Aw, thank you, Austin. I really appreciate that. Some of you boys are making me wish you were local, too. ![]()
Oh, and the link's for what I look like.

I few months ago I had the most disappointing experience with a provider who I thought was too well-known to be a rip-off, but she definitely was. I am curious as to why there are no negative reviews of her here. She has glowing reviews on her own web page, but she says she doesn't permit people to review her here because she likes to be discreet, or bullshit to that effect. Can she really do that?
I guess I learned a lesson about taking things on good faith: no reviews is bad news. How bad was it? It was bad.
She has pictures on her web page that are just drop-dead gorgeous, but the reality is that she weighed at least 100 lbs more than the girl in the pictures. If she'd ever looked that good it was many years and pounds ago. She didn't have much personality--no sense of humor--and her rates were high.
To top it off, she booked me for a two hour appointment, but asked to stop after 30-40 minutes saying she was sore. I don't ever want sex to be unpleasant for anyone, but she shouldn't have booked two hours if she couldn't go the distance. Nobody wants to pay several hundred dollars for a hand job.I can do that myself.
But I'm mystified as to why there aren't any reviews here. I found a post from someone asking if she was on the level. I was tempted to respond, but it was an old post, and there must be a reason why there aren't an responses.
I'd really lie to let others know so they won't have to learn the hard way, but I can't be the first. Is it really possible for a provider to be a total rip-off and somehow avoid being reviewed here?
She can't prevent you from reviewing her. However, she can ask TER to remove all her reviews. TER allows ladies to do this for their own protection - for example, if they have to shut down due to a stalker or because their significant other finds out, or if they get into other kinds of trouble. It's possible that reviews have been written about her and she has abused the system by asking TER to remove her profile for one of these reasons.
The guys will probably know more about how to handle your situation than I do but my suggestion would be to write a review and send an email to admin explaining the situation in case she later tries to have it removed.
Austin,
Thanks for the post. As you've learned great looking web sites and reviews placed on the web site do not really mean anything. Reviews on TER or other review boards are what count. Also who wrote the reviews is meaningful. The provider in question has probably asked TER admin, not to have her reveiws posted, which is her right, so I'm not sure what your options are. Stay with well reviewed TER escorts, and you should have better luck.
A few points here. Yes, some women do ask not to be reviewed, and that is their perogative. That is dependant however, on the experience being a positive one, which yours clearly was not. If a lady already has reviews, and asks TER to remove them, TER is happy to do so when the reviews are good ones. If you want some quality entertainment though, go over to TER Mailbag and read some of the letters TER has gotten from providers identified as rip offs. Needless to say, THEIR reviews are not removed, and for good reason.
You paid the price, both figuratively and literally, so by all means, write a review of your experience.
I do want to be clear though, that what you describe is not a rip off. Decietful, certainly, but a rip off no. Her pictures are either not her, or clearly out of date, and that makes her deceitful. For that reason alone you are completely justified in writing a review of your experience, and being honest about the fact that she is not at all the woman in the picture.
However, a session took place, so you were not actually ripped off. From the way you describe your encounter, I can't blame her for stopping you after 30-40 minutes. Hell yes she'd be sore. Any woman who does not posess a cast iron vajayay would be sore. The purpose of a 2 hour appointment is not to pound a lady for 2 hours solid, and it sounds as though that was what you were expecting.
Having said all that though, why not be the first? Write the review, and she can get over it and update her pictures so that they are accurate if she doesn't want any reviews.
sotf, has a good point. Typically, a 2 hour appt is 2 or more shots on goal, with rests in between.
Some providers don't have reviews on a site where there are any checks... TER bans a provider where the reviewer uses the same computer as a provider (considered self review). If a provider is banned, they can not be discussed much less reviewed... If you attempted a review, you'd find out if it was rejected.
On the other hand, reviews on a provider's site are always going to be good ones, since she controls them. Provider driven sites & escort malls (provider pays for advertizing there) providers can get low reviews rejected or removed.
I do a lot of research before investing my time & opportunity in a date.

Yeah I'm not into 2 hr pounding. I do however think it's a ripoff if she wasn't willing to do other things for the time that was agreed upon. And I do think it's wrong to show a picture of 130lbs and then be 230lbs. If she was really that bad, when you submit review they may reject it thinking you're bashing her. Try explaining to them that you are being subjective. I think honest reports are important. And if she was horrid, that's her fault. I do want to add, that everyone says only see reviewed people. I have looked all over and can't find single one on me (that I know of, still looking lol) I also don't advertise anything but locally (on a local reputable paper that is very well known)(non net... not yet) and have a very good reputation for over 8years now as the such. So there is good girls out there that aren't reviewed. They are hard to find and you do have to do local research but they are there. You just have to be careful and verify they are what they say they are. I wouldn't suggest it however.

I have to second this. I have had many years experience, and I am just now developing it on the web. It is so overwelming and I didn't even no where to start. Now I am learning that reviews are the only way to gain business, and I don't have one to speak of. It is like starting all over again. I have asked some of my favorite companions to review me, but they are "old school", and wouldn't dream of post a review on an "adult" site. They have refered me to new companions in the past, but refering me to people they don't know seems wrong to them. Maybe they are just being selfish and don't want the word to get out ![]()
I feel somewhat hesitant to write reviews--I guess you'd call me old school (It's better than just being called old!)--but if a provider asked me to I would.
My biggest concern is that a girl might do something with me that she normally wouldn't do, either because she felt really comfortable or she just got caught up in the moment, and then I go off an write about it in a review. Now guys who read that review are going to have some expectations that are really going to put her on the spot.
Are there rules about showing a review to a provider before posting it? I'd feel more comfortable that way. I would post anything I felt wasn't accurate, and if she and I couldn't agree, I wouldn't post anything. It seems reasonable to me, but I don't know if I'd be violating any rules in doing so
Austin,
If you & the provider have the same ISP number, she'll be banned from TER & you might be as well.
One does not have to tell all in a review, just that she was on time, provided as promised, some idea of what you did do, the most telling is if you'd see her again & why.
skb
I think you mean IP address. ISP is Internet Service Provider. They have names, not numbers.
I have a static IP, so there's no way that could happen, and I am aware of that rule. My question was about letting a provider look over a review before I post it, giving her the opportunity to say, "please don't mention that" or "hey, you forgot to mention this...."
I'm sure I could leave some details out because I judge the quality of a session more on the basis of feelings than exactly what we did.
Tell you what. Why don't we get together, and I'll write a review, and you can tell these guys that I didn't pound you for two hours. I'm starting to think I could use a decent review. ![]()
I'm comparing her performance to other providers. She was the worst by a mile.
Okay, that sounds like a win win situation! Everyone will know you don't pound girls into the ground and I get a real online review. Brilliant!
Marilynn
Yeah, "if only" (lol).
If you're within 50 miles of me--what the hell, let's make it 100--you're definitely on.
You guys are jumping to the wrong conclusion. I went down on her for about as long as I "pounded away," and I'm talking about the total contact time, not one continuous, uninterrupted bang. I may not be in a hurry to climax, but I've never had any complaints about being too rough.
There is a difference in how each lady feels about what is to rough and what is not.
For me I like a good hard dick and sometimes I like it rough.But,If you are banging me non stop and I get dry or I tell you to be gentler that is when it is too rough.Playing can get out of hand.
I always tell my guys how I like it and ask them the same.Taking breaks in between and fondling one another is always great!I think if she says something you should respect it ,it is her body after all.You may be paying to rent it for a while but do not damage the property.After all it makes the value go down if you damage it,plus she may not be able to work for a few days because she has been hurt.Discretion and common sense are #1.
This is just my two cents.Thanks Skyler-A2.
I know when someone is going dry, and what to do about it. If anything I tend to err on the side of caution, especially before I get to know someone. You girls all make different noises when you're cumming, and I really hate to interrupt a good orgasm, but sometimes some of those sounds you make sound a little like you're in pain, so if there's any doubt at all, I have to stop and make sure you're okay.
So it's pretty ironic that I'm in the position of having to defend myself about this, and I'm kind of pissed at the guy who made that insinuation. I may be a newbie on this board, but I've been making love to women since 1971, and apart from one pregnancy, I've never hurt anyone physically. Emotionally... that's a different story, but that goes both ways.
I was going to write exactly what you said. Well put!
Actually, what I was expecting was nothing more than I've come to expect from other providers, just on a more leisurely schedule. I ordered in some sushi so we could take a break after the first half hour or so, but when I told her about it, she insisted on eating first. That's the kind of evening it was.
I don't know where you get the idea that I like to "pound a lady," but I don't think it it had anything to do with what I wrote. Thanks for making me look like an asshole.
another hobbyist to give me a positive vibe, then I will pass.
In the current economy, I can't affort to TOFTT.
Ack. Well... I guess that leaves me a little out, doesn't it? I was starting to take all the rejection a little personally, LOL.
I'll give you boys your credit, you're way cautious. I guess that's why you're still hobbyists and not felons.
Wow I never thought I'd see what I read and thank you. 1st off yes I do believe in doing research. Being someone who boops on the fence sexually. yes I get the guys point and I will not argue on being safe. As long as a lady can provide a long ass reference there is no need to worry. I know it is slightly harder for someone like myself but I honor my clients and will not give out references. So have what you will but honor my respect. If you ever have the chanced to meet me I give myself a 8 for looks, and 10 for comfort. I am not thee best trust me I've tried thee best and know I don't want to compete. lol sorry a horn dog like all of the guys and no time to play games. just want what I want. That's honest for you.
There are two very different situations that I think we need to recognize.
In the case I was describing, you have a provider with her own web site, with lots of photos and a full page of "reviews", and ads on other escort sites, yet, mysteriously, no reviews on TER. There is a disclaimer on her site that tries to explain away the lack of reviews on the basis of modesty.
Then you have girls like Courtesan and Amber who are just starting out. They don't have reviews, but they don't have web pages either, and if they did, and they said anything about the lack of reviews, it would probably be something like, "no reviews yet--please review me!"
I take chances with new, providers all the time, and I've had way more good experiences than bad. There's some risk involved, but their rates tend to be lower. They may not be as experienced, but they're also less jaded. You're more likely to get a girl who is genuinely eager and horny than one who can convincingly portray one.
Amen to that! Thanks Austin, there's hope for us new girls then.
Well first off I thought your quote below was funny and yeah you are right... except that I am not by any means new. Been around for 8 years now in the "real world" and I have alot of experience. Not a newbie at all. I'm not a cheapo either, but yes I am reasonable. I could easily be a 10 and doll up but that's just not what I want. I'd rather be comfortable. Use to do high end / high class. Didn't like it as much as being my normal laid back self. Preference I guess. I haven't really tried doing the net thing yet. So I'm new on that. Not sure if I will or not. I am odd in that I don't like changing up my normal ways of doing things. I just like talking on this board and having a respectful and discreet outlet. I'm also using different name then what I use. I am also known as Alexandria from one of the local adult magazines/Wisconsin. Maybe my reviews will pop up now lol
>>>>>>>Then you have girls like Courtesan and Amber who are just starting out. They don't have reviews, but they don't have web pages either, and if they did, and they said anything about the lack of reviews, it would probably be something like, "no reviews yet--please review me!"

I didn't mean to imply you were cheap, just that girls can't command premium rates until they're established, even though a lot of them have awesome skills, so from a consumer's perspective, there's a real bargain to be had.
Austin, thanks for your suggestion. I am going to have "No TER Reviews Yet - Please review me" put on my website. Never thought of that.
that will help you get established.
Where do you live again?
LOL, Gainesville/Ocala, FL. Either one is doable.
Thanks, Key. I'm trying to get my personality across either way. I like you, too. ![]()
Your personality is coming through. If you were local I'd have booked with you by now, and I don't even know what you look like.
Having the right attitude is soooo important! You'll go far.
Aw, thank you, Austin. I really appreciate that. Some of you boys are making me wish you were local, too. ![]()
Oh, and the link's for what I look like.
-- Modified on 7/20/2009 3:44:19 PM
Like I really want to know what you look like when you're a thousand miles away! And the kicker is, I love Florida. I've always wanted to live there, but never found the right situation.
Oh well. Nobody made me look. :-{)
Awww!! Now I feel bad! Poor boy. Well, I could always come to you, that'd be one hell of an outcall!
Actually, we've been getting a steady stream of visitors coming through King of Prussia lately. I just reviewed a very sweet young lady from Orlando with whom I was fortunate enough to spend an hour last week. The week before I had a couple of half-hour sessions with a delightful girl from South Carolina. My bank account is taking a hit, but, oh well...
Money isn't the most important thing in the world. It's just way ahead of whatever's in third.
Either by posting a review, or a warning on your regional board.
First of all if she is 100 cheeseburgers heavier, that is very deceptive and dishonest.
Secondly, her whining after a few minutes of action borders on being a ripoff, but may not meet the threshold for a ripoff review
Listen, this site is about sharing. If every guy took your position, there would not be any bad reviews or negative comments on those who deserve it.
Trust me, you will get more respect writing an honest review then you will writing a bunch of 10/10 reviews.
BTW, when you found her to have 100 pounds of excess fat, you should have walked out. She may not have reviews because most reviewing hobbyists probably see her and make a quick exit.
I couldn't walk out. It was an outcall.
I think you misunderstand my position. I want to review her. I think she's either a fraud or she's completely delusional, and I'd like nothing better than to expose her. I just wanted to make sure I understood the rules first, and I'm still puzzled that no one else has reviewed her. I mean, this happened way back in January. She's got to be gaming their rules somehow, but frankly, she didn't even impress me as being all that smart.
If you couldn't walk out, then you should have sent her packing.
Now the problem you have is that you cannot review her. The review is too old. You have 90 days to submit a review.
There are ways of her skirting the review system. She could have multiple names, phone #'s, and ad changes. It is also possible that she is delisted already, but under a different name. Without having all of her info to research, it is hard to say.
Look at it on the bright side. You learned a lesson. You should also refrain from TOFTT until you are seasoned. There are too many well reviewed providers on TER to choose from.
I didn't know about the 90-day limit. That's too bad. She got away with it.
The really strange thing is that she hasn't changed her phone number, or her web address, or her e-mail address, or the name she goes by, and I can't locate a review by using any of those. And her FAQ page says, "Do you have any reviews on any popular websites ?
Answer:
No ! I do not see the need for anyone to post graphic and elicit descriptions of anything concerning our time together.
I assure that I would never share our graphic details together
with anyone ealse ,
and I expect the same coutesy in return !
If this seems to not suit you then we are not a good match.
The man I seek feels such things are cheap and classless as do I ."
It just made me wonder how someone could keep people from reviewing her, or prevent TER from accepting reviews, and if a provider could do that, wouldn't that be a serious flaw in the process? I still don't really see how this is possible without TER's cooperation, but since it's too late to submit a review, I'll never know what happened. I'm not going to call her back just so I can review her. That would really be TOFTT. ![]()
Water under the bridge... lesson learned... chalk it up... better luck...
I don't like reviews because I like being UTR.
I don't think that all providers w/out reviews are going to rip you off.
You just had a bad experience.
If you didn't like her appearance-you should have left.
As I said before, I couldn't leave. It was an outcall.
I wish I had just told her to leave, but she was wearing a heavy coat, and she got my money, and it was my first really bad experience, so I was in kind of a state of shock.
I'm basically a nice guy. I don't like rejecting girls because of the way they look. I always give them a chance to grow on me. Those feelings are out of place in a client-provider relationship. I see that now. I think the thing that makes me the most upset is that I could have given the money I gave her to two or three of the really great providers I've done business with, had a much better time, and supported some really sweet, wonderful, honest, hard working girls. I feel really bad about that. Providers like the one who ripped me off are parasites. They not only rip off us guys, but they also make it harder for you providers too.
