Even those who defend a reviewer's rating more than one provider with a "Once in a Lifetime" 10 must find the below outrageous: In 3 months the reviewer has written 6 reviews - one 9, and five 10s!

It makes a mockery of the rating system. And as much as I admire TER in other ways, permitting the below is absurd.

Can anyone possibly disagree that five 10s in three months is ridiculous?

Happy Holidays to you too! You clearly sound like an intelligent person. And no doubt the 6 providers are top notch. But one of them has to be just slightly better than the others. That one is the 10.
So given your intelligence, why do you, and others, have such a problem with the definition of "Once"? See definition from Dictionary.com below.
It's so clear - Once is ONE TIME ONLY. There cannot be five Onces in 3 months. There can only be one!

noun
a single occasion; one time only:

Most if not all the ladies on your list have a history of reviews with similar scores..10s & 9s.  The reviewer you discredit sounds like a guy who makes his hobbying decisions based on what other gents have reported. In other words he ONLY sees the 10s  What would be absured if he saw these ladies whom everyone has scored highly and rated them a 7.  Now...if you can produce a bunch of reviews by him that gives babes a 10 that a dozen others rate a 7 then you might have a case.

I don't know all the ladies on your list but am quite familiar with 3 of them. My God man...have you ever met Dodda?  10? Hell...she's an 11 !

The ladies known to me on this so called exaggeration list are well within parameters that accorded them the ratings the OP finds fault with!
STP is 1,000% correct re the undeniable fact that Dodda is one the most sought after superstar providers ANYWHERE in everything she brings to the bed, floor, Jacuzzi, mirror or ceiling.
My own experiences with one of a kind, Cara Saint James confirm this classic pin-up beautiful, all-out provider her own well-earned top grades! Please see my experiences in my own review; in all candidness, she taught me fluency in Greek as well as no one before.
I had the amazing good fortune of attending what is probably the most premier "eyes wide OPEN" event when it visited this way a while back. In between my dalliances with others during that life altering experience, I was privileged to enjoy Eve Alexander visit outstanding feats of sexual gratification upon myself and others; she is certainly as well, top-shelf as there can be!
Olivia Light is certainly not someone one can call overrated where she is ranked here.
I do not know the other two on Graeca's list but MakeMineMilf, among these that are known to me, could I respectfully ask you to define who’s ratings you consider over the top?
There is always a YYMV factor but please give this dude some credit; he is seeing many of the best gals in the biz! I'd like to know how he supports his high altitude level of hobbying.

you have no idea what you're missing. Keep on searching, maybe one day you'll get lucky enough
Ho, Ho, HO

Lets just take the list found in your post. Yes...if you had all of them together lined up in a room , one could discern a paticular lady to be THE most beautiful [ though beauty is in the eye of the beholder].  But you could not deny they are all total drop dead gorgeous babes.

However , that will never happen. More than likely a typical hobbyist will be lucky as hell to see any one of these ladies or the many others  [ like Renata Elite] who are indeed elite. So to that hobbyist...no matter which lady he is fortunate enough to see that lady is indeed "once in a lifetime".

Some hobbyist are fortunate  enough to see several...even many ladies of that quality. This is due to where they live [ a tour destination for Providers]  , therir own travel opportunities [ visiting major Provider rich cities] and selection process.  What you advocate is once that hobbyist submitted an accurate review of one of these superstars  lets just say , Renata in Chicago , and scores her a 10-9....then two nights later he is lucky enough to book Dodda....meets her in the hotel bar....she walks in and every head turns....guys [ and ladies] start to drool and you slip up to your room with her and discover she has an absolute perfect bod to go with the drop dead gorgeous face.....hmmmm...too bad...I can only give her a 9.

Frankly, I value the reviewer who attempts to see the top ladies and it affect my choices. I trust their judgement. I realize there are a number of ladies out there who are in a category of there own....hall of famers so to speak. I for one am not going to give a score lower than a hot babe deserves because I've seen other 10s.  I look at each lady singularly.

By looking at your reviews I think you too are a honest reviewer. I just don't think you've seen the kind of babes that are on your example list.  Spend a few extra bucks and give it a try someday.

You take the "10" rating literally as TER writes it: "Once in a Lifetime."  So you've decided you can only give one 10 when you review.  I don't see it that way, and neither do most others.  For me, a 10 means she's so gorgeous and sexy that she can't be topped.  Equaled but not topped.
We all know one of the biggest flaws in the TER reviewing system is the numerical scores, and this issue isn't the only reason.  This one would be easy to fix if TER would just change the 10 rating to something other than "Once in a lifetime."  Still, I think you're being too literal.  What if you've already graded a gal at 10 and then see another who's just a gorgeous, or even better?
PS: I've been with CSJ a couple of times and she's a rock star who deserves 10s.  From the pictures of Doda Venett I'd say she's right up there, too.

Of course it's possible to have this happen. I wish I had the bank account to see all those 10s. I've only seen one on that list, but maybe in the next lifetime...

I'd say the majority of the women I've seen (my reviews are a fraction of those) are 10s. If you lined them up, I'd be hard-pressed to select one who consistently was superior, and I could make that selection only ex post. When I saw my first 10, Taylor Li from Philadelphia way back in the day, I never knew I'd meet Cara Saint James, one on your list I've both seen and reviewed. What's more, most of the reviewers who've seen the women I've seen agree with me: these women are predominantly 10s. I gravitate towards 10s, and I've been rewarded with extremely memorable times.

What bothers me is guys who rate women who are consistently 6s as 8s or 9s. Sure, taste is an individual thing, but if you're consistently the cheerleader outlier, one has to question whether you are adding useful information to the pot or something deceptive. After all, makeminemilf, haven't you encountered some women who should just retire?

If you're arguing about the term "once in a lifetime", perhaps we should go to the P&R board. The only things "once in a lifetime" are birth & death. When we're discussing extraordinary sessions with extraordinary women, I can only hope we are so lucky to enjoy as many 10s as possible.

i have enjoyed the thread....we have to take a stand with the reviews...

I agree with inicky46 that you are taking literally something that isn't meant to be taken literally. The same is true for a 9 "model material." Seriously, if she were model material, chances are she would be a model, and not a provider. It's a scale, 1-10, with clever little labels attached to each degree. Ten is just the top of a scale.

Having said all that, I do agree that we over-rate and there is way too much appearance inflation. The problem, I think, that we don't want to insult a woman by giving her, say, a 7, which ought to be considered perfectly attractive. It would be better to scale back, but not as severely as you say where we are only allowed one 10 per lifetime.

We are on the same wavelength on everything but this.  I've been with several providers who are also models.  Why?  You'd have to ask them, but I think they like the money in both worlds and the provider/models I've been with seem to love sex.  It happens sometimes.

Ratings are very subjective, maybe he has low standards, so anything 7 or better is a 10 to him.

Luckily for us, there are some girls out there who indeed are 10s.  I've been doing this for a while and quality has gone up over the last couple of years, in my opinion.  As for Cara, I've seen her a number of times and can only say that she is a 10, and if I could rate someone an "11" it would be her.
