Anyone else hate Adultwork?

[James77x]

It's an ugly site, feels like its from the early days of the internet. It's hard to navigate. Much prefer using the forums to find what I'm looking for.

Would be interested to hear both punters/escorts opinions on Adultwork.

How would you improve the experience of using it?

[gary03]

Its not perfect but so much better than anything else out there
Afraid im a fan of site

Are you starting a new rival to AW and doing market research?   

[BillGoldberg]

Yeah I hate it
Far prefer agencies, far more reliable and absolutely more professional in terms of communication with potential clients.

I much prefer viva street!   

[Greenchilli]

In absence of other equally viable alternatives I have to say - AW rules.

[Horny69er]

The problem with AW now, is that it is Full of Cam girls, that have 'escort' ticket.. large agencies have dozens and dozens of girls.. none of them escort.. just cam.. they don't
even have any rates shown, of if they do, its like 2k overnight.

AW lets them get away with it.. its essentially corruption of their database.. makes it impossible to find someone, without trawling through hundreds of these crappy profiles.

Years ago, it had none of this.. and was easily the best site on the net.

[LanceVance]

I don't mind it, it serves its purpose of storing WGs in one place.

[Chorley]

For all its faults it's head and shoulders above Vivastreet.  

[arrow0404]

I prefer the mobile version of AW find it more user friendly the main site.

VS I find a lot more fakes and the ability not being able to leave reviews or 'hotlist' is a major flaw

All in all AW works great for me

[berksboy]

Sad to say but its by far the best out there .

[horneyboy]

I prefer adultwork.com you can monitor a good female for a decent punt and read girls reviews and prefer the booking system I wont spend money on cam girls or roms I don't mind spending 80 quid on a decent girl for 30 minutes gfe I met a brilliant girl in Dundee incall via adultwork.com best I have ever had the other sites for me fly by night

External Link/Members Only

It might not be lovable but technically it's fairly advanced. Why not read the guide, review some of your punts upon which you have based your knowledge or opinions and then, not forgetting checking what THIS site is about, refine your questions.

hint: This is a punters site

[pamplona]

It's not great and most of the reviews can't be relied on, but I can't think of an alternative.

[mrdiamond77]

There are no real quality alternatives, even if it's not perfect.

[Acerimmer]

I quite like it actually. I remember when there was only about 7 or 8 pages of woman and not a Romanian anywhere to be seen. Those days are long gone, and what with scammers and dodgy EE girls there’s a lot of sifting to be done but you still finds gems on there.

[nigel4498]

It's a damn sight better than cards in phone boxes

[Sureshot]

I cant fault it.  Find a profile, ring a number, fuck a whore

Never had an issue caused by the site, only by girls who would pull the same shit wherever they advertise.

[Avg_Joe]

I much prefer viva street!   

that's funny, cause i find vivastreet's search engine fucking bollox, always returning useless results

[Sparta Prada]

I like AW for the following reasons:

1) There’s no real alternative site that can display girls profiles as well as AW.
2) Doesn’t cost me a thing as I don’t pay for PGs and movie clips.
3) I look for girls over a wide area nationally depending on where my job takes me, so AW has been a godsend when I am in an unfamiliar place wanting company.
4) AW was one of the first sites that got girls to post up verified photos of themselves, their pricing and available services. Forget that all of this has been abused by some dodgy advertisers, it is still an indicator of what’s available from true WGs.
5) Being able to conduct comms with some semblance of an idea of who they are. Think about the pre-internet days scouring classifieds, contact mags, cards in the newsagent windows, phone boxes etc. Do you really want to go back to those days?
6) And despite all of its so-called failings, there is still no other site that can compete with AW for UK girls.

[Plan R]

Not sure if you mean the site or the front end

Yes the front end is a bit clunky and the search facility has some strange idiosyncrasies..
But so what - it's a database of juicy rat that you can stick your dick in for money !!
 

[Ridiculousiknow]

My main gripe with AW is that some girls know how to manipulate it. For example if she switches off the AW booking system and does everything directly by phone, then you can't leave a review. Quite often the reviews that are left are misleadingly nice because the punter wants to get a good rating back from the girl. Which is why you should take all AW ratings with a shovel of salt and check for reviews on this site - unfortunately I learned that the hard way.

[shagmore]

Yes its shite, but its much better than anything else out there.

[munterhunter]

I am Not a great fan but I use it because there is nothing to challenge it and I find that if I use it in conjunction with other avenues of research such as UK Punting and use a little common sense when seeing someone for the first time generally it works for me.

? The forums you refer to do not include contact details.... all they do is link to their profile which in vast majority of cases are on Adultwork. If AW disappeared it would be a bleeding nightmare and a free for all and a free pass for some right shitbags to reappear and resume ripping off punters.

[sublimetoridiculous]

.... feels like its from the early days of the internet.

It is from the early days of the internet.

I can't remember the date when it first appeared, but I can remember when there were only 3 or 4 pages of WGs for the whole of the UK. But compared to the competition it was revolutionary, for the first time you could get a pretty good idea of what you were going to get for your money.

[Stiltskin]

Any similar sized business with that much revenue would have released a new version of their website by now. Instead they just keep adding bits and it just gets more and more cluttered. That's a result of having virtually no competition I suppose.

On the plus side, the site is so full of holes it allows you to run the AW improvements scripts. I remember a time when you could see how many unread emails a profile had in the inbox. Useful for spotting PG scams.

My tip for using AW, use CTRL+click on the search results page to open multiple profiles in separate tabs. This saves so much time versus viewing one profile, clicking the back link, viewing another, clicking the back link...

[Robinh191]

I think the Search facility is good but the reviews wholly unreliable.

[jeanphillipe]

I started punting earlier this year, my first punt was off vivastreet. Like you i hated the looks of adultwork the layout and everything is overly complicated. But you get used to it, and some of the features are fantastic eg hot list/shitlist

Main reason i liked viva over AW is because its pictures in large font first then details after you click on it. Although as someone mentioned the mobile version aw is better for this.

The one thing Aw used to piss me off is you cant save pics or videos e.g when you pay for private gallery. For your own use once you pay for it it should be yours. But luckily i found a work around for this.

+1 Or trying to drum up a bit of publicity.

Is this some form of marketing by AW, come on guy get real. No reviews, 1 st post asking how to improve experience. We weren't born yesterday

[Taggart]

It's shite but it is the best we've got, but with thought and input from punters, it could be a far better site in so many ways.

I'd like to see better safeguards to prevent creation of fake or multiple profiles; the option to multi-select likes/dislikes; minimum size for photos, no postage stamps; an automatic downgrading or warning for WGs who register as escorts but have no feedback after 6-12 months and are there for camming primarily. The site would be so much better and could attract more punters if the owners dealt with the shit aspects, and also redesigned it.

It's got its good sides as I've read many an FR, been tempted then looked at the profile and photos and thought 'not on your fecking life', so it has saved me money.

Far better too than trawling through loads of agency sites with fuzzy pictures and fake feedback created by the agency owner and chums.
