why is that a problem?

He's simply expressing his thoughts and posing a question.  I don't think there's any magic bullet of an answer, but the question is harmless.  Why does it matter if he has reviews.  It's not required to have reviews in order to post.  In some cases, those with fewer reviews write more valuable reviews and posts.

No reviews are present on your end.....

So I am having a problem with deciding which lovely provider I will see next. Don't get me wrong, this is a great problem to have, but I figured I would present my predicament and hopefully receive some tips/advice from the other hobbyists out there.

I assume most are similar to me, in that you have a decent sized running list of the amazing providers in our city that you would like to see. I have managed to narrow this list to about 7 or 8 (I'm pretty decisive as you can see) based on the qualities I value most and by reading reviews. However, at the moment, my situation is only going to allow me to see 2 of them.

My question is this: Do you find yourself in this same scenario? If so, care to share the method or process you employ to make a final decision? Or have you just found a few favorites and generally see them? Obviously, I hope to eventually see all of ladies on my list and hopefully some multiple times. That's not guaranteed though, so I feel the need to put some thought into the decision.

Your thoughts are appreciated, and ladies please feel free to offer your input as well!

JB, I think you missed the part about which providers he will see "next."  That statement suggests that he has seen provider(s) and presumably will not have issues with references.  At least I sure hope those without published reviews or TER okays can still see ladies of their choosing. ;)

And to the OP's question - sorry, IDK - but FWIW, you might want to first check to see if those ladies you are favoring are even available to play (i.e. not touring or on hiatus) and are interested in seeing you.  I am also assuming there are no price differences on your list and you are comfortable with meeting the screening requirements of each.   For me, I'd be swayed by the vibe from initial response to my contact expressing interest IF ever faced with a similiar dilemma  (i.e. how well I felt about level of safety, comfort level, rapport, professionalism, proximity, etc.).  Aww hell, who am I kidding?  I would just tack up the appropriate pics of these ladies and let the lil head geiger counter point the way to the promised land.

As you said, it is a heckuva good problem to have.

Thanks for the input! Screening requirements aren't really a factor, and price is not either to a certain extent. I liked your suggestion about making contact and using response/availability to narrow it down some more. So many great options, it feels like someone's about to just hand me a bunch of money and I'm sitting here trying to decide between $50 bills or $100 bills!!

So someone has to write reviews to participate in any kind of discussion? So if I've seen 4 or 5 providers, all of whom have many excellent reviews (9's and 10's), then I'm just supposed to duplicate everything everyone has already said? All in the name of getting some "street cred" with you so that you might begin to consider gracing me with some casual discussion?

If that's the case then I'm good. Everyone can ignore the post. It amazes me how quick you are to point out review counts and shut down conversation. How many is enough for you to engage me? 3? 10? 25? There's guys on here with multiple fake reviews just so they can have the VIP. I pay for my VIP and I'm good with that, and once I have an experience that I feel adds something not previously known and merits a review, I will be sure to write it.

He might have been responding to the post below this thread. In any case, it looks like a good problem to have. See them all! I like to choose someone new and different until I can find my ATF. Go depending on your mood that day.

Cheers!

No. Published reviews are not required to see a lady or participate on board posts.  Published reviews are one way to add a certain credibility, but not the only way.  At least I sure as heck hope so. ;)

Before you get your panties in a wad, consider that if someone missed the implication about you seeing ladies previously, then it would be natural for someone to comment about lack of reviews being but one means of telling you that you might have a problem with references.  Published reviews do not count as references, but they do imply the gent does have references.  Over the years, this board has frequently seen posters come here with no reviews, no references but with a bucket list asking who is the best to see.  It then becomes a moot point to offer input and even in some cases disrespectful to the ladies's safety / discretion.

It is up to you whether you wish to take your own thread on a drama train ride.  Personally, I think you asked an interesting question that I have heard from many a gent.  I'd suggest sitting back and seeing what other input you get before getting exasperated.

Yes I realize it was a little too dramatic. Just didnt want to get shut down as one of those "bucket list" guys you mentioned in your post.

boring I thought I would stir things up with some BS

It's like pizza....I never had a slice I didn't like...why make it difficult...if it smells good lick it!!!!!

You have said that price isn't an issue and you seem to have used criteria and reviews to select the happy 7 or 8.  The question then is only the chemistry (discussed above) and availability.  So do a simple process:

1.  Force rank them.  Force yourself to rank them 1 through x.
2.  When you have a scheduling opportunity, start with #1.  If she is available and feels right then go for it.  If not, go on to number 2, etc. until successful.
3.  Next time, start at top of the unseen list again.
4.  Repeat as many times as your body can take!!!!

OK, here is how I do it.

I have my bucket list on an excel spreadsheet.

There are several columns and and excel does a great job with complex formulas, regression to the mean, etc.

My columns include subjective and objective criteria.

Objective criteria are those such as $$/hour, location, willingness to participate in certain activities such as BBBJ etc.  Ethnicity also, as I try to see a variety of women to keep things new.

Subjective include how attractive I find the woman based on photos provided.  Does her personality seem to mesh with mine based on her posts or what other men have stated in reviews?

Then I factor subjective/objective criteria, i.e. the cumulative scores of appearance and performance from other reviewers as rated on TER.  These are subjective judgments of other individuals, but in sum they trend toward an objective reference point.

I then weight these columns and enter the totals for each woman into my proprietary formula (pm me if you are interested in the details and perhaps purchasing, we can discuss).  Excel then ranks the women for me in a final column.

I'm not sure if this really works, but for now Condoleezza Rice is at the top of my list.  I just need her phone number.
