Disclaimer: this is information from a past life. I haven't used the site in quite some time, I'm not about that life anymore, etc.
I don't know anything about escorts nor do I have interest in that. However, sugar baby relationships once interested me. If you're gonna pursue that, some pieces of advice...
1. Most of the dudes on SA are trash. From the low ballers to the guys who have extreme fetishes, there's a heavy pool of scum. Being normal, respectful, and doing what you say you're going to do will automatically put you above the field. Even if you're offering less money.
2. Comfort is currency. This ties into the first point. You want to provide a relaxing, SAFE, comfortable experience for whoever you meet. If it's a hotel meet, get a nice one. Doesn't have to be some super expensive one, but like...a three star Marriott. If you're going for the Courtyard hotels, pick the one with the additional living room so you can chill there before heading to the bedroom. Or if you want to cook something for her, go for the Residence Inn ones which have a studio-style kitchen.
Netflix, food, snacks, gifts (if you're into that). You can do a lot, without spending a lot of money, to stand out. You want to give her a reason to stay longer. Even overnight. The relationships I had were all overnight type deals where we'd meet around 4PM, eat and watch a movie, fuck, watch something, fuck again, eat dessert, etc.
Warning: if you stay overnight with a chick, make sure you ask the hotel to send your receipt via email. Many hotels will slip your receipt underneath your hotel door around 5AM. You probably don't want your sugar baby stumbling across that in the middle of the night, as it will include personal info.
3. These chicks are broke. If you're fucking with college aged chicks, or even like grad school chicks/young professionals, they're struggling out here. You don't have to spent a grand to get their attention. $300-500 can get you whatever you want. The pandemic has probably made them even more desperate.
4. Create valuable relationships. It shouldn't just be about fucking thots. Find someone you actually like talking to. It makes things more natural, you'll have more fun, and it'll be more fulfilling.
5. Warning: don't fall for scams. There are chicks on there looking for easy marks. Guys who they can guilt into buying them shit. The first chick I ever saw got me to help finance a medical procedure for her. Then she ghosted me shortly afterwards. You're not an ATM. She doesn't love you. Don't fall for it.
