[USA] professionals vs semi-pros (seeking arrangement)
For those punters in the US, just wondering if any of you have experienced punting with both professionals and non-pros or semi-pros, primarily found in seekingarrangement.com
I've listed a few differences, and they are just my personal observations. These two categories are just "different" and some may prefer one over the other, while the reverse is true for some. Just sharing information, and curious to hear other experienced punters chime in. Some contributions are borrowed from jake.houston's comments from another one of my posts.
1) Price per punt: There may be some real value in seekingarrangement newbies, but I seem to come across many who are trying to overcharge, maybe go to the $600-$1000 range. Especially saw this in NYC, where everything is inflated, but starting to creep up in different cities. The good thing about the pros is that the price is already set and predetermined. The negative is that pros tend to stay for just the allotted time (either 30 or 60 min, or whatever) and are usually clock-watching. Semi-pros tend to not pay too much attention to the time, and it's common to have drinks/dinner/lunch etc beforehand, just to get to know each other better. It's more GFE, in the sense that it's almost like a date.
2) Pros don't care if you are married, in fact, sometimes they prefer it that way, so you won't be clingy or too needy of their time. A few of the seekingarrangement profiles specifically say "NO MARRIED GUYS" The reason is maybe some self-consciousness, or sometimes they are afraid of a crazy wife coming after them.
3) BYOC - need to bring your own condom for semi-pros, usually. I suspect some bareback is going on, since some of these semi-pros don't know the business that well, and are a bit naive. But I always insist on a cover.
4) There's quite a bit more pre-meeting work when punting on seekingarrangement. Emails back and forth, sending pics of yourself, getting some rejections. Some girls take a few days to even respond, and some won't respond at all. I've gotten some who will ask for a picture, and then go silent... I'm OK with that, no biggie.
5) The few girls I talk to all say that seekingarrangement is HUGE in the college campuses. LOTS of girls know about it, and they love meeting up with rich old guys, LOL. The sugar-baby scene is apparently quite popular, and they will introduce it to each other.
6) There are apparently some sugardaddies out there that are looking just for friendship, companionship (non-sexual), someone young and pretty to dine with, strictly platonic set-ups. This surprises me, but apparently it's out there.
7) I've done too much punting throughout these past few years, and I've become desensitized to the pros who see multiple clients a day, who are mechanical, and go through the same routine with every punter they see. In my early years, this was OK and I could still have an enjoyable time. But these days, the thought of being in line with 10-15 other punters seeing the same girl... kinda grosses me out. That's why the seekingarrangement peaks my interest. So far so good, almost all of these ladies have been super-horny! One way to tell, they get extremely wet down there upon some nominal stimulation, DATY, FIV, etc. NO LUBE NEEDED!
8) With pros, they have a "business" so they have incentive to be on time, show up when they say they will, and generally try to give good service. Otherwise, they might suffer from negative reviews, which will in turn hurt their business. With semi-pros/seekingarrangement ladies, there's no such mechanism for checks and balance. So if they flake out and don't show up, there's not much recourse for the punter.
Some pluses and minuses for both categories. I'd be interested in hearing other's thoughts and experiences.
