But am puzzled by that as well, maybe its because being a SB is a more social/emotional bond, kinda like a Civvie GF with the pay element.  Too much baggage or too invasive into the gal's private life/time.  Being an escort can be more cut and dried and separate from their own private lives perhaps.  I honestly don't know.

There are a LOT of women on the SA site, all of them there for reasons of their own.

if you really appreciate them "all" you should be giving them an envelope.

I just might try it someday.  It has been interesting reading for sure.

...as escorts, prostitutes, or sex workers. Mentally and emotionally they refuse to cross that line and prefer to maintain the fiction that they are regular women, not sex workers. Even though they want to accept money from men and want to have a sexual relationship with them, they will be offended if you talk to them or treat them as if they are escorts. It's a bit unrealistic, but if that's what it takes I'm very happy to oblige their fantasy in order to date them.

With a pro you just dont contact them anymore. With  SB it can be drama time when you want to end it. And some SB are really broke so you xan get hit up for car repairs, rent help etc, et

I try to keep 4-5 SB on "rotation" at any one time, but I realize that I am constantly having to find new ones to replace the ones I lose simply to attrition. I have had a couple attempt to start drama with me, I simply did EXACTLY what you do with hookers. I just stopped contacting them anymore. It takes two to have drama, if you "refuse to play" there won't ever be any drama unless she wants to fight with herself. lol

is the lack of established protocols for screening. There's no TER White List, no P411, no reviews, etc. There's no way for you or her to find out ahead of time if you are a safe player or not or if either of you is LE or a scammer.  So be real careful out there!

...overwhelmingly real. Some are scammers and some are plain nuts, but most are truly real girls who want an Arrangement.  It's a very rich pool of talent.  It does require you to find an approach that works for you.  Generally, it costs less than dating escorts.  As with escorts, you choose your comfort level financially.  I dated a pair of hot black chicks from SA in LA last year who were happy to accept a gift of $500 for the session. It was fun screwing them both!  Then just today I had another pair of girls in LA who said they wanted $8000 for the session.  I passed.

I was aware of the site for years before I checked into it, thinking it was a scam like Ashley Madison. However, the women on SA are for real.  

Thanks Z for your previous comment and recommendation about my arrangement with my only SB.    I quietly discussed with her about making my monthly payment to a weekly payment and pay her instead of her landlord for rent.     It is working and I am under no obligation, need not worry about if she has any BFs and can walk out any time.

but so far the very most I have paid out of a couple of dozen SB's ranging from 18 to 38 (the thirty eight year old was Asian and looked 25) has been $500 for an overnight date. I have date scheduled tonight with a brand new girl, 24 years old and she asked for "between $250-300" and promised we'd have breakfast together in the morning. I was "generous" enough to tell her that "Three hundred would be just fine" lol

I had an SB tell me she did the research and getting cash from your boyfriend is not illegal.

The part about intent is very important.  It's why I don't answer provider ads that mention anything sexual, or even known hobby terms like "GFE", "French", "Greek", etc.  Unless I already know the provider, be it from my younger, less careful days, or from having met her at a M&G. I also make sure she has a profile on at least one verification site: RS-AVS, P411, or D-C.  LE always wants to catch their victims with evidence, and when when all the ad mentions is "1 hour" and "escort", there really isn't any evidence to speak of.
