Agreed

I was fussed at recently by a provider for giving her a "7" for hot time!!  She had a ton of 9's and 10's, but I found her service to be a very hot time, not the best ever or even in the top 10.  She also said that she almost did not meet with me because of the "low grades" that I give!!!???  I grade honestly and by their performance.   I have given a few very high scores to those that deserved it who, during our time together, went out of their way to make me feel like I was the most important man in the world for my hour or more (plus figuring in what services that they provided).  
The rest, as we hobbyists can tell many times by their performance or attitude, are there for our money only and just want us to come so that they can make more, so I graded them by their performance.  I am a businessman and get it that they are there to make money, but the actual role is to get us to feel extraordinarily special and important and not just a means to their ends.  The grades are supposed to be for the hobbyists to be able to make a very informed decision before shelling out our very hard earned monies, not to bolster the scores of the ladies.  If the providers are actually great, their score should bear that out.  Thoughts?

To me ........ & perhaps other "Hobby Buds", the "Once in a Lifetime" verbage is not taken literally. It's the conceptual idea behind the words. I have been VERY LUCKY to see several 10's ........ & they were all 10's --- a couple could have been rated higher !! No bogus, white-knight rating. I say lucky, but actually I do a lot of research before I see someone for the first time. So, much of my "10" xxxperiences have been from good old-fashioned research, homework & due diligence with the help of the TER Community.  

Civie World vs. Hobbywood  
The disclaimer to the above is this --
I don't think that I would have ever been lucky enough to have enjoyed the "friendships" with as many 10's if I were strictly seeing ladies in the Real World (is that what they call Civie?). That is being 100% honest. No where in the Civie World do you get to screen, see revealing pictures of gorgeous, sexual women & then have the knowledge of what their "skill set" is BEFORE you even meet them !!! Big difference.

Bottom-line, when I decide I'm going to see someone new, I'm looking for that "9" or "10" xxxperience. When I'm fortunate enough to meet someone like that, I tend to see them more than once.

Anyway ........... just my 2 cents !

If you aren't on your deathbed writing reviews yet?  Even then "once in a life time" is still up for grabs until you're 6 feet under.

Guilty as charged I've written 3 once in a lifetime reviews. I don't take the term literally and they all were 10'a in my mind at the time. 2 of them still are for different reasons, the 2 gals I've gave 10 in looks to I still feel that way. Of the three 10 in performance I've given in hind sight I still say 2 of them are 10'a though for different reasons. One was everything I had fantasized she would be from looks to personality and the other for some reason or another whenever we meet up the stars line up and I literally have to crawl home.

the future occasion that might occur and thus never give one (because who knows what's ahead) or give it when you feel it is deserved.  The standard I've developed over a few years is that if the lady did everything she advertises and did it all so well that I can't think of anything else she could have done to make it better, that's a '10' to me.  
Just to clarify, I'm talking performance scores, not appearance, that is totally subjective, your '10' might be a '7' to me.  But on the performance side, I feel that if the lady did all that I expected and held nothing back, and I can't think of anything she might have done to make it better, that's a '10'
to me.  And after all, when we post a review, the rating is what WE think of the experience, not what others who weren't there might think.
