As you can see from my reviews, I have only really written reviews on Women that I've REALLY enjoyed. I have seen many, many more providers, but as you point out, felt bad posting a less than stellar review. I guess I've seen it as a karma kind of thing, plus who knows, maybe it was me! Maybe I should have written the bad/so-so ones too. It just felt like I was being mean.
I wrote a review for my ATF because she's new on here and asked me to... But I really hesitate to write them for the other girls I've seen.
For me, it's because I know how important the reviews are for their success and if I didn't have an amazing time, I don't want to make things harder for them. Sure maybe she wasn't my type, but that doesn't means someone else won't have a great experience, right? If she was legitimately bad at her job or had fake photos or something, I'd review to save other guys the trouble.
But how do the rest of you feel about holding back on writing mediocre reviews? What about you providers? Am I helping or hurting business that way
I trust more the reviewer that has different experiences/scores. If there are only a limited number of reviews with all the same scores, it becomes hard to extrapolate much useful information.
Not sure that is any sort of help.

See, you and I happen to disagree on this point.
I look at your review history and basically dismiss it. That many 10/10 reviews - with a sprinkling of some lowly 9/9s - gives me no basis by which to compare. Granted, you have seen many top-notch providers so I would expect your scores to be skewed toward the higher end. But without some offsetting, less-than-perfect experiences, I have no sense of your range of opinion. Hey, I have seen a few of the same providers that you have, but i still have yet to report a 10/10. I had great experiences, just not perfectly mind-blowing.
To paraphrase someone smarter than me: "If everyone is outstanding, then no one really is."
Then again, this is just one guy's opinion
We got together, had a nice time but we weren't an exact fit. I was a little too animated for his taste I think. lol. Anyhow, he was a perfect gentleman and kept our visit close to the vest. I appreciated it. We're still friendly and drop each other a line from time to time.
On a side note, when I have a so-so time with someone I truly take it to heart. I take pride in my job and feel that it's my responsibility to make sure anyone I spend time with has an enjoyable experience. On occasion where I feel it's necessary I've been known to offer "make up" sessions so that I'm given the opportunity to give it another go and to correct what might have gone awry. I just think it's the right thing to do.

... so you're definitely helping by writing them. Also, TER was founded on the concept of review writing. The discussion boards etc were always secondary to the reviews --- at least when the site was first launched. With regard to you thinking you may not be helping someone by writing a mediocre review we should define what mediocre means to you. If it means a 7 or less on someone's review you're probably correct about not helping their business. However, if mediocre means you had a reasonably nice time, the lady you met was clean and kind and that you felt comfortable and well taken care of by her (an 8/8 or above) then I think you'd be helping her. Guys don't always look for girls who say they're willing to do handstands down I-275 during rush hour traffic; A lot of times they want to know they can trust the person they're meeting to be professional and to be who they say they are in their online advertising.
Happy Friday everyone!!!

I write a review for the same reason I read them,,, I want to know if the provider is for real, a scammer or worth while. I don't write them to better their business, that is called an advertisement not a review. I hate the fact that more guys are not writing them or are afford to afraid the providers won't see you or what ever,, I think it is a duty to help others,, he'll their are guys getting jacked, and not in a sexual way,, and they could have been helped if the guy before wasn't afraid to talk.. I look at BP and then try and find reviews on these girls, 90% don't have reviews,, I know Damm well that many girls have been scene by some one... grow a nut, write a review, and tell the truth,, isn't that the point. Hesitate -what, are u serious...
...even if the gal has plenty of reviews, I'll add my experience. Why? Because I believe in the system and have benefited from the reviews of others. They have provided valuable info which has led to many great experiences. I have only had one mediocre experience and that is because I got lazy and didn't do my homework.
So as long as you do your research, you really don't have to worry about writing about a bad experience, because you won't have one. BTW, I did write a review of that one mediocre experience. Sometimes we have to share some unpleasant truths, but to ignore it is doing a disservice to both the lady and the other men here.
occasion there has been a provider that requested that I not write a review. As long as the experience is a good one, I will honor her request. If she is below standard in appearance or performance, then I will write a review to inform others.
The system only works when reviewers write reviews to help other mongers. What if only reviews of great restaurants were written and not the average ones? No help then is there.
and in addition would like to add that the mediocre reviews also help providers, such as myself. When I am screening a gentleman who writes reviews, I like to look at the positive as well as the negative reviews that he writes. This tells me what he likes, and if we are a good match, as well as giving me some clues to make his experience a more memorable one.
Also, as a more mature provider I seldom get 10's...especially in appearance. I am quite happy with the 8's and 9's I get, as well as an occasional 7. Reviews put me up in the "new reviews" section and inevitably increase my business. I seldom ask for reviews, but am very happy when I get them.
