As I haven't figured out how to edit a post, I'm reposting. I'm successful and in my age group a unicorn. No kids, no wife, executive director for IT. I enjoy giving & being supportive. I like the ease of Amazon for gifting and do not desire anyone's banking info. But, this year on SA has been a nightmare. Between the scammers, digital, and platonic only groups, now the safety of Covid plague... It is impossible. In the past I've assisted with home purchases, cars, trips, even living together (not my fav). What changed ? In 2007 I had my first arrangement & it lasted years & was everything wanted.
Are arrangements changed that much ?
I get it and yes, I have invested in a match maker here in Kansas
The major reason I chose an arrangement is my time is coveted. I'm informed not to provide numbers on allowance here , do not. But I provide in a better than average way (ie .. put in 6 months, I'll buy you a car, ect) I put the down payment on my last SB as we had 3 years together
I joined Reddit today & I'm looking over what's available. Thanks for the suggestion. Bumble led to my first blackmail attempt.. so I dumped it. Tinder contacts 3 of my first contacts were all prostitutes with specific charges - all payable in advance via venmo "for their safety". Complete joke
I guess do. I just politely decline & block.
I started development in a software product & just finished. I'm about to start up again. Example : Scammer SB contacts me, we chat, she repeatedly asks for dick pics which I ignore one week in I get a black mail message all my contacts on Zoom will get a copy of our messages. Sadly, I know better & better yet, don't use Zoom. Blocked - never happened in 14 years
The amount of utter time wasters is just unreasonable
Your phrase "a little time" is the key Yes, I do inv st time in.messsging 3-4x a followed by a call then a M&G. What happens is endless messaging, pleas or demands for $$$ before meets. Bring ghosted on the M&G, or even better, & this is my favorite.. I'm to bring full allowamce to s platonic M&G to "prove" I'm real...
I don't know, I flew to San Diego & spent the week on Coronado with my partner - planning a new software company / product I'll keep you posted
Now you sound like me. I just can't or won't spend hours and hours on SA. I have things to do, a sailboat, and places to go. If I'm trapped on a flight or bored, sure. But, the filtering process is insane. I've had more requests for $$$_ before meeting & I can't fathom who does this.
I appreciate, I started looking at the beginning of Covid & quit in July. Before jumping back into search mode - I'm seeking viewpoints

Why on earth would I lower my expectations ? I refuse to in work, my own company, and personal self improvement. I desire a partner, but function daily quite well.
