Guys how important are the number ratings when you are trying to decide who to see?  

Cannot place a lot of weight and faith in the numbers but I'm not going to pursue those with 1 thru 5 in scores!!!

...in the sense that a lady with consistently low scores is less desirable.  Of course, numbers don't tell the whole story, much like statistics in sports.  Numbers are a guide--a frame of reference.  On the other hand, a lady with high numbers could feel rote to a hobbyist.  I think of it as one factor in researching a lady I'd like to schedule a date with, albeit a significant one...

based on the content of the reviews, the provider's website, and other factors.

Thank you for the insight. I wasn't sure what to think of being rated. How it is perceived or what it is based off of. Worrying about my looks will probably be my demise but in the mean time I feel a lot better thank you guys!

Another factor related to review scores is that each reviewer has his own personal standards.  I always check the reviewer's own history in order to understand the context on which his evaluation is based.  A 7/7 score from one reviewer may be high praise, while a 9/9 score from another is simply average for him. As others have said, the tone of the written narrative can carry more weight.

Awesome thank you! I'm so glad I asked!

Are very subjective, but important to get my initial attention. I go to the website and check out your pic and donation. Then I go back and check reviews. Consistent numbers are important to, of course ymmv if a review is way off the rest, and the reviewer tells me a lot. If you are hot and withi my budget, or super hot, I will likely reach out. EOM

...in the top 100 of your area (20 reviews), it is not as important providing your reviews are consistent/good. After that point, regulars/a good clientele is what is best.  

I agree with just about everything Toni says except that I personally never look at the top 100 or top 20 or "top" anything for whatever area I might be interested in.

I agree!! and I have to meet her!!!! and you are pretty special yourself Sarah!

is what is very important!! You enjoy time with her and enjoy yourself.. Who care about numbers and top anything.. And focusing solely on Top 100, you can overlook some real gems that do not yet have 20 reviews...

Awww!! [batting eyelashes] Thank you, DG.

My pleasure!

It depends on the client.. Alot do take stock in ratinga.. Its a fast way to pick a provider.. And they r looking for a 7 or higher. If they have time to plan they will read the full reviews And then make up there minds And not follow ratings...

now whenever I read your reviews I will only pay attention to the content of the review and look at the consistency of the performance ratings.  Why, you may ask?  Well, I met you at the Orlando M&G and I already know that your looks are sensational!  Despite how bad you thought the lighting was by that mirror!  lol

...based on the date of her last review?  

Thank you!

Awe thank you both!

Lol thank you! I guess I will never live that comment down. I have a tendency to just say what's in my head it makes me a terrible liar

I think there is a balance to be had here.  I disagree with YourGFEAssistant's idea of racing to 20 reviews.  It can be a turnoff for a guy to see a girl getting too many reviews too quickly.  Guys prefer to have the perception - even if complete BS - that they aren't the 5th guy she's been with that day.  They like to think they've found a hidden gem in the hobby.

and someday would like to do the same with you. (Damn, am I smooth!!!  lol!)

If the last review was 1 yr or greater I'd wonder if she left the business but if the websites are still active and she had an email address I'd inquire if she was still in the business... And I have spoken to some ladies that have been reviewless for ages... Some have gone very low volume and just never received them and some see the same clients over again or limit themselves to established clients.

reasons why there might be a gap in reviews.  In the past I sometimes have inquired either to the provider herself (gee what a concept--contact the provider and ask her) and/or a reviewer(s).
