While others go by the literal TER descriptions.
So it gets confusing for some. Also, I believe if a guy isn't VIP, he can't see the other scores, and just posts his numbers and - done! Perhaps if TER went by different descriptions, they would be less confusing. But then again, I'm sure it would confuse everyone. I dealt with my first Yelp responses to lower scores. Made me feel for what guys go through when they have to face the sellers again lol. Yikes!! Regarding looks for escorts vs ladies in the real world, I am not sure how much of a difference there is in level of good looks. If a ten in looks means air brushed magazine models, those don't exist. And one in a lifetime based on the real world could actually mean "this is what I would get if I didn't pay once in a lifetime." That's my take, anyway.-- Modified on 1/29/2015 2:04:45 PM
My last review was glowing in context. He liked me, I liked him. We hung out, had a great time and then the scores are so mediocre, at best! I just don,t get it! I realize I should not let it bother me, but it does and I simply do not get the correlation to the review and the scores.
You guys are entitled to review as you see fit, I get that, but should'nt they make sense! I am baffled!

Most people will read the review itself and its "glowing" as you so eloquently put it. So it shouldn't reflect on you negatively.
P.S.
Prepare for the sh*tstorm you are about to receive from the guys claiming to dislike when girls complain about their reviews lol
As a matter of fact, I always read the reviews that have low scores first. If the review is glowing, then I just ignore the score. Plus, we all know a TER 9 on looks is probably a 7 in the real world for most hobbyists. The guy probably grades on the real world scale.
- This was his first review in about 4 years;
- He only has 6-7 reviews total; and
- His other reviews are universally low (I didn't read any to see if the mismatch between description & score was common).
So I can understand your feelings being hurt, but I wouldn't worry about it overly much. An experienced hobbyist would look at your reviews, see the overwhelming majority of very good scores, perhaps do what I did & check his other reviews, & then totally disregard the one in question. And you have a large enough body of work that this one won't nudge your average score down a bit.
Perhaps you should make it a practice to look briefly at a new proposed client's prior reviews before you agree to meet him & when you see a pattern like this, just walk away.
I always felt that that was not a good way to proceed, but I guess I was wrong! Should not judge someone by their review history but this proves me wrong! Lol! Lesson learned!
Angelina I have never had the pleasure of meeting you but I always assumed when my references were being checked that my scoring was being looked into also? With the amount of great reviews you have I wouldn't loose any sleep over it. Most guys would not take one bad review as gospel!!
The narrative of the review--the part that really counts--is good, in fact, glowing.
But turning someone down because of low scores? Maybe just mention your concern.
When I see some lower scores, it increases my estimation of the provider. Perfect scores indicate someone controlling the scoring, as in refusing to see someone who doesn't score high enough.
Once when I requested an appointment, the provider wrote back and said she was reluctant ... because I didn't seem to throw out a lot of 10s. She was trying to get Miss TER of the Month or some nonsense that no one pays attention to. I think my scoring tends to be high--I screen carefully, and see women that I'm confident I will really like. But what does it say if everyone is a 10?
This is nothing to worry about. In the days when the numbers appeared to non-VIP, maybe a concern. But to such an established provider, a blip, and once someone reads the narrative--in fact, those scores will prompt a reading of the narrative--it speaks only to the good.
does make me wonder what it would take for one of these guys to put up a 8 or 9 much less a 10. Since you have the outstanding reputation you do, it isnt going to hurt you. Best to just move on...lol
I know girls who have contacted these guys. They usually claim ignorance and say they thought a 6 or 7 was a good score..much better than they gave Suzie Q which was a 4...Ignoring the review is probably your best move Babe though appreciate this sure didnt make your morning..
You are still off the charts in skill and professionalism and the best in these parts as anyone with any modicum of knowledge will attest..Not to worry..lol...
way to knock down mediocre reviews is with a string of great ones.
By posting here about it, you're bringing it to the attention of people who might otherwise not know (or care) about it. In other words you're just amplifying mediocre scores.
And as others have already said, experienced mongers know how to read reviews in context.
said previous reviews being (on average) about 8/9
And then... he jumps in with a 6/7?
I don't think it's you who is baffled, but the reviewer who is!!
Ah well, I think the other posters have already pointed out the obvious about this guy's perspective on the women he chooses to see, and how most of us can identify an outlier with ease.
But hey... he says "I'll definitely see her again!". At least you have something to look forward to! ;
...if he thinks he'll get another chance.
Maybe not. He described having a fantastic time. And Angelina thought they had an enjoyable visit, too. From that perspective, he may desire another visit, and she could grant his wish. After all, they had a memorable time. And even if he were to write another review (unlikely that he would), I sincerely doubt he would score her lower than this one. It would also give Angelina an opportunity to "educate him" on her perspective on scoring.
I am another one who is not deterred by seeing a low scores with a very good review as is here. A preponderance of 10's make me suspect a DQ, and I try my best to stay clear of them. The reviews that I really find interesting and particularly helpful in deciding to see someone are ones just like this (lower scores with a narrative of an awesome time). And if the scores on a review like this one are lower than the reviews given by others, I consider the review and disregard the scores.
I don't understand your guy's scoring system, but people have different scales. His scale is depressing, but anyone who reads his reviews and sees the scores will know he scores low all the time.
Or he's dyslexic and meant to put a 9 down. You can always email and ask...
My review obviously made no mistake on the numbers lol. And there's no confusing in his description. But the ones who think their perception of beauty is more advanced, therefore more justified than the 40+ other reviewers, well... We know they're reviewing themselves, not us. Lol
Ive heard you're smokin hot from some mutuals, sucks that the scores mess with our average, but if I were a female hobbyist, that review would not steer me away from booking.

It's tough when you're reading someone's assessment of you. But from my perspective, where I'm not the subject, his review doesn't seem that bad. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and he just didn't behold. I'd look at it as a lack of connection related to taste, but he is complimentary in other facets.
And in the context of the other reviews, a blip.
Being reviewed in anything makes one vulnerable. Sometimes reviewers are mean-spirited. This one doesn't seem mean-spirited. Really, it isn't coming across as negative as calling you "ugly."
I'm sure that at least one person was not blown away by Cleopatra or Helen of Troy, but history still ranks them as beauties.
I agree, and if you read my reviews they probably give the sense that I either don't understand the TER way of scoring or I am just a D'bag as you say!!!
In reality for me a 7 in looks (real world score) is a beautiful woman, a 8 is very beautiful a 9 or 10 is Miss Universe!!! Most of my scores are 7 or near as I have yet to see a Miss Universe in my mind...That doesn't mean I thought the women I have seen are nasty or ugly!
Funny thing is I was taught a lesson by Angelina not too long ago that here on TER the scoring is skewed....I had been scoring what I felt real world scores should be when in fact I was wrong all along. Personally I never meant to detract from anyone's scores, looks, performance or livelihood due to my perceived low scores, it never once crossed my mind that my 7's and 8's were low scores for the women I had seen.... Like this client Angelina speaks of I too gave glowing reviews of many I have seen but only scored them with a horrific 7 in looks....
Personally I was taught a lesson about TER and its inflated reviews....DONT take the number scores as gospel, read the reviews, they will give you a MUCH better idea of the quality of girl then the score ever will!
....i'll keep my answer short-ish mainly because i'm tired but a 7 is imo not a low score for performance or looks. And actually I'd call a '7' decent or kinda good even but just not amazing/stellar. 8 is definitely very good. In a nutshell I think if you write a review with glowing kick-ass content like what Angelina is going on about it wouldn't hurt if the numbers matched in kind.
Also ... this is not a dig at you (I just see it far too much) but I think a "real world" 7 vs a "TER 7" is really stupid and whoever came up with that should be smacked (open hand). A lot (gonna say a giant chunk) of beauty queens including Miss Universe's are naturally probably not above a 7 hot without getting all dolled up either.
-- Modified on 1/30/2015 10:33:48 PM
The guy thought you looked nice (6) and that the performance was hot (7). What would you have liked the scores to have been? I have not written many reviews myself, so I am curious what you think.
He probably thinks that 5 is the true average. Actually 70% is a C, which is average. That's the reason why I advocate giving a letter grade for performance.
As for the score for looks, it could be kept as numbers but I would think the average should be a 7.
Or he is just an asshole. :
as others have said his scores are always somewhat the same. To me, it balances out those 10/10 that may have been exaggerated and accounts for individual taste. You may have liked your encounter but to him it was meh.
On a side note How can a guy have 17 "once in a life time" experiences? Makes no sense
While others go by the literal TER descriptions.
So it gets confusing for some.
Also, I believe if a guy isn't VIP, he can't see the other scores, and just posts his numbers and - done!
Perhaps if TER went by different descriptions, they would be less confusing. But then again, I'm sure it would confuse everyone.

-- Modified on 1/29/2015 2:04:45 PM
and as for the 17 once in a lifetimes... I guess if you see 17 ladies only once each, it's automatically once in a lifetime for each?
So much for finding a single scale everyone can agree upon.... 
Each of those 17 women he's paid to fuck over the past six years are women who look way beyond what he (thinks he) could get if he didn't do P4P, and simply tried to get laid from out there in real life land - where every other guy is trying to get free pussy at... His 17 10's (mixing in a few hotties at 8's, 9's, etc,) are scored like this:
After Each woman, he thinks, "There I go again. I may get a girl like that once in a lifetime IRL. Now I can pay to have those once in a lifetime opportunities every week!"
I've also done regular adjustments on my attitude on life. Having a good attitude on life makes things brighter, prettier, and easier. Daily training the mind to stay calm in calamity, enjoy work when work may be boring and drawn out, (usually desk jobs,) or choosing to wish well on someone who's been talking shit about me and I find out... Or other much heartier balls of stress that we won't discuss lol. Disciplining our self to think positively on a regular basis builds the soul and mind to taste and appreciate things much better.
A chef will taste and appreciate flavors a typical person won't notice in their food. Because the chef has trained his pallet to recognize distinct flavors day in and day out, and used that distinction to prepare some great dishes. Same with life. If I train myself to magnify nasty things, hurtful moments, or tiny flaws, eventually that's all I am going to see. I've trained my pallet, (my mind,) to recognize those things by continual patterns in thinking and reacting.
People get annoyed and say it's dumb for me to stop and look at a bird, pet a dog, or tell someone their shoes look nice. But recognizing small signs of beauty makes life so beautiful and tasty, I prefer to not notice those who tell me or others to "get it right" and start pointing out ugliness.
There's a time and a place for improving flaws, but then step back and see the whole picture, as well as the amazing things sure helps life become easier to deal with. And I'm sure an attitude like that would make hobbying much more fulfilling. It does for me.
P.S. There are many grammatical flaws here, but I typed that whole damn thing with one finger. So I say I did pretty good lol.

...than the numerical score.
While I might look at the score as a reference, what is written in the review means much to more.
I may look at a reviewers history to see if we have seen many of the same ladies and I compare a reviewers score & reviews to my experience, but I don't too much value in the scores by themselves.
I definitely rate myself 10's across the bored...don't believe me try for yourself!
You guys are entitled to review as you see fit, I get that, but should'nt they make sense! I am baffled!

My first two reviews were scored lower than I would score them now... I didn't have VIP until after posting them. Without the context of reading how other people are reviewing providers, you look at the TER descriptions, weigh make a 6/7 seem like pretty darn good. This guy probably didn't have VIP and lacked the proper context to give you the rating you deserved.
in appearance when you know that it is an inflated score. If that doesn't bother you, then a lower score shouldn't matter either. Then if you take a look at his other review scores, he is not exactly generous in the #'s department.
Most of us can read the actual reviews and can extrapolate what seems accurate or not. Isn't that what really counts? The #'s these days are becoming more and more useless as time progresses. Back in the old days scores were generally much lower and you probably remember those days as well as I.
Shrug it off darlin'. It's not a big deal.
I never complain about a 10, absolutely not! Lol! I was not really complaining, just perplexed that's all! It was early and I got my panties in a wad! I admit it! Some whine with that coffee
But Sambuca and a Molson will due just fine
In my opinion you shuold have higher scores than given but if you look at how he's scored in his other reviews you're right in there. Not sure if he's new and wants to make sure he has room to grade up if someone really hits if off with him or is trying to be true to the guidance or is just one of those stingy/critical people.
I know when I check the review and see lower scores like this I do check how the grading for other providers was done. I also tend to pay more attention to what's written and then what the girl provides in their own profile/ad site.
You'll always be my first and I'll always love you for it
personally, I'd recommend not posting about individual reviews, unless they are obviously fraudulent or something.
When I see a lady calling-out an individual reviewer for a low score, it makes me pause before considering seeing her. Makes me think, "what if I say something in a review that she doesn't like, or give a score that's a little low, will she call me out on the boards?"
Just something to think about.
(Then again, a post like this may also stir up other interest I suppose, so maybe that outweighs any potential downside? Oh well, what the hell do I know, lol)

While you may perceive Angelina's post to be a threAD, I politely beg to differ.
Angelina is a top-notch, well-regarded and respected lady who prides herself in offering the best she has to offer to her gentleman friends.
She indicated that she and the friend in question had a great time together; however, as others have indicated, he's extremely hard-core when it comes to grading. (Hmmm, maybe he's one of my former college English professors!!)
From a lady's perspective, I feel that Angelina made this post because, as a provider, she cares about the reputation and the service she provides. While she may have many favorable reviews, it's that one less-than-stellar review that bothers her the most for it certainly does not reflect the amazing lady she truly is. I know I would feel the same way as she is currently feeling.
Please note that I do not personally know Angelina, nor am I a female "shill" for her! But I have been on the boards long enough to know that Angelina has the best of intentions and I do not think for one single stinkin' second that her post was a threAD.
So Angelina, if you happen to see this, please don't let the turkeys get you down. You're much too good for that!
I'll step off my soapbox for the time being. Have a great weekend, everyone!!

I've wondered about this as well. I mean you are not the only one this has happened to. It's actually quite common.
I've seen a lot of review histories with pages of 8-10s. The a 6 or 7 pops up. My first thought is what the lady might have done to piss the guy off....especially since everyone else seems to like her.
Then I read the review and the guy is bat shit crazy about the lady.
On the flip side I've seen ladies with a page of 7's then a dude gives her a 9.
Makes ya wonder. I guess everybody has their perspectives of the meaning of scoring.
BTW....I in no way saw your post as a complaint. Just bafflement.
in a sea of 9's and 10s. If I see a provider's profile and they're mostly high ratings, a 7 would stand out and is usually the one I go to first. So if he wrote good stuff in there, it'll probably get noticed more with a lower score. Sounds a bit counterintuitive, but it's true.
... and everyone reads reviews on either end (+/-) of the range, but assume the truth is in the middle -- with the rest of your reviews. My 2 c/
