Not in my view. But that's just me. A guy could have any number of reasons why he would agree to a non-BCD arrangement. And as we say here: his money, his time, and his dick.
For me, I make it clear that I expect BCD in an arrangement during the M&G (or before). It doesn't have to start on the first date if she needs to meet a few times (3 max) to "get comfortable" with me. But there will be no allowance until we start a "formal" arrangement.
Once we are in an ongoing arrangement, I have certainly had dates with an SB where we didn't go BCD for some reason. That's unusual, but it happens.
Having said all that, there is an entirely different discussion to be had over what POT SD's offering $1k+ PPM for a non-BCD arrangement does to the market forces controlling offered and asked-for allowances. If POT SB's are seeing these offers frequently, they will no-doubt increase their expectations for allowance on BCD arrangements. This will eventually lead to disappointment on their part. But not until they pass on any number of viable POT SD's.
My latest addition to my A-List (another Asian, 32 years, petite, very submissive and nearby) initially passed on my high (for me) offer. Her previous SD was giving her $2k per meet (I had to ask her to confirm that) and she was only just starting to realize how difficult it would be to find an SD who would match that. Of course, I was polite and wished her luck in finding what she wanted. And I told her my offer would remain open if she changed her mind. Three weeks later she contacted me to say she hadn't found anyone else that she liked or trusted and wanted to accept my offer. Our 1st BCD was last week, and it was epic! (Side note: I am forced to think back about 4 years ago when we were discussing the dearth of Asian SB's, especially in Los Angeles. While this year alone, I've had 4 Asian SB's, at least for a while, including my Porn Star SB. Life really is good!). Back to my story: This arrangement was never presented or contemplated as a non-BCD deal, but it is illustrative of the process a POT SB who is new (or newly returned) to the Sugar Bowl may go through to fine-tune her realistic allowance expectations.
Sadly, the more men turn to a sugar site to get what is already available from a bar, church, holiday party, strip club, or even a pro escort (i.e.: platonic dates), the more they will skew the market expectations for BCD arrangements.

It's called being a "pay-pig". Basically, the guy is a simp that gives the little hooker-pretending-to-not-be-a-hooker money for her wonderful personality. She takes that and still makes money from other guys that actually fuck her. She probably tells the pay-pig he's the one and only.
Pretty pathetic of course, but there's plenty of that going on in here.
