If the one review is by a veteran hobbyist and we've seen the same ladies and scored those ladies similarly, that's all I need. But of course I'm probably not the norm. Most newbs are told to see "well" reviewed providers, I'm guessing that's somewhere between 5 and 10 reviews.
Just from a cursory glance at your reviews (not the text), I see that three of your reviewers have no review history, and the other three do. That and any board (posting) history by the reviewers has an impact on decisions.
Something else that can impact decisions is the photos. In your ad I see you have all glam photos with some from Scott Church. Glams are nice, but guys know that they can hide/change a lot of things. Sometimes a nice candid or two is helpful, but I'd avoid the cellphone in the mirror thing.
I am not saying you're doing anything specific, or being deceptive, but as a new provider guys can be cautious. Just as the ladies are nervous when meeting us for the first time, we are also nervous. Remember, ladies do screening and often get some info from guys. We don't get any of that and have to go on blind research.
Try posting regularly (not 10x per day) on your local board to let folks see your presence regularly and get a taste for your personality. I would also recommend keeping the topics bland and non-controversial to avoid alienating some of the customer base. At least until you get a feel for the personalities, boards, etc.
The third review in your case backed him up and I would go in without hesitation.
Sometimes it is not all about the total # of reviews, but about who posted them.
Generally it takes a few more. I would normally recommend a newbie hobbyist to see at least 5 or 6 reviews before taking the plunge, a more experienced hobbyist less, like zero if he gets the good vibes.
gets a lot of nothing but stellar reviews in a very short time. Some guys are too lazy to bother reading the actual reviews. All they see is your high ratings, and they wonder if they're rigged.
For me, the way a review is written counts for more than the reviewer's resume. Credible reviews appear written to candidly inform other hobbyists, not to suck up to the provider. Your first and third reviewers direct part of their flattering comments to YOU, which really makes readers question how "real" they can be. However, the second reviewer, although not nearly the "veteran" the others are, keeps the fawning in check, and includes much true to life detail, so I wouldn't question its being "real". If I were already interested in a new girl, just one such review would be enough for me to act.

It isn't who reviewed you (there are a couple people I may take advice from on who to see or not to see, but I would just ask them, not look at a review).
Sometimes it is the number of reviews. I get aweful jittery with very low numbers, unless they are all recent. (3 from April, 2 in March and nothing before it, fine, new girl! 20 from 2009, 7 from 2010, 0 from 2011...are you still working??? 500 reviews total, uh, I'm sure you're great, but that's seems like you are aweful busy, and I want to be recoginized by my providers!)
Essentially, a few reviews to half a dozen in the last 5 or 6 months is generally fine for me. I'd maybe go for someone with only 3 reviews total, if they were all recent. There is just so much that can happen to a girl over a long period to include, but not limited too, deitary, disease (like cancer, etc), accidents, surgeries, hair color, hair-dressers, etc, etc, etc...and anything too old may not be relevant any longer.
but they must be consistant recognizing that each unique coupling is... well... unique. Still there should be the consistancy that they were all good quality experiences. Number ratings mean very little. I would like to see at least some experiences reviewers confirm the data. I would say you have enough reviews to say you are "well reviewed". I believe reviews are real reviews when I write them! No seriously, if a couple of experienced reviewers agree then I know they are real. I can check the reviewers to see who they reviewed & how they wrote about the experiences or I could PM the most recent 1 or 2. Again, you have reached that level.
Just continue to provide quality services, demand courtesy & respect & return the same, no scams or BS. You're doing everything right.
On pictures... while the face can be blurred... I really want to see your body from several different angles. They need not be explicit but the pictures are what convince me that you are the gal in them. Seriously nude or almost. According to your pictures you are beautiful... candids are fine... you have nothing to be ashamed of. The pictures need to be large enough to see them easily. DO watermark them. I suggest a web site... even a template site.
Best wishes,

in your ad are very sensuous as well. If you were in Florida, I would be sending you an e-mail to come and see you.
