What is your risk level for TOFTT, even with no AW reviews?

[Fush]

I was curious at those who TOFTT, what risk is too much?

I know AW reviews don't mean much, but if there are least some reviews, it makes it a little better. However would you risk someone who has no reviews on AW? If so, how much would you willing to spend (obviously only for 30 minutes)?

Would you say there was any red flags in the profile that you should watch for?

It would be probably be too much risk for me at this stage with no AW reviews. I would however (and hopefully intend to), do a TOFTT soon with someone who does have AW reviews.

What I'd say is first and foremost, always have in your head that when you walk through the door, if the vibe or girl isn't good, YOU have the power to just walk.

Unless of course the little man has taken control of you, then you're done for!!

Like most things in life, this is highly subjective and varies from person to person. You'll find punters who are completely risk-averse, and others who thrive on the excitement and anticipation of not knowing what awaits them behind the door. That unpredictability is part of the thrill.

I'm a bit of thrill seeking punter; I like novelty. When I was younger my cock led me to some pretty insalubrious places (and at times, downright dangerous ones.) Although I'm a bit more mellow in my old age.

With time you will find what risk level you are comfortable with.

Appreciate your thoughts guys. Hope it doesn't happen, but I guess with TOFTT you have a greater chance of needing to walk. I can imagine its going to feel really bad though!

For me its probably 40/60 split when I’ve gone for a TOFTT /RB with none or very few UKP reviews
Some have been my best finds but also my biggest negatives

1000% this - absolutely the best advice about the mindset you need to have.

I'd agree broadly with akauya and have probably been the same.  I'd suggest one thing though: the fact risk assessment is usually subjective means that the risk level you're comfortable with, and may categorise as "moderate", will be very different from the next chap's.  Eg, those who enjoy freefall parachuting, cave diving, extreme mountain biking etc don't think they're taking an enormous risk, whereas you or I would probably think they are doing. 

So in the punting context, whereas in past years I've followed newspaper classified ads taking me to dodgy parts of town, into dimly lit estates and run down tower blocks with undesirables hanging around, at the time I didn't feel I was taking an inordinate amount of risk, but now looking back I probably was and wouldn't be comfortable doing it now (although check out my review No.31 on kinkykacey, lol). 

And of course there was no "TOFTT" then, as there was no team, ie, no sites like this to share experiences, so scammers had a relatively easy time and every new punt was a "risk".  Happy times.

I was curious at those who TOFTT, what risk is too much? ... Would you say there was any red flags in the profile that you should watch for?

There's no magic formula here but I'd say ANY punt is a gamble by its very nature. A girl can be well-reviewed but 1) reviews are subjective and 2) the girl's form can be variable over time. I've had great punts with WGs that other people have awarded lukewarm reviews, and vice-versa. Also, AW reviews are of very debateable utility, there's a lot of leverage and "you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" at play.

My personal red flags would include:
- pricing either far too low to be believable, or through the roof for no obvious reason
- dubious pictures: AI, excessively airbrushed, obviously stolen, poor resolution and sporting a hairstyle that was last popular in 2010, American power sockets in the background, that kind of thing
- anything that makes me suspect barebacking or drug use
- incalls to a rough area
- barebones Likes list, or literally everything selected - suggests they have just thrown the profile together with no care for making it reflect what's on offer

Ultimately, treat a TOFTT as a bit of an adventure and at the very least as a chance to give back to the forum, even if the experience is a disaster

Appreciate the extra thoughts everyone. At least one TOFTT is on my list of things to try when I can get round to it
