Do you ladies know (personally) who is reviewing you?   Does it matter?  If a gentleman has a long and good relationship with a provider, does she usually know who you are here on this board?

... I'd say about 1/3 of the ladies I've reviewed know for sure I wrote the review, because they commented on it afterwards.  Several other ladies I've reviewed could probably have figured out that I wrote it, based on the details.

I would like to see the providers' take on this!

handle on this site.  After a time, who knows?  It all depends on what info you want to share with her.

But yes, of course I would know who reviewed me, always, without question. And yes, of course it would matter and I would hope she knew who you were. I would, however, suggest you clarify just what 'personally' means and to what degree. There was a valiant attempt from a gentleman last year with whom I never met who posted a fake review for me which was removed immediately thanks to TER admin.

By personally, I mean can you match the reviewer with a face.  That was all.  Thanks!

yes, of course, if you met. I'm not sure what you're really trying to say here, unless you're trying to dodge from a lady you're about to review??? Is that the dealio here?

Please, there is no need to make a hasty assumption about my intentions.  We all get enough of that in our 'real' lives.  In fact, some of visit many of you wonderful ladies just to get away from people that are too judgmental.  That being said, I can understand your concern because of what you posted about the fake review; and I'm glad you were able to get it promptly removed.  Since I started this thread, and because of your concern, I feel obliged to clarify myself.  I merely wanted to know if most reviews are done anonymously.  If so, I believe they would be more accurate and complete (and I think that was answered).  I liked your reference to there being 'no dumb questions'.  Reminds me of what a teacher or professor would say.  And if I were to fill out an evaluation on my professor after the semester was over, I would want to do so anonymously since I could then be totally honest and frank without worrying about my grade suffering.   And I'm quite sure that he/she would want the same, in order to improve or modify how things are being done.  

I have never written a review on a lady, nor do I plan to unless I'm asked.  Besides, all of the ladies whom I have seen already have plenty of reviews and seem to be pretty much indifferent about having another.  In my opinion, a bad review or two is not necessarily a red flag for me.  Some people (men and women) are just never happy or satisfied.  Has anyone else out there ever known someone who, no matter how much or what you do for them, it's never good enough??  Or am I the only one who's seen this?  Therefore, a bad review might not be due to the particular lady involved.

Nor have I ever read the "juicy details" of reviews.  I really don't want to--especially on the ladies I've already seen---I think it would just kind of kill the fantasy and the reality of my memories.  Also, just because a lady treats one gentleman a certain way doesn't mean I'm therefore entitled to the same.  She, as any human being, if free to conduct herself as she sees fit.  And it is partly that wonder and anticipation of how things are going to develop that adds to the excitement of the encounter.  More importantly, I would rather 'connect and have good chemistry' with the woman than have to worry about if I am going to get some predetermined  package or my "moneys worth".  And you usually can't tell how that will go from reading reviews!   Well, that's enough rambling--hope I've covered the "dealio".

appreciated in getting someone thoughts across. I love monologues myself LOL. But I wasn't being hasty however, only observational from a woman's point of view. There are many reasons for reviews and why and the how they are submitted. Considering you are posting essentially with an 'alias' with no credentials underneath your name smallsteps, one can only conclude a few things here I'm afraid which you assumed was hastiness. Quite far from it  

You are more than welcome to read and observe reviews in how ever you deem fit and what works for you. If and when you ever enter the review camp yourself, just remember, that 'power' you hold (which it really is) is in your hands and your hands alone. While I personally think the triple 'R' here (ratings, rankings and reviews) is a bit over the top, remember she is just a woman running an independent business for reasons personal to her (unless an agency of course). Take the review seriously because you never know how it may impact her. That is the 'power' you hold. And it can go up or down with one lil sentence you write. Some men take reviews word for word (literally), and others simply use them as verification as to who this anonymous woman is he is about to meet. I have mixed feelings personally on this system, and that essentially reviews in general, deem the good, the bad and the ugly, and for all different reasons. Essentially it's up to you decide where you fall and for what reasons those are. Until there's a more solid system in place, this will have to do.  

Not all women 'want' a review, not all women will 'ask' for a review. In the same breath, some men will honor that request, and others find their own reasons not to. The entire review system is seemingly out of 'our' (the ladies) control for those who play this game right. And for those who do play the game right, it's up to you (the gentlemen) to be the judge in how you choose to essentially 'represent' your woman of choice and your time with her, be it, that good, bad or ugly. You are essentially part of her marketing campaign whether you know it or not. With that being said, good luck to you and yes, I believe you covered the 'dealio' just splendidly.

I may have mistaken hastiness for well chosen words---not too soft, yet not too harsh.  Just enough to prompt a 'monologue' from me.  I don't understand the three R's as you mentioned them; however I'm sure this system as you refer to it is far from perfect, but nothing ever is.  Thank you for enlightening me on some these issues, and I will certainly consider them!  I hope I was able to contribute something in my own 'small' way.

My sincere pleasure...always. Enjoy your evening then and be safe.

As a newbie myself, I'm wondering if it's just better to discuss with your provider what she's comfortable with in a review.  Assuming you want to write a positive review, how much of the juicy details is she comfortable with?   I would imagine that varies.  And although the few reviews I did write, I'm still not comfortable writing it like an x-rated vignette even though that seems to be what TER wants.

Just a thought

yes, I assume thats how it happens with some here. I won't divulge how it happens with me per se, but yes, reviews are personal on both sides of the equation. Verification of your encounter for her and for him. I happen to agree I'm not a fan of divulging all the details, but I hear if the 'juicy' details aren't up to par and aren't juicy enough, a rewrite is inevitable. Oh well, perhaps some day they'll allow a more creative approach to writing a review, vs spelling it all out in black and white. Who knows.  

Your handle makes me sad  
I do hope that's not true.
