What is the board view of reviews?  Are reviews meant to be affirmations of the woman (i.e. "white knight"), or straight-up honest, or are there other nuances I'm missing?  Is our responsibility to the provider, to weave a happy tale, or to the hobbyist, ensuring the truth on the quest for happy tail?

to guide other clients as to what to expect if and when they ever see this provider.

be accurate as to a provider's appearance, what took place, and perhaps the incall if anything was amiss. If the provider does not look like her pics, then that should be stated. I agree with mrfisher in that some providers do not do a very good job of keeping their photos up-to-date. Some ladies do not change much in physical appearance but some do; whether it be weight gain, hair color/style, etc. I know that if I have scheduled time with a brunette provider with long hair, I don't want to see a provider with short red hair behind the door when it opens. Hobbyists are visual.

Would have been if we could have read a few of yours and see if you're getting it right, or not, but you chose to use your alias.  

I look for a balance of Consumer Reports (facts, descriptions of physical qualities, where and what happened) along with some background "ambience" description and analysis of what has taken place. I'm writing a review for the benefit of my fellow clients, so they can gauge whether they would have a similar experience with the provider. I talk about what is important to me so they can see how that might line up with their wants and needs.

I'm going to go at this head on.  

I like real, honest reviews..How many ladies are really 9s or 10s on the looks department? 10 is supposed to be once in a lifetime and should be a rarity..once in a lifetime.  

In an environment generally full of white knights and sensitive providers, don't be a coward?  The review was more than fair, quite positive with the caveats.  I'm not concerned about that.   But it would be interesting to see white knights come out, if they had a human (provider) to pin it on.

Ah, looks like Mastoff here has some balls after all! Good on you.

If you think reviews are too lenient, make a mental recalibration.  Just about everything in life is relative.  There is a gold mine of data if you know how to analyze it.

But based on the ones I saw I'd say she's a solid 7.  I can't see her face because it's blurred but her body looks great for someone in her 40s.  But that's just my subjective opinion.  

"But based on the ones I saw I'd say she's a solid 7.  I can't see her face because it's blurred but her body looks great for someone in her 40s.  But that's just my subjective opinion. "

I stopped giving reviews, good or bad.

"Yeah, you really have to read the actual text, such as "didn't look under 55. The photos are her, but from a different decade.""

Reviews are not the absolute, straight up truth.  One guy posted the same review for me, changed the #numbers on different sites.  Reviews are one-sided, only for men.  It comes down to how positive the brain is about sex and women.  If not positive, those said reviewers are talking about themselves.  One thing for sure, the divine female is under attack on this planet.  It's been going on since Alexander the Great.  

Her is a picture from her own website.

I am the same age and I too would bet money that she is older than us.

Haha!...I agree. Based on her pics, she's obviously well into her 50's and looks a bit desperate. Tacky, tacky, tacky. What's up with those tits?!! Yikes!! I'd give her a 6 body, 5 face.

See, I don't disagree with you on everything, not  only do we agree a lot, but sometimes I even say it first.

If the "divine female is under attack" she deserves to be. We're no more divine than the coal we're made out of. \

And you, my friend, are what's called a "white knight".  @justsauce16, you see what we're up against?  Someone who hasn't seen her defends her against an honest review.

I didn't whine about how old she is.  I was disappointed that she's a lot older looking that even that.  

Anyone who expected a "mid-40's MILF" after looking the pictures on this woman's web site is either blind or stupid. The woman in the pics is at least a "Rode hard" mid fifties and more likely well into her sixties.

I try and base my review scores (looks) off of what I've graded a similar provider.  It's hard to figure out what what society thinks a 7 or 8 looks likes, but 9 is normally gorgeous on any level or perception and 10 is subjective.  The lady in question (Heather) although she clearly isn't 41-45, I would say she's at least a 7, but I'm being subjective because IMO she has a nice body.  

For the most part reviews are useless.
They all read EXACTLY the same.
"She O'd, she liked it" yada yada yada....bunch of bullcrap.  
Reviews are SUPPOSED to be for the benefit of fellow hobbyists.
I ever meet one of the jackalopes who ends with "treat her right, guys" I'm going to smack him upside his empty head.
Pay her and tip her. That's the arrangement. But sucking up to her is just pathetic, especially at the expense of the very guys you're committing to that your assessment is true and accurate.

I asked for a woman's opinion. We do "Lifestyle" things several times a year. "If I saw and ad with those pictures I wouldn't even consider it. At a club, party or resort the answer would be no. Even if her guy looked like George Clooney."

And you, my friend, are what's called a "whiny pussy."  

I am in awe of your reading skills, and lack there-of.  Go back to post #1.  The whole point was, what's the culture of the board?  Is it honesty or is it white knightage.  You're a white knight, more people here seem to prefer honesty, but I can adapt either way.   You, who just made the crack about "safe space", are the one trying to provide a hazy and dishonest safe space for providers by accepting their out-of-date photos as canon proof.

but of course that would be on a scale of 1-100. lmao

I've never given anyone an awful review (like below a 6 on performance), but I've had a couple of girls write to me and complain because it wasn't a 9 or 10 and they thought they deserved it and I messed up their average.
