because when my fav was recently unavailable I found myself searching for a new lady to see. What's interesting is that the last few ladies I saw rarely ever post. I saw them based solely on their reviews, rankings, and websites. Maybe with all the turmoil on the boards lately I just felt more comfortable seeing somebody who is out of the loop? I didn't conciously think about that as I was setting up the appointments, but now that I think about it I do believe that influenced my choices.  
While postings and ranking do play a role, I get the most out of reading reviews. I like to see consistancy when it comes to attitude. If I do my homework correctly, when the door opens up I should be greeted by a sexy, friendly, smiling, clean, and horny woman that appears to be very happy to see me. That is what I'm looking for and that is what I'm expecting.  Happy to say that my expectations have been met just about every time.
Diving deep...I'd imagine you'd have to throw on a little more weight on that belt with those floatation devices.

I have definitely been influenced by provider comments on boards.  I can only remember being influenced in a positive manner where a lady makes a comment and I am intrigued enough by it to start looking closer at her.  The comments that resonate are the ones that show a human side vs. say, something overtly sexy or hot.  Just my 2 cents.

One really never knows what each person on this board is like. We choose to be ourselves and the hell with what others think and take the honest approach or one may choose to ooze milk and honey in hopes of raking in it's benefits. It has been said that every time you post it is an opportunity to be seen and win over someone.

I was looking at a few sites about ladies screeners and found part of their duties can be to post on different boards as to bring attention to their clients as well as write their ads.  That told me just how important board posts are to a ladies popularity otherwise who would pay so much money for this service.

When providers post comments on the board, you can tell a lot about their personality.  You can tell if they are fun, witty, intelligent, mean, depressed, etc.  I have crossed a few off my to see list because of comments made on the board, and I have added a few.

There is an older provider here that is all peachy on the boards and then instigates outside of it and other providers don't like her. Sweet old lady NOT.

You seem normal and although you talk too much, I like your persona

from their posts here-and you can get a reasonable idea of what the lady is like if she posts a lot like Elle, who I'm a fan of-Mostly I choose the ladies by their reviews-no less than 8's on looks and no less than 9's on performance and I've had a dream life-for me- for the past 5 years I've been in the hobby-Plus reading the reviews can tell you a lot about her-her likes and dislikes, attitude, and if she's out to show you a good time-I will discount a bad review if the rest are good, because sometimes the guy's an a-hole and sometimes folks just don't click-smile  Good topic, Elle----1rob.....out

that some posts help narrow the list of prospectives
