I'm happy to report my slump has ended. It's taken a lot of work, but the last few months has yielded some  [arguably] good results. Thought I'd share some of the hard numbers with my fellow brotherhood here. 3-6 months ago when several of my regulars became unreliable I needed to find replacements.  

I found the going much tougher finding decent prospects the second time around, with a very high proliferation of scammers, flakes and phonies. Thus began a 3 month slump during which I was unable to land much more than a handful of M&G's, none of which went to BCD. [various reasons, some were my choice, some were theirs to not proceed]  

Generally, the quality of the available POTS was down from a year ago, and getting to an M&G much more difficult. Around the end of Sept things began to pick up. Now, end of Oct, I have 4 new regulars in my rotation, [one 6.5  and the rest solid 7's to 7.5's] Since I continued to reach out to new POTS beyond the 150 count as of Oct 1, there was some overlap in results but for the sake of this experiment, I am using 30 days = 150 contacts and 4 finals as my final result. Here's how it breaks down:  

Sept 1st-30th [30 days] - I reached out to 150 POTS, sending out about 5 per day. These were curated, mostly 7's, some 8's and I threw in some questionable 9-'s-10's model-types. [assuming those were fake from the git-go, and they were].  

My criteria was pretty open, they had to be better-than average attractive and be within a 50 mile radius of my location. [GREATER LOS ANGELES] I avoided obvious fakes and stuck to 6's-7's and even some 8's. I contacted each with a nice opening introduction with something in their profile mentioned, and the ask that they respond if interested. I also made it clear I was looking for something mutually beneficial. [a little risky.]  

150 REACH OUTS SENT:  
90 - NO REPLY - [Some of these deactivated their accounts or were deleted, most are still active].
50 - REPLIED but either GHOSTED at some point in exchange or were outright scammers wanting $ up front or wanted much higher than average PPMS/Allowance.  
10 - REPLIED and ENGAGED enough to set up voice call/M&G but 5 of these flaked or cancelled
5 - MET FOR M&G, of these,  
4 - WENT TO BCD/BECAME REGULARS for regular XXX bi-weekly meets.  

They range in age from 28-50. [28, 30, 39, 50 to be exact.] 3 are exceptionally attractive and would turn heads in any restaurant and the 4th average-to-nice GND type, think 'Jennifer Aniston or Jennifer Lawrence-type pretty with nice bodies all.  

So there you have it. One month, 150 POTS contacted and 4 regulars scored for my efforts. I waited 30 days from my 150th contact to tally the scores.  

Overall, while I'm not happy with the number of POTS I had to reach out to given all the sifting and replying and follow ups as well as the dead ends [+ phone calls scheduled and flaked on], I am happy with having scored four very nice, attractive women who are good in the sack and are, at this writing, all seemingly happy with the arrangement and appear to be keepers for at least the immediate future. Of course the status of these SR's can change at any moment, given the unpredictable nature of the SB.    

I've not been able to contact an additional 150 for the next batch, in fact, have only reached out to an additional 50 in the past 30 days, as I've curated pretty much all of the available women I find attractive enough to pursue that meet my distance radius requirement. Of those 50, one has already resulted in a successful M&G and the other is scheduled for this week, so this would also skew the average if included in this experiment, which it isn't.    

The problem I have now is I have more SB's than I can actually handle between time and budget constraints, so I may have to either widen the time gap in the rotation or let some go. Some of these gals may return to the fold as floaters or occasional visits, as one of my earlier SB's from this past year has.    

My conclusion is, that as of now, for me, the juice is still worth the squeeze. I will say I have gotten a LOT of pussy through seeking in the past year, far more than I ever dreamed I could or would. I've also enhanced the lives of quite a few ladies with financial and emotional support and made their world just that much happier/easier. It is indeed a win/win for all involved. I am grateful for this community and I am also grateful to have found this lifestyle in my senior years, something I never dreamed would be possible.  

SIDE NOTE: My score ratio would have been better had I been less discriminating on quality, as I feel I would have easily landed many more POTS who were average 5's-6's, but I decided to focus on as high a quality of POT as I could reasonably find attractive enough to sustain my interest as keepers.    

I appreciate all of you, your stories, tips, trials and tribulations.  

A special thank you to Herb, who has been a phenomenal friend, mentor and a wealth of great advice.  

Life is Good indeed!  

Keep on sugaring my fellow friends

First, huge thanks for the shout out, and kudos for taking the extra effort to track all this data. If you are addicted to eclectic analysis, as I am, then I expect you had a bit of fun doing this along the way. But that does not diminish the effort or the results. Bravo.  

 
I can't say that the trends and funnel-flow of POTs to contact, to M&G to BCD surprises me. It does seem to objectively align with my subjective and empirical experiences.  

 
I suggest that all of us may be getting similar results. But they may be more difficult to see/validate as I expect most SD's are not starting from net zero/rebuild mode and instead are adding or replacing one or two SB's every few months.  

 
Still the final decision we all must make is the same: Is the juice worth the squeeze? After 12 years of sugaring, I find myself today with 2 A-List SBs that rotate alternate weeks, 1 (maybe soon to be 2) porn star SB that I see about once a month, and 4 B-List back up SB's that are essentially on 24-48 hour stand by. Add to that one pro escort that makes a point of letting me be first to schedule when she travels to LA, several local BBFS UTR massage locations, and two strip clubs where I can get FS inhouse or take out, and I must agree that...  

 
Life is good

Congrats on your success!
This shows the potential out there and the need for a lot of work to find your SBs. I believe the numbers/averages are about right, with a 1-3 percent success ratio.
BTW my slump has ended as well, in a different way (more on that later).
I do think the LA area has a larger pool and other factors which make it better hunting grounds, based on what I hear. In the DC area, I'm reaching out to 20-25 POTs per month and getting a few nibbles every now and then. One of the biggest issues is price. It feels like the best SBs are asking for 700-1K  ppm, while I've been in the 400-500 range. I understand inflation and might bump up to 600 for the right SB, but higher than that makes it tough.

Good analysis, and sobering. In my area, a Middle America metro area of 1.7 million, there are not 50 "active" profiles of POT SBs at any given time. In fact, there are only about 140 who have been active within the past week. That's using loose search criteria with an age range of 21-40, all ethnicities, slim to average, but a hard no to smoking. Tough sledding out here in flyover country.

So glad to read about your success Adonis, congrats!  All of my regulars disappeared around this time last year, so I too was starting over, from scratch.  I envy you the sheer number of profiles you have available to look at.  Here in Siberia the pickings are reeeeal slim.  Nevertheless, I've had some success.  Although I haven't kept records of how many DMs I've sent out, it must be in the hundreds.  I spend at least an hour a day on SA, so I'm making efforts very similar to yours.  My results are as follows:

I have 1 number 1.  She's a regular.  We get together every other Friday, and have been doing so for 6 months.  She's a slim 23yo, def a 9, and open to absolutely anything I want to try.  One of my best SBs ever.

Number 2 is a returnee.  We dated for a while just as the pandemic was about to hit.  Then stopped.  She resurfaced this year and we've hooked up maybe 5 or 6 times so far.  She's my floater, i.e., no set schedule.  We get together whenever one of us asks for a date, which is more like once a month or so.  She's great in bed, about a 7 in looks.

And number 3 is my traveling sweetie.  I've posted about her here before.  She's a lovely 25yo who passes through town occasionally. In the 7-8 range.  She just texted me today asking if I'd be available Nov 9th.  I love planning in advance!

I'd like to find one more local, reliable SB to add to my regular rotation.  But overall, I'm so glad to have the ones I've got.  I think considering my location, as well as my age, I have to consider myself very fortunate indeed!

Nice going! What is pricing for your new batch of Sugar?
