I signed up to Seeking this week and thought I'd share some recent experiences. For starters...the scammers! Good lord, beware. Many fake accounts looking to prise data from you, often for blackmail. Loads of sob stories expecting up front charity etc. As other have said, it takes ages to filter through genuine ones. That said, it can work. So far I've had a student daytime date (£200) which sounds a lot but we met for coffee at 09.30..by 10.30 we were at it and she stayed until mid afternoon. If the rest are anything to go by the hefty membership fee is worthwhile.
I had arranged for a girl to travel up to London. I became suspicious of a few things and backed out. But since then we have video called and she does seem genuine. That's a top tip I'll be applying in the future. When things go to Whats app...ask to exchange a personalised video greeting. Perhaps it goes without saying but never give your own name, make sure social accounts don't have any public pics of you and of course remove any valuables/ID documents etc if entertaining and always trust your instincts. These aren't working girls who rely on reputation.
I have another date today, again daytime. Looking forward to meeting her to check her out. I have one booked for Sunday but made it clear it was FWB. we had been texting for a while and She still seemed keen to meet with that arrangement, a MILF who can't get out much. One more with another student booked for next week. Along the way there's been a lot of effort and it can occupy a LOT of time. I have a few others who are contenders but need to limit things. There are escorts on there for sure, but you can tell by their boundaries on time etc. Prices seem to range from FWB to £500 a meet and everything in between. It seems customary for the guy to offer the fee typically. I'm normally at the 200-250 mark but I think I should revise this according to daytime/overnight etc and who is doing the travelling. One girl has said no so far because of price, she wanted £400 and although hot, you just don't need to go that far - her point was that she was older (late thirties) and therefore needed more money than others on there (a strange thesis from the guy's side).
It feels more like tinder experience than AW, girls seem to be looking for attraction and money, not usually one or the other but there are obviously exceptions. Best not to jump in too soon with sexual requirements but get the convos going and make them feel comfortable/interested. Most want long term arrangements up front...but I make it clear that I prefer to meet casually a few times to get to know each other before heading into a longer term commitment.
There is definitely a horniness to the girls that escorts just don't match, but it needs to be nurtured a little...more stroking and willingness to engage in banter.
Golden rule...always video with them early...i know this is indiscrete but...most don't verify their profiles, even genuine ones ,so you can spent ages on scammers..they will even send voice notes etc. Or else, meet early and local and don't rely on the site messaging. The site video doesn't seem to work which is annoying. I've heard of a couple who operate on the site, he does the messaging and his partner does the voice notes etc..they are pro scammers looking to blackmail people..one example of many. I would say that if you are married, AW is far lower risk overall.
