TER General Board

Customer, Do Not Commit Error #1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps the biggest fault I find with reviews on this, and other boards as well, is that clients tend to get so carried away with looks that it clouds their judgement as to performance.  At least on TER there are guidelines that, if followed, preclude this.  Be that as it may, there are many a review that in essence state something like:

"She was an awesome GFE, but she needs to lose 20 pounds, so I only give her a 6 for performance"  (Not a literal quote, but a fair representation of what I've read in some reviews).

Bubba is correct, and that's why I posted under his reply. Honestly describe her great performance and honestly describe her looks (relative to her pix), and post a good review.  I for one would look forward to reading it, as looks take a back seat to performance for me.  And thank you for an intelligent post and approach to this topic.

I saw a girl last week and I was going to post a review of her (it would be my first on this board). but i have a dilema. The girl was a GFE, tried extremely hard to please, had a great body, but her face was wreaked. I am serious, her face looked kinda like her picture except she had bad really bad facial skin. (I think she has been a heavy smoker for a long time - she has a deep smokers voice). My dilema is, I want to give her a good review for "doing it all" and trying hard and for being a really nice person, but I don't want to mislead anyone about her looks. I also might consider seeing her again, because she was so good and I don't want her to be upset with me for giving her a mediocre review based on her looks. Plus she seemed to be a really nice person. Do any of you have any suggestions on how to best handle the situation or maybee I should just not post a review?

Best to be honest.  You get to rate service and looks independently.  I tend to give her the benefit of the doubt when she rocks my world.  There are 5's that give 10 service and vice versa.

I agree with bubba.  Just calls 'em as you sees 'em.  There's nothing wrong with saying she wasn't all that good looking but she made up for it by rocking your world.  A lot of guys would rather have a world rocker as opposed to a model material dud.

I think that some people think of the performance score as sort of an "overall impression" rating, rather than a rating of a lady's talents and skills.  

Then again, I have benefitted at times from people being so happy with their experience with me that they were generous when rating my appearance.  I would like to think that they were blinded by my inner beauty, but can't be sure.  :-D

And they are amongst the best around.  Insofar as your non-Barbie Doll appearance, so what?  You're still beautiful, and when I get to the "other" coast, I would look forward to meeting you.  I think that the adjective "Luscious" is wholly appropriate here.

L.L.may be refering to the fact that she is not a sylphlike lady, and quote from a review of hers, about a year ago, seems to be in order. "Laurel is a large and tall lady, and if you are hung up on this more than 15 minutes (I'd make that 3 minutes) after arriving you do have some serious mental problem ...."

I recommend that you forget the review.  Though if you feel you must post a review just don't go into any great detail regarding her face.  This lady did everything you wanted.  What are you looking for a beauty queen?  You should probably look else ware.

I too look at performance high above looks when choosing a companion. I'm in this endeavor for pleasure and I don't happen to derive much visual stimulation in dimly lit rooms. I've had great times with gals whom I'd rate a 6 or 7 on looks but 9 or 10 on performance. If this gal really lit your fire, I suggest you tell others about it. Every reviewer wrote a first and as she gets more, a pattern of performance will emerge. As you suspect, that may be good and good for her business. By all means don't gloss over her looks.

There are ways of getting your point across without being too hurtful.  Several reviewers have mentioned that I might not be a model, but the way I treated them made up for it.  Those reviews help guide gentlemen to me who value performance over appearance, and they are the ones who are likely to have the best times with me.

I guess I'm in that same catagory, Laurel, and my reviews haven't hurt my business...infact while other local providers were leaving the area to stay busy during the holidays, I stayed steadily growing, as I have from my first post. Don't worry about being honest, that's what a good provider expects of you. What we hate are the sarcastic, mean-spirited comments that you-all sometimes make, just for a feeble attempt at humor, at our expense. Save it for locker-room gossip...it has no place here. Just a second thought on this subject,(I'm not commenting on this Provider per se), if a Provider has very bad skin and as some reviews have stated is a "Chatty Cathy", etc. There may be some drug use involved...open sores anywhere on the body are a red flag..!!! Just a comment...Please don't flame me.... P.S. Hey Laurel, you stole my kiss....LOL

Write the review!!  So she wasn't going to get her face on the cover of a magazine--that didn't stop you from having a great time did it?  There are many of us to whom looks (within reason) are secondary.  Hell, on of my least satisfying recent experiences was with a gal who IMO had no physical flaws whatsoever..a definite 9-plus on my scale, & had an OK personality as well.  But a different story when it came to the performance side of the equasion...it'd be slightly generous to have rated her a 6.  Even though I can't say it was a waste of money, I'll not be seeing her again even though she was a total knockout.

So write the review & say basically what you've said in this post...be honest without being cruel when talking about her shortcomings in looks.

It's the best way.  You were pretty good at describing the session in this message.  Just make sure you do the same thing in the review!

is to let the rest of us know the details about what a provider provides - isn't it? when a hobbyist contacts a provider, he is not allowed to ask specific questions. reading reviews posted by other hobbyists lets him know exactly what a particular girl will or will not do and hopefully gives him an idea if she is the kind of girl he wants to meet. any review that is anything less than 100% honest and accurate is worthless, as far as i'm concerned.

i agree with other responders here, though; some hobbyists are hung up on looks and will downgrade a girl even though she was fuun and eager to please. keep the looks ratings separate from the attitude ratings, guys.

Appearance and Performance

Sounds like she met or exceeded expectations with respect to performance yet perhaps misrepresented her current appearance. Be has cautious and honest in your review as you were above and I think you are going to be okay.

I agree with everybody else, post the review. Most guys - including me - are more interested in perf than in looks, I have seen several ladies with a 9 in looks but with terrible service, the opposite is true.

But I understand from your post that your principal problem is that you do not want to hurt her feelings. Well first of all the face is only one part of the body, so if she has a nice body - except for the face - I would take it into account in the looks rating. And avoid giving too many details in the review on her looks to avoid hurting her feelings, the readers will see the rating and understand without the description. I think the actual description would hurt more than the rating.

And write a long review detailing her good points: ie GFE etc., that should make up for the other part.

good luck

Be honest ..post a review... I think you've done an excellent job so far... hobby safe, hobby well, hobby all you can be....

You might not want to say "her face was wreaked". However, you could say she had bad facial skin that was not evident in photographs and also that she had a deep smoker-type voice. Those things are unbiased observations. Then go on to talk about her good points and her great performance.

I rate her looks a 5 (or whatever) because, while she had a good body, I didn't find her particularly attractive. Everyone will get the idea. To say "her face was wreaked" is simply mean. It amazes me how little tact some of you guys have (see, that's a nice way of saying "no class").
