Agreed, hence taking one for the TEAM. ;) write the review or post comments here IMHO.

I've been more of a consumer of this service than a contributor, so I thought I'd step up and take one for the team (I mostly do massage).  But the provider asked at the end that I not submit a review, so I'm in a dilemma.  I want to respect her wishes, but I also want to make a contribution to this service from which I've gotten so much.  And she is publicly advertising her services.  Any thoughts?

There are some unanswered questions here.

Is the provider UTR?  Did she offer you a special package that she would not normally offer the usual client?  If so, she likely does NOT want you to do a review of that special offering because she does not want every gent to think he will get what you got.  Perhaps, she is just not comfortable with the tell-all review system that is currently in place.  In that case, there are other review boards that require a little less detailed format.  No offense meant TER!!  LOL

This is a decision you will need to think carefully about.  We all know that reviews are intended to be for the hobbyists so they can make an  informed decision.  They are not for the ladies.  That is the facts.  We (the ladies) don't necessarily always agree with it or like it but that is the way it is.   It is kinda' nice to know though that there are those gents out there that do think about what they write and how it may affect the livelihood of the lady they write about.  

I would just ask that you keep it fair and if anything occurred that is not on her normal list of activities, keep those things to yourself and consider yourself special.   Also, UTR ladies like to remain UTR!! lol

Thank you, Belinda

did you literally TOFTT as in took a chance and got burned? That is to say, if the reason she doesn' want a review is because she knos her servie is half-assed then FUCK her, post it and air out her bullshit.

If you had a good experience then I don't know if I'd call it TOFTT. In that case, try using the back channels rather than posting publicly, and keep her UTR if that's what she wants. If she already HAS reviews than this a moot point

There are those who might say "bros" before "hos", basically that you owe more to the cause of hobbyists than the providers and there was a time when the TER hobbyist community leaned that way.  I think for the most part these days, respect goes both ways among most here. Personally, I do not write reviews if the lady does not want them.  I would guess that if its a provider you would like to see again then the answer is obvious.  The only time I have broken my own rule is when it was a rip-off, cash & dash, bait & switch, or other reasons to warn against seeing her.  

There are many ladies out there that hate the publicity of TER.  I know one recentlly, who also advertizes on BP, that said she could not handle the surge of calls she got after the first review went up.  She has enough clientelle the way it is and actually changed her provider name and ph. no. because of it.

If there is something bad about her service that the rest of us should know then I'd say review her; she's trying to hide something.  If she's just trying to keep a lower profile or offered you a level of service beyond what she normally offers that's another matter.  As others have pointed out, some ladies like to keep a lower profile.  Perhaps she is trying to balance things by advertising but not having reviews.  One question; does she already have reviews?  You might ask her more about it if and when you see her again.

Showing respect for a professional companion is the best way to go...

If she posts ads here on TER and benefits from the site, then by all means post a review. If she is not a member here, honor her wishes.

TER policy is that this is a two way street for providers. They get stellar exposure through the boards, but without reviews the board would die. That's why TER policy is that any provider with a no-review policy is banned. Can't take without giving a little something back.


Just as she should respect your wishes to not tell everyone she knows in the business that you saw her if you ask her not to.  It is a two way street.  Do onto others.......  

Only my opinion

Thank you for all the thoughtful responses.  I'm certainly inclined to be respectful of a provider's wishes, but it seems you all understand the quandary.  As I'm using the phrase, "taking one for the team" means seeing someone without any reviews, or any other presence on TER.  This is someone who has just started posting on Backpage under "body rubs" (what a goofy category).  It was by no means a wholly negative experience, but my guess is my review of her would probably dissuade others seeking a good massage with h/e--there are much better experiences to be had both in terms of price and quality (I can tell you she's *not* listed in the thread regarding recommendations for massage!).  On the other hand, she's relatively new--perhaps the best thing to do would be to provide her with feedback directly.  So no review for now, sorry, guys.  

Again, many thanks for your thoughts.

You do realize that writing a review might save some guys from having a repeat of your not so good time with her.

Yes, that's the whole dilemma!

I don't know about bro's before ho's, etc but I do think we are honor-bound when we participate on the board to write honest reviews of good or bad experiences. There is so much bait and switch, grabbing cash and running or just plan dishonesty in the advertisements on BP that we owe it to one another to state bad experiences. Do you want other guy to spend hard-earned money on a bad experience. What's the point of "taking one for the team" if you're not going to disclose your experience. You just want to feel good about yourself and make the guys think you are a good guy! Many providers have started with bad reports but turned it around after feedback. Good and honest providers are hurt too when you don't report bad experiences because after all is said and done 9 out of 10 times we learn the simple lesson to stay with well-established providers that have been reviewed. To TOFTT is admirable but it's only fair you share, esp when you ask the community for feedback or use the board for feedback. Yes, if a provider gives me a good experience and asks that I don't do a review, I will honor her wishes but if she is asking for a donation and gives bad experience then she is stealing from guys and deserves to be exposed. You can write a gentle review that acknowledges that she is new and unexperienced- even make recommendations; no one deserves to be trashed unless it is obvious but she can learn and get better and we can benefit from the review and your concerns. Write a review!!!
