If I had a session with a provider and I thought she deserved a five for performance and that what I gave her. Why should it be my concern if it hurts her business? I did not buy a stock from her. Where I would get a percentage of future business from my review. The chances that I will see her again are none, because of her performance was just average when she was with me.

I am only making this statement because there are a lot of guys on here that seem to give higher score because they don’t want to hurt the provider business. If I were a restaurant critic how long would I be one if I fallow this practice?  

Now when I write a review of a session I try to be open and honest about the session and give a fair number on her performance with me. If she rocks my world she gets a ten. But if she was just average then she gets a five. I just want the next guy that read my review know how my time spent with her was. As everybody states on here do your homework, check review. The question I would have if everybody is not giving true and accurate reviews of their session how can we all trust the review systems then? It is not up to us men to write or give a higher number just because we want to help the lady out. Just give a true review number on her performance

It is up to the provider to give the best session to every guy that she sees, if she wants to get above a seven. It is her business and she should treat every guy that she sees, as a guy that is going to write a review of his session with her.

This pov on this subject, you can ad your as you wish or what ever you may like.

Thank you

Should expect a 10 in performance on every visit.
 

...somehow you manage to get a 10 on every IQ test.  That's consistency!!

If you feel you did not get your money's worth, and she did not offer to make it right when you mentioned it to her (i.e. poor customer service) then by all means, go ahead and hurt her business if you feel that's what she deserves. Ah, but you are not a paid critic with a responsibility to your readership.  
On second thought, the free VIP days can be considered a form of payment.... so yeah, if you're going to review a lady, then be honest. However, unlike a food critic reviewing a restaurant, YOU are not obligated to write one in the first place.
   
What exactly IS average? What constitutes rocking your world?   You see, that's the problem: what is average to you, may well be pretty darn great to the next guy.  It's that whole personal opinion thing, you know.  I really like sauerkraut but other people wouldn't eat it if you paid them.  It's still the same dish, but some people will enjoy it more than others.
Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, an experience also is subject to the personal opinion of the participant.

As to trusting the reviews...... I rarely blindly trust content written by strangers on the internet.  Research the reviewer prior to putting trust in his/her word.  

My advice is to take all the scores with a huge grain of salt and focus more on the written content, preferably from established reviewers, to get a good sense of what to expect with each lady.

I do agree with you and no buts.

Thank you or your pov

Debbie,

I see your POV but the problem has become that guys are writing reviews for their provider and not for the other hobbyists, which is the way it's supposed to work.
His idea of a 10 may vary greatly from someone else's but that's the entire point of the exercise, to get varying ideas and ideals.  
I think if she was 5 to him that's exactly what he should say.
What I've noticed on too many reviews is that a girl will get a lousy review and then the next one will blow you out of the water (pun intended)
Just seems too coincidental because it happens too often to be real.  
A little honesty in evaluations is appreciated

END OF MESSAGE

The story goes that other companies you want to evaluate will refuse to allow you direct access to the company resources to perform your due diligence if they fear a similarly tough evaluation, even if it is honest. The companies are more inclined to give access to those with a record of favorable evaluations

I find it weird when a guy gives a lady a pretty low score like 5/6 and then raves about her in the review. I've seen a few like this and I just don't understand. Clearly that guy's 6 rocked his world. Lol!!

I agree with you. The objective of writing a review should be as simple as providing an honest account of your experience. If the experience was a negative or not so stellar one, perhaps one should detail the different factors that could've contributed to it.  

Unless a person has some kind of personal vendetta against a provider, I don't see why a client would give an unfavorable or biased review for the sake of it. Who would waste their money that way? I get that some people can have unreasonable expectations but I just assume those are few and far in between. Perhaps I'm naive I'm that regard.

I welcome all reviews. I don't unreasonably expect all of my reviews to be outstanding but that's what I strive for. It keeps me on my toes and motivates me to strive for a great reputation (that among other things). I wouldn't want someone to be dishonest or omit unfavorable details because I can learn from them. Maybe I'd feel differently actually experiencing it but this is my opinion thus far.

This is not to say that every single time a bad time is had by the client, it is the client's fault but every time I have not had a great time I could not say to myself that I had nothing to do with it.  Maybe the lady noticed that I was not that enthused by her looks, for example.   The way I figure it, if I did not get ripped off, I did not feel in danger, the lady showed up on time and she was clean, I chalk it up to experience, no need to hurt somebody's livelihood simply because we did not hit it off, both parties are humans, not machines.

and that is that some gals will refuse to see TER members who are tough (i.e. fair) graders because they fear lowering their overall standing in the rankings.

Therefore, you could, in fact, hurt your chances of seeing someone you want to see.  It is for this reason, and others, that TER started to allow members to use aliases to write their reviews.  Of course, that brings up a whole other list of concerns which I won't get into right here, but they have been aired on these boards before.

My feeling on the matter is that numerical scores and rankings should be done away with, and just the text of the reviews remain so that people have to read them to know what they are getting.  It might create problems for those who want things to be easy, but easy can create problems.

Promote business.Welcome back to business.

using categories of service instead of numbers.

Once in a lifetime/extraordinary
Great Time/Definitely would repeat
Good time/Might repeat  
OK time/ Probably won't repeat  
Poor service/Definitely won't repeat  
Ripoff/scam

Without an alias, which I never use when doing a review, there still are those things you mention Fish that could lead to other providers not wanting to see you.  

Then again, most of the ladies I've had the pleasure, vett clients well enough to discern scoring patterns ... as well as of those he rates poorly. If he never gives more than a 7, that's probably him. If the escort never gets more than a 6, then it's prolly not him.  

I've seen both where scores are concerned. I've never understood why a guy would see an escort with consistently low scores ... except for he's cheap or he's gonna convert her to a nine ... lol

Which was outstanding by description, and the numbers were 7 or 6.

I look at the numerical rating as they do with figure skating, throw out the worst and the best and consider the rest. I still read the content of the worst and the best.

I see a lot of ladies who have all 8's to 10's and then one review of a 6, with a bad review. I however recognise and am aware of how fragile the useless male ego is, and I imagine some guy who can't get an erection and blames her.

So, for me the numbers aren't too important, unless they are very low for all her reviews.

All hookers guilty promoting business on boards.Don't flatter yourself.You was really nice email to me.Now showing your ass on boards.LMAO

You are EXACTLY what is wrong with the review system and the reason that changing the rating system. redefining the numbers, or any other tweaking that TER might do to the system, won't do a bit of good if guys are too chickenshit to "tell it like it is"

and yes, I called you chickenshit.  

So you are saying that if you walk in expecting a 25 year old hottie, but end up with a 40 year old fattie, then its' your fault and you shouldn't call her out for posting fake pics as long as she is clean and doesn't attempt to rob you?  

You have just jumped into contention for both the BSU and SPOTY titles in a single post, Congratulations.  

and BTW, I meant it when I called you a chickenshit. I just want to make sure there are no misunderstanding in that regard.

I don't mind having the SPOTY or the BSU, we have had this conversation before.    First, if I think that there was an issue of chemistry, I am not going to fuck around with a lady's ability to feed herself and probably her children.   Second, in cases in which the lady is highly rated by everybody, I am not going to be the one who comes out and gives her a score that is completely out of the norm, I would just rather not review.   I have seen what has happened to some guys for daring to give someone a fucking 7, not going to go through it.   So yeah, the shitty sessions I will keep to myself.    Does part of it have to do with being a chickenshit?   ABSOFUGGINGLUTELY!    
Am I ashamed of it?   Hmmm, let me think about it really quickly, NOOOOOO

Yes, I know I could review as an alias, but going back to GaG's point, that would be even more of a chickenshit move, I am not going to hide behind an alias.   So, if I have something nice to say and I can say it honestly, I will, if I don't have something nice to say, I will keep it to myself.    We know I am not the only who does it that way.    

Not that you accused me of my reviews being worthless, but going back to that point which was so eloquently expressed by GaG, I feel that doing an honest good review contributes some to the community.    Want to pillory me for not wanting to do bad reviews?  I understand that POV but it is not worth it and I hate the idea of grading women like fucking cows or pigs, sorry.  So, if I can do it in a good context, I will, if not, I will pass.

Though you didn't give ME a 10/10 and I fuck you like you're the last man on earth.

Probably because you know how to make a woman feel super sexy, and the shit you do/say to me makes me so wet, I need to re-hydrate like I just drank an entire bottle of scotch. You even made me feel like the hottest chick in town when I had short hair and was 30# heavier. LOL

I get hangovers from so much water loss by the way you treat me.

Mmm... mmm.. mmm.. damn.

And then when the beast does come out in you, when someone crosses a line. Me-ow.

next month's date.  You are going to hold that 9 against me for a long time, aren't you?  I noticed you jabbed me about it in LV last month.  lol!   That is a score I may have to re-think because you have gotten even hotter the last year and a half, the long hair is awesome.     As for the other score, it is part of what is wrong with the system, because that 10 should really be a 15 on a 10 scale.

Want to make out in front of everybody?

END OF MESSAGE

Let's make this really messy.

And I'm just yanking your chain. You can keep my amazing-ness hidden. I know you like me

Gambler, this is your chance to say "GET A ROOM"!  HAHAHA

As long as you are truthful and consistent and don't use the anonymity to be "big and brave" like some of the keyboard warriors and internet tough guys here, there is nothing cowardly at all about reviewing from behind an alias.  

Even bars and restaurants have "secret shoppers" are their reviews and comments less reliable because they are done anonymously? It could be argued that their comments are more accurate, not less because of the anonymity. If a woman has a bad attitude, or looks nothing like her pics, why should you reward her with your silence?

So he WAS, you're chickenshit and your reviews ARE worthless.  
Good to know

The tongue is working, you just have to imagine it right now.

Wait - you're supposed to fly me. I may need to step up my game a bit so I can get a private jet. Can you buy me a private jet?

I would have no problem reviewing a restaurant anonymously and giving them a bad review if it was honest.    Going back to my original post, this is the most personal service that can be had and I do not treat it the same way as everything else.   I can see why you, and many others, would say that I am wrong but this is not a restaurant serving you noodles.

Now, when I have been disappointed by looks, I can't honestly say that the lady "looked nothing like her photo," perhaps the full face was not showing.   I can be picky about looks and personality and a lady should not have to suffer for that.     A lady should also not suffer if I completely turned her off, that is OK, we are not robots.

Actually, Sarah, there is a reason for that.  My first ever review for TER was of my ATF, and I tried to give her a very high score, but because I was a new reviewer, and her average scores were lower than what I was trying to give her, my review was denied until I lowered the score.  I should add that she is now getting higher scores, but my guess is that they come from more established reviewers.

Some reviews you know are a waste of time
Such as the ones that end " treat her right, guys"
Or "thanks, Brumhilda, see you again soon"
But those that don't review when something isn't right...I don't mean she didn't rock your world that day, I do mean when she's drunk or high, the place is a mess, things that are real and not just subjective...shouldn't be a VIP because they defeat the entire purpose of writing reviews

not me, sorry.

if i had a bad time, unless i know that i had some kind of problems walking in the door, i'm laying it all at her feet.

because, that's the deal we have.  she's going to entertain me.

sorry but i am an entertainer by profession (not quite as intimate, thank you) and if the audience doesn't respond to my act, it's not their fault.  i have to search myself to see what i did poorly that time to not elicit a good reaction from my audience.

now, that doesnt' mean when i see a lady itry to be as grumpy and hard to please as possible.  quite the opposite, i truly believe that if my partner is enjoying herself, i will enjoy myself more.

but if her appearance is obviously much older than her pictures, if she tries to upsell, if her incall is dirty, if she's distant and not attentive, if she seems bored, if she's on her phone texting during our session... hey that's not on me.  that's her not doing her job welll.  and my review should reflect that.

admittedly i over-rate; it's a bad habit i am trying to break.  however in my defense the last few ladies i have seen have been so out of this world i would give them 11/11 if i could.  but i do know some women i saw a couple years ago i should have given 7/8's to, instead of the 10/10.  my bad.

and said he had a good time and would repeat.  to me, that's at least an 8.

where does it say the reviews are for the benefit of the men?

not saying it shouldn't be that way; just curious exactly where it is stated that men are the beneficiaries of the review process first and foremost.  i couldn't find anything to that point on the landing page or on the submit a review page.

all i'm reacting to is all the butthurt the boys whine about when they think a reviewer is favoring a woman above and beyond what they think he should.  i'll admit i over-rate, but i don't remember signing a loyalty pledge to my gender before i wrote my first review.

i write reviews primarily to get vip days, then secondly as a writing exercise to expand my descriptive powers.  i'm honest if overly gushing in a woman's abilities.

i probably could (if it were possible) re-adjust my numerical scoring down a couple of notches on a few women in my earlier reviews; however i stand by my high scores i've given out during the past 6 months, i have luckily come across (pun intended) several stellar women.

but i don't see how the scores i assign are cheating the system or defeating the purpose.  maybe i'm not helping you guys decide at a glance what you want to do, but you are always welcome to pm me for details about anyone; i have more than once been honest in pm's about a woman's performance, even if i gave her high scores

I am sorry, that is Bob.Sugar's department, I can only buy you a hot tub jet.  Notice I said only the hot tub jet, I cannot afford the whole thing!

Let's see if you understand this, read it s-l-o-w-l-y, the fact that I don't review less than stellar experiences does not mean that when I do review, it is bullshit.   As for the chickenshit part, GaG is right, I acknowledged it long before you posted your comment and I am not the least bit embarrassed about it.  

Since you place so much stock in reviews, let me share that one of the best experiences I have had since finding TER was with a lady with two or three crappy reviews, they were awful.    Absolute knock-out, absolutely delightful, at the end of the session I  mentioned the bad reviews and she gave me a bit of the background and it was hilarious, some guys think that they are entitled to do whatever the fuck they please, present themselves like slobs and then they have a temper tantrum when they do not have their way.

Just to be clear again, I don't think guys are gals are always right, there are some awful providers out there but if there is room to give someone the benefit of the doubt, I prefer that route.  Have a nice day.

 
Hay! I said that, above, albeit metaphorically because I used OP's own "buying stock" and "dividends" metaphor.     I have no claim to your second point but that it will become diluted and watered down at some point, too. I think someone said that restaurant reviews are more reliable than TER but even restaurant reviews tend to cluster in the 8/10 to 10/10 range with the occasional Poison Palace getting a 1/10 or 5/10.

How about a three point scale: bad OK good or -1 0 +1  

I have had mostly goods (+1s) in my experiences but then I wouldn't have to worry about insulting someone with a 9/10 instead of a 10/10

As much as we think we can make everybody laugh or piss their pants, I too am an entertainer, and my job is to accept or decline entertainment venues based on whether or not the audience will benefit from me.

I've stood up in front of thousands of people, no kidding, sang my ass off, and no one made a sound. I lost the competitions (well second or third place usually) because I was low on my "audience volume" score. Guess why? People listened. lol!

Then there were other times I stood in front of smaller groups of people with my guitar and my voice, and my songs. Some songs I could feel the audience's emotions. But I'd go on to the next one and feel the boredom of the audience. When you're prepared with who you are in front of a crowd, a song, and the audience doesn't like the song, you have two choices. 1. Pretend it was shorter and figure out a way to end it early, out of respect for the audience's time. or 2. Play through the song and let them be bored.

But in front of another audience, they were left crying with the songs that the others were bored with. The problem is, you don't always know the attitude until you get there.

Going into a coffee house, or a rock bar, and singing the National Anthem between a set of Megadeth and Led Zeppelin isn't going to fly, unless the situation is called for. Go to a baseball game, and you've got their attention.

Each song performed must be tailored to what the audience is looking for, or you don't have a chance.

Now leading worship? Completely different story. I've moved churches of 300+ people, and gone to another church where I didn't agree with the attitude of the audience and flopped. Because they couldn't be led into a higher, more loving state. They were all gossiping and bitter, yelling at each other and their children all week, not sucking their husband's dicks, and the husbands were cutting down their wives, treating them like useless slaves.

Then I have to stand in front and act all hopeful and full of the Spirit of God, and try to lead these people in loving worship. It can't be done, so I stopped leading there.

Then I have been in churches where the pastors sat me down and talked shit about the congregation one by one directly to me, and then I have to act all happy with them and then lead people in spirituality after I listened to the very people I was playing music with talk shit about who we all are leading together.

 
Now, take it a step further. I do competitions all the time. I guarantee you I am the best singer at every-single competition. But the preconceived notion of many of these small groups of singers and all of their cliques, it doesn't matter how good you are. If the audience doesn't like you, you won't win the competition. But if they do like you and you're a mediocre singer, you have a chance over Mariah Carey. Unless you have a judge that is a real musician who appreciates real music. Then you may have a little more weight in winning regardless of the popularity of the singer. Usually, not. But many clients I see know I can be a twat online. I can be mean in email correspondence. I bust BALLS if people fuck with me. But - they know what the "real deal" is, and they want the "real deal". So they don't give two shits what the rest of the audience thinks.  

On the note of not reviewing someone in that state. Some of these people are winning money, and the judge doesn't want to ruin their fun, because they're bringing people in to the bar to buy drinks. Mission accomplished. The bar doesn't give a rat's ass what the winning singer sounds like, as long as they're bringing in money. But the judge is NOT going to go up to that singer and say "I'm going to tell everyone I think you SUCK!" Why? Because their friends do support and love them, everyone is there to have fun, and the bar is making money. Nobody gets hurt, everybody goes home and forgets about it.

So I have to choose which competitions I sing if I want to win. If I don't give a shit, and a friend or family member begs me to sing in a competition, and I know for a fact I'm not going to win because it's a cliquey bar, doesn't matter. I"ll sing. But if I'm really trying to get somewhere and taking it seriously to move ahead via these venues I am singing at, and it gives me a certain type of exposure that will tarnish my reputation, I'm not even stepping foot into a bar I know is going to have an audience that not only doesn't like me because I'm pretty and can sing like a Diva, but also will work their ASSES off to find every thing I do wrong, I'm not going. Because they don't appreciate real music. At least not mine.

I - too - am an entertainer. I'm an adult entertainer, I have finally done some comedy, and I am a singer/guitarist. When someone tells me I suck, I don't even flinch. Because I don't suck. Haven't had that happen, they just say I think I'm hot shit and stuck up, unless they have constructive criticism, (I know when something is really constructive, vs a back-handed comment,)  

My issue is I can read when someone is judging me. I can't help it. I can feel the energy and the aura - that's part of being a performer and becoming one - intimate with the audience or the crowd. Sometimes you just can't, because they can't connect with you. And that's ok. But if someone is hating on me, even a client, I not only feel it, it seeps into my core, and paralyzes me from the ability to move about freely and be the seductress that I am with people who know how to enjoy me. It becomes methodical and staged.

I shouldn't have to PM you. I should be able to look at you review and get the truth there. The point is I don't want to have to PM a bunch of guys to find out if they told the truth or not in their review.

That's OK - I wouldn't be able to afford the gas for the private jet anyway. Poor me.

Agreed.

But you can implement (and I suspect you largely do) your plan of the textual only review by simply ignoring the numbers. The leaves TER structured to let each use their own while keeping a topic that always provides regular and spirited discussions

I know I largely ignore the numbers and they are never part of a search when I use them.

When TER came on the scene years ago, the main purpose was to assist
men in finding a good friend since scams were everywhere. And, they continue to be out there. Men were being ripped off and/or they were not getting the services promised. TER came along to remedy this problem by initiation a rating system in order to help men from being cheated. TER is the benefit men to know what type of things they were expecting and avoid scam artists. Reviews allow men to communicate with each by reading the text of the reviews while researching.  It also helps ladies to educate themselves
and improve their activities. It has worked well for us for years.  Some of us have had mostly wonderful
encounters.  Reviews are not intended to hurt a provider. By reading the reviews of the reviewers, leads to more certainty. Reviewing reviews of people with many reviews make the reviews more credible.
One review is never enough. TER has provided this writer with many wonderful experiences.
That is why if a provider provides poor experiences, they should be reviewed to help the men make informed decisions..
That's why TER is the bes

so if  you don't care enough to do the work, why the f should i care enough to do your work for you?

don't want to pm me, fine.  stop whining about what's on the surface, if  you don't feel like going deeper.
