Too many reviews ?

We are suspicious folk
It doesn't have anything to do with what we expect of the provider. It has everything to do with what we have come to expect from elle.

Make sense now?

No, it doesn't. So if Brook Wild has 10 reviews in 2 weeks instead of 5 weeks, that would scare you away......how?

Some of the statements you have made here and elsewhere on the Houston boards appear to be simply confrontational in nature so I don't really know if your are serious or just trying to start shit. My gut and your sig line tell me it's the latter. I will assume for the sake of argument that you are serious.

Brooke is a known commodity. Using her in this example isn't relevant to the topic as I see it.

However, yes if her reviews increased that dramatically I would have suspicions. Stranger things have happened.

Unless you've lived either first hand or vicariously through this or the old board through Black Tuesday and Last Christmas and the impact those events have had on our hobby lifestyle you can't possibly understand our suspicious nature. To question it in such a manner as yours is insulting, rude and quite frankly makes you look uninformed or lacking of respect for your bros.

At the risk of breaking your sig line rule #4,
I guess I need to clarify my question/statement. I will write this in English this time. If I plan to see ANY provider and she is pasted on the front page of a review section, let's say 5 reviews. I will let the traffic die down for a while because I believe it can LEad to unwanted attention. I did not say anything against any provider. I also do not want to feel as though I am taking a number and waiting in line EVEN if I am, lol.

I know a provider who freaked cause she was provider of the day and got so many calls. I know providers who get mad when someone bumps old reviews and put them back on the front page. Lets be real, too many reviews of one provider in a short period of time is not good on many levels, IMHO. I know that providers cant control that (some can) and some actually like the attention.

So again, CAN TOO MANY REVIEWS BE DETRIMENTAL ?

Yes too many reviews especially in a short time raises a red flag because it is out of the norm.

Just tryin' to fit in. Seems Houston people can dish it out pretty good, but some of 'em seem to pretty easily get their panties in a bunch when on the other end of it.

so I don't really know if your are serious or just trying to start shit.

More often than not, a little bit of both.

Brooke is a known commodity. Using her in this example isn't relevant to the topic as I see it.

Yes, it is. The original post didn't pose the question only in the context of unknown ladies. If you can read his mind better than i, all the power to ya. I just responded based on the literal wording of the question.

However, yes if her reviews increased that dramatically I would have suspicions. Stranger things have happened.

So it would affect your decision making. So why say it's not relevant?

Unless you've lived either first hand or vicariously through this board through Black Tuesday and Last Christmas and all the implications those events have had on our hobby lifestyle you can't possibly understand our suspicious nature.

Forgive me for being from NY and not knowing the specifics. I can only assume, from your suggesting those matters are relevant to the points you're trying to make, that peopLE targeted the more well known and popular providers. And proceeded to also use them as bait to go after clients. Otherwise i fail to see how one girl having more reviews than another poses more of a risk to herself or anyone else.

To question it in such a manner as yours is insulting, rude and quite frankly makes you look uninformed or lacking of respect for your bros.

Oh please. I'll cop to the uninformed accusation, but my point is one you can/should respond to without feeling insulted.

No need to clarify anything, i understood you perfectly. First off, i'm in agreement with you on the "high volume provider" aspect of your concern. If a girl is too popular, you might want to wait until things slow down for her before even trying to book her so as to avoid the "take a number" approach. I get that. And since i was in agreement, i didn't see the need to say anything. I only entered the discussion when it was brought up that having a lot of reviews makes the girl a risk somehow. That, i don't get. I may have phrased my original post poorly, and maybe some of my meaning was a bit more generic than simply addressing the risk factors brought up, but as i said, i understood you perfectly.

I thought they had a board in New York, guess not. We are here in the pursuit of pussy one way or the other. How about you?

The racetrack currently runs ads and they occasionally write reviews for themselves.

It is easy to write a review of a provider who is "overly reviewed", there are so many reviews out there that people tend not to scrutinize the info...and some credibility is gained by the "reviewer".

Yeah, I have read many reviews that seem to be fake to me. They add things or describe things that arent there/ doesnt happen my favorite wasw when they said Miki had manmades, lol. I guess they made hers out of human flesh for that real feel.

Doove, it's all good.

Ouch!

I don't care to argue this relative to the current discussion, so i'll just concede your point. But what does that have to do with legal crackdowns of any kind?

Okay, blond day #2... we know too many in a short time span, but OPs original question was does too many reviews knock a chick down on your list? My question, how many is too many. A new girl comes, or comes back, one person does a review,and you'll see two or three others jump the bandwagon and review too. All glowing. Then next thing you know,here one comes the opposite no recommend because she's "cold", wack ass handjob, whatever.

Your thoughts?

Your thoughts?

Honestly, it really just depends on the provider and the reviews. I couldn't set a benchmark in my mind that would apply to everyone. For some ladies, 1 is waaaaay too many reviews. For others, 20 isn't enough. For the most part, one negative review won't hurt an honest provider with an already good reputation. A series of them might raise some eyebrows.

I agree with Doove here; there is little enough a provider can do about her reviews. She can request that hobbyists write them, even get under the skin of the more soft-headed guys and script the reviews for them. But those are pretty easy to sniff out and relatively harmless by and large. My own bells go off when I see hobbyist after hobbyist putting up reviews on a particular lady, spa or sc. Check out the first page of the SC review forum and you'll see what I mean. There are 4 reviews up of the same place and that's pretty low for the moment. Some days, I've seen as many as 8 for that one specific location. Call it whatever codename you want, but you're kidding yourself if you think your Aunt is stupid and can't put it together... And then we all wonder how events like Black Tuesday and the Toys 4 Tots Massacre happen.

A little common sense goes a long way.

The only "damned" would be if your service is below par!!
