INDEPENDENTS:Independent escorts can mostly be found on Adultwork but also there are some with their own personal websites advertising in several escort directories (Cherry Girls, %%%, Punterlink, etc) putting a link to their personal websites. Few of them also simply advertise everywhere.
AGENCIES:As I said and in a previous post there are 3 types of agencies – A, B and C.
Type A agencies are those with non-exclusive genuine escorts offering both incalls and outcalls. The pictures used by “type A” girls are photoshopped but nonetheless genuine and often accurate. “Type A” agency girls are just advertising on these agencies, getting work from them but they don't exclusively belong to a single agency. The girls live in their own premises and all the agency does is to call them and arrange the meeting on their behalf and getting 1/3 of the paid fee for the first hour. Most of these girls advertise at least in 10 such “type A” agencies (which include Admiral, Diva, Peachy, etc).
Type B and type C agencies are “outcall only” agencies and most of them have exclusive escorts. “Type B” are the completely legitimate ones with only genuine profiles advertised while “type C” are the “semi-legit” ones. By “semi-legit” we mean those “outcall only” agencies that only have 5-10 genuine escort profiles, but advertise 30 or more different profiles. Obviously these extra 20-25 profiles are fake (nb. they can be easily spotted through GRIS) and of course if you request a girl of a fake profile it will result to B&S. However if you book a girl of a real profile most chances are that you will indeed get the real girl.
There are also Type D agencies which are complete scams (i.e. organised thieves, cons). So I don't consider them as a type of agency at all.
ASSESSMENT:Incalls:For incalls without question Independent girls are from every point of view the best VFM. You will need to consider an agency girl only if you know she is very beautiful AND good provider and therefore is worth spending £200ph on her. But the caveat with “type A” agencies is that you don't speak to the girl prior to the meeting to discuss/confirm services. Therefore it is likely caveats such as no proper French kissing, cum once per hour, no OWO/CIM etc to crop up.
Outcalls: For outcalls most often the best VFM girls are the “outcall-only” girls. That is because albeit a large proportion of all escorts offer both incalls and outcalls, their outcall rates are usually at least £40-£50 per hour higher than their incall rate because according to the prossie logic the outcall fee should not be just the incall rate + travel expenses, but instead it should also include what they would have earned through incalls during their travelling time.
Independent "outcall only" girls outside Adultwork are non-existent. Even Adultwork is a relatively poor source of good VFM “outcall-only” girls. In London there are in total about 75 AW “outcall only” girls from which only 30 are good VFM for their looks (i.e. young, slim and pretty). On top of that many AW “outcall-only” girls don’t display phone numbers – so it’s hard to arrange a same day meeting (or a plan B outcall) with them. They also mostly work part time so they either don't bother to reply emails or give very delayed responses. Some also tend to “screen” you by your feedback score, e.g. 3 +ve minimum required which (although fine with me as I have plenty) is something that as a buyer I don’t support as I should not need a recommendation to book a prostitute.
“Outcall-only” agencies are a larger and also cheaper source of “outcall-only” girls than Adultwork with a combined total of more than 100 genuine girls (in London) priced up to £120 per hour and of whom half are very good VFM regarding looks. Also with “type B” agencies you will get a phone call from the girl to discuss services before you confirm the booking with her. Yet again service delivery and the lack of reliable feedback about these girls is an issue and things like clockwatching and timewasting techniques are common. That said you will discover a few rare gems (particularly very beautiful English girls) working with “Type B” and “Type C” agencies. So it is worth taking the risk once in a while.
