It's like expecting the stock market NOT to go up.  People are long stocks as a rule, so if that's the case, the stock market has a natural tendency to go up in value.

Same thing with reviews.  If guys are gonna write reviews, and most providers have their screening info, what makes you think that reviews aren't gonna have a positive bias to them?  For the reviewers, there is a lot more downside to writing a bad review than there is upside.

Downside:  She has your personal info and can totally blacklist you.  Your personal life could be ruined, you could be called at work, etc.

Upside:  Some random "bros" who you don't know on this board are gonna give you "props" in the form of a "way to go" and "thanks for the review" on a board.  That and five cents will get you a cup of soup.

Not saying that we shouldn't be honest, but if you honestly expect total truthfulness and not a positive spin in reviews, you just don't get it.

If you want to find out the real truth about a girl, PM guys you know, and find out through the backchannels.

I have to admit I am a bit conflicted about being 100% totally honest about a provider especially if they take me around the world and have a great personality. I have spent time with one or two providers and then rated them and I have to confess that the performance was great, but the physical nature of their bodies was not what I expected. Sometimes they are not as beautiful as their airbrushed photos and that is something I can comment on especially if it is an outright lie. A few looked great, but I expected something a little more form fitting. I just could not get myself to trash something that is out of their control. I can fill in a Magnum, not that it means much these days.

I know, I know another guy talking about the size of his dick, but honestly I like to think I have a normal sized appendage. When I look around the gym locker-room I would have to say that I am doing pretty well, but in the provider world especially with the use of lube there have been a few frictionless moments. To call a provider out on a loose caboose or saggy boobs is just too harsh. I can’t be that honest and cruel to someone if they have been nice to me. I just can’t.

I can just imagine there are some people who are shaking their heads right now, but this is an adult board so let’s have an adult conversation.

I've held off commenting on any of these threads that talk about the review system. I completely agree with a lot of guys here that there is no upside to writing a bad review. You can read about the craziness girls get into, and I've heard the stories first hand as well.

I think part of what's happened is that this industry has gotten an influx of a lot of girls who need the money. They like sex, so figure why not? They come onto TER and they see a lot of women who have all these top marks. They think to themselves that unless they get them they won't see anyone so they work on ways to cheat the system.

I fully believe that the reasons the reviews are scewed are because of the actions of women, not the men here. I cringe for a guy when he makes a post about a not so bad time and people respond to write a review! I feel bad. He's doing his props to the community right there. He's saying, hey, I have info, pm me if you don't want to get stuck like I just did. But I don't blame him for not wanting to write the review.

As far as a bad review being followed by a good one... Well, yes, it could be damage control. But it could also be that the girl took the critique. I know I'll catch flack for this with people wondering about me- I had a 9-9 first review and every single one since is a 10-10. Am I coercing guys to give them to me? Absolutely NOT. PM them if you care. I've gotten a lot of emails asking if I'd give discounts for glowing reviews. I always respond that I'd rather see them full price and get the review I earn- Only one met that request and guess what? 10-10 from him too. But what I do do is take everything that a guy has told me and PUT IT INTO ACTION. For instance, in the bottom of my 9-9 review, the reviewer actually explained why I didn't get that elusive 10. He supports me by saying he knows it's possible. So what did I do? I've taken it to heart! We continued to see one another and more than once he's told me I've reached that score with him! It feels AWESOME to hear and know that. I don't forget that just like a guy could rewrite a review to make it higher, it can go the other way around as well. So even from my established friends, I listen to what they have to say. You can only get better if you internal what they say. If it's not something I can meet, that's a different story, but hey? That's why there are hundreds of other women to choose from too.

I think that if a woman is stable and reasonable enough to be in this industry and use this life in a HEALTHY way for herself, then every review, good, but especially bad, will simply make her up her game. I think that all these women who shouldn't actually be here are simply immature enough to deal with the consequence of being fairly reviewed and resort to other means to get the scores they believe they need.

I see myself creating some haters out of this and I don't care anymore. I wish there were a better way for you guys to safely review us. Where you didn't have to worry about the consequences.

And sorry alfalfa, I was mostly off topic here. I guess here publishes the first KJ semi rant. LOL. I just feel bad for you guys. We should be able to take the good and the bad without resorting to devious means.

The head with a brain in it, that is. I haven't written many reviews but it got to a point where I thought so many great reviews were total BS, that I had no choice. I've felt the need to write some brutally honest reviews before as well, especially if a girl is given all 9's and what I received was nothing close to that. You have to be smart about it though in order to avoid being harassed. Maybe wait a few days or even a week or two before posting the review. Change some of the minor details, but not the facts that warranted the bad review, etc.

I guess I'll weigh in here. I've been reviewing gals here for a long time and I've developed sort of a rule for myself. First, I almost never see a girl who doesn't have either good solid reviews or the endorsement of a great ageny booker. Consequently most of my play dates are quite positive. Second, I don't write even "average" reviews. Unless a girl is pretty damn spectacular I simply don't write a review. Now, if she's BAD, or smelly, or is an up-seller, or has limits other than those described then I will post a review. But if she's just "so-so" then I simply don't post a review. Looking back at my reviews I'm guessing I actually post on about 2/3rds of the gals I see. The balance you'll not hear about from me.

Bottom line for me --- do your research!!!!!! With TER and back-channel PM's there is almost no excuse for a less that stellar date.

Which reminds me ..... I have one tomorrow night! Lucky me!
