Review/Ratings Score?

[donuts]

It would be great if we could give providers a score, like say 0-10, and then have it averaged and appear in the searches. Maybe like a drop down menu in their showcase, so we can give the provider an overall score, like 0 for bad, 5 for average, 7 for ok, 9 for good, and 10 for best. Then this gets averaged and appears on their profile/showcase. What do you guys think?

I think it's too subjective to be a useful tool.

I want a B&G, you want a multi-hour appointment.

She gives spectacular head, but with you, gets tired and loses focus after 45 minutes.

I rate her a 10, but you rate her a 3.

Who's right? As far as I can tell from your rating, you're an idiot, and vice versa.

Depending on a single number instead of reading reviews is asking for trouble.

It's all subjective, even the reviews. I'm not saying it will replace the reviews. It will just be a quick and dirty way to summarize everyone's experiences with that provider. If I want to go more in depth, I just read the reviews. It may even be good to have a similar rating for the session in the reviews too.

I agree that it's all subjective, but with numbers they become the focus. Guys will give a woman a glowing review with mediocre numbers, and all she is judged upon is that number. By reading the review you're forced to understand another gent's perspective. While another gent may recommend a girl that's using fake pics because she's still hot, or excuse shady behavior or TCB because the end result was a success, you ultimately have the option of truly assessing whether a Companion's overall MO fits what you find exceptional/acceptable.

Life is subjective. Trying to rate an entire human interaction on a scale of 1-10 is silly. Without context, the rating would be meaningless.

"ENTIRE HUMAN INTERACTION"
could be on the drop-down menu in the Sub-Rating
Category. For my Cubz, the Chemistry or "Entire Human Interaction" is what it's all about.

I personally don't think that is what ECCIE is for, however there is a review board that accumulates a number for providers based on their reviews.

You may want to focus on that site for now.

I think because men interpret things differently it would be useless here (on ECCIE) considering when you do your research a number would mean nothing when you can read a review that may provide a vision you are in fact looking for but the provider is rated a 5 on a scale of 1-10 that to me could make you miss out on a very much needed experience.

[OklahomaSooner]

There is another site that does by numbers and I saw a 5 after many told me she was awesome besides her reviews and she was my ATF for a long time...

So doesnt always work the way you think it will

Give us all Standardized Test Scores hehe. And, add in a talent-show round. Who wants to judge? I shall participate and score well.

The scoring system on TER was highly abused. Staff taking bribes to get rid of low scores, groups of clients fuckin' girls cheap for 10 ratings, the harassment the hobbyist got for giving less than a 10.

I think that is one of the draws of Eccie. It is a simple yes, I recommend her or no I wouldn't.

[RafaelH]

Another board I am on uses a 0 - 10 scale, and it suffers from grade inflation. Almost all the ratings are 8, 9, or 10, with a few 6's or 7's. When I first started the hobby my ratings were 9 & 10 on looks and service, but as I gained experience they started to drop a bit. Some of the ladies I had rated a 9 or 10 on reflection should have been lower.

While the ratings may make it easier to search, they won't have any meaning. Between the pictures, the physical description, and the ROS I have all the information I need.

I honestly find Eccie to be a 'classier' site than the one's that choose to rate providers via a number system. It takes a thick skin to be in this business as is. Being reviewed is weird enough.
If I reviewed every client that was 'not good looking, over weight, not as clean as he should be, an asshole, boring, ect, I am sure some feeling would be hurt ~ let alone if I assigned a # to them. How about the gents that call last minute, want a deal and expect exceptional service. I mean, I could go on and on.
'SOME' of the gents that write the most reviews on the boards feel VERY entitled and if you do not give them what they want, they slam you on the boards ~ I know many girls that have had to deal with that type of situation.
Also, most providers react to their clients resulting in most being 'YMMV'. When I am uncomfortable with someone, for whatever reason, I know I do not give my best. I just want to get through the hour and move on. I don't have the same experience with every client and I certainly have better sessions with gents I have seen a few times.
Anyhoo...too many factors to assign #'s in my opinion.

i honestly wouldn't mind being reviewed by providers if it gets me discounted rates. i feel like this would encourage me to take better care of myself, be cleaner, well dressed, smell nice, pleasing personality, good tcb, etc... basically be a decent human being. i dunno. just my opinion. if other girls read my reviews, realize i'm not an ogre, and actually like my personality, they might be ok with giving me a reduced rate. i mean, providers already do this to an extent when they screen us. adding a review forum would just make it a little more efficient. like leaving a letter of recommendation for other providers. that's what we clients already do with the provider reviews. i see them more as letters of recommendation for providers than just reviews. i wouldn't mind if clients had something similar. in the least, it would make screening a lot easier for providers.

what do you think?

No.

A service provider doesn't openly review a client, not if she wishes to retain said client. This pertains to a provider of any service, not just the one we mostly discuss around here.

You may be sure that service providers of all kinds share information about their clients among themselves. Or not. That's up to them.

If you can't wash your ass, or otherwise be a "decent human being" in the first place, you've got a problem that a written report can't fix anyway. As for the rest, well, that's why we're paying them, because if we were that suave and debonair, we'd be getting plenty of "free" pussy all around town.

No matter how much they gush about you, you're still going to have to pay, because that's the business. Discounts may come after you've established a good business relationship, not because someone said you were a nice guy.

While I don't know for sure, I'm relatively certain screening consists of more than seeing post(s) on a forum saying the guy was "nice" and "clean".

Whether it is TER or any other site that uses a number system, it sounds good to begin with, but the reality seems to quickly erode it. The ratings quickly become more about the person writing the review than about the lady being reviewed, even putting aside the kind of dishonest practices mentioned above.

Same lady, two guys assigning scores:
--One guy highly values a woman who is sexually aggressive, big breasts bouncing when the lady is on top, and has a fixation with rabbit tats because of his favorite movie star
--The other values BBBJs, a quick wit, and the stereotypical slow seduction while finding ink a turnoff

One could easily and honestly give her a "9" and the other a "5" because she did or didn't fit what excites them, not because she was any different in the two appointments.

I essentially ignore numbers (unless they are in the rip-off/fraud category). I value good descriptions:
--Does she look like her photos (then I can decide if I like that look)
--What is her attitude like? Friendly? Rushed? Silly?

I see nothing evil about a number system, but I think they would be less useful than they seem at first glance.
