The easier it is for me to disengage and take things less personally. You will (need to) develop a thick skin to be successful on SA. Like KL and IVV said, some of these chicks are BSC from the get-go so don't take it personally if they block you or are rude or whatever. Often they're doing you a favor and you just don't know it yet lol. It's a numbers game and that's why people here will say don't focus on one SB and to just keep things open with multiple SBs. You never know who's going to respond positively or negatively to your approach so you have to just let things roll off your back when things don't go your way or you don't get a response from someone you like, etc...
At least when you have a fake profile you can look and know for certain that she blocked you and then you have closure and you can move on. Sure it may sting a bit but you just have to keep it moving... on to the next one I always say. SBs will say that attraction is key... but I would bet that it factors in a lot less than many of them will let on. Most of the times I think it's more of a question of timing and money and the attraction is secondary. When you think of it that way, I find it's easier to depersonalize and not read into things too much or personalize situations or feelings of rejection or "hurt" that may not be connected. Hope that makes sense lol.I took some inspiration from another poster here (who shall remain unnamed, but you will figure it out) and created an alternate profile on WYP for a SD. It's an unpaid account and I made the following changes from my profile details:
1. A little bit shorter
2. A little bit slimmer
3. Higher education degree
4. Different religion (Christian)
5. Lower income ($100-$150k)
6. Different occupation (Accountant vs something like "FinTech Exec" on my primary)
For dating types I only listed:
Sugar Daddy/Sugar Baby
Casual Dating
No Strings Attached
For profile text:
- About me:
Just an average guy looking for an above average date.
- My Ideal First Date:
Dinner, wine and candlelight.
No pics posted - Location in Los Angeles
I've had the profile alive since around Mid-January '17.
Here are some observations about my experience:
1. Location seems to be restricted to more generic areas for unpaid accounts. I tried to list my location in a certain area of the San Fernando Valley but the system would not let me use or even see it listed. Instead it resolved to Los Angeles. Similarly, when I try to search profiles based on my "actual" area I can only see them listed as "Los Angeles". I need to use some deductive process to find profiles near me by sorting by distance and then looking for profiles that are the right numbers of miles from me. I assume if I paid for some credits, this would revert to expected behavior.
2. LOTS of contacts. In the 1st 30 days of creating the profile, I had over 20 winks and offers. Mostly from profiles within a 30 mile radius. I have a total of 42 now (note that 7 of them have been rejected due to profiles that are now inactive, and 2 who withdrew due to no response). I have never responded to any of these. In fact, I cannot decline, counter or make an offer due to (what I assume) is my unpaid status. Note that I have not sent any winks, offers or tagged any favorites - because as an unpaid user, I don't have those functions available.
- More on contacts: The date offers range from $100 to $200 with one outlier at $500 from a profile I have seen many times on my other account. I have also seen many profiles wink or offer at the same time (or close) to a wink or offer on my active profile. So I can conclude that the POT's here are generally casting a wide net when initiating contact by connecting with multiple guys at one time
- More on demographics: Ages range from 20 to 43, with most (about 85%) in mid-to-late 20's.
- Connections: I have had dates with 3 of them through my active profile; one was a no-show-no-call, one resulted in a single BCD date then I bailed, and the third resulted in a 4th SB added to my rotation (26, skinny Asian in nursing school). I have never divulged to them my fake profile.
3. Useful as a double check: I have found that when I get a view, favorite, wink or offer on my "real" profile I can look up the profile 1st on my "fake" profile. I can also look up profiles on the fake side to let me look without the POT knowing it was me. (Since I can't find the SA equivalent setting for "Hide me when I view a profile.") Also useful for looking up profiles for SB's that I can no longer find on my real account. Helps me understand if they are still active, inactive or have blocked me.
Summary:
I am astounded with the volume of "hits" I get, especially with the minimal text in my profile, no pics and relatively low financials stated. Probably a function of the Los Angeles/College-rich market as much as a POT's lack of understanding that a 100k-ish annual salary does not really equal $3k to $5k+ in monthly disposable cash - unless the SD is still living in his parents garage.
Double check: I also have a fake SD profile set up on SA (less favorable physical attributes but higher financial stats) that I use to search for POT SBs. Like you said, I use this profile to see if someone has blocked me or I can use it to go back and look at an SB's profile without them know it was my real profile. OR I can use it to see how often they are on SA (if they are always logged in, etc...). Sounds stalker-ish but it's not lmao. Just a good way to anonymously check on SBs to see what they're up too. It's a good tool to have in the toolbox. Info is power. 💥
I too have a fake profile on SA. It's a modification of my old profile. It contains no verbiage or photos. I get a surprising number of messages and favorites. It's the account I use to do various forms of research, including trying to determine if someone blocked me or really dropped off SA.
Since I've never tried WYP I'm not well versed in how it works. But I gather people there offer certain amount$ for a date. You said most of your respondents offered to date you for $100 to $200. Does that offer imply BCD activity or do they simply expect to receive that much so you can watch them eat dinner?
