Advice for new punters

Not involving feelings, remembering that it is something you’ll usually do, going with a clear mind and taking everything as roleplay, in other words, she won’t be your girlfriend, nor will she be available 24 hours a day for you. As such, you have to go with the flow and enjoy yourself without limits, in the end she won’t judge you.
Getting the rules clear before beginning, what you like and what you don’t so that in the moment of action, things don’t get cut short.
Choosing a place where you feel comfortable for the encounter, because you’re naturally going to be nervous, the ideal thing is for you to be able to concentrate and feel free, you should choose a faraway place where you know no one is going to turn up or see you with the girl.
Pay by cash not card, that way there’s no trace, and pay after the encounter, NEVER before.

Read profiles, don't ask silly questions, arrive on time and be respectful.

appears to be the way

The Respect.

be straight in what services you want, expect, dont haggle and ..never ever pay a deposit.

Spot on mate

read the forums, lots of good info

"dont use agencies !!!"

the best advice

There is wisdom to the phrase "suspiciously cheap" and correspondingly in "reassuringly expensive" but having lots of good reviews supersedes that principle.

Have a good idea of the inter-quartile range of prices in your region and bare in mind that those charging the lower quartile are likely doing that because they are either new at this or to take pressure off of themselves while they politely and efficiently operate on you. This is at least the impression I get based on my experience.

Those charging closer to the upper quartiles are what you want to actually get an erotic *experience* instead of just a genital-to-genital massage. Pricier workers also seem to be much better at giving directions or at least being somewhere that isn't tricky to find.

It's a matter of what you consider value for money.

They will send you the address and/or postcode and just before you begin give you more details, possible by messaging, possibly by phoning.

Be clear as to what services you want at the stated price and walk away (with your cash) if she trys to renegotiate or refuses services previously agreed to.

Be very..very... very cautious of so called "discrete escorts" who ask for a deposit.

From the other perspective dont add services on arrival or be short on the cash.

its been said many times read the forums and avoid profiles without face photos and feedback.

Be patient, do your research and dont make hasty choices.

I've seen quite a lot of advice

"Don't use agencies" why is that?

Agencies add extra on top of what you will pay to an independent escort, and also have a reputation for bait and switch and you don't get the girl you think you have booked.

Because the photos are of glamour models with blurred out faces so you think wow FAF super sexy Jag Iv'e booked, but when you get there and its rusty old morris minor.

i like that comparison

If they dont display a face photo ask yourself ...WHY?

Well it's obviously because I'm so ugly that I'd make clients cry if they saw me and not at all because I'd get the sack from my day job which I also love doing.

I see people comment "don't use agencies". Does this apply even if they have a good review on Escortranking? Does that make any difference? Why is that?

looks pretty dubious to me
