Can you search for the girls with the most positive recent feedback?

[NotThe]

Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I can't seem to find it.

Is there any way to search the forum by positive feedback?
Eg to find the escorts with the most positive feedback in London over the last 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, etc?

[scutty brown]

no

You can get part way there.

Advanced search gives you the option to search by region and by time period and sort results by most recent but it doesn't sort by name or give a summary.

You still have to scan the results manually

If it could search by section= reviews, rating = positive, region, time period, you get closer

Is it necessarily going to find you the ‘best’ escort though? Taking aside the YMMV aspect, you’re still going on number of positives as opposed to ‘percentage’ positives.

Ie, a wg with 15 positives out of 30 reviews (so also 15 neutral/negative) maybe not as appealing as someone with 10 positives out of 10 reviews.

Also age of reviews should be factored in. If all positives from years ago, but since then neutrals or negatives could mean the wg isn’t offering the same level of service as when first started.

Rather than seeking out those with the most positives best way to approach is to just look out for girls you’re interested in booking then searching for their reviews on here, then looking out for ones with lots of positives

Reviews are subjective, therefore this would be futile to some degree. Too many variables for it to even be considered relevant.

As said above, search based on your desired activities and take it from there.

Of course reviews are subjective and of course it would be a crude way of narrowing down potential candidates. But it would be a starting point...

It has been discussed before but the one question gets asked is, if there is an escort with 100's of positive reviews that would put her at the top of the list but she was the polar opposite of the sort of escort you go for so you would never book, what good is that to you.   

[NotThe]

My answer to that is:

If the website allowed me to find the escorts with the most positive reviews in my area over a certain time frame, that would give me a good list of candidates from which to narrow down a shortlist.

Of course not all the girls in the long lost will be my cup of tea, but starting the narrowing down process from there, rather than semi randomly, is likely to be more productive and to yield better results.

Have I got this right? you want to be able to search for escorts you have no interest in booking rather that the normal of find the escort you fancy first then search for reviews?

Seems very straight forward to me, look at what's available on your chosen agency then look for reviews or if using AW search by location and whatever preferences you have then search for reviews using the number. That way you're only looking at escorts you want to book.

In any case it isn't something that can be done and as far as I can tell it would not be of benefit to go to the trouble of formatting the site so it could be.

[NotThe]

I understand it cannot be done easily, I expected it to be honest.

But I am not sure why you seem so surprised.

If I search AW there can literally be dozens of girls I might want to see, even after screening their profiles by price services etc to filter out those who aren't my cup of tea.

My guess is that it would be harder and would take much longer to find 3-4 with good reviews and who meet my standards from these dozens, than from a list of, say, the top 20 best reviewed girls of the last year.

I appreciate this might not work for everyone. Anyway, not trying to convince anyone of anything, you asked why I wanted to do it and I answered.

I appreciate it's all a moot point anyway if technically it cannot be done

[scutty brown]

I suppose the fact that the downloadable AW Improvements Tampermonkey script can access rankings and numbers of indexed reviews on UKP implies that it would in theory be possible to run a batch file which would extract that ranking data, correlate it and match it against the profile and geographic location shown by AW. All that is currently done page-by-page one profile at a time by the script when you view an AW page (with AW Improvements installed).
However that would only work for indexed reviews: i.e. Adultwork ones only.
And on top of that I can't see the admin teams either of this site or AW being too keen on allowing scripts running and scraping data from the whole of either website. It would mean handing the site data over to third parties with no control over it.

[NotThe]

Of course. To be clear, it never occurred to me to ask for any kind of access to the backend of the site!!!

I simply wanted to know if there was an existing functionality to search, or if this kind of stats is something the admins ever look at.

The answer to both is no.

You know, like the occasional threads on the best punts of the year, I would find it interesting to see threads on the best reviewed girls.

Bear in mind there's 12 different regions so there would have to be 12 different lists. I'm not that far from Scotland but I've got zero interest in how many reviews any Scottish escort has as I don't punt there. I'd be even less interested in the SW.

Volunteer punters made these lists for about 6 regions.  They got bored it seems and stopped.  If you want, you can update the list for your region, it seems like you are volunteering.  one or two hours a week and done.  Here is the one I updated for a while.  If you look on the wiki, you can see the others.  All out of date sadly.

I don't have the time to do it manually.

Plus I wouldn't want to do manually something which the admins, with access to the underlying database, could put together in a few minutes at most.

To be clear : I am not asking for backend access myself.
And it is entirely clear to me that both the admins and many punters disagree with me and don't see the value in this. Fine. Such is life.

I am simply saying that, even if I had the time (I don't), I wouldn't want to spend it doing manually something which can be automated.

You are presuming that it would be an easy thing to do, OldAdmin spent years trying to find a way of collating VivaStreet reviews, he couldn't. Only AW reviews are capable of being indexed so even if 12 separate list were created, as a constant number is used for the profiles, they would only include those escorts on AW, VivaStreet, GumTree, own websites, agencies or any other advertising platform would miss out. 

[NotThe]

I should have been clearer :
Doing it on the AW profiles only, which are already indexed, should be fairly straightforward because the information is already there, so it would be about querying the database to find existing information.

I was talking about doing it on the AW profiles only.
Yes, I remember there were many discussions on indexing profiles from other sites, and it's not straightforward at all

[NotThe]

PS re reading it I get the impression I may come across as somewhat aggressive - which of course was never my intention. If that was the perception, I apologise

I asked a simple question, the answer is no, that's the end of it

Thanks!

I had a look at the old list and I counted 20 escorts I had seen. Happy days.
