I have thought many times about leaving reviews, and I love to write so it would probably be a lot of fun.  But I don't want to risk the repercussions of someone associating me with my screen name and reading detailed descriptions of what I do on my dates.  I also feel that those details should stay between the provider and me.  Many providers have told me that they're not thrilled with so much private detail being published in their reviews, and I know that many are "YMMV" and the experience may not be the same with every client.  No one has ever asked me to write a review for them.

On the other hand, I am on P411 with many OKs and I usually schedule my dates on there.  I would never expect to pass screening with only my non-review TER status.

I would ask the guys who don't like to write reviews, "Do you read them, and do you find them to be helpful to you?"

As for me, I have written a review for every girl I've met except on the two occasions when I've been asked not to. I don't especially like writing them. For one thing, they tend to be repetitive, since I'm a creature of habit, and I tend to go through the same sequence of activities with every girl. I know that some girls are a bit embarrassed by the graphic detail, but I've also been thanked by providers for writing extremely positive reviews that happened to be very graphic. I've had some reviews rejected because they weren't graphic enough.  

That said, I get an enormous amount of value from reviews by other hobbyists. It would be so easy to waste a lot of time and money on girls who are not what I'm looking for, and the reviews have reduced those risks almost, but not quite, to zero. So, when guys don't write reviews they are cheating the rest of us out of information that makes the hobby much more rewarding.

and I am hardly "unverifiable" my handle is known better than any of these guys with hundreds of reviews, so sorry, but your theory does not hold water.

I don't have a bit of problems scheduling with the ladies. I am a member of P 411 with dozens of okays, and that's all I need

if you can't find out information, & aren't comfortable in meeting with him, don't.  Why chance it, IMHO, it ain't worth the risk.  I always tell friends that are new to the business, never put yourself in a position that you are unsure of who is going to walk in the door.  Do your homework.  If you can't find out information on someone, then pass them by.  Not worth the risk.

BTW, most reviewers ARE NOT whitelisted.  

Oh, & I don't give out ANY information, don't need to at this point.   Someone who asks for references, I tell them to google my email address, and see where that leads them.  And I tell them to join this site.  

Just my $.02

I was merely getting to a point where as what do you expect when some random guy calls or emails you and you doesn't want to divulge ANY information, do you really trust a woman that doesn't have a reputable presence & reviews?(It's the same thing) It's really common sense. I'm talking about the men that don't want to give anything & are NOT on p 411 or similar.
I can't even tell you how many times a guy has told me his TER handle and then when it came down to verifying him here he was really just stealing someones name and couldn't prove anything.
I really don't understand why some many posts become a bitch session, we all have opinions and our reasons but can't something just be discussed on a normal mature level and try to make these discussions worth reading maybe joining with sensible replies that make a better community/hobby.

I'm guilty of not leaving reviews, but I'm verified through another site. For me, TER is where I research ladies and the other site is where they can research me. I realize I owe a debt to all the guys who leave reviews (Thanks!) and have thought about writing some, but like someone else replied, my reviews would likely be redundant and I'm typically visiting ladies that have pages of reviews already. If a provider ever requested a review from me, I'd happily write one. Maybe I shouldn't assume that a well reviewed provider doesn't need another, too?

I have contributed a small number of reviews to TER (18 since 2012) and I do believe that it's worthwhile to both contribute them and read them  I also contribute them on other sites.

I do a lot my "hobbying" outside the state and the country so only some of my reviews are of local ladies.  I try to be fair, thorough and respectful in my writing. I contribute reviews partly so that I can get temporary VIP member status so that I can periodically research local ladies whom I might want to see.  

Since I hobby mainly in places where it's not necessary to provide references or get verified, I don't belong to any verification service such as P411. I don't see local ladies often enough to have collected a bunch of references. If I want to meet a local lady, I provide my real name (and if asked, other personal info) and my TER handle and I rely on the lady's common sense to verify me.  It's not hard.

However, I recently attempted to meet a new local lady and after providing her with more than enough personal info and my TER handle, she still insisted that I provide two references.  I wasn't able to do so in time to make an appointment on the day of the intended meeting.  

I feel that some escorts are too insistent on having two ironclad references or membership in a verification site.  Other escorts, who are perhaps more savvy, know when they have enough info to trust a guy for an initial meeting.  I respect an escort's right to use whatever standards and practices she wants to for verification but I think there's more than one way to verify a guy.  Providing some personal info and a TER handle attached to some reviews ought to be good enough.  As for the issue of connecting a real name to a TER handle, there are many easy ways that a guy can signal to a lady who he is via PM or a comment in a TER discussion thread.    

If some personal info and a link to a TER handle with reviews is not good enough verification for a lady, then I won't be seeing her. So while I like to contribute reviews as a way to give back to the community of escorts and clients, they do not always help a guy to meet new local ladies.
