There may not be anything wrong with it, but it may not be worth the time and effort it takes to write a review well. For example:
I saw a ladyfriend last week. I've seen her over 30 times; already reviewed her several times, on multiple sites. A new review by someone else might be useful, but another review by me would have minimal if any value. In fact, it might have negative value, if people perceived the multiple reviews as indicating that I was a WK whose reviews should be ignored.
I saw another ladyfriend a few months ago. I've also seen her over 30 times, but only reviewed her once, on another site quite some time ago. She has several reviews here, but she's told me that she prefers not to have very many. She's also relatively low volume. She evidently has as many reviews as she needs to sustain the level of business she wants; another review would have minimal if any value, not enough to overcome her general preference to keep them to a minimum.
I saw a couple of new (to me) ladies a few months ago. One has over 50 reviews; the other has a dozen or so, but is very low volume. Both already have enough reviews to maintain the level of business they want, and another review by me would add very little. Is it really that helpful (to the lady or prospective clients) to have 55 reviews instead of 54 reviews???
And that doesn't even address my UTR ladyfriend.
The fact of the matter is that
ladies don't need or want a review of every single session they have. Not even close. (Too many reviews can even be a negative, if it deters a prospective client because she appears too high volume.) If I don't review her, plenty of other clients will. As long as she gets reviews for a sufficient percentage of her sessions, she's likely indifferent whether any
particular client reviews her. Ditto for the prospective clients -- most may not even read all the reviews she has. Does anybody read 50+ reviews of one lady in order to decide whether to see her??? (Note that I write reviews, when I do, to provide information, not "entertainment.") There will almost always be enough clients who do want to write reviews to ensure that there are enough of any particular lady. If there aren't, it's probably a lady I wouldn't see anyway.
Admittedly, my judgment on whether a review by me will be helpful may not be as accurate as hers. That's why I defer to her judgment; if she asks, I'll probably write a review. I state that in my P411 profile, as well as that she should feel free to ask and I won't be offended if she does or doesn't. So, for example, someone just starting out (although I rarely see those ladies) can easily get a review from me. Just ask.
Some ladies may feel uncomfortable asking. But this is a business and one important skill a small business owner needs is asking satisfied clients for referrals or endorsements or word-of-mouth advertising, in order to attract other clients.
I understand your perspective, and may have shared it to some degree when I first started on discussion boards about 10 years ago. But today, I respectfully disagree.
(Which can, of course, include simply the good feeling from helping other members of the community.)
