I'm noticing a marked increase in fake profiles on SA in recent weeks/months. These are pretty easy to spot. The pics are often of models far more attractive than the average profiles I've met of women actively sugaring. The bogus ones are almost always profiles with a lot of pics in them, [10 photos average] showing the 'POT' in various exotic locations wearing a wide selection of various high end attire.  

 
These are typically locations such as high end hotels, glitzy glamour shots, travel locations in Europe, poses in front of designer jewelry/bag shops, all taken by pro photographers. You'll see 'her' in a variety of locations too varied to be true. She's on a yacht sipping champagne, on a beach in the French Riviera or walking through the lobby of a high end casino surrounded by gold and marble statuary.  

 
The actual profile descriptions vary greatly, but almost always aimed at 'classy gentlemen that want to invest in me' or some other high-end experience that are not reflective of the average girl who seeks a sugar man to date. It's all designed to find some rich whale to bag and hang out to dry. [Which ironically aren't likely to be on Seeking anyway]    

 
Some of these are  tagged 'ID checked' 'Background checked' etc, but most are not tagged as such. I've reached out to many of these, they either don't reply or they reply and ask for a phone # right away because 'I don't get on here much,' though many are on there every day. Generally the texts stop once you are offline and texting via cell phone, as soon as you get their one or two-word reply to confirm your number is real they ghost.  

 
I'm seeing less 'real' profiles, or at least profiles of reasonably or very attractive women that appear to be real that have believable photos, meaning usually selfie style photos taken by themselves.  

 
The rest are obviously pros looking for johns, some better disguised than others but their replies are often of the 'busy tonight?' variety.  

 
I'm finding no POTS that appear to be searching for a vanilla or serious dating relationship.  

 
I'm still assembling data for my year end analysis, but thus far my averages appear to be consistent with last year's, which was approx 1 successful BCD out of every 50 reach outs. [2 out of 100 batting average]. I will say the quality of SB for me has increased somewhat from a 6.5 to a 7.5 in looks, attitude and performance, but that may be because I've focused my efforts on better looking POTS.  

 
It's not getting any easier. This past week had three more POTS flake on dates same day as M&G.
