I do not add years to what a provider says her age is. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. But I'm not too worried about having to see a provider who is 18-20. I also don't mind if they're over 30 or over 40 or even over 50. But maybe I'm unusual.

That being said, it can be disappointing if the lady doesn't appear to be the age she claims to be. But I would be more dissappointed if her service was sub-par, or worse, if she wasn't the person in the picture.

I don't see reviews attached to your name. Do you have some?

Would this be an example of to good to be true? I hope im not being paranoid but is this a leo flag? Have a tentitive date with girl which was pretty easy to setup over email. She asked for my TER handle and the name of a ref. after only a few hours she agreed to see me. If im being completely redicolus feel free to bash me. It just seems that with so many great reviews this lady would b either super hard to book or have a higher rate.

Is this her normal rate, or is this a special. You can pm some of her most recent clients to get a better idea of what the situation is. It's impossible for me know without more info.

I dont think it is a special rate but thats a good idea to check with her other reviewers.

In some areas, $250 is a high rate. If she has over 300 reviews, I have to wonder how far back they go. Maybe her pics go back a few years, too. Above 20 or so great reviews, more great reviews don't necessarily keep adding to the rate she can command.

Looks are subjective, so what looks super hot to you may not be for everyone. For example, some guys like huge tits, even with a heavy overall body, while I like thin girls, and I don't mind small tits at all. Also, do her pics show her face?

Finally, if she asks for your TER handle, she may be filtering guys who post candid reviews or pressuring them to be positive. At least I would wonder about that, although I realize it is widely accepted for a provider to ask for that.

A few hours is plenty of time for her to screen you, especially if she has it down to such a routine that she has that many reviews.

In WI, $250/hr is considered high... a lot of girls here are in the $150-$200/hr range, so it depends on where she is located. You can have a lot of great reviews, but if you're in a city where the rate structure determines what you can & can't charge, you're kinda stuck at that rate, or see very few people.

alarmingly low. Somebody who knows the DC market might know better.

I did a quick search of DC providers with 300-400 reviews and rates from $200-$300. Only one turned up. If she's your date, I agree her pics and reviews look great. However, those pics may be at least five years old, so a PM to a few of her most recent reviewers is a good idea.

For that matter, be aware that the info in a provider's profile often dates back to her first review, so you can usually add the difference in years to her age (along with the typical 3-5 year fudge factor).

I was really just worried that all the reviews are bogus and somekind of LE sting opperation. I know it's silly, but it just bothers me a little that with her EXTREME popularity and many regulars (from reading the reveiws) that the appointment was set up so quick and at a below average rate for her precieved quality and skill level. I'm new to TER; has anyone heared of LE posting bogus reviews for their decoys?

ok, so I always tell clients my real age, and use it in marketing/profiles.

but now I might take that back...I'm only 25! ;)

no really, do you guys automatically add 3 to 5 years to a provider's age?

curious...

I don't just automatically think "well it says she is 25 so I bet she's really 30". I do however know that things don't get updated so I am prepared for the age not being exact. I don't care about age. (Obviously if the lady is not even close to her posted age that's an issue.) Looks, services provided, quality of services, personality matter to me.

29 though, I begin to suspect they've been suspended in time for a few years to avoid the dreaded three-oh. Ever notice how few providers say they are 30, 31 or 32, but how many are 27, 28 or 29? Then, the fudge gets even thicker with all the middle-aged ladies who claim to be in their mid-30s.

I'm not so concerned about age, except as it is reflected in a provider's looks. If she can pass for being a few years younger, then more power to her. However, an obvious mismatch is as big a letdown for me as a fake photo.

I've updated mine twice in the last couple of months and it took about 1-2 days to see the changes.

It used to take months, if the changes even went thru.

LE ill post fake reviews, but in excess of 300... seems a little extreme, even for them, lol. I was in DC some years back w/a service, right before the economy tanked, & I was lucky if I could get $200/hr... there are a LOT of girls there to compete with.

Good point. Your right. Thanks for the feedback all.

She's legit and her photos are accurate. A real sweetheart and very attractive but in a realistic way. Smart with a a sense of humor, and she is great for newbies, will make you feel comfortable right away.

Was just thinking the same thing, but you beat me to it. Reminds me I haven't seen her in a while - time to call.

Not sure where you are but it's pretty easy to get laid in my neck of the woods for $250.  There are literally dozens of agency girls and even some indies with many reviews who simply choose to work in that price range.  

Has it occurred to you that the reason she has so many great reviews is because she is reasonably priced and, well, has a ton of great reviews???

When I hear those words, I think of the number of reviews as well as the quality of service and/or their looks in their reviews.  If you see that a lady has a couple of pages of reviews, you should be okay.

But you can also click on the reviewer to see how many reviews they have. If you see that they have done more than a couple of reviews, that should make you feel even better.

If there is a gal with one or two reviews, and the reviewer only has reviewed her, I would stay away. At least until you are more comfortable. Experience will bring comfort. That being said, I still do not see providers with only a few reviiews. I want a known quantity before I fork over my hard earned cash.

If it's a lady with only one review and tbe reviewer only has one review and it is of her, they could be a shill. You are better off seeing someone else until she gets a track record. By the way, this scenario is the most likely to be a LE trap.

Good luck and stay safe.
