END OF MESSAGE

I don't get it.  Unless your experience was not the same as the majority of reviews, what's accomplished?  Do some hobbyists like to brag?  Do some just like to hear(read) themselves speak?  Is it for the free days given to their account for each review?  I think the last might be the cause of many phony reviews, but that is not my point.

These excessive reviews do no favors for the provider.  If I was L.E., the high number of reviews would be one of my inputs on who to bust and rationalize why I did it. Get the most popular off the streets and brag how I "saved" my community of Satan's evil(depending of course on where you live).

 I personally think that new providers, Rip Off Bitches, and performance different from the mean are what the reviews should be about.  There won't be as many reviews for us to read and fantsize about, but the providers will be much better off.  At a high number of reviews, the provider should have picked up a good base of regulars, and not need the unnecesary publicity.

 I would especially like to hear from providers about what I have written and more enlighten me on how the other side of the equation sees it.

Hobbyists should also respond to state their feelings about reviews.  We` don't descriminate here: both sex's inputs are appreciated.

Sometimes when there are many undetailed reviews on the same provider "the routine" of the provider becomes apparent and it turns me off.  Then that rare, well written, detailed review appears and you discover that "the routine" is just her way of getting you comfortable or her way of making things progress for the enjoyment of her gentleman caller.  The details reveal how the lady is special.  What is different from guy to guy.  A fella who reveals how this lady is unique would be something I'd want to read.  A fella telling us how HE feels gives us insight into the experience.  You can't tell me that the same lady had the exact same experience with each man...like a video being rewound time and time again.  I think a reviewer needs to give the thing some thought or decide not to write at all.  I'm biased cause I'm a long winded son-of-a-bitch...but that's me.
 So I don't think the solution is fewer reviews...just better ones.  The lady can screen to avoid LE.  But a bunch of well written reviews is worth a thousand pictures.

continuing with reviews provides hobbyists with some insight as to when the arc is still curving up and when it starts curving down.

It amazes me how people come up with this stuff. Seriously, what makes you think that's the case?

LE don't feel a need to rationalize their busts of working girls; they bust working girls to rationalize their budgets. They can show a bunch of arrests without having to deal with a bunch of dangerous criminals. And they are totally unapologetic.  

I'm sure they target providers who they think might be involved in a felony, like those who work at an incall location where multiple ladies work. Usually though, they just throw out a net and pull in everything that swims into it. The ladies who don't screen well are the ones who usually get caught.

A lot of us LIKE the publicity new reviews give us! It's good for business.

I like what Jockeypants wrote about how to write a review. I don’t like all the details told, but something that gives the reader an idea of the feeling of the encounter and not just the general structure is far more informative.  He makes a good point about how reviews can make a provider sound scripted, when that’s not the case at all. After all, a restaurant review that tells how the hostess seated them, the waiter took their order, they ate dinner (soup, lamb, potatoes and asparagus), and then they paid the check and left doesn’t give you an impression of the experience.

(1) It is for the free days given to their account for each review.

(2) As long as a lady is working she needs fresh reviews to stimulate business.(Just as Burger King advertises we need to be reminded that we can "have it Our way")

One of the reasons I post a review is to relive the experience both mentally and physically.

Peoples perceptions are also different.  What is important to one may not be important to another.

I agree with you.  If a hobbyists sees a provider who has 50+ reviews and his experience is the norm then writing a reviews seems to be a waste of time.  I agree that reviews should definitely be written on ripoffs or poor performers.
    I typically perfer to see providers who have something less than twelve reviews but something more than three, at the time that I see them.  For the ones on the highend of my range, if my experience is what I expected, I do not write a review unless she asks me to or if she has not been reviewed for a while.  I do reviews for the ones on the low to middle of my range, unless they ask me not to.

Yeah, part of it is the free days.  But I always try to write the kind of review Jockeypants is talking about.  The rest of you will have to judge how well I succeed.

Another is that a stream of up to date reviews helps hobbyists.  Everyone, even providers, change over time and most guys are interested in what she's like now, not what she was like six months ago.

Finally, having a recent (good) review helps a lady's business.  There are all sorts of 'business models' out there, from ladies who fly under the radar and don't allow reviews at all to those who use reviews as their primary form of advertising.  Let's face it, I'm probably not the only guy who starts out his TER day by browsing the "New Reviews".

It has been noted on other threads that this is not the primary purpose of reviews, and I agree.  But if I've had a 'rock my world' experience and my review has the side effect of helping out the provider I see no harm in that.

I think ProviderX is right and you are wrong about the LE risk.

enjoy having tons of email, and their phones and pagers going all day.

I just like simple and sweet. Most of my clients don't do reviews. That's fine. As long as there are current reviews up, I'm OK. I don't need pages and pages. In fact, going under the radar sounds good, too - with NOTHING visible at all!

Those who are interested WILL find me.

that if the lady loves having a ton of reviews, so be it.  They have done their own risk/reward equation and are comfortable with lots of reviews.  I also agree that "new reviews" are important to keep getting noticed by new people.
But 10, 20 reviews in a month, sure seems like overkill to me!

 Like I said earlier, unless his experience is much different than the norm for a particular provider, I don't see the need.  Like you said, if the provider loves a ton of reviews each and every month, then "Review Away"!

1) I'll always respect the lady's wishes, post a review if requested, not post a review if that's the request.  I've even told one or two how to get their reviews removed from TER.

2) While even one review could be taken as implicit permission to post reviews, I usually remember to ask.

3) I won't post a review if what was missing from the session was me.  Happens.  Fr'instance I've learned to avoid Friday night dates.  Too close to the accumulated stress and fatigue of the week's work.  Wouldn't be fair to the lady to blame her, wouldn't be fair to other hobbyists to exaggerate the encounter.

...such as if her appearance has changed (new hair color, breast augmentation surgery, weight gain/loss, etc.).  They can also inform us if the services she will/will not provide change.  (For instance, I know a provider who used to be strictly CBJ only, but started performing BBBJ just in order to get higher scores in her reviews.)  

Information is only good if it is current!  When researching whether or not to see a provider I haven't seen before, I usually read only the latest 6 to 8 reviews, and don't bother with any that are over a year old.

When a Lady, even one who has been reviewed often and well, doesn't have a few "current" reviews, people start asking, "Is she still around?  Has something changed that no one is seeing her any more?"

Just think:  Do you know what Coke, Pepsi, Bud, or Miller is?  Has their product changed recently?  But do they still advertize?

comparing apples and oranges.  But I do agree that they need current reviews.  Not 10+ reviews in a month; a couple would probably give most hobbyists the hint that she is still active.  InspectorMorse brought up the change in hair, weight, etc. and I agree with him in the respect that the change would be a deviation from previous reviews and that is part of my different experience statement.  He also said he goes back only about 8 reviews, which is exactly my point.  The rest of the providers reviews don't matter and just show that a particlar
provider is doing serious, serious action.

 In the end, whatever style of publicity a provider wants is her perogative.  As I originally stated, "I just don't get it"
and that was why I started this thread.
