I had a very unpleasnt month dealing with riff raffs on Seeking, so I thought I would look into Secret Benefits and get away from catfishing, saless of videos, scam artists, and noncommittal addleheads. Also, many of the pictures on Seeking were glossy and sexually provocative and seemed to be more professional, and different from the casual girl on the street that  a SB is supposed to bbe.

I got zilch from SB. After I signed up, I immediately got a lot of messages from hotties. SB requires you to pay to reply to messages so I bought some credits to reply to the messages.  Surprise! After I replied, suddenly they all went radio silent. I concluded it was a scam and never went back. SB probably sent those messages.

I can't say there are not bots on SB.  There are scammers everywhere.  But I've met many off SB.  So there are real ones.  I also get two or three unsolicited messages a day.   I seldom strike first.  That costs money.  I'll usually only reply to someone who has contacted me first.
.
I sign on every day.  That seems to keep my name in the recently used list.  So that's apparently what keeps me in view.  Also I do maintain a paid account.  But burn through contacts very slowly.  

When I see their verification video, why do they sound and look like some hostage video? And the video mostly aren’t close to the pictures they’ve posted ?
And one thing, most of those videos are turn offs for me…. “Let me be your secret “….  Something taken while they’re being tortured.
And I have has some very interesting conversations. And some good leads.
But most that message me are skanks…

I think a lot of the gals don’t realize the videos will be public. They’re not very transparent. Another thing to know is that the default option when girls sign up is to send a message to each person they view (not sure of the exact mechanics) and that’s why you get messages from the ones who aren’t interested

On Seeking, I get about one unsolicited message a month, on SB/SD I get 3-5 a day.  

Yeah, the videos are used by the system as proof of who they are, that's why they say the same phrase, it's a requirement.
.
But the vides really reveal what they look like.  All the other pictures can be filtered or after extensive makeup.  I assume the chicks don't realize the guys can see the verification vids.  Because a lot of chicks don't post a public pic for privacy reasons, but their videos are still available, so the privacy is violated.

The chicks are rarely 7+.  
.
I think a bot or scam site is going to feature unrealistically beautiful chicks.  Most of these chicks are average at best.  Sure there are a few above and beyond, but I am suspicious of those the most, likely GPS.

Yesterday morning I opened up the search page on Secret Benefits which shows like the most recent 40 or 50 SB's who've signed in.  Going down the list I recognized that I'd fucked three of them.  And there was a fourth one on a following page.
.
So yeah, proof that at least of percentage of them are real.

Another difference I noted between Seeking and Secret Benefits (I have an unpaid account on seeking and a paid account on SB) is that unsolicited "favorited" on Seeking are mostly from out of state.  Of the last 25 "favorited" I got on Seeking, 21 are not from my state.  But on Secret Benefits, the most recent 25 "favorited" are all from my state and 24 are from the immediate metro area.  

I've seen a few on SB that I've also tapped.   But maybe it is different for different areas.  I'm in the Boston area.

Yes, Minneapolis.  And I've also heard that different sites are popular in different regions.  So that could be true.

How have your interactions gone with the POT's from SB?  Are they mostly serious, or do you see a lot of scammers and time wasters?

To tell the truth, I haven't seen any obvious scammers. Mostly just chicks uninterested in my offer, which is fine.

Note that the experiences on SB you describe here are  in accord with what I am seeing in the Boston area.

So it seems SB is also a "ppl" (pay per letter) scam in general? I've noticed since I registered (not a real registration, just curious to explorer "SD/SB" sites recently) on SD, I got a bunch of those interest mail notifications even though I put nothing on my SD profile on registration.

So does that also mean some of the girls and ladies on SB are also providers? I'd noticed plenty of profiles on p411 also have the interest keyword "sugar baby" so being open to arrangement they could also be advertising on SB sites?

I'm sure there are pros on SB sites.  They do have to keep separate identities, because the sugar sites do not want to be associated with open sex for hire.  That puts them in legal jeopardy.  If they become aware of someone also being an escort, they usually ban them.
