I would possibly re-join, but I'm not really wanting to pay £89 at present. Tinder is empty, but whether girls out there are short of cash due to being out of work (or just bored at home), and with Xmas approaching (not that half the country can go out anywhere to spend it on drinking as we'll all be in Tier 3 anyway) are willing to put out for it, I'm not sure. Hotels are problematic in places too i.e. NW England.
You might have though they would be trying to get more cash coming in by offering deals, unless a lot of men are taking advantage of the situation.
When I first joined SA, I tended to be a bit more blunt and ask straight out about intimacy / sex. Most would come back and say they were fine with it (although some did have a slightly different definition of intimacy and/or NSA, which does not mean no sex something-or-other). Some would state an amount they were looking for, others reject or accept what you offered, and others would never mention anything.
I'm sure most these days know the score, but quite a few still will completely avoid the subject which makes things harder to work out. Either they have no intention of ever dropping their knickers and may string you along for dates etc., or they might be seeing if you're not just after the one thing, even though you ultimately probably are.
I was more cautious recently especially with a reduced pool to work with. Sometimes you can't afford to blow off woman after woman if they don't match your criteria.
Fine if you're in a big city, loads of students about (which isn't happening this year), or you have varied tastes, and aren't just looking for say a sweet and innocent 18-23yo student / girl next door type (although half of these are well versed in the site regardless of the impression they might initially give).
I avoid the too good to be true looking ones, Instagram model types, ones with the same picture as 3 years ago etc. so it does cut down options even if 100s in say Manchester.
At the end of the day though, if the women are willing to put some effort in for money, then it's best to try and make sure you're not getting played and you get what you want.
The last couple I went with asked for the cash during the meets and this is something I should have made clear from the off. No cash until the end, with the possibly of leaving it in plain sight but not too close for her to grab it and run.
