Ryan? Or is it Saving the Privates of Ryan?

But on the other hand it might be she is just scamming him. Come on, it cannot be real love, he is French! :eek:

I am the one who needs to be saved!
She's too energetic in bed for my modest (physical) means and needs! :D
But she is not a clock-watcher at all, on a per-hour basis I must say she is in fact very reasonable . And (thank God) when together we don't spend all this time on sex.
I kinda got rid of the usual English/French awkwardness by forgiving her ascendants for all my ascendants they certainly killed and I hope Vice-versa. :)
I won't eat Marmite though . Or jelly. There are some limits.
 
One thing I've learned is that time is of the essence! There's no point in going to the trouble of sending messages back and forth many times unless I you are going to meet the lady soon. Otherwise she moves on to someone else.

I found this out the hard way.

That's true. I'm more like a "hey I think I will like you let's meet" kind of guy and it usually ended up in either the worst disasters or the best encounters. Overall I think it's better to not miss the keepers even if the price to pay is to occasionally spend a meal or drinks for the others. Also spending a lot of time in back and forth emails is not my idea of fun.
 
I gave up on SA. Had a couple of good experiences. But it's a huge time sink. And some people tend to play games to some extent. You spend time emailing back and forth, and if you don't seal the deal people move on. Too many concerns. P4P is something I consider myself to be an expert on in Japan. I understand it. I know how to stay safe.

SA had a large learning curve.

For now at least P4P works.

This is also why i am not active on SA anymore. Huge waste of time.
