DaddysList

Are you on Daddy’s List, or do you have a fatherly inventory of your own? It’s a funny question that might get different responses from folks who use the website of the same name. The site’s been around for years now, but has been seeing a big surge in traffic over the last couple months. I’m not sure what’s behind this boost, but I do know exactly what I like to use the site for. Considering where you’re reading this, I bet you have similar motivations.

DaddysList.com ain’t a totally NSFW site. In fact, you might mistake it for a wholesome classified ad directory if you didn’t know any better. The thing is, they’ve actually got a little directory of local escorts buried within their extensive listings, and I’ll be digging deep today. Click my link to follow along at home, because they don’t make it remotely easy to find the adult stuff from their front page. It’s almost as if they don’t want you to get laid, but don’t worry: your old friend ThePornDude has your back!

Where is the Daddy’s List Adult Section?

The DaddysList.com domain was registered back in 2011, which was about the time Craigslist made the decision to permanently remove their adult ads. I really have to wonder if this is why DaddysList was launched in the first place, to grab up that eager traffic that suddenly had nowhere familiar to go. From the front page, the form and function seem remarkably similar to Craigslist. One of the biggest differences is just the slightly more modern presentation, with a few basic icons, colors, and a simple logo versus the stark text-only design of Uncle Craig’s Used Garbage Emporium and Sketchy Job Listing Directory.

I’m not sure if this was always the case, but there’s no mention of adult services on the front page of Daddy’s List. They’ve got classified ads for multiple categories under Housing, Jobs, and For Sale, but there ain’t even a Services section where I might find the erotic masseuses and dommes I’m looking for. I tried typing Escort into the search bar, but only found Help Wanted ads for shampoo assistants and patient care concierges.

I’m not here to find a job washing hair, though, and I’m not trying to buy any of the football helmets, action figures or speakers thumbnailed on the front page. I spent a good ten minutes poking around, hoping I’d find the route from the front page to the escorts, if only so I could help my own readers navigate the place. If such a pathway exists, I fear I may have failed at my job, because I could not complete the journey.

Speaking as a professional smut reviewer, big-headed pornstar, highly successful porn webmaster and the guy who runs PornWebmasters, it seems to me that DaddysList.com is fucking themselves by fucking their users. User experience is one of the main things I look for in any website, and DaddysList is a pain. To get to the escorts the easy way, just add a slash and the letter I after the domain.

Oh, So That’s Where They Put the Escorts

Another weird quirk about the setup at DaddysList is that when you finally do get the escort section, it looks totally different from the main website. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s running on different software, and that’s why it ain’t connected to the front page. It’s a little sleazier looking, losing a little of the polish that made the site look so modern from out front. I wouldn’t say it’s ugly exactly, but it does look cheap.

Unlike the almost-everything-goes approach out front, with a breakdown of dozens of categories, the DaddysList escort section seems to have been designed for one purpose and one purpose only. There are only three very similar subcategories: Escorts/Body Rubs, Male Escorts and Trans (TS) Escorts. Yeah, I know TS ain’t technically the right terminology, and I assume the DaddysList admin know at this point, too. Still, it’s a two-letter keyword that fans keep searching for, and its inclusion here helps those fans find what they’re looking for.

Craigslist.org eventually spread around the world, which may be one of the reasons they still get a quarter million visitors a month even without the babes. Daddyslist.com never went worldwide, but they do have listings across the US and Canada. Like most escort directories and classified sites, you can tighten up your location by selecting your state or province and city.

The Featured Escorts and Recent ads on the front page of the Escort section weren’t promising, at least as far as volume is concerned. The women are gorgeous and I like the range of available escorts, from big-titty Asians to fat-booty ebony chicks to white college girls and straight-up MILFs. The thing is, there are only 3 Featured Escorts in all of North America, and only seven of those “Recent” ads have been posted in the last two days. Depending on where you’re located, you might end up with some pretty slim pickings.

Who’s Been Naughty on Daddy’s List?

I was almost positive I’d once boned a DaddysList escort who advertises herself as an Anal Queen and Throat Goat with a Tight Wet Kitty, but the listing says she’s in Texas, so maybe she just has the same face. I’m just outside of Chicago today, so that’s where I began my search for a little action tonight. I kind of wish they had a distance filter so I could dial in how far I was willing to drive, but with so few listings, it probably doesn’t matter much.

Chicago is, by any measure, a major metropolitan city. Even when I’m kicking it in the ‘burbs, I’ll set Chicago as my location when I’m using an escort site, because that always gives me the greatest selection of available women. The sad thing is that I think it’s probably one of the busier cities on DaddysList.com, too, but it ain’t busy compared to any decent escort site I’ve got written up here at ThePornDude.

I’m whipping up this review at the end of August, and only four local escorts have posted ads on the site this month. Old listings are fine on a site like eBay, where the seller probably still has that vintage Bart Simpson shirt you were hoping to buy. They’re another thing entirely on an escort site, where the providers may not even be in the business anymore.

One of this month’s ads is a thick Latina doing incalls and outcalls for a hundo an hour. DaddysList allows explicit listings and dirty pics, so I was pretty fucking hard after gawking at her fishnet and blowjob pics. They don’t have as many fields to fill out in their About Me section as some sites, so it looks like a lot of women are dropping a ton of deets in their text blurbs.

There’s no registration required on the user end, meaning you won’t have to give the site an email address or make an account. Contact info for escorts is plainly listed, and yeah, that’s a Chicago area code at the start of this chick’s digits. If things go well, I’ll be setting up a little evening excursion after I finish writing this review. I’d ask you to wish me luck, but I’m a handsome dude with a full wallet.

The escort section at DaddysList is so well hidden that I wonder if they’re intentionally trying to kill it off, but don’t want to alienate their users by telling them to fuck off. The website navigation issues may be one of the reasons why there are so few escorts listed, even in major cities. All in all, it’s a bummer for everyone involved.

It's hard to recommend DaddysList.com to anybody looking for a local escort, because there just ain’t many to choose from. I’ve got a whole list of Escort Sites here at ThePornDude that would probably serve you better, no matter where you live, with more listings and maybe even some user reviews. The only real upside to Daddy’s List is that it’s easy to see who’s working in your area, provided you’ve at least got the link to the escort section. It couldn’t hurt to take a peek, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
