I've seen many low reviews removed by TER after a provider complains. That to me is the problem as much as infatuated hobyists.

...and would like to reiterate my apology to the community.

Hobbyists,

I may get slammed by providers about this thread, but I will say it anyway. As tragic as Sofia Eiffel's situation is (i.e. drug addiction led her to lie and defraud), we hobbyists need to protect each other and keep ourselves informed of the truth. Every dollar we hand out is 100% US, greenback, in god we trust legit. It pays for food, shelter, clothing, vacations and god knows what else for those who get it. And it sounds like more and more, that we hobbyists in exchange get what? Someone who is 10 years older, 20 pounds heavier than what we expected and what we were led to believe?

If so, let's express our opinions via reviews with grace and dignity. Don't be mean or hateful, but gosh darn it, let's write those reviews, give those providers your true opinion of 6s and 7s instead of 9s and 10s, because you know what, by not being forthcoming we hurt the honor and value of what TER is all about. We the hobbyists get shortchanged time and again.

By being "nice" we who go out and work hard for our money end up giving it away - yes, giving it away - for something that is not anywhere near what we were led to believe. For those who see the same gal but feel she is a 9 or 10, great, well fantastic, please write the reviews too and be a repeat customer. But when people refrain from writing lower score reviews to be "nice", then all we start seeing are loads of girls with 9s and 10s. Then what happens is new customers searching for variety are lured into a new appointment,  are surprised and disappointed because someone who is supposedly 28 yrs old looks 38 instead, but walks away having shelled out 4,5,6 hundred clams or more saying "what the heck were those other reviewers talking about?" (i am referring more to physical appearance than performance here...)

That thread about Sofia proved the power of the network effect, where by sharing and combining information we can ultimately unveil the untarnished, undeniable and unequivocal truth when someone out there is stealing - yes, stealing - our money by lying as in: posting photos that are not even close to representative, having fake reviews written, so on so forth.

As for me, I have decided to grow some balls and request at the outset a "door check" policy, where I reserve the right to walk away if I do not believe the real person mirrors what has been described in the ad. Sure, I might have less appointments but you know what, this is buyer's market and there are absolutely tons of women in LA or Vegas or elsewhere who really ARE gorgeous and 100% real and exactly as they advertise (like Adriana Deville, or Katie Flowers) and who in a heartbeat would be ok with this kind of door check because there is no lying or misrepresentation.

You can say whatever you want, that it is marketing blah blah blah - but to me, at the end of the day, when people are subtracting 5,6,7 years and 10-15 pounds, it's friggin lying and it's distasteful, and hobbyists get shortchanged. And I for one am sick of it.

I just started in the hobby and was on the receiving end of the whole SE situation. I wrote a review yesterday after reading the posts, but now seeing what's happened seems like there is not much left to say.

Seems to me like there needs to be a re-evaluation of trust here. How much can we trust not only the advertising, but the reviews? Sounds like a lot of fake or inaccurate reviews are out there, or lots of people with poor taste in women who give out 10s just for showing up with a pair of knockers...

Sad...I thought TER was the best place for info but now i wonder...

I salute you ,
This is not only for the protection of us hobbyist but for all the amazing other ladies whose reviews are tarnished .
Like any business competition is fierce in this economy ,but it's no excuse to lie , be deceitful and not provide services that are not up to what's advertised . If this was a legal business we would other avenues we could pursue ,alas ....

Yes, that needs to change and honestly TER needs to re-examine that policy big time. With that said, there are other avenues such as posting a thread and inviting others to PM, and make sure that you get out that info to as many people as possible via PM.

But I agree - TER removing reviews is almost as bad as those out there who are lying/deceiving. That's a major beef I have with TER and it irks me to no end.

that i am 44 and when u see me i look like i'm on my 30's, u would still walked out of the door???...
LoL...i can't HELP it u know that's how my genes is...anywhere i go i get id'd specially when i bet on  Kenu in LV...

You see, that is the problem...some ladies do get affected by deceit too u know...

For those of us who feel so strongly let's make a commitment to keep each other informed if PM is that avenue .
Ter does not have our back ,why don't they remove "the so called reviewers"they seem to be able remove reviews

Bizeb, you have my commitment on that, please feel free to PM me anytime. As well as any other hobbyists out there that feel strongly about protecting the integrity of this community, keeping it safe, clean and most importantly HONEST from lies and falsities.

Beauty is also, subject to personal preference, or opinion.  I for one have to thank you for posting this thread, and being a positive member of this great community.  I have never been turned away at the door because I pride myself in being 150% natural, no photo shop, or bluring of my tattoos, imperfections, etc. honesty is very important to me.  I would rather be truthful, than waste my time, or money because this is a 2 way street fellas.  We respectful honest providers invest in ourselves & this business with plenty of expences, so take these facts into account when booking a quality date!

For those who have been around a long time kudos to you for staying on top working women with kids I respect you it is easy to come in this late in the game & be on top 100 lists because you have used this system to your advantage.  I appreciate & respect your candor.  Honest reviews is what TER was established for!

you my dear are a perfect example of the ladies whose reputations are being hurt ,I have had the pleasure of meeting you,you are the exact person you represent both in looks and personality.
We as a community need to have more meet and greets as Bond does up in LA,it showcases both the ladies who having nothing to hide in a safe secure environment with hobbyist who can evaluate in person the ladies he wishes to see.
Why haven't more ladies made any effort to respond to these posts?

An interesting place for a comment on ethics and morals LOL.

Ms Diwata, I don't think that that's what he implied. I believe he meant that to those who advertize that they are in their "30's" turn out to be in their "40's".  Advertizing seems to be a key here. You may truly look much younger than your age, at least to some people, however advertizing that your one age when you're actually much older has it's negative consequences.  BTW, i prefer  and search out "mature" ladies only. I'm happiest with their services.
