For the ladies its an advertisement or a testemonial (sp)
Keeps their name out in the forefront.

I don't have that many compared to some, and really don't
care to write them for the free vip.  So for me the experience is
either going to be great or really bad.  

Which is what I want to see also, who to avoid or who is a must see

So two questions
ladies do you ever ask for reviews?
Dudes do you review most of who you see or not?

I've submitted a lot more reviews than have been approved.

The process is such a pain that I generally have a "three strikes and I'm done" policy.

I generally only attempt to review ladies who seem interested in it.

I try to review as many as I can but alot of outside factors prevent about half the ladies I see from getting reviews up.

Like Zodly, I've written more reviews than were approved. Those were mostly when I first started writing them. Just didn't have a lot to say.
But, since I have come to depend on reviews in making my selections, I feel it is only right to offer my experiences so that others may take my review as a warning to stay away or to go for it with jets on. I try to be honest in my reviews (I have been burned by some bogus ones) and tend to write after I have had a particularly great (or not great) experience
Now, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and, YMMV apply but at least if a lady is truly fabulous, I have to spread the wealth. If she is a terrible provider, or badly misrepresents herself, I feel the need to write about that too so someone else doesn't get burned. The good part is that if you see consistency in MANY reviews, then you have an idea of what to expect (odd ball reviews not withstanding as long as there aren't many of them).

I may be unusual in this regard on TER but really don't prefer to share details of intimate encounters.  If it's a bad encounter, I would rather not give the lady a bad name.  If it's a great encounter, I would selfishly prefer for others not to know about it.  But I recognize that the market works best when information is exchanged; I have certainly benefitted from reading about others' experiences; and most of the time the lady asks me to post a review.  If I had my druthers, I'd just post the "general" part and leave out the "intimate details," but TER doesn't permit that option.

So, my approach is to ask if the lady would like a review.  If she says yes, then I do it; if she says no, then I don't.  I had a really amazing evening with Tylor Blake a couple of months ago, but she said that she didn't want to be thinking about what is happening with a mindset that it might end up in a review later, so we agreed at the outset there wouldn't be a review.   But if I've had a great experience and the lady says that she appreciates reviews, then I'm perfectly happy to post one to help her out and (somwhat begrudgingly, I admit) to let other guys know about it.  There was one occasion when I was just so totally blown away that I had to tell the world (thanks again, Adrianna).

There was also one time that I had a really bad experience and felt that I should post a review to provide this information to others so they wouldn't repeat my bad experience.  The few other times that have been bad were situations where the provider left the hobby shortly afterward, so I didn't have to make that decision.

I agree with Zodly & 2Hot. I find it tough to keep up on reviews. But I think if the process was easier and approval "more likely" I would find the time... EVER TIME to help the ladies and hobbiest

As a new provider.  I never ask for one but I do feel I need them to get my name out there!  When your new it's kinda hard to get started.  Now that I have 4 it seem's to be getting easier! But  I never think of review's  while seeing someone I focus on making sure the gentlemen is blown away no matter of the out come!

Hopefully this does not come off a smug but I have had only one review turned down and that was because I waited too long to post it ( several months had passed ).  All I can say is the process is easy as long as you follow the rules.

As for my opinion on the OP's question.  Sometimes when I mention TER the ladies will ask for a review and other times they will request no review.  There have been some sessions I just did not want to share so they did not get reviewed.  However, I do review most of the ladies I have seen.  I like getting the free VIP but it's more about giving back to the lady for a great time ( kind of like an extra tip ) or warning the rest of you when something is off.  Luckily I have only had a few bad experiences and only one actually resulted in a bad review since the others did result in a session.

I gave up on writing reviews about a year ago when it became such a pain to give a reasonable recap only to have someone who wasn't even there tell me I had to do this or that... I'm a stubborn sob sometimes and unfortunately this issue just rubbed me the wrong way.

Reviews are to help the hobbiest determine if a girl is right for him.  The more information, the better.  If you are embarrassed about details, don't write them.  If a girl says not to write, don't write unless your experience is bad.  You are absolved of the bad behavior sin by your fellow reviewers in this case.

It is important to know that if you think a girl is really great, you should share this great experience if her reviews do not reflect this.  If you have an experience that is good, but less than expected based on prior reviews, speak up.  By all means, if a date is terrible, lay out the details and let us decide if it is because you are an ass or that the lady deserves to be blasted.

I think that if there are over 5 recent reviews which reflect your experiences, no need to chime in.  But remember, you rely on reviews to direct you so let this guide your review style.

Several times I have decided to forego a visit to a new girl after reading reviews that said she was mechanical or her mind went to la-la land.  However, I always consider the source before letting a review be the final judge.

I remember the old days when we had no reviews and half the dates were cash and dash or girls who hated what they did.  A little time writing is much better that re-living the old days.

END OF MESSAGE

I have a similar philosophy as H, I have reaped the benefit, so I try to give back.  At least up until the review is rejected so much that I'm not sure what they're looking for or how arbitrary the process might be.  I always ask the lady what is her preference about a review being posted or not, and have had a couple of well reviewed ladies who were excellent hostesses to me (wink wink) say that they preferred not to have so many reviews so I chose not to post.  A mix of 7's and 8's would have been posted, by the way, so they were attractive women and we had wonderful visits, anyway.  I've been lucky enough to have interpreted what I read on TER correctly enough that I have never, ever had a bad experience.  I try to be honest, and include some aspect of the personal connection or not that can impact the visit so much.  And when reading a review, I compare it to the body or reviews on a lady, and I think you can spot when either the lady or the gent were not having their best day often through no fault of their own.  And most "axe to grind" reviews are obvious.

On rare occassions do I post reviews.  I would where I thought I could add something new to the opinions out there (unless I thought that new thing was strictly extended to me and not typically on the menu).
