Reviews ... a comment for both the ladies & gents

[Justapervert]

This conversation has been had many many times on this board. the plain ans simple fact of the matter is this. There are ladies (mostly BP) that deserve bad reviews do to unsafe practices, or just blatant lies. But moreover, the rude, crass reviews that some guys insist on doing are completely uncalled for, and to me, make that review completely irrelevant as its more about teh poster than the experience. The review is being done for one reason, shock factor, Its like howard stern doing a review. Like stern, that act has gotten old.
It a very subjective thing, a review. It may be better to start out by every member having to explain what they expect from someone in a session, what their idea of beauty is, what their idea of "old" is, and what their idea of the word "is" is. there's too many variables. To me, the reviews here have gotten to be almost to the point of being useless. Everyone is a afraid of a "NO" recomendation. To me , that fact that some of the girls all have positives shows what a bunch of liars we all are on here, as again, we all have different ideas of what a good session is and what kind of lady we like.
If you click with someone, it will be good. If you dont click, the experience will be less than what you have expected. I would assume that possibly up to 40% of the time of seeing anyone new, you dont get what you expected, but i would guess that the negative reviews dont reflect that stat. I n essence it comes down to this, what good are the reviews. If one can be honest due to fear of retaliation, or out of fear that it somehow may damage his on board persona as the greatest lover of all time ... then what good is this board.

I have seen reviews state that everything was good but the people didn't click. Maybe due to body, maybe d.t. brain maybe any other thing. I recall the recommendation was marked Yes on them. I think recommending is one thing and going back for more dates is another. Some people give a yes recommendation on a woman they will not see again. I imagine this is done mostly for the sake to let others know all was safe, what the rundown was, and perhaps for the credit to the men's area.

So, as far as any provider having yes reviews straight down the line, I think that's great!

PL & Just,

I hear what you are both saying and the reality is that a NO recommendation is and should simply be the reviewer's point of view.

As has been stated several times in this thread 'each to their own!' I find that when two people click, THAT is a beautiful thing. I feel very strongly, that if there isn't a connection but the services were good and expectations were met, that a YES is what will be shared! But at the same time if an individual is disappointed for whatever reason that a NO reflects their disappointment or dissatisfaction and this again is THEIR opinion!

What I personally find distasteful is NASTY reviews, there is no reason for that IMHO! If you can't say it truthfully and accurately without being nasty then I tend to disregard the review and my opinion of the reviewer is diminished as well!

Be honest and accurate and the YES or the NO is what you SHOULD share - but it is your opinion and another may like or dislike their experience with the same provider!

Folks again thank you for all of your contributions to this topic!

Reviews say A LOT on both accounts..( sorta).. they are important for an sp to become established. They can also be important for a gent to become established ( hmmmmmmmm very very interesting..eh?!)

As much as it would be fabulous to work in a world full of chivalry..reviews can say so much and give terrific insight to whom you may ...or may decide NOT to meet.

Reviews seem to represent the client more accurately then the sp.

Thank goodness.. there are so many decent gents still out there, they are not all A holes .

Totally agree with that.

Giving a provider my eccie handle gives her insight into my choice of sp's likes and dislikes. If all my reviews tend to be spinner type bodies or bbw bodies, a smart provider can form an opinion before she meets us guys. It tells me a lot about a provider when I have made a comment about something and she responds I saw your reviews and thought you would be happy. Not being one who toftt, I rely on this board and reviews to help me form an opinion on who I would like to meet. Being time and location limited does not help but I work around that. My reviews are almost always positive which is attributed to my reading between the reviewer lines. Sure there have been times when I don't get what I am looking for. You would be surprised some girls don't like being picked up upside down for a standing 69. It's shocking. But if the rest of the time is good for me and I get the right attention I am looking for, it's a yes review. And I can say it almost always does. Doing the research is the most important step in finding hobby happiness. When it comes to negative reviews there are many factors to consider. How long has the reviewer been a member. How many reviews have they posted and who were they. That actually goes for positive reviews as well. Reading between the lines. I wish I could get up to Canada as FF would be #1 for me.

And RocBrittany...... WHATS YOU TALKIN ABOUT GIRL. MY REVIEW OF YOU WAS SPOT ON TO WHAT HAPPENED.

Oops. All well, its too late to save my tainted reputation.

I however like many have already pointed out just speak my mind with absolutely no regard for if I'm infringing on someone's sensitive nature or not. I cross the divide often, eloquent in one review and just a plain asshole in others.

I don't tend to write many reviews anymore, not for lack of hobbying, nor for the criticism I often face; the result of my sometimes torrid writing style, but more from the standpoint of just being plain selfish. I share info with some buddies on the site in private now, enjoying the spoils without telling you lurking chicken shits a damn thing.

I'm honestly sick that maybe 30 guys write reviews, or TOFTT, while the chicken shit lurkers sit back and enjoy the feast. You see how many hits some reviews see after a "good find" is discovered? Shit, a gal might find thousands of men to see, and they will never ever contribute a damn thing.

The other peeve......guys don't write reviews because they are afraid of hurting their poor hooker ATF's feelings if they write a review of an up and comer. Think you are hurting their feelings? NO, you are maybe denting their bottom line, but so insignificantly that it almost isn't perceived at all.

Providers on this site are not your friend, your lover, your nothing, it's all bennies all the time. When the wells dry up, so do their pussies.

There ought to be a higher standard for PA credit for males. Perhaps (2) reviews of verified ladies before even granting PA, or offering others info on your UTR for the rest of us to "see" before giving out PA credit. The bar needs to be set higher. Ladies can't get "verified" without having vouces from several PA members, websites, blah blah blah; anybody can pay 20 bucks or fudge a review of some SW or some mysterious wayward hooker and get PA from our illustrious Mods.

[JohnnyCap]

It's funny to me that one member of the GOBC claimed that the accusations that info wasn't being shared hurt. Yet it seems verifiably so.

I don't care. I neither wish to join the club nor make enemies of its members. If every member of that club persuaded all the pussy they know not to see JC, there'd still be plenty left.

Thank heaven for little girls, 'cause little girls get bigger every day.

[QUOTE=gaijin1969;1052770704]I think a good value of a yes review is would the customer repeat?

For me, if services rendered were below my expectations or it wasn't my cup of tea, I'd still give a yes review with details in the ROS for YMMV. What I may like may not be what others are looking for. So for that reason I put more emphasis on attitude, location, ease of set up, and safety.

So I will give a yes as long as the date goes smoothly, is safe, and the gal makes an honest effort of trying.

I think gaijin1969 makes a good point here -- the distinction between "will you repeat" and "will you recommend to others." And perhaps it would be useful to have both those question required in the review. I may not be interested in repeating because I did not click with the provider, but if she was honest, clean, reasonably attractive, etc., others may find her fantastic. So I could inform the readers that I don't intend to repeat, but that there is nothing dangerous, fraudulent, dirty, or unattractive about this provider. Having the opportunity to reply to both those questions might result in fewer reviews being misinterpreted as being excessively positive or excessively negative. Of course this kind of distinction can be made in the ROS, but not all members can read the ROS.

I've given some yes rec's to gals I wouldn't see again. Mostly because they weren't GFE. Even though their menus were limited they were fun with what they offered so I gave them a yes thinking most guys would probably like them.

I'll admit I could do a better job of this. I've had pretty poor luck with BP so it's tough for me to get motivated to go on some talent search.

This makes some sense but I think it would have the effect of less reviews being submitted which wouldn't help the usefulness of this site.
