Poor Quality of Reviews????

[charlestudor2005]

First of all, an apology to the ladies for posting this in Coed since they don't have access to read the reviews (at least as far as I know).

Second, an apology to the reviewers since I may be a little unfair in comparing this site to ASPD. In addition, the reviews I read on ASPD (RIP) were in Texas and not Arkansas, so in that sense I'm comparing apples with oranges.

The Observation: it appears to me that the reviews that appeared on ASPD were more detailed than the ones that appear on ECCIE, most especially in the BCD (Rest of the Story) section. On ASPD this section tended to be a fairly graphic chronology of the session, whereas on ECCIE, it tends to a general description confirming the activities and saying how great the lady is.

I much preferred the detail contained in the ASPD reviews. But does that necessarily mean the ECCIE reviews are of poor quality, or just different?

Thoughts???

To a point I agree with you here. From what I have seen it seems like a lot of it is the same person posting about the same lady multiple times. It is like they post a good review the first time and then they see her again and just post a review pretty much that they saw her but when it comes to BCD it is empty. If you don't want to detail the review so others can decide if they would like to see her or not then there really is not much of a point IMO. Oh well, to each his own and I guess everyone does not feel this way just like some prefer not to review at all.

Well I guess it might also be that some here are not writers. I also don't feel it right to post every wet, juicy, little detail; how many times we did the act; how many times to provider moaned, etc. If the reader wants to live that experience, pay the provider the $$$. I try to post, without being overly explicit, what happened and if I believe the provider is worth the time and money.

I'm glad this was posted in the co-ed section because this subject is definitely relevant to the ladies. I've gotten reports from gentleman who say that they refuse to do reviews anymore because the couple of times they did so when they were new to the hobby, some of the other hobbyists jumped all over them and complained about their reviewing skills. This is quite a shame because there are a huge number of people who simply read this site for information purposes only and don't post, somewhat because of this very problem. Constructive criticism is one thing, but when a gentleman gives up on reviews, it's the ladies who don't get the benefit of another man's perspective on her service.

The old dawgs need to be more tolerant of the new guys. Give the guy a high five on his new conquest instead of a slap on the wrist. After enough slaps, they no longer want to reach into the cookie jar.

For the most part, Texas or most major texas cities always had a tendancy to have "better" perhaps more graphic detailed reviews. Getting reviewed in texas ALWAYS was a huge boost because most guys gave a good blow by blow or pretty close to it..

However, even arkansas "back in the day" on aspd say 2003, 2004, 2005 the hobbyiest gave pretty good, well written reviews. The decline, if there is one per say, is that as long time hobbyiest move on or find a few ATF's their need to review them decreases since its often same thing happening. With the "old timers" moving on or staying in the background, the newbies didn't alot of times have stuff to go by, they might look at reviews done by other relative newbies and think, "those guys did it this way, thus i will do it this way".. and in the end you wind up with less then "good" reviews being done.

Also, you then have the reasons from guys as one listed above, they simply refuse to give a graphic review.. i don't think its "graphic" that fellow hobbyiest seek, but atleast a detailed description of the activities listed in order to make a better informed decision.

For a hobbyiest to say "if you wanna know spend your own money" goes against the very purpose of this board, bcd and the comments providers can't see. As a hobbyiest your suppose to want to give back by often times meeting an "agreed" upon standard of writing the review in order to give back to the community you take from.

A penthouse forum letter is not needed, but lack of details does do a dis-service to the hobbyiest, the community and the board. The board can only be as good as the info being exchanged.. I don't know if Big C still has a link or anything to "how to write a review" but it should be required reading. You don't have to be a "writer" to give details of your experience, you don't have to be graphic or tell to much personal info like how you popped in just under 30 seconds the first time..no no..you leave that out.. but you can describe how the lady while doing mish looked into my eyes and ask me to kiss her, when i was behind this lovely piece of beauty she flung her hair backwards and I took the hint to grab and lightly tug at her hair as I enjoyed myself inside her.

perhaps a as I entered her incall she kissed me with passion, it wasn't long and she was working her skills orally and quite the talent she is. She looked often into my eyes almost looking for approval as she worked my manhood in and out of her warm wet mouth..it wasn't long and the pressure was building, she didn't shy away but instead kept enjoying my tool as I emptied my balls into her eager mouth..without a blink of the eye it was gone and she seemed content.


i mean geez..im not even a guy and it couldn't be that hard.. just whatever was going thru you mind about how good it was at the time..convey it in a review.. no juicy graphic explicit details..

but details none the less that atleast give a glimpse of what to expect..


if it helps the girl..fine..but once again..it needs to be repeated and hobbyiest reminded..YOU DON'T WRITE REVIEWS TO HELP GIRLS!! you write them honestly and with details to give back to the hobbyiest and community and to help fellow hobbyiest..the side effect is that it will impact the provider either good or bad..

Since I started this, I'll follow it up. On ASPD, I wanted to post reviews so I could get free BCD access. My first review was posted, but did not count towards BCD access because it didn't meet ASPD's standards for review. So, I guess there was some minimum that had to be met. My first review was also bare on details, probably due to my self-imposed hesitancy to relate details. However, I soon learned to get into details. Did I describe every position, the number of times we did it, in chronological or alphabetical order? No. But I also didn't say, "this is a sexy and nice girl who really enjoys her work." That tells the reader nothing. I hit the high points of the session, and if there were any negatives, they made it in there too. I think it's important to reflect the overall tenor of the session, with specific examples (after all, a list of activities exists earlier in the review). If a lady disappoints me, then I'll say so. For instance, one thing I really like is to be cleaned up after the session. I somehow feel shortchanged if I'm ignored in this respect. And I don't feel like it's something I should have to ask for...it should be offered. Just my .02.

P.S.--I agree that a monger who sees the same lady in repetition, shouldn't post successive reviews, especially if they are going to be substantially the same. It might lead some to believe there is a afoot.

[Bimboknocker]

Your right charles, there was a reviewer on the texas aspd, J.R.Ewing, that was the best reviews I've ever read. When you read his review you knew exactly what she would and would not do. You could tell he was not lying about the session. He told the good and the bad. He didn't try to be a poet or have cute lines, just to the point. I thought the point of a review was not how she moaned, but how she made the client moan, and what the experience is before we lose $$$ on something that is not what we want

Charles. Thanks for bringing this up. Before ASPD took the final dive, the same circumstances were beginning to occur on the Arkansas board. Several observations and thoughts on my part I've stated in a previous thread about the importance of reviews - for both hobbiest and provider.

1. A review doesn't have to be graphic or a blow by blow account to be informative, but does have to contain details to adequately describe the provider and the experience. It helps the provider build clientele and helps the hobbiest know where they would like to spend their hard earned $.

2. Sequential reviews performed by the same hobbiest on the same provider appear to be self-serving. While a provider might become an "all time favorite", repetitive over glamourization (is that a word?) tends to come across as adolescent infatuation and a lame attempt to win the adoration of the provider. -- No offense to you guys that are guilty, here, but really!

3. Premium Access here, as I understand it can be earned as BCD status on ASPD. I'm guilty of not searching for the ECCIE policy, but I'd implore Big C to weigh in here. Feedback to the reviewer would help some of the reviews with a heavy dose of adoration and lack of details. Big C also had as a part of his signature on ASPD a link to a treatise on "How to Write a Review". That in itself would be helpful to those who are new to the hobby or are new to review writing.

4. There also seems to be a lot of time spent with banter within the review threads here - some useful, most of it isn't and could be better discussed within the framework of another thread - in the locker room or in coed discussion. Case in point - Kyla's preference for those under 40. Good info, but if she doesn't wish to see me, I certainly don't wish to spend my $ there. Its valuable info. IMHO, comments on a review should deal with the review itself, keeping in mind, that you don't want an open discussion of "The Rest of the Story" or BCD comments. That's can be especially counter productive for the provider and in fact do unintended harm or misconceptions.

The weather delayed the delivery of my Wall Street Journal so I couldn't check the exchange rate, so you'll have to be satisfied with my 2 cents worth.

If any of the new review writers are still in such awe after a session that they can't put a string of words together to create a sentence, I'll be happy to hold class.

Big C could help here!

The reviews on ASPD were good, but blond Lily, you hit on what sucked about the former site. The boards were filled with review nazis who didn't mind telling you that your review didn't stack up to their own self-important standards. I hope those people stay away from this nice, laid-back community.

Yellow, I certainly don't want to be put in the category of a review nazi, but as a nice, laid-back community, we should be willing to help each other with enough details that help you decide whether or not you wish to see a particular provider without trying to establish the fact she walks on water.

Thanks for the link Mac, and I didn't miss the WSJ enough to seek depression with the online version. I already had the pinot grigio bottle uncorked.

Well for one, I guess my reviews are terrible because I have posted two and have not received BCD credit for those so I guess I am doing it wrong. But for one I am not going to embellish a session to make myself look good. I am going to stick to the facts.

I am not taking notes during a session and remembering every little detail. I can remember some things but every little thing during an hour-long session? Come on who can actually do that? If you anyone says they can then they must be some sort of savant. With that said, for one I don't want to give false representation of the provider so that someone else gets disappointed so I don't want to embellish what went during our time.

So from me it is just the activities and positions and maybe a highlight or two, other than that well, to me, is just unuseful information.

No excuse; you can look it up online: http://www.xe.com/

Though, FWIW, the fluctuations in the rate haven't mattered much when you round it off, it's still roughly US$0.02 = €0.014. I doubt it'll change much for a while; hasn't since The Mothership crashed and most of us migrated here.

Cheers,

bcg (who prefers that the "alphabet soup" be in the "activities" section, at least until he purchases Premium Access, which may be soon, praise Dog!)
