Is it just me...

[stevedave]

Or is the choice in Leeds and the surrounding area fairly dire at the moment?

Yes, there are trusted lasses like AV, starnat, Midori, Kendall etc. but I rarely visit a lass more than once nowadays, I like the variety. But there is barely nobody that has piqued my interest for weeks now. The only one that did was Barbie91x in Guiseley and I saw her.

I'm not going to pay £100 for half an hour, or £150+ an hour on someone with barely any feedback, let alone no UKP intel.

Oh well, at least I'm saving some cash I guess 

[TheMurloc]

Same in Sheffield atm there are a few girls they're just hard to get hold of.

[Jindybandy]

There does seem to be less ‘variety’ recently and as you say anyone new who may look interesting is coming in starting at ridiculous prices.

Maybe we should start petitioning for more girls to come touring Leeds way

Tourers are always welcome, but more often than not they are priced stupidly as well.

[Jindybandy]

Tourers are always welcome, but more often than not they are priced stupidly as well.

I guess, but generally they’ll also come with enough feedback on here to make an informed decision about whether to book.

[jandyr]

Try having York as your closest options 

[holeymoley]

Try having York as your closest options 

Or Huddersfield...............

[TheMurloc]

York and Huddersfield aren’t in the same size category as Leeds and Sheffield but yeah hailing from Norwich I share the pain you small town boys have.

If I look at girls the wrong side of the Pennines the choice is immense dwarfing our Yorkshire options. Maybe there’s simply more punters with more punting bucks there.

[HudzLad]

Totally agree with the op. There seemed to be a good variety of lasses at around the £70/30min mark with plenty of reviews. Too many newbies are charging £90-100 for half an hour pricing them out of the market.

This.

But if people pay it, and some must, then they'll continue to charge it 

[Charles Glass]

At the moment I feel like a kid in a sweet shop. So many I have seen, a lot more than I have reviewed (yet). So many to still see and some great ones I keep going back to see over and over. I have quite a few amazing girls I keep going back to who are exceptional. Yet so many new ones I look forward to meeting. I probably feel like the SD of years ago.

Some of your reviews have always guided me in the right direction. You and Cueball are the best . . .

I have only seen 2 girls who charge 150 a hour which is my upper limit for a hour. I was ripped off by one (did the review) I was new and stupid. The other lady I think she is worth it maybe like Sweet Candie was. I would never go beyond 150.

Maybe we should move to Manchester.

[Mountain Goat]

Totally agree with SD. I have hardly punted at all in last 6 months (hence lack of reviews). I am limited by time and don't really have the opportunity to punt much further afield. Leeds is just uninspiring for atm.
I don't mind paying a bit more for a well reviewed girl but am not going to fork out top money for a newbie.
Was in comms with External Link/Members Only this week but couldn't make it work as she only does daytime meets and can't start until after 11am.
The good news is I am saving a fortune!

[anonyorks]

I've decided to stop paying £90-£100 per half hour as it just seems to be the norm nowadays with no justification whatsoever. Not seen anyone for a couple of months now and not been tempted to either. Maybe I'm getting too old for this game 

[cueball]

It's not just on the wrong side of the penines trev, nothing much catching my eye on this side neither.

Having said that, i think we've been through most of the lasses 

[HarryZZ]

Based in the northern side of York I often get through to Leeds or Harrogate for a bit more variety as it's slim pickings locally but getting round York is a real pain, despite the given distance on AW, I can get as far as Middlesborough in the same time as Harrogate, as a bonus it's usually a fair bit cheaper, particularly compared to Harrogate.

[mrfishyfoo]

I've thought long and hard about this as there is new pussy to fuck BUT the lack of sensibly priced, reviewed, pussy does I agree make it dire.

I for one am no longer willing to risk £140+ on an unreviewed lass that's new to me when I can see a nailed on certainty for the same money.

MrCB also has a point as those of us that have been around for a while have, between us, fucked the gooduns, some ugly ones and some outright shockers already.

[Yoda71]

It's been a while since I reviewed, and it's for this reason - I just cannot seem to find anyone new that I want to punt

I went through a stage of punting very regularly and then reviewing, but I don't seem to be able to find any that float my boat

I am unsure of whether it's me being ultra careful, more choosy than I was, or whether it's the start of a punting recession for me as the punting prices seem to have increased since I first started about 18 months ago

I am going for more massage with HE as a first choice as well - perhaps it's a change in my likes that have affected the choice as well

Y

[BLINDBOB25]

I haven't punted much for a while now and the couple I have are reviewed by me and others, I am so on the look out for new blood but it just doesn't seem to be coming. Could it be because of sugar daddy sites are all the new cream going straight on there and getting stupid money

[usroads]

Yeah piss take pricing and has anyone noticed new SP's aint listing CIM?

[massivejohnson]

There is sometimes a trend. Anyone who is young and fit will be in the £130+ category, as they get older, bigger or less attractive they become cheaper. As an older punter I rarely go younger than 30 - I also ask 30-40 year olds if they are ok with an older punter.

I have AW searches set up to trawl for my target age, less than a size 14, and less than £80/£120, and then do some research. Sometimes I am surprised by the results. There are some who 'appear' good but meets are average, but every so often a gem pops out, maybe not a stunner but a really good shag.

All I'm looking for is a slimmish lass who does the basic services (DFK/OWO/RO/FS) and is enthusiastic about it...and doesn't charge the earth. Any suggestions let me know

Mr J - I have had a couple of meets with this one -

External Link/Members Only or External Link/Members Only

Slim ( issh, but certainly not fat at all ) - great attitude, good FK ( getting towards DFK ), even better OWO and her rates are quality ( £80 for the hour ) obviously YMMV but I've had two very good visits with her so far, and plan to return

Thanks Mr Y, just been reading through the various reviews, incl yours. I too have avoided Roms upto now, maybe it's time to try....at least I would tick another country off the list!!

Feeling much the same myself, hence my lack of input here recently. Rachel from Playmates was dirty as hell so the bar has to be quite high and as she's quit (for now?) that's not happening. Nat is awkward location, Honey is a real trek, bit of a ballache for AV too if you want to call on the day and just way too much to blow on the 1/10 chance they are good.

[p3ngu1n]

This thread pretty much sums up my punting mood at the moment 

Massive piss-takery on prices by newbies with zero reputation (£140+ )! Add the stupid rates from these touring lasses (£160+) means I'm just punting less

[doncasterduncan]

Agreed...… I struggle to justify paying more than 60 / 100..... it just pains me ….. there are some gems out there at that money.

However I seem to have made quite a few shit choices recently. But I'm even more disappointed when I pay more and still get a crap punt. 

[stevedave]

This. All of this.

Im finding the less i punt the less i want to.

[massivejohnson]

But don't you sometimes find when you do punt again, and it turns out well, you start to want more....

[mrfishyfoo]

Well I stepped up to the plate earlier this week, got my £140ph out of my pocket, and TOFM as you do.

FFS red card to follow. 

[adamza]

Couple of months after this thread was started...and imo the situation has not improved...

Where the fuck are all the decent WGs??

All I'm seeing are bullshit rom and Brazilian profiles.

Anyone who looks half decent is extortionately priced. Hardly any wgs with decent services on offer.

Even some of the agencies that I've found reliable seem to have lost a lot of their best girls and replaced them with shite... (negative reviews incoming)

I go in and out of punting...at the moment I have the time and means to partake...but can never find a girl worth the effort  maybe it's for the best and it's a sign to pack it in for good...

[FLYING BLUE]

This.

But if people pay it, and some must, then they'll continue to charge it 

Completely agree

[Ali Katt]

The problem I have is girls fucking off before I get the chance. Two girls gone since Christmas and a few more not logged in since.

[Moby Dick]

Pussy inflation is rife.
Too many fluffy cunts blowing smoke up WG arses on here and AW, and other sites, just driving prices up for busier well reviewed WG.
Newbies or their pimps then come along, check prices, and think “I am younger fresh meat, so can charge more” , very often for doing less and don’t even consider the service and reliability side of it.
The established WG then thinks WTF is that piece of shite charging that and then increases her prices, and the fluffy cunts continue to say “she’s  well worth it”, and so it continues.
Wanking is the only solution to this madness.

I agree with all that. I don’t like your new picture though mate I can’t spot you as easy, you was one of the first guys I got in a tangle with 
I often spot a known user by their picture, strange when it changes.

I will get used to it

Yep to pretty much all of that. Silly bastards think they'll get special treatment or something if they are all fluffy, whereas in actual fact they just get the same as everyone else

Unfortunately my Avatar is from my “to do but too much” list

Tangle....me   
When I ain’t wanking I don’t mind showing newbies the ropes (the rules), calling out the pimps, leeches and fluffy cunts.
We all have to do our bit otherwise prices will spiral out of control.

It's a "battle" we can't win MrMD as the fluffies out number and out spend us "sensible" types.

Won't stop me from "fighting" the "war" against pussy inflation.

Another perspective is that if the amount of punters is dwindling and there is a culture of seeing once and moving onto the next big thing, there is not much incentive for escorts to think about the long game and keep prices reasonable as they have no guarantee of attracting repeat customers. Most men out there don't exactly think straight when they find someone new and exciting, and I think some escorts mentality is "well if I'm only going to get their custom once, then I might as well maximise that opportunity" because they recognise that success in this industry can be very short lived unless you move around. And they don't have the foresight to realise that in this economic climate, a lot of it is about retention in the long term.

The pool of genuine regularly active punters in West Yorkshire actually isn't that big, especially ones that use adult work. You see all the same user names popping up on feedback.

[Charles Glass]

A lot of guys don’t use AW. Most punters don’t log into AW from what I know. All I need is a phone number.

The ladies who don’t display a phone number lose so many punters.

A lady I know gets 20% of her bookings via AW. The rest is all just text.

She is booked up all the time everyday.

[amazing_victoria_no1]

I wouldn't totally agree with that Mr CG. Some escorts like myself, don't display their numbers for wide variety of reasons. It's not aways all about getting every hour filled or filled every hour haha

Interesting to hear the view from the other side.
Sounds like a Catch 22 situation in that if those  WGs who have increased their rates,  because most punters are one off bookings, had lower rates then maybe some of those one off punters would become regulars & their income would increase

My logic is that I have kept my rates more or less the same. I have increased by £10 in 3 years, but that's reflective of my costs going up. Maybe it's a false economy because I'm very much a part timer but my prices seem to work for me, but I'm not at the price point that people are complaining about.

A tenner increase in 3 years is reasonable, do you think if this was your full time gig you'd have increased your rates further?

[Midori]

A tenner increase in 3 years is reasonable, do you think if this was your full time gig you'd have increased your rates further?

It would depend on my circumstances and what profit margin there was. If I was to work full time I wouldn't work from my home and to rent a full-time work apartment in a desirable area in Leeds is very pricey. And area does matter in Leeds re: your walk in clientele. For example I found that when I pay out for city centre or decent hotels on a decent transport route, I get more enquiries from new clients than I did in Ls9 for example. If I was shelling out £750 a month for a work apartment then yeah, maybe I would charge more because I think I would have to, because I don't think Leeds has the same amount of clients to sustain you as say, London.

But if you charge over a certain amount expectations are a bit higher as well I think. I market myself as being a very natural girl next door type, I don't do cosmetic surgery like fillers, I don't have hair extensions, I don't have fake nails....I wear nice underwear and I love my quirky brand shoes but I don't go over the top. When you get to a certain price point clients start to expect things like Laboutins and a certain amount of grooming, whether they know its artifical or not. Like designer shoes can set you back £500 odd, hair extensions are like £300-£450 each time you replace them, plus you probably need a professional blow dry at least once a week to keep them looking as you first got them at £18 a blow dry. Russian fake lashes are £45-£60 a set with infills at £32 every 2-3 weeks. Pedicure can easily set you back £40, shellac nails are £20-30 depending on where you go. Lip fillers are about £180 a time I think my friend said and last a couple of months. And that's not taking into consideration the cost of things like higher end lingerie etc.

Like I'm not justifying women charging high prices, but these are probably things that we do in order to seem more attractive than others and it all adds up! I'd rather charge less and trade in on the assets I have naturally while I still can and not deal with all the hassle. Like it's okay if you are the type of person who would want all that preening anyway and escorting helps pay for that but it's not top of my list if im honest.

You missed out the quarterly holidays to Barbados, Bali, Dubai and Mauritius to top up the tan

I'm clearly doing it wrong cause I haven't had a proper holiday in 2 years 

[Bustydusty]

Yes a lot of punters would be concerned if u didn’t wear designer shoes at £500..

Sorry I meant to say - bollocks

[Ali Katt]

The biggest problem for me is down to girls who offer the services I want. As mentioned it can even be difficult to find girls kiss, let alone be spanked and man handled.

  hence why I don't bother. Though I have a particular style and clients do actually request certain specific things quite often.
