Its an interesting idea, but I get reminded of my shortcomings daily by the wife.  I don't need it here.  I have had providers call others on my reviewed list as a confirmation and I don't mind that at all.  If you decide to give a provider your TER handle she should be able to get a general idea of who you are and what you like based on your reviews.  If a guy has given generally bad reviews for providers and others have given good, there is probably a problem with him.  He should probably consider showering, shaving, or smiling to improve relations.

The reality is that the reviewer is the customer.  He has the right to check up on the vendor he is dealing with and see if there may be a connection (TER = Consumer Reports for the Hobbyist).  The vendor is not helpless, and like any business owner a provider can refuse service to anyone for any reason.  

Like you, I'm sure I'm going to catch hell for this.

Hey, it works for me. As long as guys are going to continue to use that BS GFE scale, then I think the ladies ought to come up with a BFE scale and judge us. Fair is fair. C'mon ladies,
go for it.....

Some of these guys deserve to see what low lives they can be

And BTW, before you go berating the review process too much, remember, a lady who looks at this as a business (and that's what they so often remind each other, and us of, that "IT'S A BUSINESS"). where else can you get this kind of instant feedback on how you did at pleasing you client?

In a review, a client will tell a lady EXACTLY what he liked and did not like, What she can do differently OR what she ought to keep doing "till the cows come home"....

Now that I think of it, I'm going to start asking for an informal review. see what happens....

Not only could you warn other providers from the jerks, but you can also tell them about the terrific encounters also!!

Why not, I pay on this board, I should have my say too!!!

Yeah, maybe it would be interesting and informative.  Yeah, I guess fair is fair.  But you gotta remember, we don't depend on providers for our income.  Providers do depend on us for theirs.  

Unless we're real creeps to be avoided, we're not going to scare any providers off, even if we're no good in bed.  Our money's still good, and this is a JOB to them.  Don't think for a minute they'd do y'all for free.

On the other hand, a client who received an unflattering review will probably not be back.  We men have such easily-bruised egos, dont we?  A provider who seems to need a "real man" and who gives low marks to the less-studly may find themselves with fewer clients.  This is basic business sense, not political-correctness.

I could see providers reviewing us (the hobbyists) based on whether we are "worth the trouble". Beyond that, it doesn't make sense to me, as we, the hobbyists, are the consumers.

-Hoot.

How could a lady review a hobbyist unless she used the name, phone number, address, physical description or TER handle to identify him?  There are obviously problems with using names, phone numbers or addresses as identifier.  There are also problems with using physical descriptions as they are usually imprecise and could easily lead to mistaken identity.

As for using TER handle as an identifier, not every client is a TER member.  Not every TER member hobbyist reveals his handle to a lady.  He can easily abandon the old one and create a new one after a while.  Staff will be hard press to double check that.

Great discretion is demanded of a high price escort.

Personaly.........I would go for it.

Myself  I derive a great deal of my satisfaction in attempting to please the lady. I don't mind learning to be a better lover, Hell it just has to make it better the next time.

I say."Let it rip ladies, I'm man enough to take it."

Jacksonlips,
Great idea! I've wanted that for so long! I think it's important for us to be able to make comments. Funny how the guys immediately think 'performance'! Most of my comments that come to mind right now are not even about performance, but about something they said or did.
I don't think the guys name, ID, TER handle, etc. should be posted at all. Nor should the girls..I think in order for it to (still) be effective, but to not harm anyone, why couldn't it just list the city and date? I think if the Gents looked at the Reviews and read them, he might recognize himself.
What do you all think about that?
Cuz I have something on my mind RIGHT NOW that's just screamin' to be written..

Thanks, Jackson..you're a love.

The concept is interesting. Problem is, it's going to be difficult to implement. The only way I see that being possible is if the guy gives his TER handle. It seems to me that only  the "good" hobbyists would do that, whereas the jerks most likely would not. So it would defeat part of the initial intention.

Sedona proposes to post only city and date, not even the providers name. It seems difficult to recognize oneself with certainty. What if I take for myself the comments addressed to somebody else? I don't know.

I'm not completely sure of exactly what you're proposing here, so I don't know if I feel like tossing a little hell your way or not. LOL But here's my take on this.

1. If the 'rating' amounts to the hobbyist's handle & only describes his attitude, demeanor, hygiene, & honesty then I think it's MAYBE (only mabye)an OK idea.  That's the same sort of info generally passed when a provider provides a reference.  In that resepct it would help cut to the chase a bit.  But just as there are some guys post bogus information because they have a burr under their saddle about some gal, are we to assume that ALL providers are above something similar? Now I'm not taking a slap at the gals in general, for I'm sure that none of those that I've seen with some regularity would ever stoop so low..but there was one I knew in the past who would definitely be capable of it.  And what of the ones I saw once & didn't care to repeat with & therefore don't really know?  If the provider would also post anonymously how much value would even be placed upon it?  While there's some potential for a positive, I think the potential problems that could arise are likely of greater weight.  I doubt the system is that out of whack, so why try to fix it?

2. If both hobbyist & provider are anonymous I don't see what's to be gained by anyone.

3. Assuming you're speaking of 'rating' us in a simliar manner as we rate the gals, then I do want to offer a dissenting opinion.  I hold these ladies in high regard & I'm not without empathy for the crap they have to endure in some reviews.  Except for the ones who actually write that exaggerated smut, I think most everyone agrees.  However, the bottom line is that the reviews also are an excellent form of advertising for the gals & undoubtedly has helped the cash flow of many of them tremendously; so the bad has to be taken with the good.  But until such ratings might hold a potential benefit for me financially, I see no reason in the world for that kind of stuff to be revealed about me.  One of the things I'm paying for is discretion, which would all be thrown out the window under that proposal.  If I'm a bad client, the gals should be warned about me.  But where I might rank on a list such as you were shown is completely irrelevant to me...if want to see her again & I'm OK & she enjoyed the time then she'll see me--if I'm not she & she didn't then she won't--simple as that.  

And frankly I wonder how many of the gals might even participate in that type of rating of their clients..maybe more than I might guess. I don't know.  But would some worry about cutting their own throat, so to speak, if they wrote something with a rather low rating about an honest & decent client?  Would some potential new clients might shy away from seeing her?    

I think I'd det tired of reading that I need to spend more time in a gym...

So you say you want to be reviewed, just like us?  What would be the point of a review where both the SP and the client are anonymous?  Ego gratification for the client who recognizes himself?

Seriously, I really, really don't think you guys would want this.  Right now, you're imagining some kind of favourable review.  I'd urge you to go find the most awful, disrespectful review that you can find on this site, and then ask yourself if you could really handle, or want, that kind of scrutiny. It could happen to you too!

And, if I can figure out who's written a review of me even when they're "anonymous", don't you think you'd be able to figure out who's written one of you?  Do you think an SP is really going to write a scathing review of somebody, no matter how deserved?  It doesn't make good business sense!
