Happy Friday everyone! I'm always interested in the psyche behind people; what drives them and such. I also feel that, as a provider; it's important for me to have a deeper understanding of what I am providing, or perhaps lacking ....continued education if you will. So... I had an interesting conversation yesterday about the use of TER and the reviews. Some interesting perspectives and points were brought up, and I would just like to get some added input. Does the number of reviews a lady has make you more or less likely to see her? Do you feel put off knowing  sordid details of her experiences/ or other individuals she's seen before. I would assume that in this business it would be acceptable and understood. However, I can see how this could certainly deter you from seeing someone as well. All opinions are appreciated

I like to see two or more, but after 5 it doesn't make much difference.  I've toftt a couple of times, and tried to post, but given that about 1/4 of my reviews are rejected by the board for inscrutable reasons, I can't hold low numbers against anyone.

In my early reviews, I gave a blow-by-blow accounting of almost every minute of our sessions.  But, that gets old really quick--both writing such reviews and reading them.  In my most recent reviews, I list the "juicy details" that we covered, because TER requires them in order for a review to be posted, but I now write more of a descriptive narrative of the overall experience, not a sequential blow-by-blow.  

Since YMMV in most sessions, anyway, each experience is different.  In most sessions I've had, there are also things that we've done that I've not included in the review, out of respect for the ladies, and the "special" nature of our time together.  I don't think that's short-shrifting my fellow hobbyists; I always give enough info to help them make a decision if they'd like to see this particular provider, but my colleagues don't need to know EVERY intimate thing that the provider and I may have done in any given session.

As for number of reviews, I'm not going to be "out there" and TOFTT too often, so at least a couple of good reviews are a requirement for me.  

My two cents.

The number of reviews doesn't matter so much.  As long as there are at least one or two from
hobbyists who have written other reviews, I'm fine with that.  And if you're asking about a high number of reviews (triple digits?), I haven't sorted that one out myself.  Certainly doesn't mean someone is better or worse, just pehaps more experienced which can be a good thing.  As far as all the sordid details, I'm mainly interested in if MY favorite things are available (which aren't terribly out of the ordinary I guess) and also if the pics in the ad are actually her.  And no, I haven't ever been put off by her experiences or other individuals she has seen.

I would say that after a provider has arrived on the scene with ads, its a good sign to start seeing at least 5 credible reviews within a month or so.  Its also good to continue seeing a few over the course of time, maybe at least one every month or so, just to know she is still active and nothing has changed much.  The details don't matter much by then unless something significant has changed, menu, appearance, fees.  But other than that, whether a provider has 10 reviews or 100, I don't think it matters much. Sometimes I might consider a large number in a short period of time as a negative because I tend to want to avoid the high volume ladies, but not always.  Sometimes I just need a sure thing with short notice and I don't much care.  At the same time, I don't put too much stock in the lack of reviews either, unless I have seen her ads for months.  Thats a red flag to me.

I like to see a fair number  of reviews by experienced reviewers; that gives me a good idea that she is legit and what she is like.  I also like to see the reviews keep coming at least semi-regularly; gives me a heads-up if things have changed or assurance that she is still what she used to be.
