I created a profile on MT and added a trip to Australia for 35 days (16 day cruise and the rest private wine tasting tours) that I have scheduled in October of this year. I offer to pay all travel expenses.
I have received numerous views, "winks", messages, and requests to accompany me on the trip. Perhaps 3 to 4 dozen over a 4 month period.
BUT:
1. Most are from non-US countries in east Europe, Asia, Africa, etc.
2. Many were from women in their 40's & 50's. Only onw or two from a 19-27 yr old hottie in the US or Canada.
3. Several had the "stink" of scammer on them.
In order to read & reply to the actual messages, you need to pay for premium membership. I have done this three times using the "free trial period then recurring $19/month charge" option. Each time I got an error in the payment process, didn't get charged and was able to use my trial period - which expired a few days later.
In the meantime, I have my #1 SB lined up to go with me and I'm working on taking my #2 as well (can you say threesome on the high seas?). Why take one 20-ish SB when you can take a 19 year old SB along as well for 50% more $$?
Summary - Don't bother. It's probably all the worst part of trying to use SA in targeted travel destinations, and none of advantages of having a welcome pussy waiting for you when you get to Baltimore, Tampa, Austin, Seattle, Chicago, etc.
