Here's a question for you. How many foreign women are favoriting you on SA? I've found the percentage from foreign countries has gone up dramatically in the past year or two, especially girls from Venezuela. I just checked my current first page of 25 who favorited me, all in the past 4 days. All 25 were unsolicited, ie, I never messaged them or favorited them previously. Of the 25, 8 were from Venezuela! That's 32%, an amazingly high percentage imo. 4 more were from other foreign countries, one each from Australia, Philippines, Chile, and Ukraine. That's 48% foreigners.
From what I've heard, conditions in Venezuela are just terrible. I guess it's no surprise that some women are looking for any possible way to get out. However, I have 2 good friends who are immigrants, one is actually from Venezuela, and they say it's currently basically impossible for a foreigner to immigrate legally to the US. Women who think a US man can get them into the country are delusional.
As for the 13 (52%) who are actually (claiming to be) from the US, all 13 were from other states spread out across the country. Not a single one from my state, let alone from my city or within 100 miles! Our esteemed Herbtcat says he never DMs a SB first, but always waits for them to favorite him or write to him first. I guess that approach works in LA with so many women. But here in the suburbs of pussy Siberia I usually pounce as soon as I see one that catches my fancy, and if I did not, I'd still just be wanking to porn!
I realize 25 is not a huge sample, but it's very representative of what I generally see on SA these days. How does it compare to your experience? It just proves there's no single strategy for success in the Sugar Bowl, you just have to figure out what works for you and the locale you're mining.
