There is no "requirement" to submit reviews. But guys who review, and companions who have reviews, secure a greater measure of trust on the board versus those who don't.

Reviews aren't even necessary to this industry. P$P existed before reviews, dear, whether you want to believe it or not.

And some gentlemen just aren't into writing public salacious reviews stating "I fucked her wet pussy real good" and some well-reviewed providers simply aren't into racking up new reviews either. There are several ladies on this board who secretly request their TER friends not write a review after they've done the deed. And a guy who doesn’t write them is a god sent for the ladies who don't want 500 explicit public reviews that are easily found via Google. And if he has seen well-reviewed ladies, they do not NEED a new review every day, week or month. If they do, then they are doing something wrong and should contact a few of the ladies who have been $UCCE$$FUL with only a handful or a couple dozen of reviews over the course of a few years.

Different strokes for different folks.

Lastly, I’d much rather have members here who pay for their membership than write reviews to get a free ride. Lazy is better than cheap. And if the OP poster has a VIP membership, clearly he would have had to pay for it, as he has no reviews. So not only has he put food on the table of a few well-reviewed ladies, but he has invested in TER, a site that we all enjoy.

And Trust, Cordial? If reviews are needed to trust a poster, well fuck and damn us all who don’t have reviews (providers and clients) as we try to maintain a lower profile (or are lazy) while still engaging in a community in which we have built several friendship or perhaps pseudo friendships that are contingent upon reviews, in which you close the door on them if they don't do things the way you prefer to. *sigh*

Anyway, I’ll still be here (as many others) with NO reviews as long as TER will allow us to be here without said requirement. And you can take every single post of mine with a grain of salt too, but regardless TER will value me as a poster, as I will continue to monetarily invest in TER and give back to this little board of ours...ALWAYS...or until I move on from the P$P arena.

One of the things I like about this hobby is indulging my fetishes with beautiful women, particularly my foot fetish.  A couple of the ladies who had, I thought particularly pretty toes & feet, were the always amazing Alissa, and Eryn.  And they were very indulgent with me on that.  I'm always on the lookout for someone new in this area, so foot guys, anybody else you would recommend?

I did a search of your posts for the past year, and wonder why you have no reviews. In one of your posts you claim that you are getting ready to review a provider who has reviews, but you are too lazy to put in all the required information.  In this most recent post, you indicate that you have seen two well known providers, but still no reviews.  In an earlier post (about STDs) you say you only see well reviewed providers.  But, apparently you don't take the time to review any of  them.  I wonder why you talk about all these providers you have seen, but no reviews.  

If you are going to talk the talk, maybe its time to walk the walk.

Hear Hear!  Finally a friend on the board!  Sometimes I feel like a leper on this board.  Thanks for stating what I couldn't,  or was just to lazy to say.

You know what?  You guys are right.  I did meant to post a review of Alissa, but got busy with work, plus was lazy.  I figured, she is so well-reviewed and a known great time, that I didn't need to add anything.  I do use other reviews and it IS time to put my money where my mouth is.  I'm planning on a hobby session in the next month or so and I will have to break my review cherry.

As Rodney said in Caddyshack, "who made you the Pope of this dump?"

Membership on this board does not come with a requirement to do reviews.  If you choose to do them, that is your choice.  If not, that is also your choice.  The man asked a question about women with pretty feet.  He didn't ask your opinion about anything.

""secure a greater measure of trust"

That's a very interesting observation.  What do you base it on?  You are listed as having 59 reviews.  Have you determined that you are trusted more than others?  How do you know?  Have people told you that you are trusted more than others?  What were the circumstances?

Are you sure this statement of yours is not just pure nonsense?  Are you sure?

To 3 cups    Right or wrong,  to me reviews equate to trust.  And it is one persons opion so how can it be wrong?

I mearly asked the question as to why he hasn't reviews.  And, he gave an honest answer. Frankly, when I asked the question I wasn't being critical, just curious.  AND, I give the original poster credit for not hiding behind an alias.  You, on the other hand, have been hiding behind yours for a while now.  Are you ever going to man up (or woman up) and be proud enough of what you say to use your real screen name.  And, I would guess that anyone so afraid they have to hide behind an alias like yours, probably can't really live up to such a manly moniker.  I think using an alias is pretty wimpy, so maybe yours might more appropriatly be "theoccasionalcup"

A requirement?  No.  I think we would all agree that forcing someone to do what he or she doesn't want is not what we're about.

On the other hand, when one writes a review, one is putting one's name (sort of) to an opinion.  That minor level of commitment is part of the service we all enjoy and count on.  If Vorlon says a provider is worth the money, I have a tendency to rely on the weight of multiple, balanced reviews from  him.  If someone who writes no reviews suddenly recommends a provider, I am not necessarily as convinced.  Moreover, I could, for example, send a private message to Vorlon and ask, was that the straight poop?  Similarly, a provider could (unadvisedly) contest a posted review on this regional board.  At the very least, providers can note a pattern of unreasonably (if they are, in fact, unreasonable) poor reviews from a particular reviewer.

In summary:  do what you want.

It is the belief of this alias that uncle LEo goes fishing for information here publicly and privately.
That is why there is skepticism when a question is asked about specifics about providers by an
unknown name/handle with no reviews (no matter how benign that question may appear to be).  
It is everyone's choice to write a review or not.  It is everyone's choice to comment or not on anything that is posted here.

We have a free and open forum.  ALL need to remember it is an OPEN forum and not everyone who is reading is friendly and may have intentions to do us harm and shut us down.

That is not paranoia-that is a FACT-IMHO.

Amidst everything else, that has been forgotten.

It's interesting how those who can't or don't do are always readily available on TER to teach others.

This is still a review site, not a church social.

If you don't review or allow yourself to be reviewed why remain on TER to berate others about reviewing or being reviewed?

Instead of insisting how useless reviews are or trying to change everyone's point of view...why not just move on?

I'm just a guy trying to get his (very mild) kink worked out.  I can't believe the thread went off into something else so quickly!  But I will post a review (good or bad) of my next experience.

If you don't want to, that's cool.  But editorializing at his expense has gone far enough.  You can all do that at my expense in a separate thread if you want.

thanks

I was going to help him out in the first place, but changed direction after searching his screen name a bit.  BUT BUT BUT, The original poster did come back with a very honest answer, so I will give my original reply.  

Like him, I have a bit of a foot fetish, and love to suck a few toes from time to time.  Its a bit difficult to find a good foot, and we toe lovers take our chances with normal escorts.  Most providers are too interested in getting you in, and getting you off to spend any quality toe sucking time. I have had lots of luck meeting great feet on Craiglist.  I used to put ads in the adult section or casual encounters, looking specifically for women who enjoyed a man with a foot fetish. And, I would carefully drop in words like "generous", "allowance", ect.  Sometims I would get flagged. Sometimes not. But, I always got two or three pretty good responses.  I would work out the financial details by email, meet in some public place, and then, moving to a private location,  spend some toe time, as well as some fairly amature "escort" time.  
I was seldom disappointed and even though it was a bit more effort than just scrolling through backpage, it paid off in the end.  Sorry, i cannot divulge any escort names who might help with a foot fetish.  There are a few out there, but it is pretty hit and miss.

I have seen similar ads on CL and always wondered if anyone had luck with what you've done.  Thanks, I will have to try that myself!
