The perils of the occasional punter

[SirFrank]

I've never clocked up a Greek debt on punting and the frequency of my punts has become even more sporadic over the last few years. Ive only had a few punts this year - I could count them on the finger of one hand. What I have now come to realise however is that I've become so risk averse that arranging a punt is increasingly difficult.

I want a 5* punt with a reliable girl at a reasonable price. Consequently, I end up doing endless homework and wouldn't consider booking a girl with no feedback and only really consider girls with good UKP feedback. It's much like having ocd and has virtually eradicated any spontaneity whatsoever for me - I just won't take a chance anymore and wouldn't dream of visiting a knocking shop because I just wouldn't contemplate a lucky dip.

While I'd say my quality of punts has increased the frequency has decreased and the process has become so cumbersome that Im often faced with inertia. It's taken a much of the fun out of the process for me. How do others find the process these days?

I hear are you are comic from SirFrank. I have become more and more choosy and a little bored with some of the less enthusiastic girls, especially those who cannot converse reasonably well. Blow up dolls are cheaper and make better sense than them for me 

[Cuntminion]

Find a good regular , adverts possible disappointment

One thinking I've lent is don't break personal rules, I said no more than twice a month, done three weeks in a row this month, due to logistics not money next punt is two weeks away and I got used to it weekly

Now the long wait, definitely gonna stick to twice a month now if not every three weeks

[Longlife]

My frequency had dropped off but this year has increased. This is in part due to having a fantastic regular interspersed with a couple of girls where I have seen good reviews plus a party. I do now what you mean about inertias though. I have looked at a couple of others but due to too much choice and not enough information haven't actually booked them.

Ignorance is bliss can account for this, but in reality it isn't of course.

Sounds to me like you have become more discerning ----------------- nothing wrong with that, I am no longer prepared to hand over my money to lowlife skanks, I would rather lose it in the casino.

After last weeks puntless fiasco, the answer is 'bloody hard work'. I eventually had a wank and called it a day.

Not risk averse at all, if the wallet and disk say yes the mind does basic research and usually goes well, how much research can one do without over thinking it. Time is money and spending hours researching would cost more than the cost of occasional failure.

[Hawkwind71]

I have recently converted my HL into a 100% UKP approved list. I was delighted how many there were that qualified. I really don't need to research further beyond a read of the AW profile to make sure she's my type. I have found that it has completely destressed me. So yes I am more picky but UKP approval sure reduces the investigation time.

The value of this site.

[Hawkwind71]

I should add I have a couple lined up for TOFFT. But these are found through casual browsing not stress searching. It really is fun.

[charger70]

I am not sure i am qualified to answer, but I too,have the two week rule, and  definitely try not to break it, but having reviewed my last few months activities, I think I have squeezed in  more than that! For me, regulars whom I have filtered out as offering me what I am looking for form the bedrock, and then if somone new or exciting appears, I try and fit that in ( Currently on the waiting list for Little Katie, so you cn see that I have become a patient man, one of the benefits of age!    I guess it rather depends why you are risk adverse, I assume its against a poor punt, which is understandable,  but I imagine the opposite can work too, i.e. being pleasantly surprised!

No beat the 100 is a good game to play, set up a new girl notification within so many miles set up and try and book the new one before 100 views.  Last time I won this was Meggie from by reviews !

Sounds like your regular deserves a review on here Longlife!

Reading franks original post it could have been me writing it because im in a similar place.  I wasnt too fussy when i first started out, i frequented any old grotty parlour. Nowadays i read through reviews of wg's and have a good read of their profiles before booking anyone out.

I havent punted this year because nothing's really catching my eye and also i do strongly feel that punting has been ruined by girls entering into the industry that just dont want to do it and the only motivation for them is getting as much cash as they can by doing as little work as possible.

There are genuine girls out there who no one is denying they are in it for the money of course but they do enjoy a good fuck and are honestly turned on by giving their clients a good time.

With keeping the above in mind and remembering that researching wg's is important before making a booking its also worth noting that no matter how careful you are, A meeting with a girl you havent seen before will always be a 'punt', it will always be a gamble with a lot of money. Some mention its great if you have a good regular to fall back on and i agree with that but even then, once upon a time she was a gamble herself when you seen her for the first time so its a fine ballance between researching and over-thinking.

Anyway i guess what im trying to say is....actually i havent got a fucking clue what im trying to say, christ i can ramble on.

[Quesadilla]

Great to see you back posting btw Sir Frank! Been dull here without you.   

I'm currently not punting as I'm in a monogamous relationship but you never know how long these things will last - so I still enjoy doing a bit of research as if I was punting - I read reviews here and add to my HL etc.  I get a bit of a buzz out of the idea of fucking some of these hotties even if I'm not punting. 

However, when it comes to actual punting I have to agree - it can be quite frustrating. When I know I'm going to have to part with hard earned cash I also absolutely want a 5 start guaranteed punt and after my last well published debacle would probably never TOFTT again. 

That said, I'm extremely lucky in that I'm based in Surrey on the edge of London so I do have a lot to choose from - I have a fair few UKP favourites in my HL's that I've not had a chance to see yet - like Hot Ameera, Hazel Kitty, Lilly Hart, Analqueen1, SexyIndependent, and Michelle Independent and I also still have a bunch of regulars who are 5 star guaranteed punts - MissKDD, Hayley XX, HornySluttyGirl, Adele4u and Miss Maraschino, or if I'm prepared to travel further afield and/or wait for availability there's Little Katie and the recently departed Lindsey xx.

Actually, what am I saying, frustrated??? I'm absolutely spoilt for choice! 

[Third Man]

i find myself now punting less because of a combination of me becoming much much more fussy and this site being such a help. At th mo i spend a fair bit of time in newcastle but iv had to go to sheffield and leeds for something difffrent. . 

[stevedave]

The problems I have are more time constraints than anything, and that having a knock on effect on who I can - or more pertinently can't - see.

I work in a city centre, so in theory have a phalanx of opportunities waiting outside my office doors...but in reality, the girls I could see for 30 minutes that are within 10-15 minutes walk of the office are, generally speaking, the same girls day in day out, or a selection of "this week's touring EE lady" - which has given me a couple of decent punts. But after a couple of bang average punts, I'm not overly keen on toftt if I can avoid it.

There are some very tasty independents in Leeds who I would love to see more regularly, but they work on the other side of the city, so I'm not able to pop in at short notice, like I have been with a lot of the EE girls. If the OH has to go away for a night or two (which is seldom, but has happened a couple of times recently - result!) then I can see someone for an hour or so in an evening...otherwise, there is no chance and I'm left with taking pot luck on girls available at short notice for a lunchtime session.

Nothing more to add, exactly the situation I find myself in.

[anyfucker]

How do others find the process these days?

For me i created a hotlist based on "the best of 2014/15" type posts of others so am having a great time and have probably met (new to me) about 15 great WGs this year plus old favourites. The only downside for me is that these WGs tend to be booked up in advance so when an urgent need arises then it might a newbie with mixed results. Said bye, bye to a couple who have moved/retired Lexi, Nicole, Nathalie.
Nope, i'm not writing a review for these well reviewed WGs unless they provide poor service.

[JR]

There is an element of inertia in my own situation but this is far outweighed by:
1) Financial restraints
2) Having (IMO) two top class regulars
3) Availability in my area

2) means I want to see my 2 girls anyway, 2)+1) means I don't really have cash left to try many new girls and 3) means even if 1) & 2) were overcome its still difficult

Actually if I had more money I would probably see my regulars more often before trying new girls, recently had probably the best sex I have ever had with one and am counting the days till payday

Totally hear you JR, but don't forget the joy of the fresh punt. When I see a girl I have seen before I am excited. When I see a new one recommended on UKP I am beside myself. There's a difference.

[Wounded Punter]

I am in total agreement with Sir Frank
Not just because of my personal circumstance, I think as you get older you become wiser and also seek the finer things in all aspects of life.
This isn't only punting related but everything.
I'm fed up with jobsworths, people who quote health and safety or data protection rules etc.
So many people assume you are an unthinking idiot without a brain and refuse to look outside the box.
There are plenty of options out there so you can decide to be choosey and not take the first piece of crap offered to you
Rant now over

Completely agree, although you can develop things with a reg. Going the other way, I have a punt arranged for a couple of weeks time with a wg who has mo info on here, very limited AW feedback and only a couple of hazy pics. I don't intend to speak to her before we meet. The element of surprise adds a whole new dimension to things. One where I'll enter prepared to walk!

Another like minded occasional punter here

I used to punt at least a couple of times a month when I first took up this hobby in 2009 but by 2013 I was finding most sessions to be rather underwhelming, perhaps due to the novelty having worn off over the years plus the lack of fresh faced British WGs in my neck of the woods.

So rather than continue to waste my money on mediocre punts with fly-by-night Romanians I ended up taking a year off and have only got the urge to punt again recently.

However I'm much more circumspect than before and tend to only punt with escorts whom I've had good times with previously or that have some good feedback on UKP.

It does mean that I spend a lot more time doing research than actually punting but at least I haven't returned home from any sessions this year thinking how much better my money would've been spent elsewhere.

[lostandfound]

I've been punting a long time, and have probably always punted spontaneously, and continue to do so. I like to have a list of prospects, and if I know there's going to be an opportunity for a punt, I'll try and put things in place so it will be easier for me to do so.

Spontaneity is key for me rather than over thinking or over planning - when it comes around to the day, I still like to leave it open as to whether I'll actually go through with it. I've learnt to be able to tell if I'm really up for a punt - which means I'll most likely enjoy it. Conversely if I don't fancy it on the day I won't bother.

This sums me up as well. I don't punt often so I REALLY want the £100 or whatever I spend to actually be worth it. I find I am spending hours on AW and UKP trawling through profiles and matching them with any reviews to try and find a WG who is worth it.

Me too, but I blitzed it cos I was so way from where I should be that I was sick of looking at them.

Congrats on the relationship and good luck with it! 

[rubric]

For me, the limiting factor - being quite busy - is usually time. It's not that the money doesn't matter - but having limited time the thought that it will take about four hours (an hour driving each way, an hour and a half of appointment, and half an hour of finding the place/parking etc) and so half a day goes by is usually the thing that puts me off.  I mean, if I found a great WG who did everything I liked near one of the areas I am habitually in then it would be a different story - but most of the places I'm near tend to be punting deserts.

And then even if I find someone, it's quite often that they aren't available at a convenient time (usually earlier in the day) and so on. Plus given the days I have free, I often find that a girl decides at the last moment that she isn't working or something.

For me, the search/research is always a key part of the build up to a planned punt. If the criteria isn't met, then it wasn't meant to be. However, I'm a bit of a gambler deep down and if the profile sounds right, a possible UKP review too, nice telephone manner, then I may take a risk even if there's mixed opinion/feedback and she's sounds/looks my type.

My current squeeze might be up for some MFF, so my research would be focussed on UKP confirmed WG's that see couples...so research would be easier for sure. If it happens, I'll review accordingly.
