View source for How to ask for advice on UKpunting

===Give before you Take===

* If you have not '''given''' to the forum via reviews, don't be surprised if you get little help.

===Do your homework===

Read some reviews before you ask for a recommendation, and provide detail about what you want. The more detail you give the better people can help you. One line posts asking recommendation will not get you very far on UKP. That is because:

*Every review already posted on UKP '''is''' a recommendation. If you are too lazy to read, it seems fair that other posters are not inclined to help.
*Other guys tastes (and restrictions) really are different to yours. Specify what you want.
*Thus to get any new information, you need to be (1) specific on why the recent reviews were not enough and (2) very specific on what you want. Why believe the next poster if you ignore the 100 that already posted this month?
If you don't know what the last 25 reviews of your region said, you are certainly NOT ready to ask for a reco.
Before you start asking questions on UKPunting it is advisable to invest some time in reading through the forums relevant to your area, and this wiki. UKPunting is split into Discussion and Reviews boards by regions of the UK. Hopefully this wiki and the forums will contain most of the answers to your questions already. However if you have new, more specific questions, start a thread in the relevant REGIONAL section of UKPunting. In particular, if you are in an area with detail included here (London, SE, EMids, NE, Y+tH) be sure to look over the links and lists on this Wiki before you ask for new recommendations.

If you have your eye on any escorts in particular, post their AdultWork links as it will help other UKP members get an idea of the sort of women that interest you (after you have searched for comments about her on UKP). If you have never used AdultWork before, don't worry; there is a useful Guide to AdultWork thread on UKPunting. Despite its shortcomings, AdultWork is the best method for finding escorts.
===Be fully clear on your requirements - say all FIVE points in your request for help===
If you have reviewed the information on this Wiki and that on the threads on UKP and are still not sure which escort to see and want to ask for a personal recommendation, the best thing to do is start a new thread in UKPunting asking for advice and listing your requirements:

*Looks: what type of woman turns you on? (Words like 'hot' and 'sexy' don't help- you need to be specific - some guys really do fancy a size 18 MILF).  Mention age, size, nationality.
*Services required: state what is essential for you (e.g. OWO, CIM, etc.)
*Budget: state how much you can afford to pay and for how long (e.g. an hour, half an hour?).  In call vs outcall.
*Area: where are you based? How far are you prepared to travel?
*Example of an escort that you considered. This is helpful even if she is no longer working. An example helps bring to mind similar escorts. If you provide no example, most punters assume you have done no legwork.

If you mention these 5 things (Looks, Services, Budget, Area, Example) you will often get help. 

Note it is best practice to ask for recommendations on the regional discussion boards, unless you have a very hard to find requirement and you really are willing to go anywhere.

===Examples===
Examples of bad ways to ask for help

'''1)''' I am in London next week and want to see an English girl who does anal, any advice?

'''2)''' Any black girls worth seeing in Bristol?

'''3)''' Working in Manchester soon want a GFE, with a brunette, who is the best?


Examples of a better way to ask for help that will give you the best chance of getting some feedback

'''1)''' I am in London next week, I have looked up these two girls ''www.adultwork/1234'' and ''www.adultwork/6789''. I have checked the reviews here and there is no mention of anal, can anyone confirm if either of these provide this service as they both have it on their likes list.

'''2)''' I have looked up this ebony girl in Bristol, ''www.adultwork/2345''. There is no intell here, has anyone seen her, and could let me know what her service level is like?

'''3)''' Can anyone give advice on either of these girls ''www.adultwork/3456'' or ''www.adultwork/4567'', particularly with regards to a GFE experience.

'''4)''' I will be in Portgate next week. I am looking for a slim, natural boobs, 25-30 year old.  Must be great at DFK and OWO.  Max £180/hr incall.  I liked the look of www.adultwork/1234 but she is off

By doing some legwork '''yourself''', you will stand the best chance of getting advice from fellow punters who have a wealth of experience.
