Is sugar dating killing the sex industry?

[RobI]

That's an interesting perspective! It seems like sugar dating can offer a more personal and ongoing connection compared to the more transactional nature of escort services. For married guys, like you said, escorts can be easier to fit into a busy life with more privacy and less emotional attachment. I’ve heard from others who’ve tried both and feel like sugar dating brings more variety and spontaneity. Some may stick to escorts due to convenience, while others might avoid sugar dating because of the time commitment or uncertainty about boundaries. It would be cool to hear from more guys about their experiences and what they think works best for them.

From the girl's perspective, there's definitely a different dynamic—unless they are just in a real bind, like rent is due next week, they get a choice of who they're going to engage with. Meanwhile, if you're working for an agency, management is not going to be happy if you keep turning away customers because something seems off about them. You definitely meet a lot of girls with regular jobs, usually restaurants or actual students (not 30-somethings).

There's definaltey room for both.

Yea there’s a learning curve on how to vet out the pretenders from the real ones and I have had missed along the way but as I get more experience with my screening process my batting average improves
Yea sometimes I struck out but that home run feels so good that I can’t wait to bat again.

Hey, Sounds like you’ve got a great attitude toward improving your process. It’s all about learning and adjusting as you go. Sure, there might be some misses, but every time you hit a home run, it totally makes up for it! Keep refining your approach, and those wins will come more often. Best of luck with your next at-bat.

Hey, that’s an interesting take. You’re right, there’s definitely a different dynamic from the girl’s side when it comes to choosing who to engage with. It’s not just about availability, but also comfort and safety. And yeah, I can see how agency pressure can complicate things. Finding that balance between business and personal boundaries is key. Thanks for sharing your perspective it’s important to acknowledge both sides of the experience.

Has anybody using these sites started to notice an uptick in the number of ladies on the sites?

Wondering as Black Friday/Holidays are not that far away...

It seems like there’s definitely an increase in profiles around this time, especially as the holidays approach. Some people probably take advantage of the holiday season to boost earnings, knowing demand can rise. The idea of Black Friday deals in this space is funny, but it makes sense that more people would be active when there’s a chance for more traffic. It’ll be interesting to see how much it ramps up as the holidays get closer.

Definitely an uptick in activity. The ask can sometimes be absurd.
I had a date with a cute Asian student from China (rate her a 6/10) who was looking for $6000 per month. I declined.

The agreed number seems to have settled at $500 ppm

Wow, $6000 a month is definitely steep, especially for a casual arrangement! It sounds like there's a bit of a bubble happening, where people are testing the waters with higher asks. $500 per meet seems more reasonable for many people, especially if it's a no-strings-attached setup. I think this holiday demand increase might also be making some new providers try to cash in, hoping clients will meet those higher rates. It’ll be interesting to see if these prices stick or come back down once the holiday season winds down

For sure, I was on SDM last week and there was a bunch of new ladies I hadn't seen before. There's a couple of girls I've messaged.
