I wonder if the problem is with the time involved?
I got a good response off SB and had conversations with several of the ladies and I would say that several were willing to meet - knock off the stupid money (£300 for a dinner date and £450 for intimacy was my fave) girls and there were still a good handful of serious lasses -I don't go for the FAF cohort as they usually overvalue what they do and want.
However, I did get the pleasure several times of a pretty 19 year old who was up for most things including videoing it all for a massively reasonable rate. But she was time intensive - 2-4 hours needed during the week plus time on eternal texting. And then even she then got awkward because I was not committed to seeing just her and I was worried that we I was heading for a EAS on her part.
The energy and time needed to maintain conversations with multiple girls is draining and I think that whilst its all well and good during the chase, once you have caught them, it becomes a bloody chore.
Maybe I am getting too cynical in my old age
I think I've become used to Seeking as there's an intensity to the 'hunt' as it were as you try to get as much in whilst you're still in the subs period. On SB, it could be 2 to 3 days before I get any replies at all whereas on SA, it's usually quite constant throughout the day. I get that the conversations don't expire but not much point if they never reply.
Don't think it's the type of girls either. I have contacted FAF ones as well as others, but only ones who have viewed my profile and favourited me as well as those who msg first. I never msg anyone blind. I've gone for FAF on SA and have had quite a bit of success on there. It'd be interesting to know what the proportion of girls to guys are on SB and SA.
And totally agree with the filtered photos and verification video disconnect. Also 95% of them look like they've just woken up in bed (lots literally taken in bed with no makeup) and slurred their way through the recording. You think "christ, she's not going to be able to string a sentence together for a conversation, I hope she's used her jaw muscles to practice sucking cock..."
Despite all this, massive thanks to Natwest for starting this thread it's been interesting albiet not too fruitful.
