Seeking Arrangements

I was banned from the website within an hour of creating a profile. I was threatened when asked why!

--------------------Prostitution runs all over on this site and management does not care------------------------

Ah... I'm a 22 year old female, I'm Latin, and in shape with no kids or anything. Very feminine.

First off if youre expecting to be paid hundreds of dollars to go out to eat with somebody, or cuddle on a couch, think again.

Now will they pay for your food? Yes. Some may even buy you a few extras. But cash in hand for something so platonic like that just does not exist here. About 90% of them expect sex. Most of them are mainly paying to sleep with you when it comes down to it. Use to your own discretion on that one. If you sleep with someone for "companionship" get your money FIRST. You have something to lose- they don't.

Stay away from anyone under 30-35. Seriously. No 22 year old "sugar daddy" is making anything more than 70k a year. It just doesn't work you graduate college and suddenly make 6 figures. Be logical. Also- many of the young SD's are vulgar as hell. They ask for tons of naked pictures, one actually kept face timing me. It felt like high school all over again. As unflattering as it might be for some- your real deal is with dudes in their 40's+. Stay

Stay away from African American men. This is coming from someone who grew up in the hood and I am colored myself. Black men just don't pay for these things- it's not in their nature. Now all gang banging and street boys are joining this website and it's a joke. You read their profile and they come off mad girls want money- and act like we all owe them something because they're black and attractive lol- next...

My advice-
Don't take checks, don't give your bank number to anyone, and ask for cash per meet until trust is built. Tell someone of a trusted source where you're going and let them know that's the plan. You wouldn't believe how much people disappear once you let them know you're being cautious.

Go figure.

I'm looking for older man who wants to give ii up and live. Love to dominate sex and mix up alot of things hmm

I renew my account and on the same day they banned my account and charge for the full month... Scamm

Dudes - Here's the con... you pay around $100 a month to look at the online catalogue of all the potential sugar babies, prostitutes, and scam artists in your area. Some are real, most are fake, but Brandon gets paid no matter what. Most messages sent to the really hot women will go unanswered, those are the bots. The prostitutes will reply, that's why they are there, just realize you are messaging back and forth with the pimp most of the time. The scam artists come in two varieties; a) the pre-pay through Venmo or PayPal type or b) say what you want to hear, meet, collect, underdeliver, then ghost type. One in every 30 women on the site may be an actual sugar baby, but they won't look like a model, just an FYI. Playing sugar daddy is a lot like gambling, if you can't afford to outlay some serious cash, maybe you shouldn't do it. Getting scammed is part of your risk, you can minimize this, but not entirely. If you don't want to get reported, be the first to block the sketchy pots.

Women - Brandon has worded everything very carefully in order to get you to make up a profile, because he needs men paying him to view your pretty pics. He actually has more men online than women, they're just not sugar daddies. In many ways he is 'grooming' you to believe that you have some kind of feminist control over an arrangement and men will pay you just to have the privilege of taking you out to dinner. Rich, powerful men simply don't tolerate this idea or concept. Most of the real sugar daddies have moved on from SA. It's been a huge waste of time lately, even more than it's been a waste of money, and our time is much more valuable than yours. Rich men do this because they want a sure thing and don't want to be with an everyday ratchet type of woman. The wining and dining, gift giving, exotic vacations all adds to the thrill of the chase and minimizes the dirty, transactional parts of an arrangement. No real sugar daddy will tolerate a 'Platonic' arrangement for any length of time, only the inexperienced or salt daddies will agree to to this. Another pretty face is just a click away.

Message sent also to Mr. Brandon Wade, CEO of seekingarrangement.com

I am also writing here because I've had no luck through the common communication channels of the website seekingarrangement.com and its CEO.
I've purchased a premium 1-month membership and after only a few days my account has been deleted without any notification. Upon contacting customer support, the only answer I received was that they had detected fraudulent activity from my account so it has been deleted and that they couldn't and weren't going to give me any explanation.
This is unacceptable. The normal way of dealing with any suspicion of fraudulent activity would be to contact the customer and try to find out what the problem is. The money was taken from my account without problems through 2buysafe.com. I've double checked that with my bank.
The only problem I can think of is that I'm connecting to the Internet through various VPNs, because of my work and my company's policies, which will not allow me to connect to the Internet via direct channels. So, there may have been a discrepancy between my country of residence, and my IPs, which may be from different countries. Apart from this, I cannot think of any other reason.
Some of this website's clients should very important people, to whom privacy matters more than anything. I took for granted that this company relied on such clients and that their needs were more than obvious to them, but obviously I was wrong.
I find the manner in which seekingarrangement.com has managed this incident very poor and disrespectful towards a paying customer, and I have requested either immediate re-activation of my account or a full refund. No answer yet. This is not the way to deal with clients. You cannot take someone's money and then deny them the service they've paid for, or at least an explanation!
So, avoid them at all costs!

I've been on this site 2years and many men seem to think a sugar baby is just an escort that you pay one small flat fee for sex as oppose to a real escort that you would pay per hour. It was fine with me since I only wanted a little supplemental income but ladies should be aware that's really what they are going to find most on this site-guys looking for cheap sex. If you're looking for one guy who's going to pay for your entire life and lavish you in extravagance you're going to be looking for a very long time. Those women you read about who are living the high life thanks to their uber rich sugar daddy are the exception NOT the norm. I'm a part time model with photos many thought were fake until they met me in person AND I'm near a major city (30min train ride to NYC) and the best I've been able to get on this site was $500 per visit from a gentleman in Manhattan. And only once have I had someone offer a monthly allowance instead of a per visit amount
Most of the men SAY they do not want a prostitute/escort whatever, but at the end of the day they still just want to buy sex! Go figure! Many of the men I spoke to didn't even want to do an introductory dinner/lunch/coffee, Just straight to the physical part... But still insisted they weren't looking for an escort lol! They complain about women looking for pay for play but that is all they offer you lol! Once I stopped trying to give them what they SAID they wanted and started giving them what they actually wanted I had a much less frustrating more successful experience with the site.
I'm sure many women will agree they've had a similar time on the site
And sidenote I am a woman of color and I get messages from all races on the site so I don't agree with the racist assessment. More likely that woman didn't get messages because she's simply not as attractive as she thinks she is

When I first joined I had high hopes but now not so much. While there are real profiles, these days it seems to be more fakes if anything.

If you're looking for something real chances are it honestly won't happen. Many of the guys say they want this and that but they want escorts or someone they normally wouldn't get in real life.

I'm a younger lgbtq male of color so of course it's not as easy for me as even on the gay side you basically see no blacks, a lot of racism etc.

Granted there are some sleezeballs I have met some okay fellows unfortunately it didn't go anywhere.

After a while you'll see it's the same faces, and basically that most profiles seem to be bots or fakes. Majority of the guys are also married, so they would want someone who they can pass off as a friend or family member to be discreet.

There's a big prefence on age as well, to some of them the younger the better.

All in all I think I'm going to delete it as I said most seem to be fake, or their profiles don't match their actions. Location is a big factor as well and I'm not in a prime location. As I said most are married so if you're not local, chances are it's a no go.

Most of the time they may not respond or even when they do the conversations are like pulling teeth. You'll come across profiles where the guys are explicitly stating they have no issue with distance and are willing to bring you to meet etc but upon writing they claim a ticket is too expensive.

So I have to agree with another review that some on there just want an easy lay without actually doing anything, basically faking the funk. I've also heard a lot of horror stories with scamming. Which is unfortunate because it makes it hard for genuine people to actually meet.

Beware young ladies. If you are serious about joining this site please become familiar with the following terms: sociopath, NPD, borderline, bipolar, gaslighting, all forms of abuse (mental, emotional, physical, financial. The type of men that are on this site usually fall into one of these categories. Think about it... he is on this site because he is incapable of having meaningful/healthy/loving relationships with well adjusted individuals. He has failed on all levels due to a personality disorder. So then he resorts to paying young & trusting women in hopes they will put up with the abuse. YES IT'S ABUSE. My advice comes from 2 years experience being on the site and 2 successful arrangements (not found on the site). I found my mentor in the real world and he was a GOOD man, not the fakes, abusers, and scammers on SA. He offered help because he truly cared about the person inside, not because he was looking to use me up and run away. My advice to you... weed out the fakers by agreeing to meet for a nego amount... do not meet for nothing... you will totally be used up emotionally & will be a waste of time. Not to mention these creeps usually want to get laid on a first date for a couple hundred measly $$. Second, DO NOT give these men your real name, phone number, or place where you live/work. These men have been known to start smear campaigns and then stalk you later on. Also these men will google you and get all your personal info and use it against you later (a NPD tactic). Thirdly, don't nego an arrangement on the first date... usually they have NO intention of giving you a allowance and never will. Think about it ladies, if he can get sex for 200-300 why is he going to agree to give you 4k a month? He's just selling you a pipedream to keep you around. Yes, these arrangements do exist but in my research 90% of men on SA are predators looking to manipulate and take advantage of good human beings. Ladies, be smart and don't fall for the lies. Protect yourself. Also even after what you think was a great first date... the games will soon begin.

Horrible site. Men pay 100 a month to get SCAMMED from men posing as women! Stay AWAY SCAM. And the women that are in there are prostitutes
