I'd like to discuss the review...
I am unable to view it in entirety, so i don't want to jump to conclusions...
Please e-mail me so we can talk, Ok?

With the review he gave you it will soon be near impossable for us to hook up as your bookings will shoot through the roof.
ffosty sendzzz

hey lj, i gave you a 10 in performance and someone changed it  to a 7. i'm not sure why that happened - anyone have a clue?

Check out the rules for posting reviews.  There were some guidelines as to what constitutes numbers above 7 and 8.

Opinions may vary....

Get used to it, the "good guys" will read and if it is negative in any way do some research. So relax...

I am a bit leery of kissing & telling on the "general" discusion board...however...if it seems like I am over-reacting to a bit of criticism, or if I may have seemed a little "Businesslike" (His Words)
It was most likely due to his demeanor & an unusual request of his..............
       
To which I OBLIGED, by the way!!     So...as far as I'M concerned...I CERTAINLY went the extra mile w/ him...
just in that it doesn't fall into the category of a "typical" date...that's all!

What do you all think??  I AM curious to know!
And...For the Record...

I just wish that he would give credit where credit is due...in other words, to give a more accurate reflection of our time together!


NOTE from Mod: I edited out some of this post. She has a good point to make, however, I think some of what she had to say would have created problems (let's just say there was some information that would be better left unsaid).

got LOTS to talk to you about

It is all YMMV anyway.  Romantic26's review seems sincere, but it is only his take on price/performance ratio and personal preference; others might differ.

It takes several reviews to show the overall trend of a provider's performance.  Smart members of TER will not be overly alarmed by a so so review.

Link to SexxyKell's Eros Ad:
http://eros-sandiego.com/ads/sd-kelle1.htm

are very clear.  Here it is

"7.  In order to keep our performance ratings consistent, we set up the following system: An escort provider may only earn up to a 7, unless she also performs the following during a session: Kisses With Tongue, Bare-Back Blow Job, Really Bi, Anal Sex, or More than One Guy. The addition of each offering will raise her score by one point. If your review doesn’t already accurately reflect this rating system, we will adjust it."

I checked the link and???

Lara, I haven't yet had the pleasure of seeing you.  However, based on what I've read and discussed with others privately, I do want to see you eventually.

That said, the reviews are very subjective and not everyone uses the same scale for everything.  IMHO, the numbers are merely a convenient way to make some general conclusions about somebody.  I know that what I try to do is look at the overall trend or average of the reviews for a lady, and then look at the "flyers" or anomalies with caution.

There are very few providers that have 8's, 9's, or 10's in every single review.  Those that do are most likely very special indeed.

Keep smiling and treating people fairly and you will do just fine. I know it can be very unnerving to read the details and a clients opinion of the session here. I at first was turned away from here because I had been reviewed while working for a service and the guy trashed me for asking for tips...excorts with services only get about 50-75 to show up and then you factor in all that you have to do to get the guy to let you stay after you were certainly not the gilr in the picks well you know how it goes. the few so/so reviews I had were I think do to a lack of chemistry as i new right away who wrote them. The one that drove me nuts the most was One client that posted a review of me and embellished it soo much that I could have sworn i had never seen him. He stated that He had seen me three times and that I was "all business" after we finished...I won't elaborate but I was working far beyond my call of duty to do what I could for him. I never really got a straight answer out of him as to why he changed the reality of our appointment and I wouldn't see a girl three times that I only found to be a 6/5. Another client, a very cute guy, wrote a review of me that made it sound like a manual...I remebered him because he was really stoned (I think) or just really shy. He barely spoke and the room he had smelled like the waste basket in the ladies public john. I tried to ask him what he like etc. Several times and didn't get an answer just the typical "idon't know" Gentlemen if you cant tell us ladies what you like then you need to work on your communications abilities. The same guy wrote a review that gave me average stats and he said something about my technique beinf sloppy despite the sevral times I asked him how it felt and what he would like me to do. I could tell that we weren't having any chemistry so I tried not to worry about it but was still a bit bummed when he said some of those things because he had the ower to change things and make them better and didn't
Then there are the guys that give you good reviews but you have still never seen them. I let that one stand as it was froma long time poster and no services were mentioned that I don't offer. This place and the e-mails and phone calls can really make you nuts if you let them. my first few months I was always checking to see what they had said about me....now I just do my thing the best I can and laugh my ass off at the hilarity of some of the letters I get sent...that was the best part of the providers forum
on the TBD all the support on how to deal with this very unusual game we play here and the postings of all the very funny e-mails that we all can get. I have one friend who still sheds tears when she thinks of the review where the guy said her neck wrinkles kept distracting her....So be happy that you are getting out to such a good start here and no one is saying you have a mental problem or a big scary fish in a dirty tank and a puss that smelled like sweatcocks and BO (god that was a funny review)and if the reviews, however helpful, continue to bother you ask your clients not to post them or try a few dating sights to advertise on as the guys are often unfamiliar with these places and haven't seen so many escorts so they don't try to critique you so much. Always being scrutinized when we are trying to act like our lovely sensual selves can make me feel just the oposite and many of the gents here love the critique almost as much as the session. like all things that are bad for you this too can become addictive and the things that a client may or may not say about you means zilch in the real world. Sorry to have gone on so long but it is very common for newbies to feel the way that lara does. Remember, Laugh and smile whenever you can as it is contagious ...and don't let the silly side of this place make you feel anything but humour, After all the tone of the review you asked about was very good and from the way it was written I believe that businesslike is a complement coming from him

I never really paid attention to writing or reading full reviews. But I can tell you, from the info above, I won't even bother looking twice at a provider unless she has consistant 8's or 9's no matter how good looking. I'm sure some of you have your standards but it might make you think twice about the services you offer?

you see the thing is that this site tends to create and enviroment that makes it very easy for the men here to just run on dick powered auto pilot. Please don't take this personally but I am not at all interested in seeing a client that can only see a provider as a number on a rating scale. In my professional life as well as my personal life i have found with out a doubt that men who look deeper into women and respect those who take care of them selves and don't choose to take chances, however slight some people may think they are, are the more intelligent and are capable of reading an entire review or webage without any trouble at all. The fact of the matter is  that an emotionally healthy intelligent women with standards appeals to many men...men that I happen to find extremely good lovers, companions and people. I average 7 and 8's on my reviews but many whom I see say I am the best they have ever had and have never written any reviews of anyone. I do not say that I rovide certain services but there have always been those secial ones and they have respected my choice to only do some things with a select few....My point? well my point is that the rating systems here is just a system to keep you guys from getting ripped off and they are extremely objective numbers. The fact that you fail to realize this or look deeper into  the providers on this sight than their numbers just shows how narrow minded you are. I am sure you are perfectly happy with your system for summing up quality trim and as long as that trim chooses to see men who are mysoginistic and intelligently tapped out as you, then your world will be perfect...make no mistake though the numbers here and your opinions really do not effect the rest of us with more self respect than to value ourselves and the quality of our services base on the numbers here. there is a huge world out there of wonderful clients that concern themselves with just seeing a normal well adjusted and of course attractive escort that takes care not to spread diseases or give more of themselves than they are comfortable with. We are not just providing a service we are doing something that can affect us greatly if we do not take care to keep a certain amount of us to us. It is not possible to have those 9 and ten encounters with everyone at least not for me. There has to be a real connection and that takes two people that respect eachother and can connect on a level playing ground. Maybe if more clients weren't so busy trying to critique us and acting like they were raised by drunken monkeys the escorts would relax more and be able to provide the quality of service you think you so greatly deserve

Well, I DO kiss w/ tongue...Just Not Everyone, that's all.
I just CAN'T handle a guy either shoving his tongue down my throat -or- slobbering all over my face...it Simply RUINS the mood, ya know?!?!

As far as being "Really BI"...I have had a long-term relationship w/ a woman before.  I, in fact, was with a woman WAY before i was ever w/ a man...believe it -or- not!
Also, I recently ran a post looking for a Female Playmate =)

SO...I think that more than qualifies me for an "Over 7" rating.
The other pre-requisites are just unsafe in my book...Sorry!
Hope this helps to clear things up some on why I was confused as to "Romantic26" review.
(that along w/my other kiss & tell post...Yikes!!)

You are Very Thoughtful to have taken the time to set my mind at ease...Thank-You!  I appreciate the words of wisdom =)

I see now that I have over-reacted...pardon me...I guess I just got a different impression of how it went for him.
All-in-all it was a positive review & I shouldn't worry so-

Please excuse my tendency to obsess over the little details...I guess I just pride myself in my work & want to make everyone feel that it was "time well spent".
Oh my Fragile Ego....how embarassing...

Your descision to edit out a bit of what I originally wrote is Much Appreciated!!
I had regretted it immediately after I clicked on the "Post" button...so I am releived to say the least!
My message still got across, but with a greater amount of tact =)

Sincerly-
*Lara*

lj,  i gave you a 10 and you deserved it . . .and i'll tell all who ask - you're a 10.......

Seems to be a mix up here.  There's both a Times25 and a Romantic26.  I think Times thinks this post has been about him...when I think she was upset about Romantic's post.

I apologize.  I tried to be honest at the time I wrote the review, but I think the problem was partly that I wasn't feeling happy within myself that day.  It really is YMMV, and I certainly don't wish to hurt anyone's feelings.  Lara is a nice girl!

You wrote  "....the quality of service you think you so greatly deserve."

Try again. How about the quality of service I PAY for. This is a business. Money is exchanged. I see it as nothing more than buying a piece of meat. If I tell you I want X,Y and Z and you don't perform X,Y and Z then you fail. I should get a refund and allowed to say you misrepresent your self. The same as I would about VONS or Ralphs, the other places that sell meat.

The fact that some of you have feelings, that you are sensitive, intelligent and you're people too and all that crap, really bugs the hell out of me. WHO CARES? I don't want that out of you. I want a piece of tail to do what I say. Other than that shut the hell up.

The bottom line is this is the oldest business around and it will never ever change. Always has been always will be the same way. Guys want a piece of ass for the best deal they can get. To me providers are disposable. If most of them were to fall off the face of the world today, so what? There will be a fresh new crop right behind you. Some women know what men want and will provide it for a price, others just don't get it. I will therefor only continue to see providers who average an 8 or above.

Grade A, Prime choice quality cuts - of meat is what I'm after. You want my money or not?

I hear if what you're looking for is a piece of meat you can indeed find it at the butcher shop.

You certainly don't represent everyone who is in this market. Some of us want a little more or perhaps different is the way to phrase it. While some such as yourself want an expensive piece of meat (won't a slab of liver suit your needs?) others want more levels to the interaction. Perhaps a piece of plastic will suit your needs and be reusable too.

When I pay a doctor $100 for 10 minutes of his/her advice I don't tell him what to say. All service industries provide something intangible whether it be advice (attorneys) or listening (psychologists) or perhaps a fantasy (franchise salepeople.) Not all cash transactions are objects. You choose how you wish to spend your money - by all means - but you don't choose how I wish to spend mine. Similarly provider of various sevices choose what customers they wish to cater too. It's a surprisingly free market.

trick baby who was forced to live on inferior processed pork products your whole life and you are trying to work out some issues. Point is big man T if you tried treating your providers with some common human courtesy you might not have such a problem getting your moneys worth. If i had the misfortune and temporary lapse of brain activity necessary to book an appointment with a troglodyte like yourself you would definately get your money back...after I had torn it into tiny little pieces first...
P.S.get a cosco size tub of dip to go with that huge chip on your shoulder it should go well with the ground round you pick up so frequently
