Tutti Bravo!
This post should be an MBA Case Study in Sugaring.
Living in LA as well, I can confirm that this market is HUGE. However, that's a counter-intuitive two-sided coin since travel within a 50-mile range can be exhausting and tedious, especially when your POT turns out to be a dud or worse. It's possible to drive over 2 hours in LA and never leave the county, especially for those like me who live in the North part (aka San Fernando Valley). I limit my POT pool by only looking within a 20-mile range (about 30-minute drive max), but in my experience, the farther I end up driving, the lower the chances for a good (BCD) outcome. Still, if you have the budget (time and cash), looking within 50 miles of DTLA (Downtown LA), can open up amazing opportunities.
Your frequent Test Game is spot on. If I may suggest, you can up it to the next level by getting prescriptions for PrEP and DoxyPep, which will greatly protect you and your SB's from HIV and other STD's. My rather large health-care provider doesn't charge for the medical exams or tests, and my co-pay for the meds is small.
I hate to acknowledge it, but the new sweet spot for allowance in LA seems to be about $400. I have only found one SB (25, AA, up and coming HipHop artist) this year who is happy with $300 (her original ask), and she's open for BB, multi-shots, role play and more. Actually, I'm not even sure she really needs my cash as she pays over $3k a month in rent, supports her younger sister, and travels frequently on her own dime and I'm only giving her $600-$700 a month... (sorry to digress!).
I won't beat a dead horse here about vetting (based on your previous disaster posts). I'll just add for those reading that vetting is a key part of avoiding scammers and time/cash wasters. Please search the forum for "Let's talk about flags" to see my "Ted-Talk" on the subject. (Use the link below for Part 1.)
BTW: Diamond level membership is a total bullshit waste of money. It's like booking Economy Plus on United Air. :p
Life is absolutely good!!
