A couple of observations from me. feel free to chime in gents and add.
I’ve seen the following categories on SA:
1. Straight up hookers - pro/photoshopped pics, EEs - avoid
2. Pro SBs – ridic allowances and as above
3. Platonics – even more ridic and avoid
4. Pic/vid/panty sellers and scammers - avoid
5. Students – very flaky, some very disillusioned but some good gems
6. Middle grounders – understand they need to provide sex for some sort of consideration whether that is ppm/monthly allowance or upmarket dinner and drinks.
7. Daters – interesting category that want to rub shoulders with wealthy and/or successful men
This isn’t an exhaustive list and pretty generalised.
You should register as an SB and see the quality of what else is out there. Seriously, if you are a ‘normal’ guy, you’ll do pretty well. I’d say:
- Don’t be overly sexualised in your prof
- Put up some sort of picture, even if you blur your face
- Don’t put your wealth is £10m or anything else ridic (youll be surprised at how many middle aged guys have taken a selfie in their parent’s dated bathroom and put they earn 1m a year!)
- Avoid any horror selfies. I’d go as far as saying avoid any shirtless shots – even if youre ripped
- Keep the text normal, show some personality and don’t try and be too ‘alpha’
Once you get talking to a SB, run game like you would do on tinder/bumble etc. Avoid transactional or sexualised chat as a lot of these girls don’t want to ‘feel’ like an escort – and some are quite easily startled. Being younger, cooler, fitter and having some game will help you get laid easier but not necessarily cheaper.
Some other tips from me:
- avoid any girl with a trout pout – they are invariably hookers, EEs, pro SDs with ridic demands and/or thick as sh*t
- avoid any profiles which have the words ‘spoilt’
- i'm wary of the girls who have been on there for over a year or less than 2 weeks
+ try and move the conversation the conversation over to whatsapp within 5 messages.
+ a quick phone call before a meet can sometimes wean out the flakers
+ non social media linked punting phone etc
- i personally avoid anyone giving me their kik. kik can be less personal than a phone number and hence there are a higher % of scammer/timewasters.
+ don’t pay upfront; includes train tickets and meets (be wary of girls who would take money and run out a bar)
+ carry plenty condoms, a lot of girls are pretty blasé about protection and there may be a line of thought that SBs could be riskier than hookers
- Don’t pre book any hotel rooms. Dayuse is great and you don’t get burned if you don’t use.
~ against my better judgement – ive brought girls back to my flat (I’ve got a decent place in central in a decent area) and the jurys still out for me on this – better to trust your judgement. My view is that the women on SA are more vindictive and crazier than on tinder/bumble etc
- students for me are the flakiest and never turn up on time. Probably because they haven’t matured yet but you can find good ‘value’ in this category.
As everyone else has mentioned, its hugely time consuming but can be extremely fun... enjoy
Very good post, cheers.
Question to you (and any other SA users reading this) - how would you compare SA to apps like Tinder & Bumble (even though there are differences between those apps themselves)? Specifically in terms of:
- Overall effort & time spent
- Attractiveness of the girls you meet
- How often the first meet ends in sex
- Quality of the sex
Obviously I'm well aware that answering the above will involve big generalisations and significantly depends on many personal factors (including location, what you're like, the approach you take (on the apps and SA), what you negotiate/offer to pay etc) but any attempt at answering would be appreciated.
I signed up to seeking but didn't pay for it. Did a search and there was about 1 girl in the area and looked a right minger. This was searching in a reasonably large city too... do you have to pay to see all search results or something?
It sounds like you were doing something wrong with your search. Unless something has changed in the past few months, when I last searched (as a free member, I've never paid) in Manchester I got loads of results. Even when I did a search in the small city of Oxford, I got numerous results (note the fairly specific/restrictive search criteria):
Searching just in Oxford for girls aged 18-28 shows around 100 profiles who've been active within the past 3 days.
No
Just got tired of all the lame punts and tried something different
You've had well over 2 years to review these "lame punts" so it's a shame you've never bothered and are happy for other guys to end up having the same lame punts. Please make an effort to rectify that before you continue posting in this much more superfluous thread.
I'm not in a position to leave any reviews ATM. Sorry, I realise it's expected but it's unlikely until I get more of a feel for this game.
You absolutely are in a position to leave reviews, at the very least you could review the WG you mentioned earlier:
Unfortunately I don't, so I accept the occasional company of a local SP despite it falling well short of what I actually want.
Here's a handy guide so you know what to include (you only really need to read the summary):
External Link/Members OnlyAfter a string of very disappointing punts
Please review these punts, don't let it happen to others as well. Such reviews are often the most helpful things someone can post. I appreciate that you're a new member, for help see the the review writing guide that I linked above.
