Im using an alias obviously......

I have over 30 great reviews, one medicore and 2 bad ones, one of which is really bad (he trashes my looks big time and blamed me for his lack of arousal even though i tried my damndest). I am not a super model nor do i claim to be in my photos, they are real and current. And he also accused me of writing my own positive reviews (which is not true at all, most of my reviewers have reviewed other girls, but i wouldnt dare try that, ter checks IP addresses).  

Based on his other reviews he seems to like spinner type, i am curvy but my photos reflect this, and he never stated that i dont look like my photos, i just figured if i wasnt someones type that they would just not book?

 
Anyway how many bad reviews would a girl have to have for u to not book her? Or what would they have to say to turn u away?  

Any and all input is appreciated. Thanks

If it's a bad review I'm going to evaluate it to determine if it has any credence at all. The biggest thing by far is to look at the reviewers review history to see what their normal score is. If they have a good mix of reviews, they're reviewing often, and the text of their reviews sounds realistic and fair, then I'm probably going to trust the bad review. Same goes for if they're active on the boards and seem like they're authentic (as in, not going to write a fake bad review for the hellofit).  

 If the review is one of a few, or their only review, I might not trust it as much. Again, if the text of the review sounds realistic and fair, I'm apt to believe them, if it sounds made up, or like they're generally an asshole, I probably will disregard it.

 
 In your case, if you have plenty of decent/good reviews that are from reviewers that have written realistic sounding reviews about you, I probably wouldn't be too put off. Even if the bad reviews do pass the bullshit test and seem real, I might give it a shot if I'm into how you look at the price point you're offering. Even if you were having a bad day, not every day will be bad, and I tend to get along with most everyone I meet (IRL and hobby). So, if you had a client you didn't like and he picked up on it and he gave you a bad review, I would probably be willing to bet that I could avoid that problem.

 
In sort, the number doesn't matter, the authenticity of the review and the circumstance does. You could have a few and it could be a non-issue, or you could have one and have it be a huge problem.

 

 
 As for this specific situation, if you actually did see this guy and he was actually surprised that you looked the way you did, you might think of how you are advertising yourself and how that could be done in a way that better represents what you're offering if you want to avoid this in the future. Given that you're writing this under an alias, I can't tell if that is the case or not, but it's a point worth considering if but only for a healthy dose of introspection.

If reviews leading up to a time when I could book said provider, I pay attention to reviews leading up to that time.  They could show signs of being burnt out.  I tend to steer clear of new providers, as they haven't mastered the trade yet. It takes a special skill to be with a man twice their age, and convincingly seem to enjoy the encounter. But there are naturals... I have been blown away by a couple new providers.
I look for details within a review. Attitude, responsiveness to certain things. Just to get a sense of how we might possibly gel with each other. Also look at other reviews written by bad reviewers.  
Some guys will find fault in a good fuck.

. . . and your the type of girl I like, price point is good, services offered are what I am looking for than one bad review won't turn me off.

If you have a bunch of bad reviews in a row or every other review is a bad review than I probably will steer clear.
If you had 5 good reviews and one bad and then another 5 good reviews I'll probably chance it.

I'll also take into account whether or not the reviewer always leaves negative reviews/ low score reviews or if they only have a few reviews.

I watch for trends... if her most recent 2 or 3 reviews agree...  then I conclude that's what I need to expect if I book with her.  The odd poor review... and I read the text, don't go by scores...  I'll discount one or maybe 2 per page of reviews.   I watch for wide swings in reviews which leads me to conclude she's great if she clicks with you but if I'm not her type then it suffers.   I expect some variation in this most personal of interactioins... a range of +/- 1 say.    
In my experience reviews are supprizingly consistant.  
When I read the text...  I look for red flags against the reviewer who might say:  she wasn't my type, I booked her anyway, i didn't like her...  
With 30 reviews, 2 poor & 1 blech...  I'd need to read the reviews carefuly but not an automatic no from me.

My bad reviewer has reviewed alot of girls, some positive but many of them negative.  

Most of my positive reviewers have reviewed other girls, a few of them have only reviewed me (as they only see me and no on else) but most of my positive reviewers have reviewed my other girls.  

My so so reviewer reviewed 2 other girls and complained about their services also.

... first of all, what made it "bad"?  Sometimes the score is low, but the review is very positive otherwise (example: I recently read a review for a highly rated provider where the guy used lots of superlatives eg "best BJ ever" and gave her a 5).  Other times it seems to be a case of not doing research, eg review complains about tats or implants or CBJ vs BBBJ other thing that could have been easily found out from ads, web site, and/or reviews.

And as others have mentioned, I look at the history/credibility of the reviewer and also whether there's a pattern over a relatively short time span, i.e. a few subpar reviews spread over many reviews over a long time isn't a concern, but a few subpar reviews that mention similar negatives in the recent past is a big red flag.

to see how credible he is versus the other good reviewers.

 
Also, if I know the reviewer personally, that is something I take into account.

 
Then there are the positive reviews.   If they are all of a cookie-cutter type, that makes me suspicious.

 
To sum up:  It's detective work, and like any good detective work, you have to get into the nitty-gritty and spend a lot of time and really give things some thought in order to make the right choice.

 
On the other hand, if she has big boobs I'll see her no matter what.

I got big boobs! And actually it looks like uve seen girls all over but some of the girls uve seen are in my area.

The poor girl is drooling all over her DD's for an opportunity to see a famous hobbyist like you.  Be gentle in your negotiations for a discount.

If you ever check Amazon products, no matter what, there are always some bad reviews.  I always throw out top and bottom outlier scores/reviews.  It's just the law of averages.  If most people gave adequate scores and reviews, that's most likely what will happen for me if I book -- play the percentages.

Review manipulation and purchased reviews can go on for a long time without a monger stepping forward and calling Bullshit. It all depends on the veracity of the bad review vs any and all good ones.  It also depends on what the reviewer called out as particularly negative.

 
you say you look like your pictures. Does that mean you have unblurred selfies that show off those curves? Does your TER profile list you as curvy?

 
On a happy note, I do tend to agree with the majority here, that, taken in context, one or two bad reviews shouldn't be a career killer. Cultivate regulars and you'll be fine.

Most of the other comments here emphasized assessing the credibility of an individual reviewer who writes a negative or mediocre review - which I do too. More persuasive to me, however, is whether or not any other reviewers of the same individual provider corroborate those negative or mediocre reviews or comments.  

If only one guy makes a negative or otherwise unfavorable assertion and none of the other reviewers do, it might not be credible - or he could be the voice in the wilderness that finally has the balls to call bullshit on a provider with fake reviews, in which case one should assess his credibility individually.  For example, one provider that I considered had only one negative review, in which a guy said that she was fat or overweight, which flew in the face of all the other reviews that described her as thin. I looked into that reviewer further and determined that he was not credible.

If two or more guys corroborate or substantiate the negative or mediocre reviews or comments, and that negative or mediocre content is a problem for me, then I would lose interest in the provider. Keep in mind that some other reviewers might mention similar details and just not describe those details in equally negative terms, or not in a negative way at all (different strokes for different folks).  

So you should focus less on the number of your negative and mediocre reviews and more on whether or not they corroborate or substantiate each other, or if other reviews (even mostly positive ones) lend any credence to what those unfavorable reviews said. If there are any recurring themes in them, then perhaps those issues are worth addressing.

I think its not so much the number of bad reviews as the ratio of good to bad reviews. If a girl only had two reviews and both of them were bad, then I wouldn't see them. If a girl had 100 reviews and 5 of them were bad, I would dismiss it. Businesses on Google and Yelp get bad reviews too even though you have lots of other people giving them good reviews. So its really more important that that be the case. I'd say I might proceed with caution if 20% of the reviews were bad. I wouldn't not go, but I might wonder what's going on. If 30% or more are bad, I wouldn't go. 2 out of 30 isn't even 10% though so I think you're fine.

Some things I consider:
1) Is the poor review the odd one among multiple good ones, or a trend?
2) What is the credibility of the reviewer who submitted the poor review?
3) What is revealed in the text of the review?  For instance, saying "best BBBJ ever", then rating low makes little sense.
    Is there mention of lack of chemistry, of provider merely going through the motions, of distaste for the session  
    environment, any of which can be indicative of the reviewer having not done their due diligence before booking.  

Frankly, the all 10's for performance profile gives me more cause for concern than the profile with mostly 8's and 9's for performance with a few outliers.  And I rarely give credence to any looks rating, as beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.  If you haven't passed the "am I attracted test" already, then all of the above is mute anyway.

One or two bad reviews isn’t a deal breaker. Four or five sends up a yellow flag, if not a red one.  Of course the more reviews a provider has, the more likely that a few extra low reviews won’t really make a difference.

One caveat, if the “good” or “great” reviews have a high number of YMMV comments, and there’s also bad reviews, I’m probably not going to try to book.

Second caveat, the higher priced/more exclusive the provider, the more likely the bad reviews will carry more weight.

It only took 2 stupid bad reviews to screw me and they both were story telling liars!
Just saying.....
People believe what they want but there are always a few bad apples that have it in for a provider for one reason or another & post a bad review om her so if interested it is best to just see for yourself.

Brandi,  
Just wondering are you noticing a lack of emails and p411 request lately.  If so how sharp is the decrease?

I ignore bad reviews:

If her reviews early on were predominantly bad, but improved over time and remained steadily high.  I’ve seen young women with limited menus get bad scores to start, but then offered a more extensive menu later and got better scores since the change.  

If her reviews are consistently good, but a few bad ones are peppered in the mix. I look at the guys review history and the tone of his review. If her ad shows her at 5’4 and 145 pounds and the guy is pissed that she wasn’t a spinner, I ignore it. Or if his review was one bad review out of many good reviews, I consider that a ymmv situation.  

When I believe bad reviews:  

I like a balance and won’t swing far either way, so a consistent negative score on looks, or performance would affect my decision personally. If the majority of guys didn’t think she was “really hot” (8) or model material (9) I don’t contact them. If the performance score is consistently 7 (hot time) I assume she is CBJ or has a limited menu. A quick look usually confirms my suspicion on the hot time scores. CBJ, or a LMT offering a few extras.  

If a woman had consistently great scores and then started getting consistently low scores, I would avoid her. I figure something isn’t right in her life and it’s affecting her, or maybe she let herself go

Regardless of 30 or 300, three is the magic number. That will get my attention. Three in a row will definitely cause me not to book until the trendline changes. Three dispered in 300 reviews, I might take another look, but it wouldn't prevent me from booking. Three bad reviews, and I mean 6 in looks or lower or 6  in performance or lower will get me thinking. If they are in the past year, I will pass. I will check the review history of the poster, though. If I see a 6/5 and if the highest score the reviewer has is 7/7 or 8/8, I'll toss that review in the trash bin.

With me, it's not just the number of poor reviews. I look at several things: Yes, how many poor reviews vs. the total number, but I also look at the trends. For example, have the ratings been steadily dropping over time, and especially recently? Do those who've posted negative reviews have multiple reviews of other providers, and if so, what were those like (someone who rates everyone poorly may not be credible)? Are the negative reviews scattered throughout many positive reviews over a long period of time? Everyone has an off day; there's no reason to expect a provider to be immune to it.

Two of the providers I have enjoyed most each received a killer bad review. One was afterI had seen her and it was a personal destruction.  She may have had  and bad day even a terrible day but she is a very attractive, bright and exciting lady and that review made her sound like the worst thing ever.  Eventually he wrote an addendum.  The second was a lady i saw after a review that suggested she was literally disgusting to look at and he couldn't even stay in the room with her. She is adorable and one of the sexiest women ever.  All this to say one or two bad reviews particularly killer reviews of women who've generally gotten good reviews I would ignore.  
The thing that would really turn me off would be a bait and switch or someone who was a thief or dishonest with few to no-good reviews.  

I agree with most of the analysis by the hobbyists above, and I’ve used most of those processes when selecting a provider. In most cases I’m not put off by a bad review or two if there are alot of good reviews. In most cases for me the deciding factor is whether there are other providers available in the same price range who are (1) attractive to me, and (2) have more good reviews and less poor reviews. If so, I’m less likely to take a risk of seeing a provider with poor reviews.
