"This is a man's, man's, man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl" --James Brown

Well because they can

I for one dont mind a girl in sweet pants and no make up it shows the real you. If you have one bad review and a 100 good ones, its just that the guy didnt like you. I myself take no stock in the one review.

This is a funny kind of world we operate in.  

Imagine someone not being forthright among Ladies who rent out their affections and skills and the Mongers who line up for such services.....

What is this world coming to?

In this Hobby we are all forced into trusting some people who by their nature, self included, are somewhat untrustworthy. What I mean by that is that although I have never stiffed or not paid what it was I was suppose to pay, I, by being at the set appointment was usually operating outside normative behavior. So among Mongers and Ladies I am trustworthy.  According to any Wife or any marriage contract I am a lying ,cheating bastard who should not be trusted.

So in my opinion this Hobby is in line with the "Dogs and Fleas" analogy and should not be taken any other way.  

Sorry if you were hurt or lied about and your business has suffered because of that. In the end however if your skills and service are more in line with the balance of your reviews your business will not be impacted greatly. The other party ,if he was lying, will be found out over time and  will suffer from not being called back by the Ladies he desires to see.

Be Well.

in creating a review site for providers to review clients?

I'd start one if I thought I could quit my day job.

That's the way the world works.  Do chefs get to rate their customers?  Do authors get to rank their reviewers.  Do actors and directors get to rebut their reviewers?  You get $400 an hour to fuck.  Why shouldn't guys who are considering paying you that much money be able to read reviews to find out if your services are worth that to them? That's the entire reason TER was founded.  If you don't like it, delist yourself and see how you do.  Or join those disgruntled OTHFBs on Twatter.

what did you expect?

I'm smelling an older review that was posted just last month and you didn't notice until now. Cheap scumbag sounds like a guy that didn't want to pay the upcharge.

I think provider references are basically a way to review the clients.

Most of your reviews are positive. You have like one other review that's slightly negative, so overall I doubt one negative review is going to ruin your business. Hell, I wouldn't mind setting a date with you with a record that good, alas, I don't live anywhere near you.

Ty Cobb has the best career batting average in major league baseball of .367 over 24 seasons (imagine the sort of money he'd be making if he played today!). Arguably, one of the best indicators of superior athletic performance in a major sporting endeavor in the last 100 years.

Consider that he didn't make it to first base 2/3 of the time that he came to the plate!  

Ya getting keep getting up to bat and ya gotta keep swinging -- if you get a strikeout, take the lesson and move on to the next inning.

I can think of a few 10/10s I could write...

And in my references, I all but do.

Otherwise, twice this year, I have had completely false reviews posted. The first was a 5/2 (Haha! Yeah, ok buddy.) And the second was in line with my others. Even though the most recent fake wasn't bad at all, it made me very uneasy. If you want to brag about your huge Johnson, start a thread and leave it off of my page.

Stop complaining about your bad ones, take away any of the criticism and use it to deliver a better experience for your customers!
