Simply put, a showcase or P411 is an already paid for opportunity for one to SELL one's self. Its there, might as well use it. Pics are the same . . .
Relying on reviews is a slippery slope as only one bad one seems to create a whole series of "I won't see her now" from other hobbyists, even if there are a slew of good ones. I DO realize that is not always the case as many of us are able to see past one bad for the many good. The other side of that coin however, having read thousands of reviews, the majority are not much more than Letters to Penthouse quality. Not a slam, its the result of the provider having made the client feel like "HE MAN"! :cheesy:
I don't write reviews anymore; I did on ASPD and the resulting PM's were more trouble than they were worth with dumb, stupid, or nasty questions/comments. I NEVERY had a bad experience and I believe that is because of the interaction with the provider before we ever met. I also did a meet and greet with almost every lady before any BCD activities. Sure that cut down on potential liaisons as many were not up for that, but in the end the effort was always worth it. When a meet and greet wasn't available, calls were . . . one lady who is still with us had a voice that the instant I heard it I was totally hooked
These days I also have more to protect as I only hobby with my SO so I rely on the PROVIDER to attract; to entice; to cause me to take the first step. It also why I don't write reviews.
So ladies, try to write something that describes YOU . . . it may turn off some that are not looking for what you have, but it may also build a reliable group of regulars that will always be there.
And for Ged's sake, lose the pouty lip pics . . .
