Revised stats. Encouraging
After looking through this in more detail. I actually found that about 21 of those profiles I contacted have not logged in to SA in a while and hence, have not read my message.
So it was a miss on my part in not looking at their activity before contacting. This changes things a bit. The funnel is now:
33 contacted - 18 replied - 12 conversed - 7 potentials - 4 scheduled for FC.
These are good for first round. I think as one becomes better at "qualifying" prospects, one can get the hit rate higher. However, spamming a lot of girls can also net more with the rate coming down. "Teach a man to fish. ".

I contacted / was contacted by 55 girls. About 18 of them led to more contact. Of those. Perhaps 12 led to substantial communications. Of those 4-5 broke down over financial or intimacy expectations. After a few tries, I upped my offer from $100 to $150-200. Of the rest - 3 are ready to go with defined pricing (100,150,200), 1 is scheduled for a M&G (200), 2 are MILFs who contatced me and 1 is pretty ready to go. I have put her off for now.

[QUOTE=HollywoodGuy;2597865]Once you have a few regulars at $$ or whatever, then you can start to get a little firmer on the price, because you won't give a shit. And trust me they can catch that "walk away" vibe real fast. Good work dude. Keep posting and post pics. Or pm me a link to who ever you fuck. I am just curious and will not take any cuts in line.[/QUOTE]
Some observations from a new bowl entrant
Targets:
18-22 - students.
Pros. Low sugar expectations, uninhibited sexually, willing to learn, eager to please, good bodies. In shape, often very impressed with a guy who at 40 is "not old" but successful and worldly.
Cons. Flaky, busy, hot / cold, less in common with me, cannot host, often not mobile, sometimes unrealistic expectations.
22-28 - educated, low-paying entry level office jobs or arts / architecture / entertainment type careers that pay little at that level, grad students.
Pros. Some have low sugar expectations, sexually experimental, appreciate attention, educated and intellectually stimulating, good bodies and in-shape.
Cons. Many are pros / UTR / escorts so need to wade through, many have high expectations and are looking for high rollers, some have issues (emotional, alcohol etc.).
30+ MILFs.
I have had very limited luck with this demographic but the sample size is low, they are really looking for that high roller and will likely keep looking, they also have high logistical issues with kids etc. So can be tough to actually meet.
SOPs:
Profile: need a decent profile, enough details to attract attention.
Pictures- need good pictures, need to privately exchange to build trust and make sure it is not a turnoff, I find this hard because I don't have a lot of selfies, and in the cold light of day many pics are not great if that is the first impression, have had to really look hard at my collection and find something non-traceable.
Contacts. Need a good text game, going back and forth, exchanging enough info, getting to M&G, etc. , I find you need to seal the deal relatively soon or it peters out, so a 3-4 week cycle. Week 1 - make initial contacts, late week 1/ early week 2 - build it up and make contact, week 3 - seal the deal,. No more than a week between building a strong connection through initial communication and meeting in person.
Hotels. I feel very uncomfortable in Motels, while they are cheap and relatively anonymous I prefer my standard hotels. I use points but parking and other charges add up. Girls get very impressed by the concierge level and lounge benefits.
Staying in character. After 6 months I am comfortable with my nickname and backstory. It is close enough to the truth but slightly blurry. I tell them I live in the city I work and am vague about where I work. Professional details close enough not exact. I have moved around quite a bit so it sounds exotic. Living in europe, asia, etc.
Time commitment: I invested some time initially, I intend to develop a girl I can see every week and 2 I can see every other week. I will have to periodically invest time to build the portfolio as girls drop out. If this cannot be done, I cannot sustain time commitment required. I have a CAMP and a AMP which are reliable but I don't like seeing new girls every few weeks and I hate motel 6.
Overall, this thread has been a goldmine of information and I am cautiously optimistic this approach will lead to long-term sustainable arrangements. However, there is a lot of flaking and time wasting.
Let us all preserve appearances.
They are not hookers, we are not johns.
Yet spare us still the Western joke.
When joss-sticks turn to scented smoke.
The little sins of little folk.
That worship at Kamakura—.
