Agreed a very useful topic.
Like you my 1. and 2. searches are by registered date and by proximity (I actually run 1. both with and without a screen for factors like age (18-26), dress size (6-8), area (5 miles) and CIM which are more a matter of personal choice).
My 3. is a favourite, by registered date, area 10 miles, verification photo displayed. These allows me to see new profiles in the broad area still displaying the verification picture. I generally save the verification pictures with profiles listed in the last day or two. This together with 1. is my main source of potential TOFTT candidates.
similar factors though have 2 saved searches and 2 hotlists and a massive blacklist.
Plan A hotlist is basically regulars or girls I've seen and reviewed and would defo see again
Plan B hotlist has those I haven't seen but either by UKP reviews or instinct I would like to see, depending on the punt I move plan B's to plan A
saved search 1: bog standard local scouting, age 25, 5 mile radius, viewable ratings, price cap, signed on in the last week,
saved search 2: I'm either feeling flush or desperate
age 30, 7 miles, no price, play it by eye+UKP
blacklist: obviously keeps your seaches more civilized over time ...anything gross or with more UKP negatives than positives, any "no blacks", excessive photoshop, excessive blah blah profile or obviously fake/PG Scam
all tasks made so much easier with the amazing AW script I added in a browser plug in that shows the bareback warning, age, nationality, cup size, rates and UKP review count right on the AW page and directly links the reviews at a click (saves copying and pasting AW ID), once I see red numbers pop up on the AW page ...insta blacklist.
