My ATF just took down all of her reviews on TER. It was her personal decision. She's a solid 8 or 9 on performance. However, she continues to advertise on the web. As a newbie, you would never know why she removed her reviews. There are many reasons for gaps or missing reviews. Do your research and be cautious.
Does it mean anything if a provider has not been reviewed in about 8 months? I have emailed her and she sent me a # to call; should I be warry?
No
There are many reasons why all of a sudden providers dont reviews for a while -
Either - her city/state isnt too prevalant with ter, and her reviews sit in another area of the net.
She stopped working for some months due to other things being top priority- we call this " going on hiatus "
Perhaps a friend/family member/employee got clued in on her ? ( Yes we all have families, jobs, and real lives )
Give her a call - you never know -

I am new too but I would be warry too. Who knows if she is still the same person as 8 months ago. I am a newbie too so others here might have better advice.
Nono, there is a lady here in Orlando who has incredibly high review ratings, among the best in the state.
She has advertised daily on EROS for over a year that I am aware. Unfortunately, until yesterday, her most recent TER review was over two and a half years old.
On her web site she states that she does not like "graphic" reviews so it appears her lack of more recent reviews was initiated by her.
She just got a new review yesterday (which also was outstanding) that has put her back on the top of my "wish list". Like you, the age of her reviews did impact my willingness to try to see her before this new review.
Perhaps she determined that the age of the previous reviews was limiting a significant percentage of guys who may have wanted to see her. TER reviews carry a lot of weight in many different ways.

many Ladies have regular Gentlemen they see and don't see that many new clients. I would put less concern into when the reviews were but rather who reviewed her, and if her reviews are consistant. Not being reviewed recently does not mean she isn't working or her standards have changed.
The idea that we are so apt to change, in such a way in 6 or 8 months, and you would have a very different experience, well thats for the most part silly I think.
We do have lives and careers, school and families aside from this business, we have busy lives just as you do. Many woman do not tour and are local, so there can be a great deal of reasons why she is not reviewed constantly. Low volume Ladies are typically reviewed less. And some Ladies prefer not to be reviewed often as well.
Play safe all....

Nicole, I agree totally with most of what you said. I also know of a couple ladies who are as you described, they have a book of regular clients and do not actively seek out new clients.
I was attempting to show that in many cases it is the woman who initiates the lack of current TER reviews and that this is not necessarily a bad thing. However, timeliness of reviews is important in my mind.
The only thing I differ with you is that on the example I used, the lady's most current review was over 2 1/2 years old, not six or eight months. A LOT can change in 2 1/2 years with all of us.
Would you use a reference from a lady who last saw a guy over 2 1/2 years ago or would the length of time cause you to ask additional questions? That is the point I was trying to make.

Always be cautious. Do more research. call her.
My ATF just took down all of her reviews on TER. It was her personal decision. She's a solid 8 or 9 on performance. However, she continues to advertise on the web.

As mentioned, there are a number of perfectly reasonable explanations. You may want to do a bit more due diligence, but I don't think you should have any concerns other than it is possible her service level has changed. At a minimum, when you call mention ask if she has not been working because she hasn't been reviewed on TER for a while. Don't pry beyond that, but this is a reasonable question.
Other things to increase your comfort level:
1. Has she been advertising? Where?
2. Is it the same e-mail address as in the review? If not, google it.
3. Is the phone number the same as in the review? If not, google it.
4. Is she reviewed on other websites?
If you make the appt, make sure it is the woman you were expecting to see when you arrive. That may be your biggest concern; a B&S.
And of course write a review for her once you've met her, regardless of the experience.
I would be cautious... maybe check if her picts are current...
But there are lots of valid reasons...
Personal Relationships
family
illness
gone UTR (my ATF is UTR)
etc
Q to the ladies: Would it be fair to politely ask why the gap?
If reasonable, I'd not let that stop me.

that she may have been only seeing regulars. If that is true, and they have already reviewed her, and if they review her again, it would only appear as updating the previous review and might not change the date. They may not want to do it again, knowing they cannot get VIP days for repeat reviews on same girl.
Other advice is good, if you really want to see her, call her. If possible, check other review sites for her. She may have reviews elsewhere.
Swim
is there (meaning she has multiple reviews from reviewers who have a history of reviews), you may want to PM a few of these reviewers to see if they know what may have happened.
Another option is to scan the regional board in her area to see how active she has been.
Thanks all for the help. I called her number and left a message (as directed by her) and am awaiting her call back. I let you know what happens.
Thx
