In my experience you can get an attractive girl for about $300 for a few hours..sometimes even less if they text you asking if you are available or they need a bill paid immediately..If you are married than it may cost more because you have to pay for a Hotel because none of the woman will host..Hardest thing to find is the sexual chemistry or one that will come back because many times they feel guilty about sex for $.

Now SA has changed their format to become a regular dating site so only about 20% on there will do sex for $. Need to check out Secret benefits.

I joined Seeking back in 2015. I had had successful arrangements with about six women/girls. One was only 18 at the time and now she is a top provider in DC. I usually paid anywhere from 300-500 for at least 3 or 4 hours, sometimes even overnights and weekend trips. They were pretty skilled in bed actually. There were also more personal connections than with escorts since we spent several hours together each time. Unfortunately, they either moved out of this area or disappeared after COVID started.

Things started to go downhill in 2018. Girls started asking for more money and they wanted $ just to meet for a drink. I stopped completely in 2020 due to COVID. I rejoined Seeking in March last year. That site is now full of scammers, picture/video sellers, and the asking rate starts at 600. Now, I think I will just stick with K-girls for a while, still the best bang for your buck.

My experience has been very close to yours JoeJoe.  I've been on and off seeking since 2019 and unfortunately didn't stumble across the unicorn you found.  It was damn sure my dream!  

I've gone back and forth between the $250 a month super premium membership (I think it's called Diamond?) the regular upgraded membership and the lower membership.  The upgrades pretty much only result in more weird messages from Venezuela.  

I connected with a few women but the time/energy investment outweighs any money that might be saved.  At least for me.  

My experience is basically this:  Wade through the messages, contact a bunch, some write back (most don't).  Figure out what's a bot and who's real. Try to decode their price-for-time equation. Message on the site for a while. Send them a gift through the site so you can break through the clutter. Switch to texting. Try to synch schedules.  Meet for coffee.  Meet for drinks.  Finally meet for fun.  It's a lot.  

If I were single and had the disposable time (young people worry about disposable income, but at some point income isn't the limiter, time is) it might be an interesting pastime.  

But as a grown-up, I just can't invest all of that time and energy.  It makes much more sense (for me at least) to invest a little more money up front, read some reviews, get verified, and have a few hours of fun. My 2 cents.  

You are on point.  I had only ONE so called "good" Sugaring situation and even that one ended poorly.  Went from a "Unicorn" situation to standard pay-to-play, now move on situation.  However, in my case her sugar request became only a good deal when we spent extended time together 2 days to a week.  Other than that, it was on par with escorts.  Hine site being 20/20 I think she had escort experience and was finessing me.  
Full disclosure, in this situation I caught feelings and learned, never, ever,  ever.  Ever, Ever catch feelings.  By the "relationship" being transactional it will never transition well into real life or even fake real.life.  And, it's been my experience that any women that prioritizes the transaction over all else will never cross that line.

With that said, yes, the sex on the prostitute side is generally better 3.5 out of 5 times.  She is clear what the clients expectations are......good sex.

Sugars are typically in it primarily for the money.  I've been in many sugar situations and the sex is passable at best.  Other than my Unicorn sugar situation, most sugar situations endvrelatively quick due to the un-inspiering sex.  The sex I had with the one Unicorn Sugar was insanely good!
