I think part of the reason some get so wound up about ratings is that many big spenders are socially challenged types who are more comfortable with numbers than human communication. The fact that ratings are expressed in numbers give a false impression of precision. In fact, they're no more precise than if everyone were to rate on a binary scale: I'd do her, or I wouldn't do her.

My point about the uselessness of reviews meant to please the provider applies to the descriptions as much as the ratings. Anytime a man writes something like, "Thank you for a wonderful experience, Trixie", it does Trixie no favor, IMO, since it compromises everything else he says.

I don't think anyone would want to give much less than a 7 to any gal, lest she think he is slamming her.

That said, there is a lot of subjectivity going on that makes this rating the more problematic of the two.

If you need to see a gal with a real pretty face and or figure, you have to rely on gals who have very explicit and honest photos.

You might even want to PM guys who have seen her and ask about this too.

Hey y'all,

I am fairly new to this stuff and after doing a search I wasn't able to find an answer to my question RE: a provider's appearance rating so I was hoping someone here would be kind enough to let me in on what the number scores REALLY mean.  

I know that for example 7 is "attractive" and 8 is "really hot" and 9 is "model material" but I'm wondering if in practice most guys use a 7 as an "average girl" point because it seems unlikely that a guy will give a girl a 5 for average if he enjoyed his time with her.  

Long story short I get mostly 8's on appearance and 9's on service and I'm wondering how I stack up against other girls in my area(New Orleans) because I have seen some of them be VERY VERY upset at getting an 8 for appearance which makes me think that it isn't considered "really hot" in practice.

Anyone kind enough to give their thoughts on this?  I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks and have a great day

That's what the pictures are for, assuming the pictures are accurate, but that's a whole other post.   I could care less what another hobbyists scores a lady. I know what turns me on in looks and body type and that's all that concerns me.

Darlin', what mrfisher says is true enough. IMO, the higher ratings are compressed, meaning I think that what we call 8s, 9s and 10s are really 6s through 9s, and probably a few actual 10s out there.

IMO, the upset you hear expressed by ladies is due to marketing/money concerns. If guys are going to search using appearance as a criteria (or performance), I think most won't bother looking at anything less than a 7.

Additionally, ladies would like to be ranked well in their respective "Top 10/100 provider" listings. This means money in their pocket. More bookings, which translates into demand, which translates into increased hourly rates...

I also think some of the problem comes from the combination of the numbers with the descriptions. Let's be real, what woman/provider wants to be described as a 5/6 (on a ten scale), and what woman/provider wants to be described as average looking?

Couple that some guys are rating the face, others the body and others both with the fact that guys value different things differently and you have a nearly useless rating, IMO. I have personally advocated (on the suggestion board) that a guy rates the accuracy of a photo, as well as other ideas.

They're for other customers. Period. If they're written for the provider, the site's integrity goes down the drain and everybody loses. Anytime you catch yourself wondering if you need to raise a rating or sweeten an honest evaluation in order to keep from offending a provider as has been described in this thread, IMO, you should sit on it for a month, then submit it as is.

except the text of the review should carry the message and we should not rely completely on the numbers.  were all the advertised services available,  did she resemble the photos,  did she rush you,  how was her attitude,  was there some chemistry.   these are very subjective assesments.  i have given a 10, 10 to a provider that someone else gave a 7,7.   i can defend my rating but ymmv.

Accurate descriptions of attitude, sevice, lookes, etc., are helpful.  Knowing she was a 10 in your eyes without knowing your rating scale is of little value.  The numbers are near useless.  Tell me in words what to expect and I'll decide if it fits what I like and I'm looking for.

ive only written one 10,10 review.  read it sometime and let me know if i was convincing.

Thanks for all the feedback, everyone seems to echo my thought that a 7 is the base point/average looking that most guys start with and if they actually give a girl a 5 it probably means they think she is less than average.

Thanks again for the thoughtful responses.  

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Based on pictures I wouldn't give more than 9 at the most. I rate it so that the average girl is 6 but I would never see a provider that would be only 6. Seeing a 7 would be a little iffy but I've given a provider 7 and still continued to see her because of her performance. Really on TER scale 7 is labeled attractive so it shouldn't offend anyone but still most women think they are 8 or 9.

When doing my research I don't so much pay attention to the numbers but rather the content of the review. Unfortunately I've noticed that many times if a guy gives 7/7 he doesn't bother to write a proper review with details that might explain what went wrong or why he gave those numbers. In my opinion those reviews have no value and clearly the reviewer only wants his review credit so that he doesn't have to pay for membership.

I've had one session where I was very disappointed with the looks of the provider. The pictures had her face blurred but rest of body looked great and there was a lot of reviews with 9 or 8 for looks. It was the face that was disappointing as she looked more in mid 30s than mid 20s. In the end the whole experience was more like 7/7 due to lack of chemistry. I suspect that her regulars have +20 years on me so that could explain the difference. Now I'm still thinking whether to write a review or not.
