Hey everyone,

I’ve read about some girls having success on Seeking Arrangements (SA), meeting guys and earning decent money. I’m considering trying it out to save up some cash over the summer so I can start college in the fall with a bit more financial stability.

I just graduated high school and I've been struggling to find a regular job. Most places won’t hire me due to my lack of experience, and the few that would are mainly manual labor or factory jobs. I'm uncomfortable with the idea of working in a factory because I know people who get stuck in those jobs despite the good pay and benefits. I fear that if I start, I might never get out, which would derail my plans to attend a local college and pursue the career I'm passionate about.

I’m considering Seeking Arrangements (SA) because I don’t think I’d be comfortable running ads online. Even though I can be anonymous, I still worry about someone recognizing me since I live in a very small city. Although the chances are slim because I did online school my entire high school career, there’s still a concern that someone might see my face and know me from when I used to go to school with them.

I think I’d be more comfortable on SA because it’s significantly older men. I don’t have a problem conversing with older men; I’ve had online arrangements where they’ve taken care of me just through sending messages and photos. It was more like I was their internet girlfriend. I was paid every week, usually a small rate though, $150-$200. I know I could do better though. I believe I could have the same kind of connection with men on SA, and in real life, I am shy but don’t have trouble socializing.

I’m very confident online and have a following using a fake name and I have guys flocking to me and I did for a little time sell content (earlier this year), but my insecurities got in the way and I couldn’t bring myself to go anywhere with it. Not just image issues but I was also going through a bout of depression about school and was in a place where I felt discouraged about everything in my life, and who I wanted to be.

For the moment I don’t feel comfortable doing content, just because I don’t want to put so much stress on my image.

How does SA work, and do you think it's a viable option for someone in my situation? I'd be welcome to hear your thoughts and any experiences you might have had. Is there any other positions I should consider as well in the whole sw sphere?

Thanks!
