I want to touch on just one point the OP made (about giving true information) and I agree with it wholeheartedly.
If we, the hobbyists, aren't truthful in our reviews, then others that follow are misled and might not have a good experience, write a negative review, the provider gets angry, the hobbyist is angry...it's just not a good situation.
Better to be honest but there are many ways to do so without being hurtful, negative, and so on while still getting the point across.
In my case recently, I was looking at a lady's website and I thought I might like a session with her. I began perusing her reviews and while I found many to have graded her around the same range, there were a couple that did make mention of certain "things" that led to those reviews being lower than the 'herd' had graded. Anyway, with this "different" info, I am/was/have been able to adjust my expectations to a more reasonable level. Whether I choose to go ahead and see that provider or not, at least now I know what I'm getting into.
Personally, I appreciate the honesty in the reviews.
Lastly, the review(s) that I am alluding to were written in a positive way yet still was able to say something that needed to be said in a nice way as it needed to be said.
Does anyone understand what I'm trying to say? English is also not my first language but I think my point is fairly clear.

First off. Every provider has the right to see whomever she wants. This is a voluntary business and nobody is compelled to see anyone. Incidentally that goes both ways.
In all of my reviews I am really trying to be objective. Despite it being a business it's not like selling shoes.
Emotions, likes, dislikes and yes egos go in to this. Unless you're robot feelings are involved at some level.
Someone's goddess is someone else's average. To use, an outdated phrase. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Chemistry however brief goes along way. I get all that.
I am a pretty blunt person and sinice English is not my first language I tend to be less attuned to the subtleties of the English language. But I try to be honest.
OK I am done complaining and whining.
I thought this board was about giving true information. If I have offended anyone I am sorry. It wasn't my intention.
To be called picky and high maintenance is just weird. Sorry.
But I am a big boy and I can take opinions, but I will continue to be honest.
