I've been using AW less and less as the quality is simply poor. It's now mainly foreign girls, sorry but I like the company I keep to speak my language. I've just tried searching using 'registered date' and almost the entire first page is cam/scam girls who list as escorts but with no prices. Seems as though the young English fit girls can make enough money without actually meeting. The site is now full of this and it seems as though it's being tolerated.
It's starting to feel as though AW is going down very quickly.
For what it's worth, I've been thinking the same. It used to be the case that my hotlist would make me drool with anticipation and leave me dumbfounded at the variety, trying to decide who to pick, at prices around 100/120. Every time I would log in I would add maybe two, three profiles to the hotlist. I've definitely noticed a change: nowadays it's much harder to find interesting profiles. The ones where the girl looks attractive are generally heavily photoshopped, which is a clear sign reality will be much different. There are very few profiles at 120£ that I would trust, and then again I keep opening my hot list and... then closing it because it's just not as hot as it should. I've been punting much less, and been trying with agencies: it's the same kind of girls I would have booked on Adultwork, but now they go for 200/600, and there's much, much fewer of them.
I've read this thread, and of course the strong nationalists deny that anything is wrong, the old times were better because of no immigration but still not better in punting terms, we're going to be fine, etc., but the aspects I think are related to this are:
- the drop in value in the pound. Someone said "maybe" the pound dropped by 10% versus the Euro. Not really, it dropped 24% on the Euro and 20% on the Swiss Frank versus its peak one and a half years ago. Sure, the usual attitude on this forum (where most people act as if girls had to consider a privilege to be allowed in the UK in order to suck the withering cocks out of our fat bellies) is "they come from shitty places, they'll like it anyway", but reality is showing a different face.
- in any case, just imagine getting a 24% salary cut, and think about how happy you'd be
- most people are not willing to spend more, because despite what the stats seem to say, I suspect not a lot of people are earning more than two years ago.
- I suspect that punters in the UK are on average worse than in many other countries in Europe: more frequently drunk, more frequently abusive (thanks also to the large presence of people from deeply misogynist cultures, such as but not limited to the Islamic one), more frequently old and ugly, more frequently racist, more frequently arrogant and ignorant,
- the lifestyle might be good for a girl who wants to party, but for someone who wants to live a normal life besides being a prostitute London is not always a friendly city
- the UK is in decline: cultural and political for sure, and I suspect soon also economical. Europeans perceive it. The current government is ridiculous, and the people who might replace the current PM are a bunch of clowns. You might shiver with anticipation thinking about the great old times coming back when you'll have taken back control, but the world has changed in the meantime. Everything is more connected, more globalised, and by telling the rest of Europe stuff like "fuck you all, we're going by ourselves, and you might not be allowed to remain, or to come, and by the way you're going to have to accept us in the single market anyway" the UK hasn't really gained in international PR.
- England has become in general a much less friendly place: I perceive it from here, people imagine it even much worse than is from the rest of Europe. It's much less interesting for a young girl to want to come to London, which is perceived as a hostile place for Europeans, filled with terrorists ready to strike and where people only care about themselves.
So, not a great outlook for the punting scene or for the country, as far as I'm concerned.
