No client is going to like to hear the sound of that.

Instead respectfully request your clients to write a review by explaining how helpful that would be to you, and incidentally joining TER and writing reviews helps all involved with the hobby.

Hold their arm in both your hands, look into their eyes,  and flutter your eyelashes while you say this.  Honest, it works.

How old is too old???

I have recently seen a surge of new clients asking why no new reviews and requesting face pics? I don't demand reviews after a visit, I never have; the guys I see have been around since the beginning and I see a new client every month. I engage in the hobby as a hobby, I have family and another job; so being full time, advertising, and touring is NOT and never been my thing. Still OKing guys I've seen on the verification sites. And, I do contribute to the boards and attend M&G functions, so I guess I'm still relevant. LOL!  

Should I let these inquires go to the trash bin or should I take the time to reply? Is this another way a of being contacted by a lurker aka timewaster? Should I start demanding reviews from all new clients eventhough they use TER as a resource and don't review? Should my regular clients start writing reviews? What to do?  

Thanks in advance for the feedback. :)

Your reviews are getting a little old, but if you're well known in your area they would be resent enough for me. If you don't show your face in your ads or on a website, don't send pictures of it out to strangers who could post them in places you would rather not have them posted.
 Demanding reviews could backfire on you, the reviews might not be as good as you would like them to be if you are demanding them. A better route would be to ask your regulars if they will write you a new review.

But I get what you are saying. No not demand like threaten, but just like demand like a direct ask them to write and submit the review. Some say it's laziness, others say it's selfishness... They would hate for me to get too busy for them... BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!  

But again, are recent reviews the only way to show a provider is credible? What about UTR girls that refuse reviews?

whom I know, or similar method.

These are gals that see less than one guy a week in many cases.  They have day jobs but like to dabble for a little side cash now and then, and it's a way for them to get their jollies too.

It a whole different world, really.

You say you have regulars and you see one new client a month, and you seem like you are happy with that volume of business. New reviews shouldn't matter for you, unless you are trying to increase volume or attract these new guys who are asking for them.

Like I said, it was just a new thing that I had inquiries questioning my validity among other things recently. I take my inquiries seriously since about 80% end up being great clients. No worries, though, if there is nothing wrong then there isn't anything wrong. You have to admit, in this business, on the ladies side, being hyper-critical is crucial to survival.

want to start by updating your website.

Website and pricing is always updated. Selfies are added to the site sporadically, and my face pics are locked, but updated pro photos are on the way. Question: If a provider doesn't change her appearance, and is part time, is it reasonable and affordable to spend $1000+ on new pics all the time? I've gotten screwed using amateur photographers. Sorry I can't justify that nor send out a face pic. If he's that uncomfortable, well you know what...  I've never gotten a negative response to my appearance, and I do attend all M&G's in my area so I can be judged in the flesh, I did mention that, my post was about the age of reviews and how much of a concern it was when inquiring about spending time with a lady. Thanks for your input though, will take it into consideration

well reviewed ladies who I have seen multiple times ask me to write a current review for them.  If I can find the time to do so, I will do this because these ladies whom I am referring to have given me many great times.  WINK WINK.
