Seattle area hobbyists - in seeing a couple of providers in the Seattle area - I have a qualm about the review process.  It seems that some providers are getting a 9 or 10 on looks when they are Not model quality or once in a lifetime experience.  These scores are supposed to be reserved only for the special.

It seems due to past ratings hobbyists are greatly infuenced by the marks already received by providers and because we do not want to stir up any trouble many who would not rate a provider as highly in looks tend to Not do a review so as not to "cause any trouble" in the community.  Also, it seems providers are able to remove poor reviews.

My question is this:  If some providers are providing older pictures of themselves and the looks rating scale is off the mark and providers can remove bad reviews, how do we know where to spend our hard earned money?  Any feedback how the TER rating system can be improved?

I'm not responding to the question "how to improve the review process".

I do agree with your remarks about the rating of the "looks".  I have met alot of these ladies reviewed and where the looks should have been rated FAR HIGHER or FAR LOWER, I too was perplexed.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder ?  I've met people where upon meeting them initially, I did not find them that attractive but as time went on, due to their incredible personality, they became very attractive.  Perhaps that is possible in this case.

I dunno !  Good catch though.  I'm surprised that no one has mentioned it before.

In the ratings of looks, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and one man's 6 is another man's 10.  As for the providers having out of date pics, the only thing one can do in their review is state that the reality doesn't match the photo.

I have issues with the performance ratings, if I'm not mistaken 8 and above are for service above and beyond the call of duty (BBBJ, DFK, anal....).  I've seen FSBM reviews with an 8 rating.  WTF is that all about?

All one can do is if the lady has a few reviews look at her averages and go from there because they are allowed (although not on my dime) to have a bad day.

This is why you should have posted reviews, to add to the info.  No question beauty is in the eye....I tend to look for reviews from certain hobbyists that I am familiar with.

True, kinda hard to criticize the reviews if you aren't writing them yourself.
