Here the guys rate the providers.  But is it really fair that we (providers) don't get to rate them (hobbyists)?  Some are great but there are times that we are happy to see them leave.  And then when we get ranked lower because we are "perfect" and we have nothing to say about it.  Is it really fair.  We should be able to have a rebuttal or better yet...let us rank them!!  What do you say gals??

We ladies are providing a service. We know we are providing a service and it is not at all fair to A) Invade a client's privacy by rating him or B) rate a paying customer, period. They are the consumer and we are the provider of said service. In the business world, and we ARE business owners, owners do not rate their customers or clients. The consumer is always right and this is absolutely no different. This is a very personal and very private business, as is seeing a physician, dentist, therapist, massage therapist, etc. If any of the above professionals rated their patients/clients, they would have a major lawsuit on their hands and it's unnecessary to begin with.

So, if you don't want reviews yourself, that's fine. Request none be written and ask TER, TBD, ASPD, etc. to have your reviews removed. But it is NEVER, EVER okay to invade any client's privacy by writing reviews on him. Ever. Whether we open ourselves up to reviewing is completely up to us, as professional providers of a service, but it is not in the best interest of a Provider who screams the words, "I'm discreet" from the rooftops to rank or rate any person who partakes of our services. If I were a gentleman, I would think twice about seeing you as a provider as you clearly do not understand the boundaries of this business nor do you seem to want to operate your business the way every business in the world operates. If you don't like the client, don't invite him back to see you or ask him to leave before taking his money and showing him a bad time. That is what I do if I feel a client and I don't gel. This is a very expensive service and an intangible purchase, I refuse to take a man's money and show him a mediocre time. I would rather explain to him that I don't believe we have chemistry and point him in the direction of a lady with whom he WILL have chemistry so that his money is not wasted and he doesn't have buyer's remorse for purchasing time he can never have back.

This business is built on integrity, discretion, and trust. Ranking a client in any way, shape or form does not display any integrity on the part of the provider and it is a breech of discretion and trust. So, if you'd like to commit professional suicide, you feel free to do so. But I have too much respect for the job I do and the men who spend their very hard-earned dollars to enjoy my time to ever, ever even consider ranking a consumer, gentleman and in many cases, friend.

Regards,

Megan

PS Before you scream it's unfair, take a step back and realize you placed yourself in this business. If it's all too unfair or too much for you, perhaps you should begin to get your resume together and look for another career. Life is not fair, but in this business and every other business, fair is as fair does.

I dont rate the girls i date in a nonpro setting since that would be crass of me, heck i try not to even compare them to anyone else even mentally.
The reason we can and do review is simple. we pay for the sessions and want to know if we will get our moneys worth.
My views on public reviews are well known but its what we have on this board if you dont like your reviews then i suggest you leave them for the hobbiests that they were written for.

Life ain't fair-you are the ones providing the service, therefore the ones who can and should be rated on said service, so that others can be better informed as consumers.

Oh, and you ladies can and do rate hobbyists all the time, backchannel and privately amongst yourselves when enough of you get together in a room alone.

Don't think we don't know about that.

Frankly, this is about the only service industry I have ever heard of that would even consider the need for either rebuttal or rating of it's customer base.

Ask the guys at Jiffy Lube how you stack up as a customer next time you get your oil changed. Ask the guy at H&R Block if he felt his interaction with you was all it could be. Think your attorney cares, at 250 per, what kind of person you are?

Why should you? Everyone's entitled to their opinion, even ones that confict with our own.

It's nice that providers have a place to market their wares to here, but this IS a review site for hobbyists, first and foremost. Not a venue for egalitarian expression in the pursuit of fairness.

I've said for years if this is something providers genuinely feel they need, there are enough of you with the requisite computer skills to create a site to do exactly that. Might even be cathartic...but would you let the hobbyists rebut and refute YOUR reviews there?

Then again, why would THEY care? Hobbyists plunk their money down for what THEY want, not to earn a 7 or an 8 in the client performance or appearance department. The vast majority are deferential, respectful, showered, shaved and not entirely repellent, right?

I'd hope so, otherwise perhaps the civilian sector is calling...

But, I think at the end of the day, the vast majority of providers know better than to crap where they eat and mess with their livelihoods simply to pay homage to the doctrine of "fairness". The savvy and successful ones do anyway.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have used an alias, yes?

Let's just plant all our tongues firmly in cheek and get a nice laugh out of the idea.

Wonder how my plumber rated my performance the other day when he took 5 1/2 hours and 3 trips back and forth replacing my water heater?

I gave him a 5 for performance and a 3 for his plumber's crack. But I have hot water again, so perhaps I'm judging him too harshly...

Laughing, even if no one else is

You don't pay for the companionship and therefore you don't have to worry about getting what you pay for.

through screening?  When I contact a provider not only do I ask whether she has seen a client but also if she would see him again......

It has been my experience that if a provider has a bad experience with a client she is going to share.  Not quite a rating system, but one that allows us to stay relatively safe.  As it has been said, YMMV - not just on the provider side, but with clients as well.

Rating the clients makes no sense.  Megan was right - we are providing the service......

Happy Monday all!

about my micro willy. My Id, Ego, Libido (whichever of those cool words this applies to) coudn't take any additional abuse! LOL

Repsectfully, I am the customer and as long as I try to make you feel comfortable and safe and I show the respect you deserve, what would be accomplished by rating my prowess?

Or are you suggesting that we be rated on your comfort level with us? As others have said, "clicking" or not clicking is a YMMV thing.

another great post by Megan!!!!!!

Thank you
Terri

Yes life isn't fair.  And yes the hobbyist is the customer.  I agree with all statements BUT IT WAS MEANT TO SAY...
what would the GUYS think if we were able to rate them.  IT WAS MEANT AS A JOKE. Take it that way.

thought it was maybe a joke.  I hope the ladies do rate me and talk to each other so that they know I am a decent gentleman who has never been rude or asked for anything that would make the lady feel uncomfortable.  I hope I have a good reputation with the ladies I have met.
Peace
