I seek out college students only.
1. text followed by facetime/tango is required before proceeding. they should be willing to prove they are for real during the video call. Mostly some boobs and dirty talk will do the trick. If not willing, move on to the next one.
2. The first face to face needs to be a body rub/massage session (Generally $60 to $100). This is my test session, I am willing to lose this money to find out the right one for sugar baby. I have been very lucky that by leveraging video calls and bodu rub massage session to find 7 sugar babies in the past year. I have had 4 poor experiences. So had a total of 11 SA meetings and 7 ended up as sugar babies (all between 19 and 22 year old college coeds). Money wasted is about $300 for the year - so not too shabby.
3. The biggest time wasters are the ones that act smart during the video call, the ones that want to be sugar babes have no problem taking their tops off and do dirty talk (always do an age check before getting dirty). If they act all high and mighty during the video call - move on. For the smartpants out here, my first line to them is not to take the top off, they actually do it on their own when given enough hints. I actually like to know what they are studying, and a bit about them. Its only when the conversation moves towards spring breaks, their first time, and if they wear something below their tops it actually comes off.
Will add more when I get the time...
Key points:
1. SA works
2. Focus on college students
3. Video call/Facetime is mandatory for basic verification
4. Start with a simple low cost massage/body rub option. Send them a nuru style video if they say they don't know how to give a massage

...
5. If the massage ends up being great, negotiate next steps and arrangements.
6. My arrangements have ranged from $600 to $1200 a month for 3 - 5 sessions a month
