I was wondering if you (providers) ask your clients to give you reviews? I'm just trying to figure out how a lot of these girls have TONS & TONS of reviews.

Hobbyists, do you usually only review if the provider asks or what prompts you to review someone?

Only if the scores are high. lol

Most reviews from me now are when asked.  In fact there's two reviews I still have to post but have no had time yet.

I also like to give back to the board.  So when I see someone and there's something to talk about and I have time, then I'll write a review.  Great performance, or whatever arrangement we work out in advance usually gets me to write a review sooner.

If I have a great time with a provider and her likewise - then yes a review would be provided.   but at the same time, if I had a bad experience a bad review will also be provided.   I do get asked not as often.   I probably have not reviewed several providers over the years, simply - had little time or forgot too.    

I have noticed some some ladies/agencies offer future discounts for repeat visits and reviews - usually something nominal.  

Having a lil difficulty getting reviews?  if you do some research of what some of the providers do to get the reviews - i.e. special rates for RS2K or P411, repeat and review get future discount rates, etc..   a number of things you can do.  

Hope it goes well with you - good luck

Although I'm much more likely to do it if motivated on my own by either a great experience or something worth sharing.  To be honest, I've rarely been asked directly by a provider to write a review, and even then it was more a casual suggestion that it could help her out rather than a 'formal' request in exchange for anything in the future.

Also keep in mind that at least on this site there is an incentive (VIP days) for reviewers to submit reviews, so that may draw out hobbyists who just want to keep their status here intact for longer.  That always calls into question the quality or sincerity of some of the reviews.  When 'shopping', a smaller number of well written, consistent reviews are much more compelling to me that just a TON of cookie-cutter reviews.

It's tit for tat.  I'm usually looking for a P411 OK, so if she asks me to write a review it's only fair I comply.

I always ask the provider if she wants a review.  Lately I've been sending them a copy of my review before I put it in TER to make sure they are okay with it.

So what do you get back??

Arunee, honey, please edit out the following...

Line 3, where you mention my double chin.
Line 7, 8 and 9 could you please change BBW to full figured or just delete those lines and the next few where you detailed "slapping a roll" and "following the wave in" that was a bit to descriptive.

Line 17, Edit out the BS I only do that for special clients though I know it was an accident in your case.

After all those edits, can you change the 4 to a 9 for looks, I need the money. And the 2 to at least a 7, I'll give you a discount on bbfs next time  

Love ya.  TSColonelSanders

I'm joking!!!
 

Do you ask them permission to see other providers as well? SMH

He can't have a gal be pissed at him for spending "her" money on another gal.

I usually review them unless they ask me not to.

I don't usually ask guys for reviews because, some guys who don't do that are turned off by it. If a client says he looks at reviews then I would ask otherwise I would not do it. Many upscale guys don't like that type of stuff and it could damage your relationship

I want to be clear:  I am not at all saying that if other ladies ask for reviews it is wrong.  Everyone should have their own business model and do what works best for them.  That's the beauty of what we do.  But here are my thoughts and practices on it:

I never ask for reviews, to be blunt I find it tacky.  If a gentleman has taken time to read my site, contact me, gives me his screening info, and we had a lovely time together then that is what matters.  He is a gentleman friend, not my marketing service.  

 And the idea of giving someone a discount for a review is not my style at all.  Because that is not a review, that is a paid advert.   I see it on ladies/agencies sites and posts, and then wonder - doesn't this effect the impression to potential clients?  If I was a client, it would turn me off.  

Much more often, I discourage reviews when clients ask if I want them to write one.   Many fine friends were kind enough to leave Betsy and I reviews and I have one that is very sweet as well. We're good. If someone wants to write one because they get free TER (we have been told this by clients) then sure go ahead!  Just make it accurate is all Betsy and I ever ask.  We consider our appointments experiences that are unique with us and that person, and our concerns are the connection and fantasy fulfillment.  Not reviews.  

We all know the review system is YMMV.  So many variables it is unreal.  One mans ATF is another man's 3 score.  One ladies dream client is anothers least favorite.  

XOXO,

I find I've been very inconsistent in posting reviews.  I've had several sessions —both good and not so good— that I've not reviewed simply because I didn't want to bother.

My failures to review are also accompanied by some regret.  In several instances I've found other clients' reviews —positive and negative— to have been very helpful, regardless of whether I agree with their ratings or qualitiative assessments.  When I don't post a review I feel I am not doing my part.

But nobody's perfect.

In the past I've shared proposed reviews with providers prior to posting them.  Though I no longer do that [It's going a bit too far.], my experience was without exception that the provider liked what I wrote, and I changed nothing in the actual posting.

I've also found that some providers are not interested in knowing what has been said about them but don't object to reviews.  In two such instances I can think of, their reviews have been thoroughly and deservingly positive.

I can say with certainty that it's both unbecoming and annoying when at the end of our time together a provider asks for a review and specifies the rating [just guess] she would like.

As for provider requests not to review —although I have in effect generally respected these, more than anything by mere default— I also find these annoying.  I approach every encounter with the expectation that it will be mutually positive and that any review I wrote would reflect this.

And imagine if I refused to give out "verification" information.  I don't like doing that, but it's usually part of the deal.

As for the old saying, "What's sauce for the goose is also sauce for the gander," it ought to apply here, though it turns out that the goose is the female and the gander the male.  So —though it doesn't come quite as trippingly off the tongue— in this case the goose-gander order should be reversed.

In any event, may everyone's goose be cooked to his or her liking, sauce or no sauce.

I have been doing this since 2011 and I must be honest, the only reviews I give are positive.  Which is really not helpful when I should warn folks of a bad experience, which I have had a few.  

I am considering doing so on a provider I saw in Charlotte, she was WAY older than her reviews would indicate, was 2.5 hours late, and showed up having  drank two thirds a bottle of wine on the drive over.  But save this for another day.  

I have only been asked when a provider has modified herself, or playmate in the case of duo's, and needs to get reestablished.  I have no problems doing so as I know the experience I had was good, and I am happy to help out.

When I have had a great experience, I will ask the provider if I can write a review, and as others have noted, I send the review to her before I post, out of courtesy.

Honestly, there are only three providers who have inspired me with off the charts performance, out of many others

Some ask, others don't. Some don't want a review unless the scores will be good. As I learned recently, sometimes it's better not to review if I can't give 9's or 10's.

Grade inflation is alive and well. 8's are the new 6's around here.

Whenever  everything was said and done I was always pretty happy and so was my "friend".... reviews generally never came up and when it did I told them to put whatever they wanted to. I only have a handful of reviews (26) and they put what they wanted. I don't think it helps anyone for a hobbyist to lie about someone or a provider to ask for high reviews. How is anyone to know if you are going to connect and have fun? I know I miss you all though! I thought I just would put my two cents in.
