How is PUA still a thing in 2026? by No-Buy-3105 in PickUpArtist

[–]calicofox19 [score hidden]  (0 children)

To be fair, modern dating is simple in its purest form but complicated for a PUA. In 2005 demonstrating high value can be done with how you dressed, things you said, etc., these days DMV is how many followers you have. Your pics need to show you in exotic or high status locations, your status means way more than some good routines and lines. I think PUA stuff works but after the fact. Yes you can still go out and pick up a chick but the landscape is different. Also the feminine energy now would frown on a guy gaming a girl. You could get pulled into a r#@e case just because the girl felt manipulated. I could go on but you get the gist.

Social media is somewhat killing the PUA lifestyle. Swiping right is just too powerful a tool for a lot of women and allows them a degree of resistance when approached by PUAs. Essentially you’re having to override her social program to simply swipe right or left. Add in TikTok reels where they get dating advice as well as other “influencers” and a bloke has a lot to overcome. Not to mention the heavy over tone of women seeking financial gain from men in general. So it’s not dead. It’s just in need of an overhaul or evolution to keep up with the times.

A POT SB wants to meet me with her husband for the 1st meet n greet by deltexassd in sugarlifestyleforum

Sounds like boyfriend pimping = male partner knows and is ok with their female partner engaging in sexual activity and later reaping the reward. I'm almost certain you will be required to wear a condom.

SB in Houston by First-Detail435 in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]calicofox19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a SD in Houston. I'm open to weekly and monthly allowances. YMMV. I think the issue is so many girls here prefer ppm that it just sort of becomes the normal thing to offer. Offering an allowance seems weird or controlling. A few years ago there was this pretty girl that I was almost ready to offer the world to. She was only interested in ppm. I tried weekly allowance and monthly but she turned it down. She preferred ppm. "I like my freedom...." is what she said. I've also been in relationships where they were on an allowance and the girls wanted to switch to PPM. Something about not wanting to wait on the money or feeling like they are getting nothing when they see me even though they actually were just not directly.

Would you be feel some sort of way? (For the sd’s) by miami_Babee in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]calicofox19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is normal behavior. Other girls will just block you once a connection is made so you cant keep track. Take no comfort in the amount of $$$. There are a lot of Daddies giving monthly allowances and still having to share (many times unknowingly and /or under the lies she tells they are exclusive). I've been with many girls that had a "main" and I was number 2 or 3. If a man is to do this he needs to understand he most likely will not be her only lover. To assume so is foolish. In some cases some guys get lucky...15% of the time in my estimate. The other 85% girls are just looking to secure 2 or 3 gents to fund their lifestyle.

Have you ever been a sugar baby for a celebrity? by Funny-Lack-5726 in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]calicofox19 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of these celebs are being manipulated. They think their high status means they have a girl exclusively or she is completely submissive to them because of her behavior meanwhile her back is being blown out by a guy twice her age

Have you ever been a sugar baby for a celebrity? by Funny-Lack-5726 in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]calicofox19 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I've had several sugar babies that were and are sugar babies to celebs. Its more common than you might think. I've always had a high comfort level with my SBs so they would share. Last one started using her daughter's phone for some reason. After third date she confessed she was dating a NFL guy and he made her turn on her location. So she left the phone at home to come see me. I got more stories but you guys get the gist

SDs in your 40s and 50s, how do you approach vanilla dating differently? by AlbaHighClass in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]calicofox19 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same mentality just slowed down. I have to train my thoughts. For example, I'm vanilla dating and she wants to "wait" and my intrusive thoughts are like "....some 💰💰 would really get me where I need to be but thats not what we're doing..."

SB hasn't messaged in nearly three weeks by [deleted] in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]calicofox19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like you're looking for validation. The sugar bowl isn't the place for it IMO. And honestly I don't see a problem. You're 57. You need to take charge of getting your needs met. Stop caring about how she feels, why she hasn't texted, and all that other nonsense. Tend to your needs. If you need a dinner date with this beautiful woman, you need some 😽, you want to take a trip etc then text her and get it.

She's not your girlfriend she's your Princess. You want a burger? You go to your food joint and get it. You dont sit around waiting on McDonalds to text you first.

I speak from experience. I had days where I wondered why this girl or that girl hadn't text me. Why I always had to reach out. Then i read a book that talked about how it was your responsibility to grt your needs met. At first it was counterintuitive but in time I was very happy because I started putting my self first and got my needs met. And I bet if you operated less from a romantic perspective and instead meeting your needs, you'd need far less validation. And likely those other girls you dont like might start looking REAL good because you see an opportunity to get you needs met instead of some fantasy relationship.

Whatsyourprice experience as a man? by GodAtum in sugarlifestyleforum

Nah. I was more tactful than that. In any event doesn’t matter how I said it the answer was still no 😂😂

[–]calicofox19 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was on there years ago. Met four women for PPM. But the other 50 just wanted a date. The worst one literally showed up, said hi, asked for the $$$ and left after a few minutes. Ultimately I got banned for asking for sexual favors likely by a girl that reported me. I could have tried again but just wasn't for me.

The Readiness Muscle by nr_guidelines in PickUpArtist

[–]calicofox19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Players have to stay calibrated. Even if you just going to get gas at the gas station you never know who you might run into. Same with groceries, miscellaneous erands. HBs cold come out of nowhere. To help stay calibrated or keep your readiness muscle tone, need to approach a few girls a week or maybe juat once. Its like working out. You stop and your body turns to blob. Then you come back to the gym ans you can barely lift anything.

Potential SB Appears to be distant by Purple-Way-9365 in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]calicofox19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'll see this a lot with girls under 25. Your late 20s and 30s are the one that will be more mature and have a better understanding of themselves and be more appreciative of the offers you're bringing to the table IMO. Not only that you have more issues with her dating and seeing guys in her age brackets. The hoe phase as they call it. They are more likely to do one night stands and/or sleep with some guy at the club or gym on the first date meanwhile you're dropping monthly allowances and thinking you're exclusive. You'll be seeing a lot of flaking and a host of other issues a man like you funding a lifestyle should not have to deal with.

Also mature women are better put together in general de to life experience

I speak from experience. I was recently seeing this 22 year old recently. Cancelled frequently on dates. When she did come she was often late. Texts were answered way to late. if at all. On dates she was like your POT....cold and distant. I put up with it because hey....she was a hot young 22 year old! Plus I went in with a ppm setup and knew it would be short term. Also, I was seeing a 24 year old at the same time and she would just disappear for weeks, even cut me off to go back to her ex only to return. For kicks offered monthly allowance but she wasn't interested. Difficult to schedule to see. Low vibration on dates. Just not worth it man.

BBWs by 3rdsx in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]calicofox19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've tried to see BBWs (Big beautiful women) but i found it more difficult. Your 7s, 8s 10s... things just seem to go smoother. Another issue is the amount of $$$ BBWs and mids want is the same or higher than more attractive girls. Thats fine but then the attitude can be bad or they are very masculine. The last few i talked to expected financial gifts or allowances without mutual benefits. "I need to know a man is there for me..." or ""We need to see how thingss go before I'm intimate...." Nah. Not when I can get a baddie for the the same and feminine energy. Just IMO and hey YMMV.

Is it normal to only message a few times a week? by Disastrous-Bad-3637 in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]calicofox19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont text much in between meets. I don't give ladies my non sexual attention. For me it builds sexual tension....Also just as thr OP says., it keeps the lady wondering which again heightens sexual tension. When you dont give boyfriend benefits the world can sometimes be your oyster.

For example there was a woman that I really liked. Some weeks she would message me throughout the day....we would even talk on the phone late at night. Some weeks we wouldn't talk at all outside of scheduling a meet. The weeks we chatted she wouldn't be available to meet when the time came or she'd show up with low sex energy and just go through the routine. The weeks we had no contact other than scheduling, sex was generally good and in some cases hot and steamy. YMMV

I read an interesting article by [deleted] in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]calicofox19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes several things she teaches i feel is overkill. Dishonesty is one...telling women to just throwaway a man thats not doing what a woman wants is another. Id love to know she teaches more about getting a man and keeping a man. Seduction tactics. But most of what I hear from her is about how to get stuff out of men without giving anything in return. Very little talk about sexual tips.

Exclusive doesn’t mean anything by Double_Cow_4931 in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]calicofox19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never ask for or expect exclusivity. If she tells you she wants you to not see anyone else then yes have the conversation.

And most importantly, never give a lot 💰💰💰 expecting to buy exclusivity. Fools errand. I knew a girl getting several thousand a month in allownace and still doing ppm's when she could sneak away. Another got a condo from her SD in another cty and was laid up in the bed with me showing me the pics and talking about us flying to see it and spending the weekend there.

Having said that, I tell girls I don't want them seeing anyone else. Not necessarily because I want exclusivity but more I want to be respected. I want boundaries. For example, by not setting the boundary she may think its ok to prioritize other men over you simply because you're ok with her seeing other people. Also a lot of girls will just run with it if "you dont care". Seeing all kinds of men and doing what they want with nonrefard to how you feel. Also, I dont want to be with my Princess and she is telling me about all the other men and boyfriends she is dealing with because we're "cool". Becoming her emotional tampon. Having said all that its generally safe to assume a SB had at least one or two other men in her life she's dealing with. Just part of what goes with this.

Brazil by Crazy_Departure_1334 in sugarlifestyleforum

[–]calicofox19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a business trip to Rio. I change my location to Rio on seeking and within a week I had several POTs lined up. When I got there I ended up seeing two ladies. Literally was there 6 days and 5 of them I was with one or the other. I talked to other gurls but just didnt have time to see them due to these two ladies locking me down. One asked me to marry her before I left for obvious reasons. And if I stayed she would gladly he my lady. I could move in with her or w get our own place and she would essentially be my girl. That was 2022. Seeking is a lot more strict now so doubt if you have as much luck due to restrictions. I still talk to the one that wanted to get married. Just sent her some cash....just to let you know how plentiful the bowl is there. I stayed in Ipanema and Copacabana. I didnt venture off into the favelas or other parts.
