[Obsessive]

Decided I would be willing to pay the monthly fee for 2 months. So far, in 40 days the results are:

- Ended up with 1 meet with nothing better than an escort I could have found from no-pay venues. Same basic rate. Was like pulling teeth. She had a hot body but fresh bolt-ons, too much botox and lip injections. Profile said she was 24, she claimed in person she was 27 but really she looked mid-30s trying to hold onto youth. Mechanical sex.

- Some exchanged numbers and communications, loosely formed plans, or disappearing acts. Early on they seem highly interested but either drop off within 3-4 chat exchanges on the site or after a few texts. I evaluated all my conversations and nothing seemed like a red flag to me: very little boring talk and mostly engaged banter.

- Of the roughly 150 I've messaged, only 20 engaged in conversation and about 8 or 10 displayed interest to keep communicating. Results so far described above. I am still trying to convert to results beyond that 1 experience.

- Don't bother with long initial messages. Based on the past 2 times I've had an active account and this last time so far, and against everything these women claim about what they're looking for, a short dumb message of less than 8 words will get more of them to read and react than anything else. Just read their profile to know which 3-8 words to message them with. It doesn't matter, though, these women can't carry any consistent communication because they're looking for mister perfect worse than any general dating site. Yet you see them almost always online still looking and looking and looking. Do you think they will ever meet anyone?

- More than 95% of them have princess syndrome worse than any typical dating site. They are looking for a guy who is perfect who will treat them like a princess and shower them with money and gifts, leave their life alone (so they can attempt to juggle multiple men). They have decided that since they are on the site they are top notch catches. It's like a twisted form of feminism.

- I only had 8 women contact me first. 4 were extremely unappealing. 2 were obvious hookers or hooker teams. 2 were genuinely decent options but their expectations were ridiculous.

- The majority of the ones I would consider, which would be the ones I contacted, seem to want at least $600 per meet, extrapolated either based on allowance or literal per-meet. This would be in addition to the expense of wining & dining them and gifts. The economy may be improving but this level of expectation means they all think they are supermodels who will land a multi-millionaire. I don't think they have any conception of reality that 99% of the site are just roughly around upper middle class range men. Top 10% but nowhere near top 2%.

- A fair portion of them act like they refuse to have sex for money. They are self-deluded or playing games.

- The site took away definitions of the lifestyles, very likely to avoid looking like a site that promotes prostitution. They even have mechanisms for reporting users who are on there clearly for prostitution (but seriously who would report anyone?) Because of that, the women are all over the map when it comes to their choice so many of them just choose "Open" which makes it extremely difficult to gauge. I decided the best thing to do is not even talk about money and just get towards meetups which as you can see from the results so far barely seems any better of a strategy.

- I have 2 right now that seem like making plans would work but one of them is behaving like a space cadet and the other is too far of a distance to do any more than per-meet which is fine but I can see easily fizzling. I think like many she will chicken out anyway.

- Most of the likes or favorites you will see (that aren't the ones you contact) will come from overweight black hookers (who can no longer advertise on BP, CL etc), much older women, or oddities that you see plenty of on normal dating sites.

My conclusion is that unless you have a vast amount of extra funds and don't mind burning stacks of money on women who think they are worth three or more times than reality, who expect you to be perfect, SA is worthless. I'll try to get better results on the remaining 20 days on the site, but it's not looking at all worthwhile.
