I am temporarily halting messaging any additional POTs. I now have 1 date booked in Manila, and 2 in Angeles City.  Plus I have 2 more POT's awaiting my arrival in country, and 4 others (through other apps) who have expressed interest.  If I got this type of engagement in LA, I'd be staying home. LOL

 
A few new observations:  

 
1. 22-23 years old is the sweet spot.  Although I am getting a lot (A LOT) of unsolicited messages from women over 40, 50 and 60 (Yikes), I just ignore them and don't include them in the stats I report here.  

 
2. If you like big-titty Amazon types, this is not the location for you. Heights of all POT are between 4'6" (not a typo) and 5'4".  

 
3. There is a consistent theme of immediacy in these POT's. They want to meet tonight or tomorrow, but most have been willing to book a week or so out once we agree on allowance and BCD terms.  

 
4. With POT's on Seeking, allowances are generally consistent with what I saw last year, and tend to be 10-20% higher than a local bar girl, but perhaps 2x higher than a non-bar girl (called freelancers).  Based on the discussions I've had with POT's, Seeking is viewed as a premium space, with higher quality POT's who are generally never bar girls (i.e.: They have day jobs).  

 
5. POT's from other apps are typically more like freelancers who may work the apps as well as the common freelancer locations (dance clubs, "walking street", etc.).  

 
6. I have adopted a flexible approach to scheduling dates - which is counter to my nature.  Going forward I will stop trying to lock down a specific date for each BCD. Instead I will frame discussions as "I'll contact you when I get to town and know my schedule."  There are 2 drivers for this change:  
- The nature of this space is "flexibility" in schedules. Girls are looking for the next best opportunity and may drop a date if a perceived better deal comes along. So, planning 7 to 10 days in advance risks losing your turn.  
- I am there primarily for traditional mongering; I want to bring bar girls and freelancers to my room for all-out fuck-fests. Filling up my 1st two weeks with sugar dates seems counter-productive.  Better to develop several POT's and then pull the trigger as slots open in my schedule in any 24 to 48-hour timeframe.  

 
Footnote: Had a Valentine's Dinner Date with my #1 SB (21 yr. old Viet Spinner) last night (2/13 - she has a college class on 2/14).  Well, it turns out I had not yet mentioned to her that I will be travelling for the next 30 days in the Philippines.  OOOPS!  I told her after I picked her up on the way back to my place for BCD (high-end dinner happened later that night).  She was very quiet and asked a few questions. I KNEW I had handled this poorly. She averages about $800 a month in allowance from me, plus I usually buy her certain supplies on Amazon (cat food, bottled water, etc.). That cash generally pays her rent.  She is not normally confrontational, or aggressive (outside the bedroom), and so she did not complain or even ask about losing allowance for a month.  Reading the situation, I told her I would still be sending her some allowance while I am on travel.  Now I doubt she would bail on me if I didn't offer that. But why sour the relationship for a few hundred dollars?  Did I do the right thing?  What do you think?

And you are happy with her, I will make sure she is taken care of while I am out of the country

You know best about this relationship, but if it is important to keep her this won't hurt and will likely pay dividends
