Just wondering if anyone else has watched the reviews of someone for a long time and then finally you decided to see them for yourself....and for the life of you, you can't figure out who the others saw???  Obviously, YMMV is thrown around a lot but I am referring to their appearance, demeanor, etc...not to mention the quality of the service.  
Just curious because it has happened to me a couple of times and I hesitated to even do a review because it might come across as vindictive or sour grapes.  In fact I once did an average review and the provider freaked out and accused me of trying to ruin her business, etc. and I thought I was being fair in my assessment of the session.  (BTW, that was awhile ago when I had a different membership on here).
Anyway, just curious, that's all...
*I realize that not every session is going to be the providers A+ game and we all have "off days"...so I generally am very fair and generous in my reviews.

I actually have to chuckle a little here.  After complaining, and rightfully so, about embellished reviews, you admit that you are "very fair and generous" when you write reviews.  I'm not really sure if you can be fair and generous at the same time but maybe "very fair" is similar to generous

That you could have 2-3 maybe more accounts on here.....
Idk just looks like that to me from here so don't take that as accusatory because you just said you used a different account here yourself in the first place.

1)  She had an off day.
2)  For whatever reason, something about you put her off.
3)  She's a review manipulator who goes to great lengths that no unfavorable reviews go up or if they do that they get taken or modified.
4)  Sometimes guys are reluctant to write a review that is significantly worse than a given provider's review so they either don't or they inflate it and the longer it goes on the more the subtle pressure exists to not be the person who writes a poorer review.

I wouldn't know how to have more than one account even if I wanted to...lol.
I just assumed that one URL per account but I'm no computer wizard so maybe it's possible.
I deleted a past account when I stopped using this site...started a new one when I got back, simple as that.

I can see your point about the way I worded my post...I guess I meant to say that I try to be  as accurate as possible (fair).  Generous was a bad choice in retrospect.

all very good possibilities.  Thanks for responding.

On one of my review I couldn't break her good (not best) streak because I just felt terribly bad but at least someone was finally honest about it a couple of months later.

1.   None of the 4 most wonderful ladies I have seen so far had reviews when I saw them.
2.   Two of them were less wonderful when I went back.
3.   Maintaining consistency (hair color, weight, horniness, level of pissed-offedness with ex-mother-in-law, all over time) seems to me impossible, and yet the best achieve some level of that.  Yesterday's 7 is today's 10 and vice versa.
4.   Writing a bad review for any provider requires detachment. Given that you have just fucked her and may chat with her on the boards later, it's easier to fudge or not write anything. Got ot keep the hobby family happy.
5.  I take pride in scoring accurately but when I looked at my list of reviews today there are about 6 I'd like to change.
6.  If you see a prominent provider with a long string of 9s and 10s the pressure (real or imagined) is on. A while back I wrote honest, less than stellar reviews for such a person, twice.  Both reviews were removed within a week.
7.  The real test is whether you want to go back.  I probably pay more attention to that observation in a review than any other.
8.  Reviews are fantasy.  PMs work best.

This thred inspired me to go back & examin my own review history, I always ask the provider if she wants me to review her on TER & several have asked me to not post a review. I have used the TER reviews to decide which provider I wish to see & I have respected that process by issueing accurate reviews myself. What was disapointing to me was when I read my posted reviews in sequence they almost all sounded the same, perhaps that is because I have not been adventureous enough to visit any less reviewed providers, or mabey it's just the sexual rut I'm stuck in, but at least I trust the accuracy of my past reviews, & I ask other fellow hobbieists for the same consideration.

Each to their own but I have never asked permission to write a review and never will.  If a provider asked me to not write one, I would honor that request unless she had ripped me off or misled me in a significant way.  

If you read enough reviews you may get an idea of which reviewers have similar tastes or expectations as your own.
I have learned that there are a couple of reviewers that I will probably never see eye to eye with.

I have had several terrible sessions where I could have easily gotten a bad review.  Yup.  Truth.

I saw an unreviewed provider recently who would like a review...but truth be told she was late and the room was pretty messy. I suspect that could be the kiss of death in a first review. I communicated that to her . . . and no I won't tell you who  (if I did that would be the same as review). For our folks I'll leave it as no review for the time being . . . we'll see if she responds to my suggestions.

Ooops.. I should have addressed the second prt of my last post to Trinity...not MsD

Lol I wasn't trying to come off mean to you at all. I'm Sorry .
Anyway, like I said YMMV is just that .  
I think people have mistaken what it actually means and take it way, way out of context.
I'm like the epitome of YMMV being a massage & fs provider my only useful advice to anyone is see how good of a mood you can get me into & watch the situation get nicer and nicer as the session progresses... It's how I get a 10 one time and a 7 the next lol  
Shoot,
Just them being in a happy mood right off the bat affects me in a good way.
I've had people put way too much pressure on me before and all that does is make me ball up and close myself off = not fun for either party.  
Xoxo.

Yeah that's why I said that it wasn't meant to be accusatory
 Anyway ...
I'm the epitome of YMMV if you look at services offered lol if more guys would mind how they're to score for certain activities rather than using their feelings, I suppose that would help other hobbyists a great deal when searching IMO it can get too vague if you're just going by numbers not the actual content.

I'm not one to express my thoughts here very often but I feel compelled to speak on behalf of a few very sweet and beautiful girls I've seen recently. is it right to have on the 'bio' that the girl does blowjob with or without condom? That the girl allows you to CIM. Or that she swallows or spits? Or that you can touch her pussy on the inside or the outside? Just because she let one guy do that doesn't mean that she will let another guy do that, so why have that? I know the whole YMMV thing... But isn't that a given? I will admit that I look for someone that does a bbbj and that might allow a cim, but I don't expect that, so maybe this is just a message to all the fellow hobbyists out there that if you see what a girl has done in the past, that's the past and if you're lucky enough, it could happen to you too!  
My .02

To accurately describe what she offers to most everyone she agrees to see although not always, such as when someone finds themself getting a CBJ because they didn't make sure they were clean enough ahead of time.  Without a profile or such details in the reviews, TER loses much, perhaps most of its value.  YMMV comes into play because she may or may not sometimes offer more to some clients.  And in that case I think it is best kept to oneself.

That's TER's official word on reviews, but I've found considerable truth and helpful information in reviews, especially when considering the body of reviews for a provider and looking for patterns vs. details and outliers.  Maybe I've been lucky, or maybe it's because I research providers including reading their TER reviews before deciding to see them, but I've only had one experience with a TER-reviewed provider that was disappointing, based on her review history.  At the time I chalked it up to the provider "having a bad day", but later I saw reviews that were similar to my experience.
