Clients out there...out of all your reviews...what percent of those you have reviewed would you recommend without hesitation to your fellow hobbiests? My answer is a paltry 1.6666666%.
as any recommendation would have to take into account what kind of experience the guy/gal is looking for.
But in general, I'd recommend about 80% of the still-active providers I've reviewed, without any hesitation other than with consideration for what I mentioned. But there's several I haven't reviewed whom I'd also recommend.

Knots I don't mean to knock your post at all...honestly I'm interested in hearing a wide range of viewpoints...when I look at your review history we have several lovely women in common and evidently you would give the thumbs up whereas I wouldn't based on that old percentage. Not saying you are wrong and neither am I...hope to hear from some other Eskimo brothers.
... we only have 2 in common (who are still active). And you said in your reviews you'd recommend both of them. Change your mind?
I am surprised, based on your high review scores for several ladies, that you'd recommend such a small percentage of them. But we learn more over time, yes? For example, I can't recommend one provider I reviewed positively because of a pattern of NCNS behavior I learned about after I reviewed her.
Or 5 out of 24 women reviewed total. I know that some of those 24 are out of the business, but all 5 of the ones I would recommend without hesitation are still active.
I'm okay with my percentage. This is the hobby; it's hooking up with a complete stranger. Of course you might not click with a person you only just met. But hopefully you do find something that makes you want to repeat or recommend, or you just get your nut, say thank you, and move on.
Also, even though my number is only 5, it doesn't mean I hated the ones I wouldn't recommend without hesitation. There are a few I would still recommend, but only to certain hobbyists, or I'd recommend them with reminders of what you might contend with.
I've not reviewed a lot of ladies I've seen but will assume I'm not recommending any of them.
Out of my 24 reviews, I'd say yes for 4 of them with 2 others I'd like to say yes but because of certain issues, I wouldn't recommend.
What I find interesting is that I've never repeated with any of these 4...yet. Likely to do so with only 1, possibly 2 of them.
My number is inflated due to my lack of reviews.
I stopped writing reviews when I switched to (mostly) well reviewed ladies.
If you see me post a review with 9's and 10's. Go see her immediately.
I research carefully only seeing providers that have been reviewed by hobbyists who's reviews I trust.
... "Verrrry interesting!"
There appears to be a disconnect between what's said in reviews and what reviewers really think about the providers they've reviewed. We see on the one hand lots of reviews with phrases like "highly recommended" and "go see her NOW!" But most people who responded to this thread gave a low percentage--sometimes an implausibly low percentage--for the number of providers they'd recommend without hesitation to others.
If there were reservations about recommending a provider, shouldn't those have been mentioned in the reviews?
Or is it like it is in my case: that I learned things about a small number of providers after I reviewed them that would cause me to hesitate to recommend them today? Very understandable. But for nearly every provider a guy has recommended in his reviews? That seems odd to me.
Does this mean reviews are pretty much worthless in finding providers who would be recommended by fellow hobbyists?
It is interesting.
I think in my case as I've seen more ladies and experienced more, what I want, like, and recommend changes.
1st session - Good massage or so I think. Recommend her.
2nd session - Very good/great massage. Really recommend her.
3rd session - Massage (any level of skill lol) and HJ. Recommend her. Go back the next day.
4th session - HJ and topless. Recommend her.
5th session - HJ and nude. Recommend her.
6th session - BJ. Recommend her. Ask her out.
7th session - FS. Recommend her.
As you can see, as experiences change...
I wouldn't recommend all of the ladies after going through something like this. Maybe only one or two...
I suppose the percentage I quoted may be skewed if you consider the providers listed in my review history that are no longer available. But when I reviewed my history and thought back in my mind if I would today recommend (and yes I get plenty of PM's from clients who want more 411 on someone I reviewed or to network and get recommendations on others to see) I came up with the percentage I mentioned, taking into account if all those providers were still active. I stand by every word of all my reviews. Otherwise I would amend them after seeing the woman repeatedly and finding the normal session others could expect was drastically different that the one I described.
I agree with you knots that there are several I have seen that after my review I know more or have tried to book and was ignored and/or canceled on multiple times that I can no longer say I would recommend. Sometimes you learn more about her lifestyle, history in the hobby, or affiliations that would turn you off from making further appointments.
The few I would recommend are really top notch providers and people. I don't find it as odd as you I guess. A month changes things...let alone 6 months or years. It highly speaks of a few local women though that after months, years, I would not hesitate to still say see her or her or her without hesitation. Reviews are a snapshot in time and yes I give greater weight to recent reviews, good or bad, against older reviews because as we all know...life happens and things change.
I posted a question I thought might be an interesting discussion topic. No harm intended to any client nor provider alike. Enjoy the evening...tomorrow is Monday after all. 
... 1 / 34 = 2.94%. Which is greater than 1.67%. Heck, even 2 / 100 is greater than 1.67%.
Have a great Monday!
As we all know, review scores are a combination of two scores answering two questions. 1. Is she hot? 2. Did you have a good time? True, a reviewer can say "I will repeat" or "I definitely recommend" in the review (and I have), but the review should be taken as a snapshot of a moment in time. There are women on my list who I've written glowing reviews about and then after a few appointments, I just move one for one reason or another. But those scores are still there and can still have valuefor another hobbyist. He doesn't have to know whether or not I still recommend the provider, but he does know I think she's hot and that I had a good time. If my opinion meshes with those of other hobbyists, he can know this might be the provider he's looking for.
There are risks in the hobby. Dire ones like you might get arrested, lesser ones like you might not have a good time and throw your money away. This site mitigates both risks. It provides a lot of information, but it can't provide all you need. You have to look at the numbers, read the reviews, and take your chances.
Well put and I believe I said some of the same in my clarification post. Thanks for posting very well said.
That I've seen several of the ladies you've seen as well as many of Minnesota's Top 100 and Top 20 ladies. But even if I'd recommend them to everyone, seeing them once may be enough for me.
After all hobbyists have wide ranges of what they are looking for in appearance, price, menu, etc. I've seen a fair number of providers who I've seen multiple times and never had any problems with but does that mean I would recommend them without hesitation? I've also received recommendations to see some providers but for various reasons I never considered them seriously even though their reputations were excellent.
If I take the most restricted interpretation of the phrase then the answer is 0%; even my most favorite providers over the years aren't going to be everybody's cup of tea.
If I take it to mean I really enjoyed seeing her and never had or heard of any significant problems with her then we are talking about 20% of all reviewed providers, including ones who have been delisted. Most of the others weren't bad experiences but they just never warranted a repeat or more than repeat. If we are talking about ones who are still active to the best of my knowledge then we are up to around 80%; I've been much more selective in recent years and mostly repeat.
I am glad to have heard your perspective
Well from your reviews you have only given out 2 9's so flip a coin on which one of those you liked better and I can probably guess - otherwise for me I recommend almost all the girls I have seen since 2014 as I will never toftt.
