Author Topic: What search parameters on AdultWork do you use?  (Read 4827 times)

Offline Urban_G

I'm not asking about anyone's particular sexual preferences, but more about things like profiles with pictures, authenticity, how do you order the results, proximity etc.

The reason I ask is to get a few ideas of how I can vary my searches.

I tend to go for searches that include 'Available Today' and ordered with a proximity of x miles from a local postcode. I do tick the 'Dislike - Bareback' box in the preferences section, helps to weed out the scumbags. I generally use less search parameters so that it gives me more options, but sometimes I feel this is a bit long winded.

I also save similar searches for other cities that I'm willing to travel to, but the searches often overlap so wondering if it's best to do 1 search that covers them all?

I've found that "Available Today" is not always a clear indicator, eg. Some girls who are quite popular seem to be able to get away with not having it on, despite they may still be 'available today'  -  you tend to get an idea over time if this is the case.
For me proximity to the area i am looking at punting is probably my main criteria, that and the type of girl I'm looking for, age, size , romanian or not (  ;)  !!!) etc.

Nowadays, tend to use my hotlist  - as built up from here or other places over time.

Order by registered date - To catch the fresh talent

Logged in since last week - If they haven't been on this week wont rely on them being on next

Located within 66 miles of me - Most will travel that far for a 2 hour

Finally have an eye colour, lazy people cannot even be bothered filling in this tiny detail, you will notice all the good Romanians have eye clour all the bad reviewed ones tend not to.

I try not to limit my searches too much cause there's a surprising amount of profiles I seem to miss, I don't know why but sometimes I only find profiles when a AW link I click on here isn't available anymore but they show me alternative local profiles.
 
If I've got time I just look through any local-ish profiles to see who's about and who looks worth a try.

I do the searches when I DON'T want to punt so that everything is already there in the Hotlist when I DO.

I don't have a hotlist ----------------- far too much crap on Adultwork.     :bomb:

Female - Escort - Anal (like) - Anal at discretion (dislike)* - 9 mile radius of whatever postcode tickles my fancy

* - Sometimes I don't tick that, and just go with Anal (like)

First, Urban_G thank you for posting this essential post topic.  It seems to me that in addition to reviews as the life blood of UKP, technique in using the Adultwork search facility is also core in encouraging TOFTT a reviews. 

I have yet to define a general search of profiles not on my hotlist that I am satisfied with. My crude proximity search is very labour intensive and time consuming even with filters for age (18-25) last active (one week) location (2 miles from my postcode) preference (CIM at discretion) and dress size (6 - 8) selected. Bayes  Theorum anyone?

By trial and error I now use two saved searches.    "Available hotlist" filters for female escorts 18-25 years who are are currently available ordered by proximity. "Active hotlist" sells currently available for activity highlighted as one week.  After reading on here I learned plenty of girls do not use the availability green light. 

I will follow other replies with interest.

I live in Fife, I search for anything within a 30 mile radius and see what doesn't belong in a zoo.

It depends a lot on your area. In London you might want to add a lot of filters to whittle it down. Experiment, see what filters out the stuff clogging your search results. Use different tabs. Save various searches as saved search.

I might start with a narrow saved search: British, within one mile of my house, not more than 70 quid for half an hour, no bb, 18-23.

If there's not enough I widen it, maybe just excluding Romanians. Then widen the age category. So I'll have about 4 saved searches that I can just click on to get updated results.

A refinement I'd add if I had time would be 'not in my hotlists'. This is because I put those that might look misleadingly attractive but are no-no's into a separate hotlist called "no." (It functions like a blacklist but is potentially far more useful).

I've just been updating my AW lists (boring, but like spring cleaning so thought I'd share in case it helps any newbies. It's just my personal way and everyone evolves their own way.)

These are for Edinburgh (where the numbers are much smaller than London but greater than say Carlisle.
The size of the market also helps a reasonably manageable network of punters posting on the board for when you check reviews and reliability gradient of reviews.

A. After running through the searches as in my last post, plus maybe a 'wild' search, most possibles are placed in my default hotlist. I'll only check at this stage if I find her reasonably attractive and in my price range and no massive no-no's jumping off the page. This makes it easy to add to the defaults during odd moments.

B. Once hotlisted  (and refreshed the page) a small 'notes' tab appears with a dotted underline.

B. open this and add name, phone number, price for half hour, rough location (obtained from the 'more options' dropdown menu beneath her prices) and any obvious things I like eg CIM, late night working hours, or special (for me, minor but relevant) no-no's (absence of OWO), age, exceptionally attractive (to me) breast size dress size, and occasionally anything weird on her interview page such as her fave movie showing slightly more sphisticated taste in tune with mine. Or former/ alternative working names.

B. The above is just 3 or 4 lines of abbreviations.

B. If she's Romanian, note Romanian (I will sometimes but usually as a plan B). If she's very new I might note the registered date. Then I copy and paste her reference number, which appears at the end of her profile address down the bottom of her profile and paste it into the UKP search engine on a separate window. Quick assessment of any reviews and note (eg) "good UKP feeback" or "mixed UKP feedback". If it is a particularly reliable poster in my view I add his name.

B. A quick check on obvious stuff either at this stage or later on when making a buying decision: click on her AW rating to make sure it is not "hidden". Click on her gallery to see if it includes photos of her looking much older etc. Enlarge any photo that looks a bit photoshopped and see if I go off her. Maybe paste her phone number or name into google to see where else she's listed, look for any anomalies.

C. Then I click Add to Hotlist again and this time change the default hotlist. My current selection of hotlists is:

default
Today
Today or Tomorrow (ie more like a Plan B)
no ("see notes") (which will say why to avoid her)
outcall (for rare occasions, meaning she looks reasonably trustable and worth it finanially and punt experience)
shagged
UKP (these are not for punts but just to recognise fellow forum members that happen to be WGs)

D. If I contact her at any time, whether or not I book her, I update the notes.

This sounds a bit involved but I actually find it takes mere moments as you start doing it automatically.   :hi:

A few of mine-

Dress size: 6-8
Height: Under 5'4
Smoker: No

The trouble with this, is it really narrows down my options and these girls tend to charge more than I'm prepared to pay  :dash:

So I often end up keying in oriental in the specific words search function, as in my experience 9/10 fit this criteria.

I always check Vivastreet too, but this can be a minefield   :bomb:.

Some interesting responses, seems like most people use the proximity function more than anything else, but I guess that is to be expected. I will look more closely at the replies when I have some more time.

Thanks guys :drinks:

If Its a quick local punt then I just use proximity and age then scan the results for the services I'm after - I live in a punting wilderness so can't be as picky as I'd like.

If it's a planned punt somewhere with a decent headcount I'll still use proximity and age as it keeps the punt in the area I'll be visiting but I then also specify one thing from the likes list too.

The like filter is an "and" filter so specifying more than one thing limits results to wg's that offer all the list hat you've ticked.

I always prioritise my search results by proximity.  I also work on a general principle of a *few* discrimating criteria which I consider essential. 

I am interested to hear from Steve2 and any of the other TOFTT specialists...

Yes, that's a bit of a nuisance when a lot of criteria are XY and XY (discretion). You lose a lot if you choose both. It could do with an "or" option.

The one thing I never bother with is "at discretion" because it means that 99.9% of WG's wont do it but just want to increase their hit rate or look more lively than they really are.

Area + age + A-levels pretty much hits the mark every time  :thumbsup:

and of course let's not forget 'secondary' search parameters...

right-click, search photo TinEye etc
google search phone number + "escort"
google search exact name + "escort"

it would be handy to be able to do a wayback or historical search (to check changes in various bits of crap) but I don't think anyone has figured out how to get past AW's blocks on that one, even if any of the historical search engines log it (most just show the AW login page).

Offline shagbambi

I use proximity to where I am first,
Then incall or outcall
Then I use different age groups depending on what I am after (under 30, 30's, over 40)
Then services (no BB, Oral with, French kissing, reverse oral, penetration)
Then remove romanians
Then put in price/time criteria

All sorted by escort rating

I thought I had a smart idea but it does not appear to be working.

I thought highlighting only girls on my hotlist, active in the last week, ordered by proximity would let me see who on my hotlist was around and active.. 

But the results seem to miss some girls on my hotlist who appear active.  Anyone know what is going on?

Profiles
- Female
- Escort
- Available Today
- Only profiles with pictures
- Age from 18 - 35
- Order results by rating + escort

Interviews
- Breasts: Natural
- Smoker: No

Proximity
- Varies, but usually 40 miles to cover places I either travel to anyway, or that I am otherwise happy to go.

After that it's just a case of sit back and see who appeals to me the most. I probably should filter out the pricier ladies as it is highly unlikely that I would stump up silly money, but I think it is nice to know they are out there should the mood strike.

The one thing that really bugs me is not being able to filter by price on the mobile app, I think you can to an extent when using the main website but the app is way quicker and easier to navigate.

Just tried it and looks like the new mobile site has shat itself.  I only use the mobile site to log in - the limited optionality is too restrictive.

Not literally a search technique but more of a process I sometimes use.....

Find a girl on AW I like or have seen.
Go through her feedback and see which other girls her clients have seen and look at those girls.

So, if I like Sexybum, she's got feedback from Bigdave and Bigdave's also seen Superbutt then chances are Superbutt will be up my street too.
It's of course very hit and miss but I occasionally stumble across a new girl this way.

Sounds like an interesting technique, think I'll have to borrow that and give it a try myself   :thumbsup:
