In response to some recent bad reviews:

[Jacquie]

Not that it's anyone's business here, but that "DAWG" shouldn't have to come forward. He was scheduling with me. He expressed concerns over a few points. He did not go into detail, so it's not like he copied and pasted the review to me. Though, you all should be reminded that even if you have BCD access and can white out things, not only can one figure things out based off of context clues, this is also still a public forum. Just like on Facebook when you make things "private," it can still be accessed with very little effort-- either by word of mouth or by other means. I don't even post in ladies BCD for this reason. If I have a concern, I contact the ladies directly.

You should also be reminded that I definitely have an idea of what's contained in what cannot be seen, because, um, I was there. So, there's no surprises.

The point is, I do provide good service. I have received tons of offers from earnest gentlemen who enjoyed their time with me to write me a review, but I prefer to actually keep THAT bcd. I guess I will have to make amends with that rule to provide EVIDENCE of that.

I'm not saying Junction Rod is a bad person nor was I "shitting all over him," but I am saying just like with good reviews, there was a bit of embellishment. Hell, before I saw that thread, I was actually in the middle of sending him an email to offer him his money back. I didn't want to provide another service, so the next best thing was in order.

so you admit it was a bad session on your part? So whats the point of this thread then exactly? You say it was bad and your fault thus offering a refund, he says it was bad and your fault, so it seems you are both in agreement as to the fact that it was bad and that it was in fact due to you and not he. No?

The smartest thing that a provider can do if she gets a bad review is to do or say Nothing!
In a matter of a day or two, the review makes it down to page 2 and in a matter of a week or two the review makes it to page 3 or 4.
By November the review is buried on page 10 or 11. Why rehash it? It isnt even an issue until you make it into an issue.
Now this thread will go on and on for the next few days until one of the mods has to 'lock' it. Arguing about it is pointless. Let it die out. No one will win here. Let it die out. Or should I play that game we all played in Elementary school......next one to reply to this thread is an Asshole

That's not the point though. To further clarify, saying that my hygiene is questionable is not the case. We didn't have good chemistry, sure. Our parts didn't fit, sure. But I do have HUMAN feelings, so I did feel bad about the chemistry being off. I was working to correct my actions before I saw that. I think you're forming your opinions without entirely knowing what's going on.

I can take constructive criticism. I can take a little coaching. And, I knew leaving that session that I was not entirely happy with the way it went.

Let me remind you again that I do this, because it's fun, not to be "shit on." I wasn't trying to be negative.

I will continue forth and provide good service. I hope to meet some of you soon and continue providing to my regulars.

[Outdoorsman]

What I find many people do not do is allow others to formulate their own opinions, cuz you know what, that's what is gonna happen anyway. Explaining or blaming others never, at least in my experience, never helps. Apologies are usually good but an apology with the word "but" in it IMHO is not an apology but an explanation - "I'm Sorry, but you...." No apology IMHO.

Most people, to include myself, get defensive when accused of something. The difference in true professionalism is how one handles that self indulgence to defend one's service. I earn living based upon word of mouth only. And do I satisfy ever client? no I do not, I am human and do not always perform at peak levels. I learn from my mistakes and do as suggested here, learn from my past and move forward, just me. Seems to be working for me, I have too many clients right now, lol.

One review doe snot make or constitute a reputation, do not sweat the small stuff. Move forward and learn what you can, just a suggestion.

[VeronicaMoore]

Jacquie... you can't win in situations like this. Something has been posted, and whether it is true, half true or completely untrue, there's nothing you can do about it.


If you ignore it, you're pretty much "admitting" that there was an issue by not defending yourself while speculation and allegations continue to fly. If you "refudiate" (lol) it, you're "a whiny drama queen" and are getting yourself scratched off of "to-do lists" all over America.

There's really nothing you can do about it anyway right now, so don't even pay it any mind.

[LAVixian]

I agree with outsdoorsmen and veronica. Any way you look at it, you can't win it, and a few bad reviews really won't hurt you in the long run. Yeah, it sucks girl. we all have bad days, and most of us understand. You'll be fine. Good luck
