I am looking over my old reviews and I am thinking, maybe I should have rated a little higher in appearance because it looks like every is rating higher.  Personally, I consider a "7" a really attractive, but would a Provider take offense to that?  Also, I think I try to be as honest in the write up as possible to clear up any numbers and justify the number I gave.  So far, I have been real lucky (I do my homework) and have seen great Providers.  Thoughts?  

And if a "10" is once in a lifetime, how could you see that twice?

I believe you can request to change your review scores. Just contact the site.

Anyways, reviews give you an idea of what to expect and what not to expect.
The scores don't really mean much.
It's much more important to read the content of the reviews and backchannel with other hobbyists.

Some providers take the scores more seriously than others.
Some even go to the extent of getting an honest review removed just because they didn't like the score.

The description for the scores are there to give you an idea of how to rate a lady, which is why some guys never give 10s (or are waiting to once they retire and revise their scores).

If we went by the media's standards and expectations for female runway modeling, which is a minimum height of 5'8 and measurements of 34-24-34, most providers won't qualify for a 9 ("model material") or higher.

According to a poll done by the site awhile back, guys would rather see a 5/10 girl than a 10/5 girl.

When I receive an 8 I feel I have room for improvement. Maybe I should have taken more time to curl my hair, or put on a pair of heels, etc.  Not everyone has the same definition of model material, so according to Business I could never receive a 10 because I am not tall & skinny.

There are plus size models in the real world & thank God the majority of men love Latina's with curves!

....but the system is better than nothing.

I think each person has a slightly different way to rate and so as Businesses suggested, the write-up can be more insightful than the scores.

I personally rate a 10 as I can't imagine a better experience/looks.  There are equals, but I think her looks/experience was perfect.  A 9 is acknowledging that the 10 is a very difficult comp, but it still was very good -- essentially someone I would recommend and possibly repeat.  You can't forget that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  Some guys reserve 10s for tall lithe young blonds, while others it is the curvy MILFs.

I do think there is a natural anchoring towards providers' average.  As such, seeing a score different from their average is more of a flag for me and certainly a review that I read.  As an example, if someone has a 9.5 avg and an 8 comes in, that is a must read in my book.

Having said that, there are inherent problems with the system as is.  I really enjoy FBSM.  But, the way the current system works, she can be a 10 looks and 10 for FBSM, but is only eligible to earn up to a 7, unless she also is willing to performs the following during a session: kisses with tongue, bareback blow job, really bi, anal sex, or more than one guy. The addition of each offering will raise the score she is eligible for by one point.  Does that make sense for rating FBSM?!?  No.

I concur with John1234--I am a big fbsm fan--lots of sensuality and good old fashioned "touch"  I have had many an fbsm session that was head and shoulders above fs. I have had to  edit several reviews because I rated too high  ( I do understand the need for uniformity)-  But-I think that an FBSM provider that does  male  g spot, or allows fiv or fia, squirts or any number of other enhancements should be marked up on the rating scale.

On a 1 to 10 scale, 5 is average. Half are better, half are worse than a 5.

Even then, 5 isn't the average because there isn't a 0 for looks.
It would be 5.5

Since there are an even number of choices, (n+1)/2 is the midpoint that divides everything in half.
1-5 is included in the lower half, 6-10 included in the upper half.

The thread creator asked if it's possible to have more than one "once in a lifetime" experiences.

I was telling him not to take the description literally and used the media's modeling standards as an example.

I don't agree with the media's standards and feel that its expectations are too high and unrealistic for most women.

As I have been extremely happy with each Provider I have seen and would repeat.  Perhaps my number scores are lower than most.  I was just curious on people's opinions as I come close to having 20 reviews.

Does anybody have reviews with all 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 looks rated providers?
Any recommendations for a 1 or 2 or 3 looks rated provider that has great performance?
Who can be the first provider to maintain a 1-looks/10-performance rating with a I'd repeat recommendation?!!
Time for some strange searching on TER ...

true, but some folks are saying 7 is average...no way.

I think the "words" used to describe the number aren't that bad except for maybe 6 "nice" (that spot between 5-plain and 7-attractive) could/should be changed to like 'Cute enough' or 'Okay' because a 7/attractive imo also described a nice-looking woman *shrugs*.  10 should be like 'Genetic Lottery Winner' or something lol.
