Ways That Adult Work Could Be Improved

[Vice Admiral]

I can think of several, but here's one to be getting on with.

In the vast majority of cases where an escort hides her feedback, it's because she's dodgy.  After all, bona fide escorts can dispute negative feedback if they wish, and Adult Work will remove feedback that gives personal information (such as an escort's real name, or her address).

When a girl is dodgy – or her profile is a Private Gallery scam – the feedback saying as much is likely to be "non-scoring" feedback.  That is, where an official booking has been made, but the escort hasn't "confirmed" it.  The feedback will then show as "Feedback Only", there having been no option to register Positive, Neutral or Negative.

If you put your cursor over a profile with hidden feedback, however, only the totals for "scoring" feedback are shown.  There's no indication of whether or not there's "non-scoring" feedback, or of how many such feedbacks there may be.

The existence of "non-scoring" feedbacks on hidden feedback would be useful to know, and I'm surprised that the Adult Work "counter" doesn't include a category for number of non-scoring feedbacks – for both hidden and non-hidden feedbacks, of course.

(Others may say that they would never consider seeing a girl with hidden feedback, and in 95% of cases that is an unarguable position.  Nonetheless – the more information the better!)

[tesla]

why are you suggesting this on here, surely suggesting it to Adultwork would be better.

Hidden feedback? I move on, most of it is suspect anyway

[southcoastpunter]

Yes that could be a useful addition but - with respect, what is the point of us coming up with ideas on how to improve AW?  AW doesn't read UKP as far as I can tell and they don't seem interested in getting any ideas from punters.

Adult Work's "customer services" is (as indeed you imply) poor to non-existent, so there's little point in trying to engage with them directly.

I would be a little surprised if AW didn't cast an occasional eye over UKP – and therefore might just conceivably act upon a few suggestions that might be made in a thread like this. 

But who knows?

[bender999]

To be fair, AW doesn't have a forum like this where improvements could be suggested. So Vice Admiral could gather together our suggestions and post a very nice email to AW. Nothing will happen of course but perhaps it allows us to get things off our chests.

My suggestion is that every photo has to be date stamped.

AW is essentially paid for by the service providers, not the users, so why would they invest time and effort considering and acting on what the users think or want ?

That's pretty obvious, isn't it? For example, commercial TV is paid for by the advertisers so why they are concerned about what programs viewers might want to see . Just have a blank screen betwen the adverts then.

Adult Work earns money from "providers" when they pay to have their phone numbers listed, to be shown as Available Today, or to be featured.

But the site also takes 30% of the money from Private Galleries and Movies – and in this case it's the "users" who are paying, at least in the first instance.

The better any web site is, the more money it makes.

(In most respects, it has to be said, AW is a pretty good site.  But a few tweaks here and there would make it better.)

I fancy a lot of commercial TV would be improved by removing the "programs" and just running the adverts.

AW will start listening to punters needs only if they ever make it a pay to view site and they have a revenue stream to juggle with. Anything that improves the punters lot will come as a downside to the providers lot, ie improved transparency, and the last thing they will want is to lose paying customers.

When searching for SPs, narrow the 'last logged in timeframe' from a week so you can search for girls that have logged in on that day. (But it wouldnt work in their favour as i think they charge sps more to advertise as available today)

[wylie anchor]

The problem with AW is that they have no real competition, they will only change things if it makes an improvement in their profit, quality of service is not an issue, where else can you or SP's go?

AW sort of have competition like webcam side like Cam4 and adult content like Manyvids. AW is a top dogs for escort service in this Country.

AW is the only site I know has everything on there.
It's only popular in this country U.K and some parts of Europe. AW in the USA or others country is probably not that popular, but I could be wrong.

[wilbers]

Age verification shouldn't be that hard to do, especially when done at same time as profiles get verified now; as in actual age, not just proof of 18+.  If birthday is stored by AW (but obviously not displayed on profile) age could be updated automatically.

[nilbymouth]

faster site
better image galleries
more user friendly search.
Location search closer than postcode.
better messaging
better api

[george test]

You have far too much time on your hands. Are the Mrs and the kids off on holiday so you are free to wade through all the profiles that refuse to show their feedback?
Stick to ones that have loads of positives on AW that you can view,  and loads of positives on here and you should get what you expect; a decent punt with a well reviewed SW.

Adultseek? Honestly it's not that much better but it is an alternative.

Never used Adultseek but looks pretty good to me. I give them a try, thank you mate.

looks to be mainly agency girls, only a few identifiable indies and some I've not seen advertised before, bit like the old Cherry Girls site.

[bedhedred]

Aw should sort the nationality filter to show common wg nationalities first. I hate having to scroll for Poles and Romanians.

[cumtoplay]

yes a Rommie filter

[daviemac]

yes a Rommie filter

You can include / exclude any nationality you want.   

[Vice Admiral]

You can include / exclude any nationality you want.   

Unless I'm very much mistaken, if you exclude (say) Romanians, for some glitchy reason you also exclude all girls who have no nationality specified.

If I'm right, it's surely not beyond the wit of man for Adult Work's tekkies to sort this out?

It's been like that for years, they won't bother to sort that out though, it won't make them any more money.

I'm posting this just to get it off my chest.

One thing that doesn't quite piss me off about Adultwork - more it intrigues me - is when I do a trawl of SPs in my preferred age range in, e.g., Greater Manchester and the list never seems to include girls who fit the criteria but who I've seen before, in some cases up to 5 years ago.

It's unnecessary hassle to have to do a separate trawl to see if someone I've seen before & might want to see again is still working or has retired/moved on.

I know we can't do anything about  but thanks, if you have been, for reading my gripe.

[nightbot]

I'd like to be able to select more than one option for age range when searching. I only look for women between 22-35 as they are close to my age, but that means I have to search for 18-24 first and then 25-30 and then 31-35. If I don't then I end up seeing all the under 22 and 35+ escorts who are just too old for me or too young for my liking.

The other thing being I want to be able to select size categories specifically while searching (maybe like a check mark). This is primarily cause I don't want to search for size 12 women just because I'm also searching for size 10. I mean size 6 and size 8 are pretty similar, it's just that size 6 is someone who's super small but both are slim. Size 10 is still slim, just bigger build. But size 12 is where you start getting noticeable bellies and is quite a bit different from size 10, and it's no longer what I consider to be slim.

Id like a direct link from messages to the girls profile

[Avg_Joe]

what would be nice, is if you open a link to a profile, say from here, and the page loads, if it would tell you somewhere, perhaps top left where hotlist notification is, if the profile was in your blacklist already !

[Rochelle]

Basically, some are so lazy that they want the simplest things changed, in order to avoid a few more clicks.

[winkywanky]

What would be nice is if when you clicked on an AW link via UKP, this immediately alerted the WG to offer you a 25% discount, should you choose to book.

Can't see that happening somehow though..

I actually kinda like that idea...except for the 25% part.

[Avg_Joe]

lol, terrible idea........ linking your AW and UKP usernames. what could possibly go wrong 

[winkywanky]

I thought you might say that  .

OK then, how about 15mins extra in a 1hr booking?

Another gripe I forgot to post when this thread was originally running was that you can't run the sequence of photos in a SP's ordinary Gallery on an automatic delay of, say, 5 or 10 seconds, as you can with PG photos.

[winkywanky]

Don't you have at least one hand free to click your mouse as you peruse their gallery?   

[TonyJC]

Remove all "at discretion" options from "Enjoys" list.

[southcoastpunter]

whats the point of that? it would make no difference. If the lady doesn't do it or doesn't want to do it with you, she won't!

[Rochelle]

What if you have a ginormous cock (Anal), cheese on your cock (OWO), or dreadful halitosis (French Kissing).

Do you think WGs should be forced to do everything in their Enjoys? 

[winkywanky]

If you have all three of those, two are easily remedied and the third will almost certainly help you find luuurve on civvie street  .

What? At 74?!!

[winkywanky]

She may not be under 60 of course, but there's plenty of hot birds of that age who might kill you with a smile on your face

Require SPs to provide proof of their age when they register and the site automatically updates it with no ability for the SP to alter it.

Sadly, easily circumvented by SP's scanning their document(s) and then Photoshopping the date.

I know, because I was briefly a service provider (don't ask  ) and I took ten years off my age  .

I think they're a bit stricter now about ID but I met on SP about 2 or 3 years ago, advertising as 29, we had a brief post-punt chat and it was mentioned, she said she was 30 but hadn't updated her profile, she's still showing as 29 now. I presume anybody joining AW more recently will be asked for proof of age and the age shown will click over every year on their birthday, false or not.

You can change your date of birth to whatever you want.

As I said earlier, I did, but I feel sure you haven't Rochelle  .

I've already said I've lied about my age.
