1. You need to look at all of providers reviews to get a feel
for her service.  You also need to look at the reviewers who
wrote the reviews.  It's somewhat of an art.  If your experience
is so different than other reviews than you need to post a
review and possibly post a quick reminder on the board.  Blanket
statements are of no use - get specific.

2. AATR is banned from TER.  So why are you plugging them?  I
not even sure if you can talk about them.  Your lack of
specifics leads me to believe you are just plugging this banned
agency.

How exactly does a hobbyist gauge his ratings? I must say I'm a damn good provider, I'm down to earth, hospitable, take my time do not rush and work hard to give a one of a kind experience. I'm not saying this just to toot my own horn, but on several occasions whether by phone or in person I've been told if I don't provide a specific service they will surely give me a low score. I'm not gonna argue the risks involve with certain services, but I will say clients do come to me and question how safe I am cause it's obviously important to them.

For them the services I DO offer are the norm, but obviously to others it's not.

Let me also say that I've been told I'm very attractive by some and given a plain rating by others. So who sets the bar?

I do understand your frustration with some reviews that have been written, because one example I've seen where a provider received  stellar feedback by a number of sources mostly all who have never reviewed anyone else.

I can honestly say I'm confused about all this stuff too.

Time to Start POSTING

You only have ONE review to your name total (and it's a very positive one of a former BDJ girl from 2 years ago at that). You tout Axperience, yet you say nothing about which girls from their agency you'd recommend and have no reviews of any of them!

If you've had these "letdowns" then POST REVIEWS of them so your fellow hobbyists can have fair warning!! What's the point of complaining on one discussion board posting when you could be doing so in reviews of numerous providers with whom you've had a bad experiences!!

I have no problem with your opinions - just express them in the right setting. Isn't that what the REVIEWS are for to begin with!!?

I agree to some extent. For one, beauty may be in the eye of the beholder. But I've read reviews of women I've seen that will give a 9 - Model when the woman I very plain. The only runway they were ever on was at the airport. The number for performance is irrelevant to me because the text will tell me what services were delivered. There is often inconsistency between descriptions and the profile. Now how the services were performed is another matter of subjectivity. And can one gauge attitude and other things through a review? Guess what I'm saying is reviews are a piece of the puzzle but not the whole answer. I'll trust a friend's opinion or an agency I have used before like you. Almost always insist on talking to provider on phone (this rules at agencies). There must be several reviews from guys with multiple reviews. The bad providers get weeded out in the end, just avoid being part of the weeding process by putting too much trust in one source of information. And when we are fooled into seeing them, it takes that much longer for them to be driven from the business, and they create more "hay" for me to look through to find the "needle" I'm really looking for.

I now understand why the very best providers charge a higher fee. It isn't necessarily the looks and performance...it's the high level of certainty that expectations will be met. And when you think about it as insurance against wasting time and money on a bad expereience, it is a bargain.

Being a member of TER has aided me in my selection of providers
which after careful research(reading reviews as well as putting up 411's and also talking to the provider either by e-mail or cell or both.  Then and only then do I choose. I have never never been disappointed.  Even when I have taken one for the team
I have always been satisfied. Now not to criticize you about your one review because I usually don,t write that many reviews other than posting my likes and dislikes on the boards.  Now your one review dosen't cut it especially nothing since 2002.  If you want to complain I think you have got to earn that right, and for the present you don,t have it.

Simple kindness gets the best of people... and besides, someone you find "butt ass ugly", might be someone else's idea of perfection. You cannot expect that you and everyone are going to agree... certainly LOTS of gents do not like my looks at all. But lots and lots DO, and those are the ones I want to come see me.

You might also try to find reveiwers that you usually share common tastes with. I know a lot of gents who say that is their modus operandus. Click on a reviewers name, of a lady you've reviewed similarly... you just might find someone who shares your interests and tastes!

For my final note, when you are reviewing all these ladies and being BRUTALLY HONEST as I think you should be, try to remember that we are also human beings. I know the package is part of what we are selling, and I'm aware that people will be critical and I'm used to dealing with that criticism.  I am also aware that not all of us can be supermodels... there are ladies of every size, shape, color, and other assorted variables, in this 'biz. All of us, no matter what we look like, deserve to be treated with a little common courtesy and kindness... UNLESS you've been deliberately mislead, lied to, ripped off, etc.

I'm sure that you can find lots and lots of ways to get across your points about a ladies looks not being to your tastes or what you expected, without using phrases that are just being mean.  

Good luck to you, from someone with both honest pics, and honest reviews (and many thanks to the Staff at TER for helping me keep them honest!).

Sincerely,
Tamara

You can't expect to have the same experience as others may have had. Some may click with the provider and get a better service while others may not. As far as looks go what's beautiful to one may be plain or ugly to another so you'd have to judge from the pictures a provider has available to you. Also when you read a review you have to see who that person has reviewed. Unfortunately there are alot of fake reviews that you have to weed through but if you do your homework you'll have a better time. Lastly if you don't contribute to the community with reviews of your experiences in my opionion you shouldn't complain about inaccurate reviews or the quality of reviews.

Let me start by saying that I am sorry that people are taking my post personally.  I intentonally didn't use any name of people I had issues or problems with.  I only pointed out the ones I was happy with.  I am sorry if anyone is taking this to heart.

One of the first things I have pointed out was that in the past I have not posted, or reviewed.  That will change, trust me.   But the fact that I have been a paying TER customer for as long as I have gives me the write to air my opinion of the situation.

I didn't want to get specific in the post due to the fact that I didn't weant to hurt fealings, or start a posting war over specific providers or reviewers.  I just wanted to air my feelings concerning the current state of affiars (n pun intended) on TER latley.

I will be doing reviews of every provider I see...  If it is possible, I will do reviews of all I have seen in the past (that is if they are still providing).

If you want specifics posted in here, (although I think that might just be a bad idea) I will do so, but onolt at the request of the moderator.

As far as AATR, I had no idea they were band from TER, I ment no harm.  (and I give my word that I have no affiliation other than being a client)  

I am not knocking anyone for their tastes, or what they consider HOT, or good service, I am knocking how drastically different some revews are from the actual experiance.  This is what I want changed.  To each his own, different strokes for different folks, but when you go in expecting one thing, and walk away experiencing something totally different and being let down.  with the cost of this hobby, that is my main complaint.

Like I said, I never ment to offend anyone, but just wanted to express an opinion.

I will be starting doing some reviews over the next few days.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion and I sure hope you will get more involved on the NY Board. That should be a benefit to all of us (you included!)
I have found that three things are necessary for a pretty well assured good time:
1. Doing homework and research diligently. (using the boards and reviews as well as private mails.)
2. Interacting with my TER pals to get their insights and opinions as well as recommnedations.
3. Interacting with the providers themselves prior to any sessions.
It then makes the selection process more of a 'sure thing'. These have always served me in good stead and I have rarely if ever been disappointed. Everyone is not a 10/10, but I have always enjoyed myself with each particular provider and been straight-forward in my reviews and posts.
