I know everyone's taste is different, but one provider I have been checking out gets really high ratings for being great looking and a smoking body while other reviews say she's thick through the middle and thighs and has only a marginal face and looks a lot older than her posted age.  Other reviews say she looks younger. This of course is very confusing.  What is the experience of hobbyists who have seen a provider with mixed reviews?  Like all of you, I'm very particular about looks, but I think we're all discerning enough to know what "model material" is.   I would have a tendency to believe the reviews that say the provider isn't that good looking, because, lets face it "model material" is a very elite category which should be pretty obvious to everyone.

Perception of looks vary. I have been with semi-successful working models that I did not get off with. I have been with everyday women that smoked for me.
A story from my distant past to drive the point. I was given the name of a provider by the agency owner many times several years ago. She was available each time but each time the agency owner panned her as being too muscular and not attractive as the alternatives that I took each time. One night I was horny and the provider that the agency owner panned was the only choice available, so I had her stop by my room at a hotel. What showed up at the door was my perfect idea of a woman, she was young, beautiful and athletic. Her body was perfect for me. The sex that I had with her that night I remember till this day and will remember for years to come. She quit the business soon after I saw her and I did not get a chance to see her again. My only regret is that I did not see her sooner. The moral of my story is that you need to take the chance and make up your own mind. The provider that you have in mind may be not right for you,but she may be so right that she will provide you with lasting memories.

I understand that and it's an important point.  My issue with the reviews however, is that when a woman is a bit flabby, she is not model material.  Models - for the most part - are stick thin.  A "once in a lifetime" is an undeniable knockout...  a head-turner, the kind of woman any man would lust for.  I like thin, athletic women, while some guys like big busty women.  But I'm sure there isn't a guy out there - no matter what body type they like - whose jaw wouldn't drop if Angelina Jolie, or Cindy Crawford or a young Raquel Welch walked by.  Now that's a once in a lifetime.

any of the three women that you mentioned even when young and at their prime. None of them do it for me. As I wrote, looks are YMMV. You will only know once you have seen with your eyes or used the reviews of a consistent hobbyist as a yardstick. When I try new ladies that have reviews I regularly read the reviews of other ladies that hobbyists have seen and examine the photos of those ladies. If you are discerning enough you will find out what you need to know and reduce your downside risk.

Some guys score appearance of a 45 year old provider on the same criteria they would a 25 year old. Others score on a curve. Since there is no set TER policy on this it's hard to judge. Performance enjoyed or not enjoyed also has a great influence on "appearance" scores.

 My advice is if the ladies pictures are appealing to you check to see in the profile/reviews if the pics are a fair representation of the lady. Use your PM (Private mail) to contact other hobbyists who have reviews of the lady and get the "back-channeled" info on her (again the importance of a VIP Membership vindicated).

I have been with women and providers whose body type is just perfect or close to it.  But then the sex, and 'connection' cloud that score for me.  For example, in walks a 10, but she is seemingly bored, not into it, faking too obviously, wants to get it over with...she walks out an 8...why?  because at the end, her looks are a combination of her whole persona.  In walks a 7, but her personality is just sparkling, she makes me laugh, she is reponsive to my touch and my words and I can even make her giggle...I look at her again, and she is too beautiful for words.  But heck, I am just an old fart.

Well, I'm an old semi-old fart too, and yes, some really hot looking women suddenly aren't so hot anymore if you've had a not-so-good time with them.  But the point I'm driving at, is that in some  reviews a provider gets a 10 in looks and a "just laid there" in performance.  And 3 reviews later she'll get a 6 in looks and a "just laid there".  There's a massive difference between a 6 and a 10, especially when performance numbers are equal.  Anyway, since there is no universal standard for beauty, then I guess some men may rate Roseanne Barr a 10.
