This is a question I would like to post to the hobbyists, although providers are certainly welcome to respond to this posting. I hope I'm using the proper protocol.

Do men still visit ladies who have not been reviewed in a long time? I know that my clients/friends are the sort of people that will not post reviews. I guess it goes against the grain for them. I certainly do not have a problem with not having recent reviews. However, does this mean that other men ponder the question of my performance? My past reviews are good and I am always professional and pleasant when I'm with someone. I even give a great rubdown beforehand. In fact, I've been asked several times if I am a professional masseuse? I don't believe my business has been greatly affected by the lack of reviews lately, but I am a curious little beaver (pardon the pun).

Thanks guys.

Hugs,
Ciara

Up to date reviews are not that big of a deal to me. I only read reviews if I can't find out the information that I desire in your profile. ie. DFK, DATY, and smoking habits are very big on my list so if this info is not in your profile then I may go diggin into a review or two.  If your reviews are bouncing all over the place I may look deeper.  Usually it's your pic that gets me interested, then you must be a GFE, then price.  If any of those 3 are out of line I move on.  There are so many incredible ladies to choose from why waste my time looking through reviews.  my .02

In my experience,  people of today's generation and in great part thanks to the Internet ... have the attention span of gnats.

If a new review doesn't pop up every so often you CAN be forgotten about - noy by your hard core fans, but just by the great unwashed multitude.

Also .. there seems to be an ever increasing number of guys (the ones that *I* know) that seem to be on some sort of ... um ... quest .... for THE perfect girl with THE perfect attributes, etc. and are always looking for reminders.

Do what you have to do to get reviews!

When I look at reviews for a given city, I generally sort by performance and don't go back many months. So I imagine I would miss you using that method.

However, I have noticed you (very favorably, I might add) due to your presence on this board. I don't question your lack of recent reviews.

So for me, its not so much a question of whether I would "ponder the question of your performance." Its more of an issue of whether I would find you in the first place.

I hope that helps.

"attention span of a gnat"  and  "unwashed masses" (if not "multitudes")  is MY copyrighted board material!  

how dare you sir?  ...  pistols at dawn ok?

Thanks everyone for your quick responses. I'm generally not the type to suggest to my clients that they review me. I will make note of these excellent suggestions.

Kisses,

And to you I say .... um ... er .. ah .. what were we talking about?

The longer a period since your most recent review, the farther back you will be in a search. In addition, it would make me question whether you are working less or at all, or whether something has changed in the time since your last review.  

In your case, though, Ciara, because you have a good presece on this board, it would be less of an issue.  However, for a lady with a lower profile, it could affect her biz a bit.  I think oodles of reviews aren't necessary, but one every two-three months is a good interval to keep you "current".

My search criteria would likely miss you as well because I really only go back a year. It seems that there are a ton of reviews around (not just this board) for retired ladies or those who have moved etc...  And frankly a lot can happen in a year that might affect attitude, performance and looks so recent reviews are important to me. HOWEVER I have stepped outside that rule based on reccomendations of friends. And I was very happy with the results (Renee of Chicago is SMOKIN!!)  But without a direct referral from a girl who knows me and knows what I like I would never have found Renee, her reviews were too old.

Pretty simple for me, no! I look to see if there is consistancy in what was said. My needs are pretty simple so I dont care if I see all the languages or letters in the reviews. I much rather see things that matter to me, and usually what I like are written between the lines. Not in acronyms.

So if your reviews are consistant with who you are, Good and bad, then the intelligent ones will find you. IMHO

...I consider any review over 8 months old to be stale and unreliable.  People change.  But in your case there's an important difference.

The reviews you do have are very consistent, and I personaly feel that consistency is a very important quality to have.  

I do suggest you endeavor to get some new reviews on your site, and if they are of the same quality you already enjoy, then you'll be fine.

Usually the first thing to get my attention about a provider is a good review on TER. Then I go to the website. If she seems like an interesting person in an area where I hobby, is physically appealing to me, is in my price range (mid) and has gotten consistently good reviews, I'll call.

I think some guys (maybe with money to burn?) seem willing to "take one for the team," but lots more are like me, we want a sure thing. So we go for providers with a consistent track record. So first we need to find you, and for TER gents, that's usually through a TER review.

Try make sure that you get good reviews on a regular basis. You'll be fine. You certainly have the looks.

because sometimes the lady is no longer available.  I always cross check the web site, etc.

I agree with Fortitude in that people do change and a very old review (1 year perhaps) is rather outdated.

Consistency is the key though.  I have seen a lady who had not had a new review in about 10 months.  Didn't change a thing...she was still super.

If you perform just half as good as you look, you'd have nothing but very good reviews, my lady.

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful comments. I will try to get some reviews posted again. It is just hard for me to ask someone to review me. I am pretty humble in that aspect, but I will let them know that it is important to the business.

Hugs & kisses,
Ciara

My understanding from my atf is that after a review she would get box office business for a week or so.  For her it was important to get at least one review a month so insure her a good income.  The rest of the time she relied on regulars.
