The last step is to write your profile. It is recommended to make it as eye-catching as possible, and to have your motives and goals clear.

Seeking-Arrangement014

 

Once you have completed these steps, you will have to wait until your account is approved, which will take approximately 24-48 hours or even longer. This is to ensure user safety and to reduce the number of bots/scams.

 

In order to make the website a more user friendly and safe space, there are different methods of verifying the legitimacy of a user’s account. For example, background checks or social media networks.
 
Seeking-Arrangement017

 

Once you are done with the verification process and finally ready to meet someone new, there is the option to filter based on your personal preferences.

As most of the users are frequent travellers, most of the locations are based on their current location. There is the option to search out of your current location for free.

The general layout of a profile is as shown, with more details after you click into their profile.

Profile Types

Seeking-Arrangement022

 

When almost completing your profile, users are able to browse through the selection of profiles available by clicking the Search button. Featured profiles will be displayed at the top.

 

Seeking-Arrangement024

 

There are many types of profile on this site, and one of those are businessmen/people who are trying to find a non-serious relationship, also known as No Strings Attached (NSA).

 

Seeking-Arrangement026

 

There are also frequently users who are trying to find companionship during their business trips or legitimate long-term relationships. Some relationships may be short and direct, others will require intellectual stimulation.

 

One thing that they do have in common is the need for a companion.

 

Seeking-Arrangement030

 

This is a perfect sample model of what a user profile should be like. On the left users can check if the profile is background verified and types of verification that they have.

 

Seeking-Arrangement028

 

Below are basic information about the user and types of relationship that they are seeking for.

 

Seeking-Arrangement034

 

Seeking-Arrangement032

 

This is a type of profile that is relatively common on Seeking Arrangement. That is a user trying to find a NSA relationship or seeking companionship when travelling abroad.

Benefits and allowances differ from people as some may be more inclined to pay for vacations or education experiences in comparison to new handbags. Though it is banned to mention sex in exchange for money or seeking sexual needs on profile/in chat as it is against the rules and regulations.

 

Seeking-Arrangement037

 

In comparison to the first profile who was looking to find a short-fling, this user has his mind set on being in a long-term relationship.

 

Seeking-Arrangement038

 

There is a selective few users who have stated directly that they are looking for a long-term relationship or that are marriage minded. Some who do not want a No-Strings Attached relationship may want to start off platonically before developing into a romantic relationship.  

To further display the variety on Seeking Arrangement, I will be showing two different types of profiles here.

 

Seeking-Arrangement040

 

The first profile is of a user who is picky with his taste in woman, but is willing to buy materialistic goods or is accepting of the allowance system.

 

Seeking-Arrangement042

 

The second profile shown here is the type who is not inclined to give allowances and is more appealed by making friends and having emotional connections.

The variety and number of profiles on Seeking Arrangement allows sugar babies to find their perfect match, be it finding companionship or receiving allowances and materialistic goods.

In general, it is recommended to have a goal in mind when being on this website and to initiate in intellectual conversations, or simply to utilize your beauty.

Seeking Arrangement Review

Pros

Seeking-Arrangement047

 

Seeking-Arrangement049

 

Seeking-Arrangement051

 

One of the things that users love the most about the app is the internationality of it and that there are large number of users on the site. On the bright side, there are more profiles and people to meet with from all around the globe. On the down side, like any other dating sites, there are bound to be scammers. Therefore, there is the need for precaution.

Overall success rate on the app is quite high as people on the site already have what they want in mind. For example, be it a long term relationship or with no strings attached. It helps for easier communication and mutual understanding.  

 

Cons

Ultimately, one of the biggest gripes that users have is the cost of the premium membership is said to be expensive. The cost for premium membership is higher in comparison to other dating apps, and prices differs according to status.

Next, another issue is the duration and time taken for accounts to be verified. Sugar Baby accounts need to be verified in order to message someone. The Seeking app’s customer support has mentioned that the standard amount of time taken is around 24-48 hours, but due to the large amount of profiles, users have reported that it takes around a week or two.

Many users have reported on online forums that their accounts were suspended for no reason and proof.

Besides that, another point that should be mentioned is that Seeking Arrangement is not available on iTunes Store. Which may come to be a hassle for Apple users.

How to Sign Out Seeking Arrangement

Seeking-Arrangement060

 

The sign out process is extremely easy, by clicking on the upper right corner and to toggle a log out button.

Users can also choose to deactivate/delete their account. By deleting your account, premium membership will not be refunded.
