Not at all experienced as fairly new to punting, I've sent 12 messages on Adultwork, 7 unread, 2 responses from the others, is this normal or have I just been unlucky ?
I'd say that's a poor rate of return.
1. Are the girls well known and well regarded?
- You're not likely to get a reply from a dodgy profile e.g. a gallery seller.
2. Are you requesting a booking or just asking questions?
- In general I only contact girls to make a booking and don't waffle too much - only include the important stuff i.e. date, booking length and preferred booking time e.g. Thursday 31st August, 1 hour incall, sometime between 11am and 3pm.
I imagine that the girls get shedloads of PMs and you can come across as a time waster or a nuisance if you ask loads of questions prior to making a booking, especially if the question is already covered by info on her profile.
3. Are you contacting them for short notice appointments?
- If you contact a popular girl for a same day booking she may well be fully booked already, and I've found some girls won't bother replying if that is the case (even some highly regarded ones).
4. Is the girl available when you want to book her?
- If she's posted her availability and you're requesting a booking on a date she's not available, some girls won't bother replying.
5. When did she last log in?
- She might be on holiday.
btw. when a message is marked as unread it means she hasn't read it on AW but she might still have read it - you can configure AW to email you the actual text of any PMs you receive.
