It just gets worse.....

[Diehard]

anyone else finding the whole escort scene gets worse by the week. Even hookers with good reviews on here are unreliable.

I know hookers are not that bright, you only have to look at the drivel the hookers who roam on here post, but surely you would think the first rule of business is to come across as reliable and respond to enquiries and bookings.

I keep reading on profiles escorts be,leaning punters who book and don't show up, seems to me what goes around comes around.

I am done with punting, absolute waste of time and effort. The best days I had were around 2006, aw was great back then. And there were good agencies around as well. Now aw is shit, and not one good parlour. Perhaps the economic downturn killed the game?

[galcom666]

We have identical complaints in an overseas forum.

What is bugging me is the way it is nearly impossible to make contact. Profiles with no numbers?

So you send them an email gets read and ignored then blocked.

Profiles with numbers?

Phone doesn't pick up. Phone more than once get blocked.

SMS ignored and or blocked.

I used to think my 1/15 hit rate was bad, but the past few days it is closer to 1/25 bothering to respond.

This is the major reason that I rarely punt, Adultwork has become totally useless, it was never great but it has reached an all time low. 

[Gene Hunt]

I started in 2006 and my main gripe now is the amount of face blurring.

AW has actually been my saviour this time and could have found myself a regular

With the greatest respect, you would shag anything with a pulse.   

[Taggart]

I agree that it has been degenerating for some time.

I think the reasons are
•  that there are too many Romanians/EE girls who dont/wont give VFM
• too many fat frumpy bitches who think they are doing you a favour
• insufficient younger ladies
• ladies with an overinflated view of themselves and priced at the top end, partic with low feedback
• poor standards of control and compliance on AW
• ladies with poor or non-existent communications skills, despite English being their first language.
• awful photos that simply do not inspire confidence
• serial liars and scammers
• bunny boilers who want to out clients

Takes up a lot of my time sifting through the rubbish profiles to find what may be a quality punt.

Other than that, it can be fun.

Couldn't agree more. Wasted another half an hour yesterday looking in vain for an half decent local indie within my preferred age range. At least half of the South Yorks prossies advertising on AW are working for parlours such as GFE, which now totally dominates Sheffield, or agencies.

[regenmeister]

Weird thing is that the WGs on Saafe are moaning that its super quiet at the moment and they aren't getting any bookings.
Maybe if they provided reliable comms/service then we would be happy and they would be happy.

Pretty certain I wouldn't want to see anyone who is a member of SAAFE.

And if it's quiet maybe some of them need to drop their prices and join the real world?

+1 Its like any other business, if you ask more than the market will bear you lose sales.

Maybe they should try a wowcher special offer 

[galcom666]

Blacklists work both ways of course. I must have about 200 on mine already.

New to punting after nearly 20 years or so - to me the punting scene looks pretty amazing compared to picking a random name out of the back of the classifieds ads in the local paper. You lot don't know when you've got it good!

Thanks to the combination of AW to collect most of the WG's and make them easily searchable, and this site to validate the reliable / consistent ones, I'm spoiled for choice frankly.

Two comments -

1) I suppose it's partly a regional thing - I'm in SE near London so obviously more WG's per capita here than elsewhere.  More punters to pick from, better transportation, and the market here bears higher prices so good WG's will migrate here. 

2) Re prices - be prepared to pay for the good ones. The unreliable/shit ones generally seem to be advertising at the skank end of the price range. Not to say you can't get good quality service at a good price but it's harder to find.  Like in any business it's supply and demand and quality girls with a good reputation will keep busy enough just through existing regulars / repeat business / referrals through sites like this - so no need to reduce prices to attract new occasional business.

[regenmeister]

If they haven't become business savvy by now I'm not holding out on it happening anytime in the immediate future.

Is it possible to do searches which exclude all pro$$ies with zero feedback? If it is, I can't find it 

[j122]

Do results in order of rating, then all the zeros will be at the end

[cockneybstrd]

Not that I can find but you can order results by Rating which means the zero feedback ones are at the end of you search results

Hi chaps, just a thought, so don't bite me please.....has anyone thought to ( or actually) contacted a WG to say look on UKP and see what the punters, due to your crap service are saying about you?

Does that defeat the object or enhance UKP and our chats and sharing of info ?

I'm sure some probably look here anyway, what % do you reckon. Either way, do you think they give a toss? There's  always someone who'll let their dick rule their head and take the crap and chase etc.

Yes it happens, hence why lots of the ladies come on UKP and immediately go into defence mode by attacking the posters and swearing/ranting and then get banned. So generally, 99% of the time, nothing is learned, she continues on her own way believing she is right and the nasty men are wrong.

Just my obs

There are plenty of snidey sidney's and snakes who love to white knight

Who regularly email there chosen lovely to say look what those thugs are saying about you on UK Punting.

Normally this results in some kind of pro$$ie meltdown and the white knighter hoping he looks good in the pro$$ie's eyes in the hopes of getting a freebie or a discount or something

I suspect the better quality WG's are already well aware of UKP - if you google "punting forum" UKP is the first thing that comes back so hard to miss really.  The smart ones have done their homework by monitoring other girls reviews and / or their own and learned from them - which is part of why they are popular I suspect.
The ones who either don't know or don't care wouldn't learn anything anyway. It does seem that many arrive on here when a negative comment has been pointed out to them and they don't take it very well so can't say I would bother.
I prefer punting with the smart ones who have already learned the important lessons rather than trying to educate those who can't be bothered to help themselves.

[Steely Dan]

Don't agree with OP.  Not getting worse.  It has been like this for some time - always been bad punts, hard to communicate with escorts, poor pricing, shithead pimps and so on.  It is human nature to think that partially crappy things (schools, hospitals, politicians, bankers, roads - pick almost anything) are getting worse. Yes there are poor parts of the current punting scene.  But worse?  Not really.  Also the addition of extra escorts can't logically make it worse.  It adds choice.  At worst, you ignore them.  Objectively I think it is better - same medium service, but prices holding.  Less pints of beer per punt than ever.

As long as Westminster doesn't screw it up with some last minute, poorly thought through law at some point....

[stayer]

I don't think it's getting worse, but it is harder to find good WGs. Why? because for several years there has been a flood of women becoming WGs, mainly from Europe. This is good for punters as it helps to keep downward pressure on prices and gives us more choice.

So, separating the wheat from the chaff takes more time. However, websites like this help a lot.

Well you have not been very lucky so far, out of your six reviews only 2 are positive.

IMO A/W has certainly got worse this year but there have always been liars and low lifes advertising on their. And there are still gems to be found as i have found.

Use this site to locate rated WGs by punters you find credible is my advice to punters. I punt in London so have plenty of choice fortunately. Punted with some excellent WGs in the last few months, also met and dealt with some liars and low lifes, thats mainly because i am prepared to take a risk on ocassion in the hope of finding a gem.

Happy punting retirement, not something i can see myself ever doing.

Begs the question 'how do you know' and would care to share your experience(s) of this?

I am with Barney on this......I have not, but i can see some benefit in giving the WG's some feedback......if they understand enhanced performance would boost their turnover then that could be be a win win

It isn't out of choice I'm retiring, I'm forced into it as finding a decent hooker is almost impossible. When I read comments like the hooker catbbw above you can see what the problem is. As a hooker she should be accepting how too many in her line of work are low life scum out to scam hard working punters but instead claims hookers come here to be defensive and seemed to subtly imply that because they were then banned they couldn't get the opportunity to see where they are going wrong.

These hookers just don't get it. If you read SAAFE it is obvious how absolutely thick and clueless these women really are.

All we ask as punters is for a response to any enquiries and for agreed booking requests to be kept to. This seems to be like the magna Carter  though for your average hooker.

I'd rather pay a monthly subscription to a site where the hookers had to subscribe that way at least it may filter out the time wasters.

As for pointing this site out to hookers, I did that to caprice Jane saying I was a bit concerned she had questionable feedback here. Her reply was that nobody could afford her so just defamed her here!! Needless to say she didn't get my business!!!

Nope my only experience is having taking the piss out of pro$$ie for her 'bingo wings' having her and her boyfriend come on here and send me threats via pm.

I am not the member who has been repeatedly banned and went crying to Admin to get reinstated. Or was that a different Aspley

[stayer]

Doesn't this website help you find a few decent ones?

Jimmy - prior to finding UKP, my positive to total ratio was worse...

Not really, some of the gents on here are very easily pleased.

I have met one decent girl from here, Michelle Independent.

It certainly can and does as proved by the reviews, certainly in London anyway.

+1 = London has its high and lows but in greater numbers - By using UKP you can minimise the shit WG on AW but not totally eliminate them

I did NOT say nor mean nor imply that! When ladies are contacted by a member from here, 99% of the time the ladies come on with all guns blazing in mega defence mode, attacking everyone. My post was NOT in support of the ladies who come here just to attack and not learn anything. I said exactly the same as CockneyBastard and Quesadilla in the posts below mine,  and how you read anything else into mine baffles me....?

The ladies have ample opportunities to see where they are going wrong, but many don't learn.

Precisely! So you agree with me!

[CBPaul]

AW has got worse over the last couple of years BUT it is not impossible to find a decent prossie and I punt in Cambridgeshire where we don't have the number of prossies that London and other cities have.

In the years I've been using AW there has always been scammers of one kind or another though. The number of scammers has increased over the last couple of years so now a search for what I want gives 3 full pages, 2 of which are full of scammers and redundant profiles. Out of what's left I've always been able to find at least 3 or 4 profiles that interest me and I get a response from. I've never gone on and not found a punt.

Just takes more sifting through the dross and more speculative emails go unread. Hasn't made me think of quitting punting for a single second though.   

[Sedlmayer]

There's no doubt that AW is somewhere between rubbish and appalling.

Size 16 girls who want to charge £150/hr without any specialised services, don't display a phone number and only work two days a month anyway.......

I am now in the situation where I have a harem of around 5 girls who I see quite regularly - one of whom I can very often see at fairly short notice, if it comes to that.
I would like to play the field more often, and I do try, but often (make that very often) without success. This morning I tried three girls who weren't answering their phones (I don't even bother if there's no phone number  ) and in the end I booked one of my regulars for tomorrow  .
I mean that's not the end of the world by a long way, but I would like to vary things up a bit more 

And I don't think I'm unreasonably fussy either - age is virtually irrelevant to me, I don't have just one favourite body shape (anything from slim to curvy/buxom is OK by me), ethnicity isn't a huge deal (some of my favourites are Polish or Hungarian) and I don't have unusual requirements or fetishes.......     I just want a reasonably presentable girl, size 8 - 14, good attitude and services (GFE type) priced realistically, who answers the bloody phone 

BTW, people who nag punters to do more reviews, please consider - some punters might well want to do more, but can't
