Last week I joined a few sites not really knowing what to expect. I had been on a few sugardaddy personals sites a few years ago, and though it seems to still be all the same sites and they havnt changed much, one thing I did notice is now women have to pay to read/receive emails whereas before that wasnt the case and they were free to us. Minority rules I suppose! I set up my profiles and waited a week to see if I got any emails and also to take some time to research which ones would be worth a paid membership with.
From reading through blogs, it seems there are ladies who have had some success with WealthyMen.com and EstablishedMen.com.... but in the past week, Ive had 2 profile views on WM, 7 on EM, and no emails. Not too inspiring. SeekingArrangment.com wasnt much better.. 14 views and no emails, but I keep hearing rave reviews from the Sb's that I decided to just take the plunge and see how it goes at least for a month. I also joined up with SugarDaddyForMe.com and SugarDaddie.com, both of which I received quite a few emails to follow up on.
By the way, I loaded up and used a prepaid card for my memberships, I used GreenDot. I read too many complaints about SD4ME in particular continuing to charge membership for months after someone requested their account be canceled. Im not taking any chances with the money I do have!
Since I didnt get any emails on SA I set to sending some out. I only sent them out to guys who were local, didnt have requirements I dont fit into, didnt say they were looking for a travel partner (since I cant travel right now), didnt focus on sexual or mention play for play, have logged in the last 6 months, and were premium so that I know they paid and can reply. If they werent premium, Id just put them in my favorites/hotlist to let em know Im interested in case they end up joining. No sense in writing out tons of emails that wont get read! That left me with a whole 5 people to write to on SA. Im going to have to search again, cause dang...I live in South Florida....theres no way its that sparse down here! SA seems to be the staple of so many Sb's I kinda feel like Im missing something here!
On SD4Me I replied to 8 of the emails I got....the 9th one was from a male sugarbaby in Wisconsin or something? Strange....deleted. On SD I replied to the 4 emails I got and have already heard back from 3 of them. Oh Lord! Now part of my reply was always asking them what they are looking to provide and want out of a relationship like this, and I also let them know what it is Im looking for.
DoctorZivago - Replied by telling me "I will provide housing with me, utilities and groceries." I let him know Im not looking for a move in arrangement, to which he says he never asked me to move in. O_o
CoolJazz - He kept avoiding my questions and pushing for pics, to meet, for my measurements...rediculous. I wrote him off as daft and tell him I dont know why he wont answer my questions but sure he has his reasons, and then I wished him well in his search. His reply to that was precious..."Because I am the dominant ONE! I ask the questions!!! Not you!!! You are now DISMISSED!!" Not only do I think he's daft, but I now I also get the feeling he lives in his mothers basement and sleeps in star trek pajama pants....Aye!
The other guy replied by asking for my number to talk.... I asked him again to let me know what hes looking for and willing to provide and no response as of yet. Not holding my breath though...doesnt even make sense to think Im going to give up contact info right away without knowing a single thing about him. Meh.
Im feeling dubious and dont plan to make online personals my only source. Im sure there are legit guys on there and going to give it a good shot for the next month during my memberships. I think this is a really good time too since school is now going back into session, theyre all coming back from whatever summer trips, extended family time and such. I do want to go out...see and be seen so to speak, and be able to meet guys in person.
The online convenience of being able to say right upfront what you want wont be able to happen in person, but then again, I did meet a potential SD here that could maybe become more interesting if I can manage to get over my shyness in asking for anything. One day I was pumping gas when he drove up to me and asked my name, and literally the next day we were on his yacht sipping champagne....Ill call him Jovial cause this guy really is like a tiny bundle of happy energy. Ill tell you about him in another blog...
Im full force ahead right now though, thats for sure!
get google voice for a phone #. its a # that connects to your real number and allows you to block people, etc. so if u ever do happen to give your # to a guy who turns out to be a psycho/stalker/etc you can easily delete him from conatcting you x3
ReplyDeleteOh yeah I heart Google Voice! Ive had it a few years now ever since it was Grand Central, and thats the # I always give to guys. The block feature has saved my sanity many a time!
ReplyDeleteBut of course, a guy shouldnt just ignore anything in an email and tell me he wants my number...blah that! I dont think Im missing out on much by not talking to him lol!
