Some good advice on here and some total fantatsists.
Ive been a member of SA since it first started in the UK, and it has changed almost beyond recognition. Ive done the London thing, Z listers/ex failed coked up models, Ive done arrangements with single mums up North, USA,OZ, Spain,etc I had A big Russian once who i thought was gonna kill me

, and young girls so sweet, I couldnt believe the how the nerves impacted on some of them,(of course these ones should be handled as such) but they are in need on cash and yes in some cases mentoring. I have mentored and still am supporting one girl and her family 4 years later, she turns 25 in July.
Ive had scammers, where the (supposed) big brothers and big dad turn up after the deed trying to be threatening, Ive had a girl wanting bruises so bad that she obvs needed help,(everything just no broken bones was the remit) Ive been with girls who have gone on to successful careers and I still speak to after 3 or 4 years, Ive seen most of it I reckon. and Ill tell you .....the site was called seeking arrangement, and was set up for "sugar babies" and "sugar daddies" to connect, no mongerels looking to use the innocent ones. EG see wild bills sds hodden cam videos from USA, slimeball.
Now back in the day if you aint got the dough to even join up then you should have questioned whether the site is right for you. If you are on looking for freebies, then again you should asked yourself the same question.
In some guys minds they thing after they have met and fucked a girl, because she hasnt asked outright for the money doesnt mean she didnt want it, THEY ALL want it, and yes some prefer gifts etc as it takes away the "escort" vibe, but they all signed up because the site promoted the "sugar". Just because they didnt ask, could have meant they are nervous, felt like a whore ( ive had many a girl cry when the money time came) so have many other Sds on the locked thread.
Ive had long term Sbs tell me about guys who "fucked them over" , but probably in some instances, this is where the guy THINKS its a freebie because she was too scared to ask, and the guys dont even realise, remember in some cases these girls are 18-21 yo and you've just fucked the living daylights out of them, possibly for the first time in there lives.
There are obvioulsy some hard noses bitches/scammers/blokes etc on there too, pic sellers, money up front blah blah blah but in general it used to be girls looking for the golden ticket., sold as such by Brandon Wade and his cronies.
Now fast forward 1028-2019, it is now more of a market place to trade "hours worths" of sex and not so much connection/help/mentoring (and yes sex) over weeks/months even years.
Its got more hard nose scammers/girls trying to get a few quid the other way round USING blokes, not blokes using girls. The prossie vibe is easy 50% Id say and when I say prossie vibe, i mean girls who dont have the time/courage/position to go to full time escorting. The what id call, "normal" Sbs, are still easy enough to spot , but are becoming more rare, as the same vibe has spread to tinder (sd profiles) craigslist yes craigslist, then the other copycat sites, whatsyourprice (not the best) secrectbenefits (shite) sugardaddy uk (a joke) loads of em, none really compare to SA.
One thing I would say, is forget the freebie aspect people on here are peddling and man the fuck up, pay your dues, help someone out with what they are asking and the rewards can follow.
We had a guy or 2 on the locked down thread a few years ago bragging
that the girls in the end PAID HIM,

to let him fuck them in the garden shed, sometimes 3somes???
now no offence YOBRAA but your previous name on here wasnt Andy69 was it ??? as he started like your comments, and had a very similar "bragging" style, and he was laughed off the other thread. (was he called andy??...fk knows think he was) Im sure TP will correct me of Im wrong.
Anyway, Sa is not what it used to be, and there aint freebies flowing all over, but yes Its worth a months subs to see for yourself and decide if you can play the long game, Ive met many cracking girls form there, and see plenty from time to time for erm "a brew"

even now, BUT if you aint got the dough , you know where to go

Its also good to know AW is still there for the "professional" girls who will get the job done when required

Good luck
