It's your money, don't be afraid to walk away.

[JontyR]

Don't presume the girls are gong to be around forever. If you get the chance to see someone on your hotlist...take it.

[jamiekinkxxx]

Keep within a budget you can afford, this can become a very expensive hobby. Prioritise your own financial future before the hobby.

[B4bcock]

Only go for a punt when you really want to and not just because you can.

[Demon8]

Don't try and find an SP if your plan falls apart. I've travelled some distance before and then been left in the lurch. I think making a last minute booking out of the sunk cost fallacy has led to something decent only once for me.


Secondly, be proactive and if you want to see someone, see them as soon as you can!

Q: Any words youd pass onto your inexperienced punter self?

A: yes - don't do it! Punting quickly becomes very addictive and very expensive!

[scouting]

Don't be inhibited

[big-al93]

Say the weird thing!! Whatever kink or fetish or thing you'd like to try is unlikely to phase her and she's probably seen/heard far far worse, unless she's very new.

[paul_tall_]

Having first ventured into this activity when adverts were postcards in newsagent windows and local papers its probably harder to pass on words to my inexperienced self as the advent of the internet sites and reviews have been a game changer also the profile of providers has changed somewhat
What has changed is that if option 1 or 2 is not available don't just meet someone else just because you have an itch to scratch, also with the way providers dont stick to one location these days pointless planning ahead of time can be a waste of time, my hl on aw is full of maybe that haven't re-appeared

[Stevelondon]

“What do you mean you thought  ‘Stella’  meant the lager as you walked up that Soho staircase”

You could have still turned around and walked out could’nt you.

But no. You just had to didn’t you. Your silly 20 year old head not working after those beers. There’s another thing you idiot. Why the hell think Southern beer wasn’t just as strong as Northern ale just cos it didn’t have a head on it.


Yep. I’d probably say something along those lines. 

[RandomGuy99]

Start sooner

[HS4000Kestral]

Go and live in Thailand!

I would probably give myself the same advice. Is it expensive? Yep and getting more so. Is it addictive? It has been. I’ve more control over it now but the whole thing having lost its appeal long ago, I still can’t quite kick it to the kerb. When I think of all the money over the years and what I could have spent it on, yep I would probably tell my younger self, don’t start the hobby.

This one.....  there were some absolute stunners on my HL that I put off until it was too late.

[standardpostage]

Read & join UK Punting.

[Landscape]

Don't use your personal phone, get a phone purely for punting. That way you don't end up being threatened with doxxing when you leave a negative review.

AW hidden feedback is hidden for a reason; if AW advise you to be cautious then listen. Cost me a fair few quid finding out the hard way.

[scutty brown]

1) Bad first impressions are usually correct.
2) If it looks wrong, it normally is wrong. Walk away.

This is bad advice. Maybe he is loaded, and can afford it ?

Stay single and spend all that money you earned on hookers and booze

Great advice 

[merseyrob]

Never reveal anything about your personal life to a WG.

Don’t give them a clue where you live, if you’re married or have kids. If asked about your job, keep it really vague. Have stock answers ready.

Escorts play by the same rulebook
Even one I have trusted to be honest about her life
I saw her enough times and contradictions started to appear in the tales she told
It really teaches you to take these meetings as an artificial experience not as a genuine encounter between two honest participants
Sadly I was the honest one and now she knows everything about me
So I try to stay in her good books
But I speak for myself

Don't understand the question chum!

[Jujy78]

To my younger self when I was single and punting. Should've done a few overnights. Specially the 2 regulars at the time that offered huge discount and still declined.
 

[Munter84]

Oh yeah, +1 for this. It's much easier to get over a poor or disappointing punt than to try convincing yourself that absolute hottie you didn't see "probably wasn't all that".
In general, if you're lucky enough to stumble onto a good thing, fill your boots. Whether that's a girl you really click with, or one who inexplicably charges well under the going rate, or a stunner. Get stuck in!
Use your voice, ask for what you want, ask to move on from something you're not enjoying. The girl won't read your mind, and if you don't ask you certainly don't get.

[alabama1]

Start punting as early as you can financially afford to

[rpa_guy]

Avoid Soho, especially when it's 2am and you've had too much to drink. It's both better and safer if you plan in advance.

[WelshClipper]

Don’t throw big money at SP’s just because they have gorgeous AW profiles.

The reality rarely compares. 

[Bonker]

Walk away from punts no. 568, 972 and 1432.

Never open up about your real self, who you really are in life.
I made that mistake a couple of times with SP's in the NE and was far too trusting and in many ways, extremely naive (bloody stupid)
I got bitten.

Also foolishly, I did the same on this forum with a prevalent NE poster with whom I had a rather tenuous connection - he was banned for being a real wrong 'un and I had been taken in completely by what turned out to be, a false personality.

[Prifessionallondinguy]

Relax

[Kingfisher69]

When dealing with the paperwork think with your head not with your dick. If she asks for more than advertised say so.

And try a threesome while you're still in your 20's, you'll enjoy that.

[simon07]

Plan in advance. Go for quality and read UKP reviews.

[Hurley]

Just go for it

[Denzelryder1234]

Don't let a couple of bad punts kill your desire, eventually you'll get some good punts in the mix.

[Count Duckula]

trust your gut. if it feels iffy - walk

[I like natural boobs]

Shave nuts. Can't believe I left it so long. It's gone from about 5% of SP's licking my nuts to about 50% since I got rid of the pubes on my nuts.

[simon07]

Be aware that your punt might not happen.
Have a backup, plan B or plan C just in case.

[midspunter]

Find a couple of good regulars rather than playing the field.

[Ghost89]

Save the thousands you’ll  spend and go for a big fucking holiday instead.

[kebab_1414]

give a "to pass" list. that must be at least half the funds saved.

The importance of properly washing afterwards to avoid possibly getting undone

[Fush]

1) Start earlier
2) Do your research carefully. Don't get tunnel vision just because they are relatively close by or look good in the pictures (but without face pic).

[JontyR]

Blimey buddy, if you shout loud enough your inexperienced punter self may still hear you.

[352miftikh03]

Trust UKP reviewsc- don't waste your money on trying new ones. They do not have reviews for a reason.

I have had a bad habit of TOFFTSc- ALL of them failed
When it appears positive here, it always turns out to be a good punt

[Re]

Never ever for any reason ever fall for a SP.

Tbf if everyone thought that,  we'd never hear about new SPs.

TOFTT can sometimes be more exciting, and although they can also be disappointing, at least the TOFTT reviews are of most value  to other members. 

[Munter84]

Absolutely. There's no such thing as a guaranteed good punt, even well-reviewed girls can lose form or simply turn out to not be your type.

Ultimately every punt is a gamble, some with longer odds than others.

I believe your second point is by far the most important thing to remember. By doing my research I think I have only had a handful of real disappointments out of maybe 2000 meetings over the last 12 years.
