Many guys have been accused of telling fish tales, but most are "based on a true story".  Ladies that write their own reviews are banned from TER (and yes, there's a way of telling).

I've been told by someone that sees the statistics that a fair number of reviews get denied.  Some fakes sneak in, and some real ones don't.  Short of bringing a TER rep with you on the date, it's as good a system as I've found.

Additionally, use some common sense and you'll be able to see who has a steady stream of positive reviews from reliable hobbyists.

It's always a good idea to look at the history of the reviewer. Clients who've written numerous reviews do not normally specialize in fiction

After reading a lot of reviews I have started to get a feel

for the reviewers.

There can be some connections. For instance if a reviewer is white listed by a lady I have seen I know that he is legit.

I have exchanged a fair number of PMs with guys about ladies as well.

And there is always the standard questions, how many reviews does she have? How many other ladies have the reviewers seen?

Yes a girl with one review from a reviewer with no other reviews raises question.

In NYC it's hard to find legit girls with very good reputations.
