As with anything else in life where variables are involved, in other words, good vs bad, this site is no exception. I have been on it for a year. Apparently, I had experienced "beginner's luck," as the first man I met within two weeks of signing up was actually what he porported to be; wealthy and truly interested in forging a SB/SD relationship. This involved no more than every other weekend to various locals involving wonderful resorts across the globe. Everything was first class; the transportation, accomodations, wining-dining, etc. He was an older man, not bad looking (Clint Eastwood type) didn't have any weird predelections, was a decent height- had hair, wasn't fat, had a pleasant personality, was intelligent and polite-all good. He alloted me generous sums of cash upon my arrival at the various locations in addition to the monthly stipend he wired to my account. (We're talking annually over 6 figures, btw.) Unfortunately, it did not last "annually," as his wife found out after seven months and put the "squeeze" on him. "Dissapation of marital assets replete with paper trail," is not for the faint of heart. Anyhow, I resumed my membership on SA and proceeded to meet a series of less than stunning individuals. All were frauds, fakes and pretenders. Some were the worst; obnoxious on every level pretending they really had something to offer when they were doing little more than creating the opportunity to have access to beautiful women which would never happen in real life beyond their computer access. Others, were interested in immediate cash "meet-ups"-the sort of exchange that can be otherwise derived from the yellow pages. Then there are those who must have had an abundance of time on their hands, who wish to feed/entertain their particular brand of narcissism. These are the ones who demand volumnous, endless email and photo exchanges-a sort of free supply of attention coming their way, that you eventually recognize is not going to result in any actual meeting, (much less SB/SD exchange.) But, the absolutely worst reprehensible ones are those (again) who waste your time in actually arranging a date. Within minutes of arriving, (Gals, be suspicious of "coffee dates"-not too impressive at the onset, you know?) it's abundantly clear, the guy is so gross he couldn't date his way out of a paper bag and so "not of means" he wouldn't pay a dime to witness Christ ride a bicycle! He certainlyisn't really going to shed cash on a woman and he, in so many words, will indicate this soon enough. While sipping your coffee, you will soon actually perceive his latent anger that he really cannot have you as nothing else has worked out in his life and he may become slightly obnoxious. Again, an example of this site creating another opportunity for "looky-loos" and posers to have their moment in the sun, being graced by a value beyond their reach. Therefore, I caution the women on SA to be judicious in utilizing such a forum and understand that just as with anything else in life where the strata of humanity is involved, there is a possibililty (admittedly, odds are not favorable) to find the "real deal" on SA.
Pros
Possible to find the real deal.
Cons
You can potentially meet;
-Men who do not really have means.
-Men who are not attractive on any level.
-Men who will waste your time.
Review: Miss Craig
This site, "Seeking Arrangement" is very lame, I can attest. I have been on it a year and have met more than a fair share of these above referenced jokers, none of whom could be regarded as remotely "Quality." Yes, there are mostly plenty of guys on there who want the endless streams of photos and are not even contemplating helping a woman out. Yes, I have encountered several guys who wanted to test the "chemistry" first and yes, I met the ass holes who offered $100 for immediate sex.
I joined this site thinking there would be a "William Randolph Hearst" looking for his "Marion Davies." If I want an ugly, souless creep, then he had better have the understanding that he will have to buy his way into the world of grace and beauty.
I had expected that the men on here understood that concept and would be willing to be a MAN and take care of a woman. This is where all the ugly guys go to meet very beautiful women. There is nothing wrong with this dynamic, except that in actuality, the men on Seeking Arrangement are not willing to compensate for their ugliness (on the inside a well as the outside) and are not seeking anything but what they can get for the least amount of effort. Hello, you idiots-----the women on SA would simply continue to date all the gorgeous hot narcissists, except those are the ones who are broke. A real insult to my intelligence is to consider dating an ugly guy who is as selfesh as a good looking one!
My last encounter with one of these idiots brought out yet another example of how this site does not have members who represent it's concept; I asked the guy why HE was on SA and he said because there, he gets to meet "beautiful women who are tired of meeting 'losers.' -Where a man actually has a job." Hello???? SA, I thought, wasn't a duplicate of it's mainstream cousin, "Match.com." I thought this was the site where you meet a man who wants to take care of a woman, in exchange for being with a women who is beautiful. This site has been a huge dissappointment and a waste of my time.
I have a friend who was introduced to a man last year who is mega wealthy. Her life changed overnight, from struggling with bills to living in a $10 million dollar home in Brentwood with a big sparkler on her finger. And to top it off-he's actually NICE! She met him the old fashioned way; introduced by her neighbor. So, gals, network amongst your friends-"SA is BS!"
