Adultwork - Complete Rubbish

[halfcut]

I have given up with adult work. Most of the service providers look completely average, feedback is mostly false, rates are over the top ( London )and to be honest I am bored and done with it. I've removed my profile and am going to make a serious attempt at ending a 25 year punting career as I am just don't feel like it anymore. Adult work is a waste of time and its time for to move on to something far more productive and useful.

[sirlargerone]

see ya next week, you will return

[halfcut]

We will see but I am fairly disillusioned at the minute with punting. After today when I arranged a booking, traveled halfway across London to be told when I got there she wasn't working and offered me something  from the Eastern bloc instead that was about as attractive as a work boot. Waste of time and effort and I am fed up dealing with it to be honest, my radar is well jaded.

[yuiop300]

Best option is to go research the AD profiles with feedback and reviews from people on here.

Going by just AW feedback can be a nightmare at times.

[chodu1]

I can sympathise with this... Mostly its the time wasted that gets me.... Travelling across London only to get no answer or a fucked up bait n switch...

and of course after all that you are still paying nearly £70-90 for 30 mins for anything half decent, when any A list agency costs £100 for 30 mins anyway and can at least be relied upon to text an address by return and not fuck up anything re the booking. Only risk you run is a major photoshopped girl looking uglier than her pics - I have found most to be tolerable and some as stunning as their pics.

Fuck AW!

[squeezebox]

I'm not near London, but get the impression, as it's a competitive area, the rates are reasonable compared to say, Bristol or Birmingham, with more choice. It depends on what you're looking for and the budget you have of course.   25 years of punting will jade anyone, so the normal advice would be take a break and when you return, look at the UKP reviews for a balanced POV.

I am sure many of us feel the same as you, I have cut my punting down to less than once a month, there are some gems on Adultwork but it is like trying to find a nugget of gold in ten tons of manure.

Join the club. 

You can waste your half your life trawling through AW. Used to spend ages on there. Maybe ten minutes per week max these days.

Sadly I still waste at least 10 minutes a day on there ------------------------ just in case I miss something.   

[kowalski]

I agree,sick of crap joints and time used in research and travel.I too have provisionally knocked it on the head.Why are they all here?because they see us as mugs. Even horror story fat birds are at it,some would need to pay me.

[Steve2]

Yes , there is plenty of crap but the gems are there too as I found out again today

 

[Hobbit]

I think we all have been here before and until there's juice in the tank, we will keep looking for a punt now and then. My frequencies go up and down also, sometimes I see escorts once a month or sometimes twice. The thing with Adultwork is that that's all we have for searching for escorts on a broad scale, so until someone develops something different, we can either use it or not.

[virgil]

I know the feeling except that I cannot think of more than a couple of AW punts that have disappointed me and those just because the live lady wasn't as attractive as the chopped pics suggested.

When in the mood I look a lot and don't punt with many as I find stars at parlours and return to them and maintain the AW stars I have met.

Such success may only come with extreme length of experience though and not just hoping it will turn out great.

[rockharders]

AW sucks for the following reasons:

1) FB is useless. There's no such thing as a bad prossie (according to AW, they are all good) because the SP can censor out bad reviews and block unfavourable field reports. They can also leave punters retaliatory FB, which is also discouraging.
2) Even if FB did show negatives, prossie can simply delete the old profile and start a new one.
3) Profiles are reused and passed around between girls setting up new profiles or those working for new pimps etc. Therefore any older FB will apply to the previous "owners" of the profile. Too much B&S and pimp groups pretending to be indies.
4) While punters are free to leave their opinion, the FB left by many AW punters is utterly useless and fluffy. For example, "a gentleman doesn't tell" type of reviews.

Unfortunately for us, there's nothing else to substitute for AW in terms of searchability and the size of the directory.

The way I use AW is as a directory and bookmark site (for the HL), then I check the reviews on UKP.

[llanero]

AW is not completely at fault: it's the economy!
Romanians *tend to* niche the lower end of the market -bar some exceptions- both in quality of service (average = none) but it is also true they live in low income and relatively inexpensive areas of London. Hungarians show a far better attitude at the same price and in the same areas, just that in numbers they should be around half the Roms and unfortunately a fair slice of them are in an age bracket and looks which make them less appealing compared with the Roms.
Then of course we've got central London where you'll be expected to unload 150 quid per hour min but one of the best places for punting my old friend had the pleasure...

[halfcut]

Appreciate feedback.going to have a break and then find a decent flat-anyone remember twice as nice in Elgin ave?

[mrfixit37]

At the end of the day it is what it is.. It can be manipulated . it should only be a guide and never used as a bible. Yeah theres fake profiles fake photos and fake girls when you get there but that's part of the whole thing not knowing until she opens that door and you have that first 30 secs of interaction. Don't rely on anything and always be prepared to walk. If you want a 'release ' that bad go to a walk up in Soho. The bonus is when you do find a nugget its amazing. I've gone through shit patches but still come back after a few weeks . what I do know is narrow the odds with checking on here and checking her feedback . you can check the people out who give them feedback and judge if they're fake or not. It might seem like hard work but  its always a punt.

[Watts.E.Dunn]

Can understand how you feel re this "burnout" it does take a surprising ammount of time reaserching and organising and of course the quality of the wimmen in your area.

But you are in London, come up here to the sticks of East Anglia and see what its like;!(.

OK I know, a duff punt is a duff punt anywhere:(..

[maxjabby]

I totally understand where you are coming from. I have been punting for some years. Since before the days we even had the likes of AW and I have to say its becoming more and more of a chore to buy exactly what it says on the tin so to speak 

[mrfixit37]

I started when all you had was cards in phone boxes .no internet sites. That was difficult I' ll tell ya.

[MisterMr]

Old thread but the content sums up how i feel now... Some of the girls on Adultwork are absolutely horrendous.
They should all give a percentage back to the punter lol,  that is if they actually make any money

[Stonecold]

Too many girls using AW as an extension of SA and other sugar daddy sites. This generation is obsessed with being part of the “It Crowd” on social media.

[CluckinBell]

I am sure many of us feel the same as you, I have cut my punting down to less than once a month, there are some gems on Adultwork but it is like trying to find a nugget of gold in ten tons of manure.   

100% agree with this

[CluckinBell]

100% agree with this.Thought you said the quote today not 2014 

[osclaz]

just returned after a couple years hiatus (got bored with the lack of good choices on AW and tired of the romas on vivastreet). finding AW is even worse than when I left  . prices have nearly doubled too, I don't mind paying for a bit of quality, but not £200+ for an hour ffs.
guess I just miss the good old days when there was plenty of fresh talent that didn't do drugs, bb, or think they're gold plated.
whingeing over...

[alanarmstrong12345]

My problem with AW is the UI. Its horrendous. I know this website is without a doubt monetised in how the credit system works an SP once told me AW take a cut when you buy credits to view photos etc.... A website that probably does make a fairly decent amount of money considering the traffic and that most of the girls profiles (if you take time to look have 100's of thousands of views on them) The entire search function is shocking and even after years of using it they still have not fixed the search function that goes grey on the search bar on the proximity postcode search and you have to go back and refresh the page and start over. This is something a good software dev could fix. This site could be made to look great and the entire functionality could be improved substantially for literally a couple of grand. It makes me want to consider setting up an alternative, With real Admins that check profiles and SP's who fuck around get NUKED and banned for life. What are we thinking is there a gap in the market for this? or is AW good enough....

[bronson24]

Found adultwork a waste of time. Gone right downhill over the last year or 2

[shagmore]

Why the fuck has this thread been brought up after 2012
Start a new thread .
Was just about to slate the original guy for only 1 post since 2012 then noticed its tricking years old.
Move on. start a new thread not old ones

[king tarzan]

75% rubbish...so many ugly women

how do you know? You have not posted a review yet.

[Jay80]

I would like to see what's happen without AW 

[munterhunter]

Adultwork is there to make money they are not going to restrict or penalise the poor service providers the bait and switch merchants or the scammers all of whom pay to display their phone numbers and collect on private gallery viewings and AW takes their cut from that.
There is no other site with the sheer numbers of service providers to compare. I rarely visit London but when I do and have time for a punt I'll use the same tactics I use elsewhere.
I try to avoid Romanians
I'll have a look at the aw feedback and have a quick look
at the punters feedback from other girls to make sure I'm seeing genuine feedback from a genuine punter.
I'll look on here at reviews of girls in the area I'm visiting or If I spot a girl on aw I'll see if she's been reviewed here. Yes it takes a bit of time but in the long run I'm looking to spend my money on my pleasure and if half an hour of research makes the outcome more positive I'm prepared to put the time in.

[Chorley]

I've rarely bother with AW these days. It's pretty much complete dross, with B&S profiles, shopped pictures, and just general bullshit. 

I've actually had more success on Vivastreet, which sums up how bad AW actually is.

Thats just it.

They also have a duty of care to protect the WG's but not necessarily the punter from how it appears. If you as a punter register more than one account, it will IP log your other accounts so the WG knows who you have previously been and can see what your feedback used to be.

We as punters don't get that. We as punters get girls selling successful profiles to Sergei so he can stick his newest girl on there with instant high level feedback.

I don't really have an answer for how to fix it, but its not the best system.

[Autopunter]

We will see but I am fairly disillusioned at the minute with punting. After today when I arranged a booking, traveled halfway across London to be told when I got there she wasn't working and offered me something  from the Eastern bloc instead that was about as attractive as a work boot. Waste of time and effort and I am fed up dealing with it to be honest, my radar is well jaded.

Can you bang old SPs if they're incredibly good in bed, or do you need a good looking young woman? Because I know an excellent SP (well, she ain't much of a talker) who actually does the whole slow, sensual tantric schtik, incalls are for £90 for an hour. All you have to do is lie there and try not to expire.

However, lookswise you're in deep granny territory, I won't lie. I very nearly did an about face the first time we met (very unlike me not to have done in that situation actually), though I later came to appreciate that it was my good luck I didn't. Anyway, the point is that unlike many a time I've come across a young hottie and leapt for joy, I've subsequently never been let down - in the bedroom or with comms, booking, prices etc - by her in half a dozen bookings. She's the rare woman who I'll accept CBJ from and it will actually be decent.

So, if its a great shag you're after, looks don't matter, and its not PSE you like (that's definitely not her style) you can try here: External Link/Members Only

[Userenam]

there is nothing else besides aw that you can use. Vivastreet is worse and Kommons is a strange one.

[BestofBritish84]

I agree with most in this thread. AW isn't the best and the design/use of the website is pretty shocking.

Having said that, it is the best tool available to start searching and has the most content. I generally find that it's a good to find a few potential options and then do a bit more research (such as look for proper reviews on here) to really narrow it down.

[tantric talents]

The biggest problem with AW is their total inability to honestly screen nationality properly.
I am sure this is deliberate as most of us would just exclude Romanians from our searches...
So many Roms now passing themselves off as other nationalities as they now know what we think of most of them

[jackdaw]

Been trying to organise first punt in a year. (I can't remember whether it was Nik or Jimmy that recommended it was worth doing one about every six months, just to remind yourself why you don't bother any more.)

Anyway, foolishly using AW...I suppose near inevitable because I've got an even lower opinion of large majority of agencies.

Not going well. I committed a "beginners error" by using some anglo-saxon terminology in approach to first object of my lust. I put something along the lines of "I want to lick your cunt, and spunk into your mouth" This resulted in a "no chance" reply, although provider claims to really enjoy reverse oral and CIM.

I put this down to my fault, I suspect phrasing it along lines of "Wish to taste your divine pussy, and enter the heaven of your mouth, and feed it with ambrosia" would have led to a booking. Long ago Marmalade did (I think) point out the importance of delicate wording...but it's so long since I've tried to get a booking I forgot.

Second attempted booking (to another WG) (more diplomatically worded this time) has been read and totally ignored. This time I put it down to having mentioned a specific time...if memory serves many WG's if they can't make precise time just completely ignore message. Few say something like "Can't make that time, but other possibilities are..."

Anyway...on my third go now.

Not optimistic...think I may be cheering myself up tomorrow by thinking about money saved.

But screening of nationalities won't improve the Romanians and will discriminate against the good ones. There are a few out there, but screening will take away any incentive to do better.

It isn't the good ones that put a nationality down other than their own!

It's most likely impossible to screen out anyway...if a romanian living in this country puts her nationality down as Italian I don't see how AW admin could tell they were lying.

But in general AW do little to check veracity of profiles. There are a ton of picture sellers and cam providers who claim to escort to get more views, for example...and in a fair number of cases it's obvious from profile itself that this is case. But AW do naff all to stop that.

[triggs91]

But screening of nationalities won't improve the Romanians and will discriminate against the good ones. There are a few out there, but screening will take away any incentive to do better.

I'd ideally like a way of screening by IP address so I can avoid going to places which are obviously being run by somebody else or where there are loads of WG's working from one run down flat.

I used to love the antipation of walking up to a WG's own front door and home. There aren't really any girls who operate out of a house any more in London, Herts or Essex which is where I tend to go for.

[Mini_Me]

Yes , there is plenty of crap but the gems are there too as I found out again today

 

+1
I enjoy the searching for the gems.

[Heph]

Balls!

AW is, by a dozen country miles, the best resource there is. It has many limitations and annoying quirks; it could certainly use a big dose of fresh innovation and all-round improvement, but the competition is... utter dross.

Most complaints about AW are remedied by visiting VivaStreet, Gumtree, AceMassage(!?), or being restricted to agencies, all of which are even more vulnerable to dead-links, false ads, B&S etc, and most make the user search experience even more cumbersome. And searching for Indies without the benefit of a marketplace platform is impossibly time-consuming.

Whingers are free to write to AW with their constructive suggestions, or show us all the how it should be done and fund their alternatives.

Adultwork has no viable competition, finding a gem on there is like findind a nugget of gold in ten tons of horse manure.

Hundreds, if not thousands of lowlife Romanian skanks ------------- and people wonder why I stopped punting.

'Finding fun is a struggle - so I quit altogether'

Incidentally; every gold miner the world over would love to have to the "nugget in 10 tons of horse manure" problem. Gems, by definition, are not two-a-penny.

I have not quit altogether, but far more selective, especially after my last disaster. 

I am more interested in the domination scene, any recommendations always welcome. 

[Sheraton]

Yes it’s bollocks.  From today onwards I tend to use this site to HL birds on AW. Don’t see any other way to do things tbh...

Yes, this site helps but many of the hookers on Adultwork are here today, gone tomorrow —— so the reviews on here lead to a dead end.

What is the answer. ???

There isn’t one.
