My last experience with SA was pretty negative or is it just me. I have a pretty hectic work and travel schedule so when my membership is active is when I usually have to travel away from home. Hopefully I can get that synced up some day. Anyway several of the women I was talking to all of a sudden their rent or car payments are past due and they need money visa “cash apps”.  Obvious scams but one needed money for a DUI arrest and even sent me her mugshot.  Also, some women want to met right away at their location and forgo the public place meeting and these I avoid or if they will not send a selfie.  I just wondered if anyone else noticed the spike in scammers and gather some thoughts. Greetings from Beirut, Lebanon by the way as I only sign on to TER when I am out of the country. BT W I did have a good experience with an SB from SA but she finished school and moved away.

and that's why I have always considered the Sugar World a numbers game. Without reviews to go by like we have in the Hooker World you kind of have to fend for yourself and make up a few inviolable rules for yourself. Rules like NEVER send money to a POT SB that you haven't already met in person. Yes you will run into your share of scammers, just hold fast to your own rules and don't allow the scammers to make a single red cent off of you.

 
One question your post raises for me and it extends to many of the posters on this board. Why do guys who are happy to see hookers refuse to see the pro's and "semi pros" that advertise on SA and who don't want to be bothered with the public M&G that is the norm in the Sugar World? I have seen many SB's where we skipped straight to the good stuff and didn't bother meeting at a restaurant and most of time it works out just fine. I know you run the risk of being catfished, but all you are risking is your time, if your 20 year old hottie turns out to be a 45 year old OTHFB there is nothing stopping you from simply turning around at the door and leaving. Why is this such a deal killer for so many of you?

 
BTW the last time I had a POT SB tell me to simply "come to my place" it worked out great. Her "ask" was for me to bring "$400 and a bottle of wine" my kind of girl. lol My only real question as $400 is on the upper end of what most SB's ask for in my area so I asked her "how long our date would last", she gave me a GREAT answer of "until you get tired of me" lol  To make a long story short, I showed up at about 6PM, we drank one bottle of wine, had some BCD fun, went out for dinner where we had two more bottles of wine and she actually tried to pick up the check, returned back to her place, had more fun (although our evening fun was cut a bit short because she had tried keeping up with me in the wine drinking department and she kind of passed out on me. lol) and I ended up leaving somewhere around noon the next day. One of the best nights I've had in a while.

 
So, to you guys who skip seeing the women who don't care about the public M&Gs, I don't think you know what you are missing out on.

 
One last thing, You don't need to actually be outside of the country to log onto TER, Just use a VPN that will make it "appear" that you are logging in from another country and you can still use TER from the US.

Regarding accessing TER, in addition to VPN, which I believe you have to pay for if you want decent service, the Tor browser works fine by itself to connect to TER and it doesn't cost anything.  Super easy to install and use.

And link to TOR. I am going to use try that when I get home.  There are a couple of former hookers on SA and they were hot in the day when they were indies and agecny girls, but Christ on a stick they have doubled in size since then and I would be hard pressed to fuck either one of them.

it started to get very buggy on one computer, and a few weeks later the other computer also stopped working on TOR.

 
I don't know if it is my computers or TOR, but I switched to a free version of Windscribe VPN and haven't had any problems with it.   These free versions only give you a limited about of bandwidth per month, but since I don't go on TER for very long these days, it work out just fine.

I've been using it since TER went dark in the US and I haven't had any problems, nor has it cost me a dime.

 
and I feel your pain where it comes to once hot hookers "beefing up" as the years pass. I had a 19 year old SB who I used to see at least a couple of times a week for virtual peanuts fall off my radar for a few months only to resurface 40 pounds heavier. I couldn't bring myself to turn her away when she showed up at my door because we had seen each other so many times and I genuinely liked her, but I just couldn't bring myself to ever see her again either.

 
I noticed nobody addressed my question about why you won't see POT SB's who don't demand a "public meeting" first? We don't meet hookers in public first, there is almost zero LE risk from seeing SB's, I just don't get why you pass on women who are "sure things"

Assuming we've had at least some sort of rapport when exchanging messages, I'm happy to meet in private without a coffee date first.  It's generally worked out great, although a few were a bit heavier than I would have thought. That's the worst outcome I've had, and that's not all that bad.  Mostly they've been hot and ready top play!

Yes, it is YOU, and after reading your bitter and vindictive post on the ATL board it is my sincere belief, for your own good and the good of the POT SB's in ATL, that you should NOT be looking for pussy in the Sugar World. You simply take things too personally and too seriously to be getting involved with Sugar Babies, one of which will undoubtedly break your heart yet again.  

 
Some guys just don't have the temperament or the emotional maturity to deal with a sugar baby that is mainly based on your need/want for pussy and her need/want for money. I can practically guarantee you that anyone with your bitterness, and stalkerish tendencies, things are NOT going to go well for you in the Sugar World. Do yourself and the POT SB's in ATL a favor and stick to hookers, and don't get involved in their personal lives. Some guys have the teflon coating that is often required to date a hooker, and you are NOT one of those guys.

You're so right about this, as usual.  I learned my lesson a few years ago when I got way too involved in an arrangement that I foolishly thought would last forever.  When she ghosted I was heartbroken and couldn't leave it alone.  Big lesson learned!  Now I enjoy being affectionate with my SBs and sharing lots more than just an hour by the clock with an escort.  But still, this is the sex work world we inhabit and ya just gotta keep that in mind.  I try to be honest and genuine and affectionate and helpful while I'm fucking these lovely young women.  But realistic.  At any time one of them could disappear and given time ALL of them will disappear.  Deal with it!

It's no different with marriage and divorce these days. Here today gone tomorrow (with your house.)

Going BCD without a meet and greet does pose the potential problem of meeting up with someone not as advertised.  A little bit heavier, for me, is not a bad things.  Sounds like you've lucked out in that area.  I agree that having some rapport first is good thing.

I likely would have avoided going BCD without a meet and greet because, with no evidence, it seemed sketchier.  I don't know.  Now,  I feel from your post and GaGambler's post it seems like a great way to go if the opportunity presents itself.  

I'm still on the sidelines, but more interested now more than ever to pull the trigger.  But, escorts.
