I think that real stunners who advertize widely get reviewed pretty quickly.  I have a good idea what the going rate is my area.  In my experience, if the "stunning" provider is real she could and would command a good donation.  So you have a real stunner at a bargain rate?  But no reviews anywhere.  Yeah, right.  I have a bridge for sale.  
There are sites like tineye which search photo databases.

When I'm searching for new experiences especially on cityvibe or eros, it seems, most of the time, that the women who are unbelieveable knockouts, that you know you would pay any amount to be with, almost 100% of the time, are never reviewed.  

Why is that- are people afraid to check them out? do they ask not to be reviewed?  

IMHO, this is a 100% occurrance.  I've never plugged a girl (who are 10s in appearance or sex appeal to me) in to the TER database and come up with a review- even a review that says pics not accurate- just not reviewed.  And these are stunners.  So are they all fake or what? someone help me out.

I have the same suspicions.  I'm still looking for my first hobbyist experience and am very much afraid of getting busted.  In general if I have a bad feeling about someone I just move on.

I actually found one ad with a smoking hot girl who requested a picture of the hobbyist before she would see them.  Seems very shady indeed...

My suspicions go even further in that I think there might be "reviewers" on this site that post reviews for fake ads to make them appear legit.  I have noticed certain consistencies with certain reviewers that have influenced my suspicions.  I think the only safe way to go is to use an agency.  there are a couple of them out there and as a bonus, the girls usuallly have better reviews.  They do however usually cost a few bucks more.

Just my two cents.  Keep in mind I have never yet seen a provider, but have been looking and have found many ads that are along that match what you are describing.  Just offering my perspective and something to think about.

I am fairly new to this myself and I can say that not all client actually give reviews. I dont have any reviews that I know of yet. You can find my ad on cityvibe also, just look up my name.

But some do prefer not to be reviewed.

As a newbie I rely on reviews to be sure I know what I'm getting.  While I understand that not all reviews are accurate, it's really all I have to go on.  So my policy is to stick with providers who have not only good reviews, but lots of reviews that support a rating and give a consistent sense of what to expect.  There are loads of providers out there who are in this category.  So, no reviews, no visit from me!

Check the reviewer.  If you're on an escorts TER profile page, at the bottom are all of her reviewers. Click on a reviewers TER handle. It will list all of the reviews he's written. TER does it's best to combat fake reviews by turning down lots of reviews of first time ladies by first time reviewers.  The more reviews the reviewer has written, the more likelihood he's on the up and up.

Your comment about agencies is misguided.  While I have nothing against agencies, or agency ladies, you will find over time and experience your statement is not quite correct. But thats for a whole new thread.

Good luck and stay with well reviewed escorts, leave toftt to veteran hobbyist

I don't quite understand how someone who hasn't seen a provider can comment with any authority re. independent ladies vs. agency ladies.  In over 8 years of hobbying from Florida to California and many places in between; where you hobby matters regarding donations and sometimes quality of ladies.  Big cities give you more choices than small cities.  Some cities are known for poor agencies whereas some cities are known for few good independent ladies.

Get your hobby cherry broken before you comment with non-trueths..

this is why i qualified (or disqualified, if you will) my post with the statement that i was not experieced.  I think i made it abundantly clear that i was not to be taken as an authority on the subject, but rather shared the perspective of the person i replied to and added some of my own.   As i said, i was just stating that i too had the same suspicions, and personally being inexperienced, i assumed agencies were more secure.  that said, and not knowing where to start, I would certainly appreciate some guidance from experienced hobbyists such as yourself in discerning the fakes from the legits.  And just to clarify, are you saying agencies are not necessarily safe?  I'd hate to find out the hard way that agencies were nothing but a false sense of security for me.

indies vs agency this is a very individual choice no right or wrong. I am guessing you think agencies are safer, so this is why you see it this way. Problem is You have no history to fall back on to offer advice.

as stated before, play for a while before you try and offer advice on a situation you know nothing about.
Unverified assumptions are not the same as an experienced opinion.

If you want to make safer, screen well. See only ladies with 5 or more reviews and reviews on multiple sites. Back-channel with some of the people who reviewed her. Agencies are generally not LE but they keep records and when LE busts them lists of clients sometimes get published like when Desert Divas got busted. Never let anyone else do your screening, not even agencies. Not all agencies are on the up and up. There is not much safe about the hobby, that is why we must all be always vigilant in screening and other safe hobbying practices.

Excellent insight.  Thanks very much.  A great point that never occurred to me.  I have a lot to learn... sigh
