I'm very tempted to give SA a go, but there's a few things putting me off...
1. The membership fee is a joke! Up to £30 or so would be fair, I think.
2. It seems like it's a lot of work, almost as much as actual dating. I'm single and I've been on a dating site for ages with no success. Somehow, I'm sceptical that some hottie would spend the night with me for £300...
3. Unlike girls from AW or agencies there are no reviews, so it's a lot harder to judge what you're getting into.
My 2 pennies anyway, if it wasn't so expensive I'd probably take the plunge.
I have been a member on Seeking a few times. I’ll reply to some of the point you make.
1) I think membership was £40 per month when I first joined, now £70. Yes it is a lot of money but that’s the whole point of Seeking; if membership was affordable to loads of guys then every Tom, Dick and xyfek would be a member and it would be like any dating site where guys massively outnumber girls. By having a membership fee for guys that is a bit on the high side this means there’s less guys than girls on the site which makes the odds on meeting attractive girls higher.
2) I’m a very average guy in my early 50s and I have fucked quite a few different girls from the site. Maximum I have paid any girl is £250, lowest is £100. Yes you do have to add drinks, maybe dinner, hotel costs (unless one of you are willing to accommodate) so it does all add up. But remember that you are not paying someone who has not fucked multiple men already that day, and you are not paying per hour. And if you both agree to have some bedroom fun it’s because you both want to.
3) The biggest issue with Seeking are the number of timewasters, flakes and scammers. So long as you keep your wits around you and follow your gut instinct then you won’t get scammed, and certainly I have not. I’ve probably met around 20 girls from Seeking over the past 3 years and only two have disappointed me in terms of how crap they were in bed. The rest have generally been excellent shags with younger attractive girls that I wouldn’t have a hope to fuck in any other situation.
My last two regulars have been a 23 year old Nepalese slim student nurse and a 30s English slim tall milf with great tits. I’d put both at 7/10 in terms of looks. Most importantly both are much better shags and better value for money than seeing my favourite girl on AW who charges £120 per hour.
