Earlier this year, just seemed like some really good possibilities never went beyond the initial interview.  All sorts of excuses given, mostly boiled down to "I just don't think I can do this" and then their profiles were gone.  These girls were not ready.  But then, for reasons I can't explain,  everything began working better than ever.  Lots of new hotties showing up on SA, lots of great interviews which led to BCD fun in short order, and several super awesome girls who asked to skip the coffee date and go BCD right from  the start.  But you''re right, keep the pipeline full and you'll always have at least one or two active without.

When I've been in a slump, I've learned the hard way to take a few days away from SA, then patiently come back and ping the POTs in the demographic where you've had the most fun and success.

Bad to alter tactics, lower standards, pay more, or send out a bunch of PMs that differ from what you normally send.

Patience gets me out of a slump better than anything  else I've tried.

I dont know why but I either seem to have more than my wallet can handle or its crickets. I do know that going back to pros seems less likely as those 1 hour dates seem so short now.

I've let my SA account expire for up to almost a year at a time. When I have a couple of regulars, I stick to them until something seems to be a little off. Then I go back on and start fresh. I'm fortunate there's no shortage of young, hot and cheap 1 hour dates in OC to keep me drained and keep my standards high.

I haven't been successful at keeping the pipeline full because it's easier just to strike while the iron is hot. I also don't get girl's falling over me until I've boned them really good, so I'm thinking to just jump on when I need and BCD like crazy. One cycle I got BCD with 19 in a month and another time, 9 in 5 days.
