I'm hoping I don't get dunked on too much for starting a new thread about Seeking Arrangement, but one topic that I haven't seen discussed much is a comparison of Seeking Arrangement across different countries around Europe and the wider world. As a somewhat long-term user of SA, I have used it quite extensively abroad in various European capitals, and can offer some thoughts on different cities (albeit maybe a bit out of date now), which I might try adding to this thread sometime. I wondered if this could be a useful place to share insights on things like allowances and how active the user base is in each place around Europe?
I'm looking at a city break around Europe in a month or two (in addition to a few work trips in the next month), and was trying to eye up which city would give the best combination of the below.
1. A decent user base on SA with the chance to meet lots of young local girls/students (generally 18-25yo) for dates and a couple of PPMs
2. Decent VFM leveraging GBP/local currency purchasing power for PPM
3. Cheap flights and AirBnB, cheap food/booze
4. Mixture of alternative SPs/massage places as a bit of variety
5. Interesting stuff to do alongside shagging
If the idea of a SA holiday/bit of fun alongside your business trip is alien to you, here's how it works. As a bit of context, I'm single guy, young-ish, decent earner, but I guess there's no reason this wouldn't work for most age groups.
- About 4-6 weeks out, start messaging girls who take your fancy. You'll need to send quite a few messages (bit of copying and pasting here and there), but for a big city you'll probably start to get chatting to a few hot young things on a friendly basis. Explain you'll be visiting for work and would like to meet someone local, lots of girls will reply quite positively since it compartmentalises things a bit more, and of course if you visit the same place often for work (even if just annually or something) it pays to make a new friend and be able to meet up several times.
- Once your trip approaches, start arranging specifics like an afternoon/evening to meet up, and set expectations with PPM (I've had some incredible PPMs for as little as 100 euros before). Discuss if you're meeting for drinks/to have dinner/go to an attraction, and whether it's a few hours or overnight etc., etc.
- Line up a few dates for each day/night you're there and free, but always be prepared for plans to change.
If this all sounds like a lot of work and quite different to just punting in an FKK or something, that's because it is. It's very much a dating holiday/vibe rather than just a punting kinda thing, but god when it works it's so worth it. Assuming I'm not the only member of this forum to do something similar so hoping this thread can maybe help in sharing knowledge.
Current Best Seeking Cities in EuropeIn my experience, London is probably one of the best cities in the world for Seeking currently, but obviously with that comes higher PPM allowances/expectations, and well, just being a smaller fish in a bigger pond. However, the other top three I think are probably...
1. Lisbon - great, bit cheaper, but slightly smaller user base
2. Berlin - bit cheaper than London but not much
3. Paris - essentially the same as London but you just do everything in French
Current plan is to explore Bucharest, which seems to have a very high user base and would tick the other requirements above, but I'm wondering if fellow UKP members might have insight to share?
Perhaps useful contributions could be sharing any experiences of Seeking in other cities, with rough PPM amounts and other tips?
