Approach with caution.  They usually want a high allowance or are wanting to be completely taken care of.  

There may be a tiny number of legit SBs who think that's a clever thing to highlight, but 99% of the time I see that, it's an automatic pass. Overwhelmingly likely you're headed to pig butcher heaven. Or hell.

The INVESTOR tag needs to be considered with the overall context of the rest of the profile. But either way, INVESTOR will be a red or yellow flag.  

 
An SB who says SHE is an "INVESTOR" is total bullshit. If she has cash to invest, she's not looking for an old guy to fuck on Sugar sites.   As others have speculated, these are likely part of the foundation of the (now) classic Pig Butcher Scam, where "she" wants to appear as a financially independent women who's just looking for her true love (Princess Bride-style).  

 
But an SB may be LOOKING for an SD who will INVEST in her (budding and probably doomed to fail) business. What business, you ask? Far too many SB's think they have what it takes to build a successful business like a nail salon, fashion design house, Hip Hop producer, or culture influencer. And they usually think that if they could just find a SD who will drop that initial $100k in seed money, they are destined to be millionaires in the next 18 months.  Of course, that success is highly (and I mean HIGHLY) unlikely to happen. And if you happen to find an SB with an actual legit business plan, she's not likely to offer you and equity position in that business - mostly because she has no fucking idea what an "equity position" is.  These SB's, who are looking for an SD to invest, are not necessarily scammers. But they may be a bit delusional thinking we are here to find early access to her brilliant start-up opportunity.  

 
So for all you wanna-be Shark Tank Guests, this ain't the hill you want to die on...

Seeking should have a strong interest in making the platform relatively unattractive to scammers. Yet, for reasons ably stated above, the Investor tag would not seem to be an honest tag for the vast majority of real SBs.  

 
Therefore, if real and honest SBs have no use for the tag, that leaves only the scammers who have a use for the tag, right?  

 
The more scammers who find Seeking a handy way to scam, the more SDs quit the site and stop paying the platform.

 
I just don't get Seeking's logic of offering the Investor tag. Does Seeking know something we don't about its own users? Or does Seeking somehow benefit from attracting scammers? Or are we wrong that the Investor tag is a yellow or red flag for scams?
