Andrem7 - there is a "seeking/SA thread on the general/national board and one on here, the SE regional board (and probably every other regional board too) which is worth your time reading back a bit.
I am a fan of SA but its successful use depends on a number of factors. It is not a cheap alternative to AW, takes a lot of time, is frustrating because of fake profiles, scammers time wasters etc, can be expensive but when it works for you can be great!!! You have to be careful about being too clear on what you want otherwise you will get banned - any suggestion that you are offering money for sex is a ban!!
