The are quite a few ladies I would like to meet with. Only thing is I have been waiting on reviews.  To no avail they aren't getting any.

How long do you wait for reviews before you take 1 for the team ?

that is a great question!  as a lady with no reviews, i am wondering the same thing.  how likely is it that you are willing to see one of these providers without reviews??  does your desire to see them outweigh that she has no reviews?  are you willing to take that chance and be the first one to write a review for her?  

i have seen many clients that use various review sites to learn more about providers, but do not ever write any reviews.  i am shocked that they would come to see me since i have none and they frequent the reviews to determine who they'll see.  some have promised to write me a review, but nothing yet.  some have laughed and simply said they don't write reviews.  some change the subject.  i have never pressed it, and always try to ask in a non-demanding, un-pushy sort of way.

but until i get some reviews under my belt, i am just going to be one of those providers that a hobbyist will have to take one for the team to see.  which is funny, because i do not consider my sessions to be a gamble at all.

Bang that into your newbie head grasshopper !
Newbies should never TOFTT ever!
Some Hos NEVER get reviewed BTW.

When you've written your first dozen reviews or so...

who dictates when someone should see a provider?

If a newbie decides to take his chances on an unreviewed provider - what is TER going to do? Ban him? Beat him up?  WTF?

If you are old enough to hobby, you are old enough to decide for yourself if a lady is someone you want to see.  No reviews? well you know that you are taking a chance on her - but its your time and your money. Who knows you may find a hidden treasure.

should only see well-reviewed ladies to avoid potential bad experiences (B & S, C & D, ROB, etc.).

Do you have VIP so you can read the reviews?

I am not suggesting to NEVER see an unreviewed lady.  I believe my experiences are typical...  a bunch of low performances, disappointments & even some scams.
There can be other things besides reviews that draw me to a particular lady.  Their participation on the boards.  A good attitude & pleasant conversation on the boards.  A web site with necessary information.  
Vetrans can get burned too.  But they have a bit of perspective & experience so that something being off might allow them to avoid or mitigate the negative.  
While a Newbie can speed up the process by reading & understanding the Newbie Manual (link at the top of this board) and reading these boards, there is nothing like experience.  

Again, I'm not saying to never see a New Lady, I'm saying to circle back when you have some more experience.

The only really good review you give is to the provider who already had many good reviews.

As for the others, you are the only one who reviewed them or in one case she had one other review.

As you can see, waiting has its rewards.

I think it is fine if you want to TOFTT, in fact I applaud you for it.  On the other hand, others may want to think about it.

That's totally up to you!  Not too long ago I had no reviews.  Now I have quite a few.  The funny thing is- they all rushed in at once.  It was like someone was waiting for someone else to do the first one!

All of us were knew at one time.  Go on your gut and try to get a sense of her level of professionalism.
