Some thoughts for discussion after about one year of punting on seekingarrangment (SA). Not sure if it is OK to bump this old thread, but mods, please adjust accordingly.
1) Combing through profiles is time consuming, but it is worth the effort.
2) Keep on eye out periodically on the "New Listings" section in the particular city you are interested in. Also look under the "Recently Active" when searching, as these are the profiles of girls who are more likely to respond.
3) Many of these SA profiles have real-life pictures which can be traced to their social media pages via image searches.
4) A few girls with GPS (golden pussy syndrome) out there. They might look tempting, but these girls should be AVOIDED at all costs, they will drain your time and pocketbook!
5) Keep an eye out for poor college students, recent college graduates who have crummy jobs, waitresses, bar-tenders, girls who recently broke up, recently divorced, MILFy type who need some extra $. These are all excellent demographic segments which I target!
6) Do not give up on SA in Asia. I have had some good punts in Singapore, Tokyo, KL, and will be trying HK, Taipei, and others soon. There are not that many listings, but some are quite good, and you probably don't have much competition.
7) SA is HUGE in the US! Lots more eligible SB's than eligible SD's, so you are in the drivers seat. I heard the ratio is favorable for punters, maybe 5:1 or 10:1.
8) Lots of city to city variability in the US!
9) Search function is your friend, and you can easily weed out the GPS if you focus on the girls who are looking for a "practical", "minimal", or "negotiable" allowance.
10) Not surprisingly, if you are polite, respectful, treat girls well, wine and dine them a bit, there are SA girls who may not be too focused on the money. I've had one such SB, and currently have another one who already mentioned she is not interested in any allowance per-se. Obviously I lavish them with fancy dinners and drinks which are already quite costly, and will by her some gifts here and there. There are lots of different sorts of "arrangements", and that's part of the fun!
Party on guys!
