I have noticed a girl on AW local to me who has 2 profiles. It is blatantly the same girl.

My issue with it is that one profile, which is new up this w/e, she 'treasures' her health. Yet on her old established profile with lots of feedback she offers bareback.

I don't think this is fair as guys could be going to see her on the basis that she plays it safe. If a guy goes to see her for bareback on her bareback profile, thats their business ... but to safe guys looking at this new profile could be at more risk than they know.

I have complained to aw about it.

What else can I do?

I assume you guys think I am right to do this?

Any chance you could post the URLs on here so we could take a look?

IMHO this is actually the fault of the people who set up that site. No escort site should ever have the option for services as "bareback". It just shows you the person who designed that site (probably some nerdy code monkey) did not know anything about the escorting scene.

Worse still when you set up a profile unless you go through the list of services and only check the ones you do it will list them all by default (including the bareback one). If the list of services was only 1 of say 3 or 4 questions the girls would pay more attention, but it's about the 8th or 9th step in and so what can happen is the girl just accepts the defaults to get a profile up asap. This then means she is listed as doing bareback.

Thanks for the reply Jay.

I reported her profile and I noticed that they have removed the new 'safe sex' profile but have retained her old 'bareback' profile.

So I am pleased about that as at least the guys going for safe sex aren't escorting with a bareback girl.

AW has been going strong for so long. It must be over 6 or 7 years. Think it is time someone challenged it and built a site based on genuine punters and escorts alike.

Well funny you should mention that as the guys who run janeyweb and TAC amateurs have tried to do that:

Not used that site myself though.

Oh, cheers Jay, never heard of that one before- might have to investigate it.

And you're right to report it mike; I've encountered similar things before, it's very misleading and damaging to the community. It's especially glaring when a man acting alone or as part of a couple pulls that dual-account rubbish.

That said, it's possible it was a duplicate based off some girl using the first account's pictures, so either way you were right to draw attention to it...

Let's face it adultwork is a mine field...that's why some punting forums do not allow girls to be reviewed who are only on that site (PunterNet has that rule) or will not allow discussions of girls on there.

Carlisle_Bill · 02-02-2010, 10:06 PM

Yeah if anything minefield is too polite a term; it's gotten really slack on the moderation front and the booking/"likes" system is flawed to begin with, so I'm not surprised some review communities blacklist it

Still it's an utterly massive site so I understand it's hard to admin that kind of thing, but it doesn't excuse some of those decisions!

I have been on AW since 2004 and have seen big improvements over the years. The trouble is that if it looks to good to be true, it probably is. All you guys need to do is read the signs. On the profile page, see when she last logged in, make sure she allows feedback, stop and read the profile instead of heading straight for the gallery. Look at the gallery pictures and see if they look real. See if she has a free intro movie and verified face picture. with the amount of girls on there is bound to be some cons, just use your loaf. honest, I must get 5 emails a day asking if I can visit a guy in London or elsewhere, and it quite clearly says on my profile that I only visit hotels in Nottingham. And as I have a somewhat limited service, I make it quite clear in capital bold type what is on offer and the type of guys I will see, you would think by the 10 emails a day that I get asking for anal, sex, threesomes etc. that I hadn't even written a profile.
Punternet is run by a guy with an inflated sense of his own importance and the guys at AW rubbed him up the wrong way.
As for other sites offering the same service, I have been invited to join 4 in the last few years and all have failed dismally. One even called themselves "adultworks"
For the girls it can be a real earner. All the money I make selling vids, photosets, and webbcaming pays for 3-4 holidays a year for me and hubby

Oh, it definitely has its strong points and a lot of the slagging off is hyperbole and stirred up by the competetion, but they do screw up sometimes...

I never got so much as an apology when they killed my GF's couple account based off a complete fabrication by a reviewer who themselves had incredibly negative feedback (incidentally, still not sure why hiding your feedback is even an option).
