By which I mean what fraction of the serious conversations end up BCD? There's a judgement call here in what is a "serious" conversation. For me, I think:

Maybe 10% of casual chatting (not just, "hey how are you") lead to BCD.

I lose more than I'd like at the coffee meets. I think about 20-30% of those lead to BCD.

And let's not let this be a virtual "dick size" thread: Honest answers please!

I've been on SA since November, so a little less than three months.

I'd say I meet about 8% of people that I have conversations with.  So far I've had arrangements to meet with nine pot SB's.  Of the nine, seven ended up behind closed doors.  All seven have requested return engagements.   One of the nine was NCNS.  The other one just wasn't interested apparently.  Two of the seven I did have sessions with were direct to BCD, no pre-meet.  The other five were all met somewhere first and BCD followed on a different date.

I'm not a good looking guy, so my success after meeting has more to do probably with me paying closer to escort prices ... for just slightly longer meet times.  Hourly it is less than a typical escort, but not by much.

From reading several of your reviews and your fabulous experiences with top rated escorts it seems only natural to assume that you are probably screening POT SB's for High Quality Pussy ? If you have decided to join the Suagr Bowl in search of " Bargain Pussy " be forewarned that it's an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT BALLGAME !
Chasing SB's takes LOTS of patience and finding the true gems is indeed very rare on SA especially for an older (71) monger like me...some other 60+ y/o mongers here live in a special demographic locale which presents them with exceptional opportunities to find Hott young and very willing 20y/o college girls and little struggle in arranging dates with them...but that is not the norm espoused by the wider community of mongers that I have talked with.
From my experience, there is NO RHYME or REASON to understand when a particular SB you have made contact with will cum thru for you to even meet the first time or then go BCD.
As a wise old Gambler once said " Sometimes you just got to pay your money and take your chances " 😋

Successful SD/SB relations are all successful in the same way, and unsuccessful relations are each unsuccessful in their own way.

 
True in so much of the important things in life.

 
I'd be interested in knowing, for the unsuccessful results, how often is it that the gal rejects the guy, versus the guy rejects the gal?   (Or for that matter, when the rejection is mutual.)

I have 3 currently in rotation, down from 4.  I have convos with SBs 100 plus miles away that are serious but I can rarely get there.  So I think I’m hitting at. 300 avg.   when I started I hit a homer on the first try, rookie first at bat went BCD.

in that almost all of my M&G's go to BCD on the same date.  In three active months on SA:  8/9. The one that didn't was my choice (slim was average+)
.
Don't really track how many dozens of messaging opportunities I've have, but like inthepink, I must have literally spent 100s of hours of mostly wasted time.
.
I have a huge base of SB (something like 12K+) to draw from and use filters to cull to around 3% so my numbers wouldn't compare to a guy from a small town. Accordingly, I only pick slim tall blondes - so there's never any issue with desirability from my side, and so far I guess my wallet has been big enough from their side.

END OF MESSAGE

However only one in the last three years didn't end BCD.  Maybe because we never discussed an arrangement due to the M&G was all about our lives, which we had a very similar background.  She blocked me the next day and said we weren't a fit, which was strange to me.

The only predictable element about SA is that it is so unpredictable.   Hot and very smart babes (I am in DC, the ultimate mecca for smart women) that have chased after me and older woman that have been dismissive.  SB's that have called me 30 minutes before a M&G to confirm and then never showed up (and also never blocked me) and SB's who I thought wouldn't show up who suddenly appeared.  SB's that got lost when the M&G was 3 blocks from the Capitol Bldg in DC (GPS couldn't find the Capitol!) and SB's who had things carefully planned out (actually, the whole SB experience proves to me that there is absolutely no way to discern the intentions of most women and those who think that sales techniques apply to the sugar world are full of shit).  Therefore, a generic BA is somewhat of a meaningless statistic especially when folks preferences may be widely divergent.  That being said, if you aren't hitting at least 400 after a M&G, something is wrong , most likely you are mispriced for your market.

My market is fairly small, and I further reduce my chances by filtering searches for 18 to 32y.o. slim, average, athletic.  so I often wind up in conversations with young inexperienced  girls, some in college, some not.  But quite often once they realize what is actually involved in an arrangement they bail.  Otoh, it's totally unpredictable.  Some of them are like, wow, you're gonna fuck my brains out AND give me $200?  Sign me up!

I'm in a *huge* SoCal market, l have many filters in place (18-26, slim/athletic, white, within 25 miles, etc.) to knock the 10,000+ options down to around 2000.

YES, the search is a huge time-waster, but on a weekend morning (when many babies are laying in bed perusing the site) l can generate maybe 20 new conversations and get 4-5 responses that same morning, and another 4-5 within 48 hours.
The prompt responses generally lead to texting within a day, M&G within a couple days, usually with what we used to call 'heavy petting', and BCD on the first or second date.
I was at 200-250 ppm for some time, sometimes wasn't getting second or third dates from SBs
where everything else seemed to go well....Upped my offer 30-100% (sorry, boardmeisters) and now retain them in rotation no problem, but please know l am *extremely* picky (TER 8.5+only)

All SB 'dates' are 4-5 hours minimum, usually overnights, so 3-5 sessions can be expected during
our evening, which takes some of the sting out of the ppm, worst case 100.- per fuck.

Never found the escort scene particularly fulfilling, the Bowl is Paradise, for me.

a real Garden of Eden, eh, Glascock?  

 May the serpent slither and wriggle!

Sorry to read of the loss of your #1 SB, periscope.....Though it sounds as though you are sincerely back in the saddle

First time posting for me. I joined SA back in August and took it for a 30 day spin. Got so many responses that I actually turned it off and hid like a pussy. Being married, I was overwhelmed. Anyway, flash-forward... I pulled up my big boy pants and went for it again in October. Since then, I've had numerous BCDs, sleep-overs, M&G straight to the sack, etc. I'd say my BA WAS about 75% with at least a dozen ladies. Since then, I've settled down with 3 in rotation with one that doesn't want a dime though I pony up anyway (makes me look like a God and I'm treated like one). Anyway, I've been thoroughly satisfied with the success! Waaaaaaay better than AM!!

I’ve spoken to hundreds and went bcd with dozens. I’ve repeated with only a handful of girls and only 3 or so I would consider regulars. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, percentage wise, but I do know that It mostly comes down to me being picky.  

Exactly how picky I am also depends on who else is in my rotation and how I’m using the site at that time. For most of last summer, I was spamming SA and trying to meet many girls a week, sometimes going bcd twice a day with two different girls. My record was 3 different BCDs out of one hotel stay. My average was okay, maybe 50% then, but it was to be expected. Some of these girls were so mediocre I had to fake orgasms so I could save my load for the next girl.  

And then I got a couple of true unicorns in the rotation and started blowing off an embarrassingly large number of 9s and 10s that I would have killed for only weeks ago. These are girls that had made it through a meet and greet and seemed eager to go bcd for my usual prices but I would just never get around to scheduling them because I’d rather bang my favorites or another girl I felt more in the mood for.  My average was probably in the single digits and really shitty.  

After a couple of months of being with my current favorite and having our sex get better and better as well as more frequent, I’ve gotten super selective on SA as she’s risen to the top and become my ATF by far. My average is now 100% since I’ve gone bcd with every girl I’ve had coffee with, but that’s only 3 girls over like, 3 months.  These were all seemingly unicorn material, but ultimately couldn’t hold a candle to my favorite.  

So I don’t see how percentages and batting averages matter. As my average has gone from okay, to shit, to 100%, I’ve experienced different mixes of variety and quality of sex.  Who’s to say what’s better?  

I just know I’m enjoying whatever it is I’m doing, whether it’s trying to bang 3 different sugar babies with one night in a hotel room, or seeing the girl that rocks my world for a weekend at a time and forgetting that other women exist.  

For what it’s worth, I can only think of one failure where I really wanted bcd and it didn’t happen because I fucked up and she went bsc halfway through the date.

Beautifully said. Well done.

But when I get to an in-person meet, I do very well.  I’ve had several request too much money and, even if they compromised, be beyond my budget.  I had to politely tell them I couldn’t go that high. I’ve also met some I wasn’t interested in.  Of those I met and agreed to price, only a few slipped through the cracks.  When we meet, have mutual interest, and agree on price, I’d say that I convert 80-90%.  Some ghost for unknown reasons, but the vast majority go BCD immediately, the next day, or a week later.

All you guys seem to doing pretty damn good with this SA stuff. I may be premature here but I can`t get squat going. I signed up for one month a week ago for girls in the CNJ, SNJ and Philly areas. I`m getting lots of hits, likes, favorited and messages from 19- 28 yo`s. Ok, fine with that. I message them back with some semi intelligent banter and some "Lets meet for a drink, I`ll come to you and I`m buying" replies, then they ghost. I have a sharp guy profile with real nice GQ photos which they must have liked to hit on me in the first place. Are they all mostly flakes or am I doin something wrong?

I do real well in the hobby and might just stick to that if things don`t improve soon. Any suggestions guys?

It's mostly a game of numbers.
Couple days ago I got 29 messages, today 5 - so definitely feast or famine - lol.
One of the wiser guys here suggested ending any message with a question that the babe will want to answer.
Getting them off the site and onto texting asap is also another good technique.
Lastly, don't message girls the first couple of weeks after they have joined - jump on them (figuratively and literally) after all the flakes/fakes have had their shot.

Your experience is somewhat consistent to mine.  However, your line about let's meet for drinks and I'll pay sounds too much like a "dating" offer rather than a nod to an "arrangement".  So, I would just say" " I am really interested in meeting you to discuss, explore, etc. an arrangement".  That being said, the folks on here who think they  have it all figured out and truly understand how SB's click are the same folks who think they are geniuses for sticking it out in the stock market since 2009.  IMHO, there is a no rhyme or reason to woman and particularly SB's.  Just go with the flow, don't treat it as a dating service and you will be fine, especially if you are presentable and willing to spend some cash.

It's hard to say what you're doing wrong, if anything.  There are sometimes just dry spells, so if you've only been on for a week, you could just be in the middle of one.  Lots of girls also don't really check back until they need cash, so it might be once a month or every couple of weeks.  

I usually message with very simple messages.  Usually just "Let's get coffee.", "Fine me on Snapchat." or "Text me." and I seem to get many good responses, but my profile is very thorough and funny.  Many of the women I've disqualified in the profile will message me with "Haha, I love your profile, I wish I fit your criteria."  

Lol, wouldn`t you know it but not long after I posted my cell began to blow up with SA hits, messages, likes, favored etc. All kind of babes from 19 to 50. Crazy, and many with sugar eyes. Thinking I`ll be fine here and will respond to a few and get my "semi pro" sea legs under me.
Thanks guys for your helpful insights.

It's not an accident that some of us do better with SB's than others.

 
That said, I do agree that saying "I'll pay" where it comes to drinks is a horrible way to ask to meet. It implies that simply paying for drinks is all you have to offer, and it just screams CHEAP.  

 
Every woman/POT SB is different, but there are some general do's and don'ts that everyone should use as a guideline. Coming across as a cheapskate is most definitely one of the don'ts.

Agreed. It’s pretty much assumed that if you’re asking her to drinks, you’re paying, so saying “I’ll pay” likely has her thinking “Thank you, Captain Obvious..” which is not a good thing...
