I can understand a woman's frustration over a fake review, but what turns me off completely, enough to note to myself to never ever even consider such a lady are the ones that whine about a low score, especially if the low score is something like an eight.

As the one doing the paying, I want the experience to be "all about me" not all about her and her business. The other thing that gets me is when a hooker goes on a rant, and then gets all defensive and enlists her WK's when her rant is not so well received. Those ladies also go on my "must miss list"

The review system is far from perfect, but most of us guys that have been here for a while know how to stop it when a lady has been gaming the system, and we can also tell when some "Hobbyist" is simply trying to get back at her for some reason. Good, consistent scores will win out every time. The occasional outlier doesn't really matter much.

She does a disservice to herself to advertise the fact; and no reasonable client is going to hold one bad review against her if she has plenty of other reviews.

She should take it up (gingerly) with TER Adminstration if she cares to.

They are the only ones who can do anything about it.

When you guys see us constantly bitching and moaning about a bad review in public, what do you think? I've never done this actually, but I have bitched about FAKE reviews that were usually highly scored (9s) and they were pulled.  

Its not the score I gave but the actual verbiage was what pissed them off..

I can spot a fake or revenge review a mile away, and if I can do that as a provider, it is only logical to assume that guys who've been around for years can also draw that same conlusion.

The numbers do draw me in to read the actual review...  but after that I disregard the arbitrary number score.  Sometimes I shake my head either good or bad after reading what was written as compared to the score.

is provider egos, and the attitude that a 7 or 8 is a "bad" review? We all know score inflation is rampant, and when an honest and fair score is posted.. it's the last thing I want to hear whining about.  

she is certainly guilty of the behavior we are talking about. Hopefully she has learned from that mistake, because I know that she did not get the response she was hoping for.

but if she didn't, then I guess you can't fix stupid......

Not too long ago one woman fucking wept over a low review. Her MO was not so much that it was unfair (although she thought it was) but that it hurt her, wounded her and that we doing the reviewing need to understand that there is a real, live, emotional human being out there who now has to live with it. Blah. Blah. Blah. She got all kinds of support and managed to have it removed. Now it is back word for word along with another poor one. Better off not making a stink.

Guy gave a gal a 7/8, she made a stink, he changed it to a 5/6 lol.

It sounds exactly like what I posted when my first negative review went up.

Wait, you think that you (a person who has been here less than a year) is the first to ever do this? LOL...no, far from it.  I am speaking in general, and these threads are in abundance on EVERY board around, not just TER.  

I never thought much about fake reviews, they are wrong to post.  

I recall her posting about a bad review in passing, but not starting an entire thread about it.

Currently, I am in state of mind where I am just loving writing the reviews as much as fucking her silly...

And I completely agree, posting publicly about scores is childish and tacky. I never again started another thread about that, I prefer other topics.

in different ways.  I look at both the best scored and worst scored reviews on performance.  The best scored reviews usually will give me all that a provider will do from a list of a sexual menu during a set time frame.  The worst scored reviews will tell me what the least amount of action I may expect to receive from the provider.  The ones I will definitely avoid, after being at the receiving end myself, are the providers that have stiffed a client or basically not performed as advertised.  
     As to writing reviews, I have my view as to how the scoring system works.  I have given a fair amount of tens in my limited experience.  This is how a provider would get a score like that from me.  If I have a fantasy about doing certain positions or playing out a certain part, and the provider performs them so well that she left me with a lasting impression of our time, she gets a ten for performance.  It becomes once in a lifetime in the sense that I will never again have that sense of excitement for trying that scenario, because the provider has fulfilled it.  Therefore, it is a "once in a lifetime" experience in level of anticipation and trailblazing the route the provider and I took to fulfill my fantasy.  
     If I am to understand TER scoring system, a provider can get a ten just for doing/offering certain sexual acts during a session.  Therefore, she could get a ten every time out just for checking off the list.  I will say that if a provider does these with super enthusiasm, then I may give her a ten as well.  Here is why.  When I see a provider for the first time,  the excitement level for the whole experience of being with her is through the roof.  If she performs beyond expectations, she should get a ten.  Every time I see her after that, the anticipation and newness has slowly been diminished until it equalizes to a comfort level.  A new toy, so to speak, is always the most exciting when I am playing with it for the first time.
     I will also say that 7, 8, and 9 are not bad scores for performance.  I do not determine whether I see a provider on those scores, but will read the entire review to gauge what to expect.  Scores and reviews set the bar on the expectations of the experience a provider will give.  I also will check out her website to see if the reviews jive with what she says about herself.  
     If I only go by the scores, then I am setting myself up for disappointment, because I did not take the time to see what was involved to make the scores.
     Just my opinion on what the scoring system means.  I welcome any critique on them.  I am new and not above learning IF you can show me where I am wrong.  Thank you in advance.

Along with writing them , who needs it ? It becomes a drag when it becomes a task .
 

Honestly, you could be right, it simply wasn't/isn't important enough to me to be sure. Plus I have a flight to catch

She has waaaay too much vodka running through her veins.  Like I am anyone to talk. lmao

It wasn't at all a mistake. I posted, got support, moved on.

Somewhere in the top 10 rules is one that says reviewers will review the ladies.  Some of us will be more inartful than others in our description, just as some will choose to be more graphic in detail.  But as long as a hobbyist is not lying or being purposely hurtful then  . . . it is what it is.  If you can't stand the risk of a poor review then don't pull your chair up to the big kids' table.  I've been pestered by at least two providers who thought my score was "unfair" and one even tried to claim the session didn't take place.  Well guess what--a 100 meter dash can be "fair", an election can be "fair", and the weather can be fair.  Opinions on the other hand are what they are--an expression of attitude, judgment and perspective.  Fair don't come into it anymore than fair comes into your judgment as to which was your favorite vacation.  

es, it was Cosette and as you all can see she immediately recognized herself.

Link....

like this one. We also feel bad when we run over a bunny.  We feel good when we get our 1st AK 47 .. We feel proud when we take our bears for a walk to the local city square.

Anyone notice the suck ass tone from guybeingaguy? This is the same person who called us d*ck sucking whores and cum dumpsters only a week ago, saying he would never go down on a filthy whore lol. Geez..up the meds please or make up your mind what persona you are going to use with each handle you have. Talk about busted.

and just for you I am having my first vodka of the day, It is not my first drink, but it is my first vodka, but most likely not my last

I don't want whining about bad reviews.  I will, however read a rebuttal to one.  I will then take a look at other reviews of the lady as well as other reviews written by the reviewer.  Taking in other factors, such as the provider's reputation, the reviewer's history and what he writes and what the provider writes in the rebuttal, I will make a decision on the merits of the review.

I was in kind of in a hurry to get to the airport and might have been guilty of "ready, fire, aim" lol

I will agree that "guybeingaguy" is more "trollbeingatroll" and I think he should just take the whole damn bottle and call us if he ever wakes up.

We have all seen providers here and on other boards complain about the scores.
I remember a certain provider who posted about a review being a 7/8 or something like that here on the general board.I seem to recall her going on and on about she deserved a 10 and why she did not get a 10.
For the most part people told her to get over it but there was still some guys that agreed with her and thought she was right.She went on her local board with the same topic and then came here.

Honestly, you're far too mature to worry about such things...will only hurt your rep. Mine is blown already so what do I care bwahahaha. Welcome aboard!

As for the marketing stuff, I admit I went to a top business program and I studied marketing, so I guess in the back of my mind that very well might come into play.

Guybeingaguy was so sweet in his response, and then has said pretty awful things about women!!!

with about 100 different vodkas on the menu

While I didn't read anywhere near all of her reviews, even the worst ones numerically didn't sound at all bad or critical.

I think what has happened is that because of grade inflation, anything below a 9/9 is considered bad. I don't review, but I know that on my own personal scale a typical TER nine is at most a 7 to me. this is on an appearance level only of course, I can't judge what happens BCD with other people, nor do I want to. but the appearance ratings just prove to me that most guys have no standards, I don't know what they will do if they ever meet a real ten, as the score has ceased to have any meaning to me where it comes to TER

I looked at your review history: one 7/7, one 8/8 and the rest all 9s and 10s. I then read those two reviews and found they said all kinds of good things about you so I am perplexed as to which revenge review you were referring to (assuming you even consider 7/7 a revenge review). Some guys are tough graders, and just because they gave you a score lower than your average, it doesn't mean it is a revenge review.  I have never met you so I consider myself objective in this matter. Just my two cents.

No one wants to hear broads whine.  Only thing worse is all the guys that whine around here.  Have fun, smile, love life, and if anybody doesn't like it, eg bad review, TUFF!

Your reviews are written in a somewhat cold and academic style.  Perhaps that's what they don't like.

This is about the easiest business to market yourself in, because it's all based on fantasy and lies in the first place. Anyone who can't even master such a simple task, is seriously ignorant. Good photos, good website, the right rate and advertising venue...you've just seen a new star born, and it has nothing to do with how she looks or how much she likes sex. It's so easy, it is almost comical, but far too many contradict their own marketing claims and fk it all up

Never said I was a fiction writer.. And you have no clue how much people who drool over hookers are made fun of...

I just said, I don't write jerk off materials for others...LMAO....

You know...a place that has reviews that a monger could really count on.

No but at the same time we are human beings.  Reviews of providers that are interchangeable with reviews of restaurants or reviews of a product do come off as really cold.  You don't have to be a "hooker lover" to write about a provider as a human being rather than a commodity.

Some reviewers simply write a few acronyms and little else.  Others write as if they are getting paid by the word.  While others still need to explain how great they are.

Mother Theresa...

Hi There

The only reason why I read reviews is to get a general idea. Then the real homework of swapping notes with other Johns starts. I have a shortlist of DC Johns whom I share similar taste with. Their opinion, exchanged through back channel, means more to me than any single review...

Stranger things have happened than some moron getting his wittle feewings hurt after a provider stops seeing him, tells him why, and waits to write a review after that fact. Not saying that is the case here, but JUST sayin lol. I've had my own share of nut jobs who are only nice when you're kissing their ass, then as soon as you break things off...BAM,  she's a horrible person and I will show her

than a surreptitious beleaguering and castigation of clients along with clandestine petitioning for the reviews removal from her history.

Even professional judges have a bad day, or a hidden agenda. Several good reviews make a bad one almost irrelevant. When I see several very good reviews, serving as the basis of a solid record, I pretty much know it will be a very good experience provided I do my part and present a clean, considerate gentleman. Anyone that is smart and perceptive knows that a bad review popping up is an anomaly – a freak event. Something didn’t work out in that session. These ladies have to take on just about all comers that are not dangerous.  Maybe some guys have unrealistic expectations, want to make her pay if they feel slighted. Some people  are just looking for a reason to be pissed off. Furthermore, a guy that is hard to get along with, maybe pushy, ugly, selfish -- or whatever, will probably not bring out the best in a lady. Even if the lady just had a bad day – don’t we all? – it does not mean she has given up on good service. As long as it is not a consistent trend, we’re OK. Trends are what count more than a single session. London has a long history of stellar reviews, and can ignore an occasional low number. We should too.

You're right in that I suspect it's the rare hobbyist indeed who went to the trouble of setting up a date,  meeting the lady,  doing the do and laying down the Benjamins JUST to write a review.  But of course no one here said or claimed that.  To the contrary if you read the TER rules the whole point of this site is to share information about the hobbying experience,  starting first and foremost with reviews.  Frankly all the chatting is nice but it's meaningless without the reviews.  It's simple--I see a lady I want to meet,  my fellow players share with me their experiences with that lady,  and I make my judgment based on all the information I care to collect; in return I share like information.   Otherwise this is just an X rated Facebook page.

I will have to come kick your ass. Speaking of which, were you not supposed to come hang with me soon? Miss snow bird....

Damn, I love a man who can write! I don't care if you give me a 6, but just write one for me lol.

Ha ha ha, actually I would prefer you did NOT ignore the lower ones, as they prove I am far from an actress. There is no way in HELL I can act through some of the asinine requests men present, nor will I do certain services for ANY amount of money just to get a higher review score. Sorry, not that insecure, and I am not making a career out of the sex industry either. Not that there is anything wrong with those who choose to do just that, but it's not for me. I have a child to think about. Being the top Hooker does not rank up there with the top 5 goals in my life, though I do TRY my best to present a luxury experience that involves more than me simply sucking and bending over as guy puts d(ck in said hole...a monkey can do that.  

meanings. A 7 is a good score if you look at the verbiage. Being with an "Attractive" (for appearance) woman and having a "hot time" (for performance) is what we should all be striving for. Obviously, better is good too.

Dear DDD: *raising my hand*  If we ever get Gambler to come to NYC, if you'll take us for Vodka I'll take us to an amazing place that features the finest sour mashes and Bourbons.  Good food, too. I sent a monger (and former mod here) to it and he was well satisfied.  Perhaps a friend of yours would like to join us.  The one I'm thinking of gets very naughty when she drinks, although actually, she's pretty damn naughty when she's sober.

"participation" rather than excelling in something. The providers in their 20's are a product of this so they just carry the same attitude here.  

In that it is not like they do not care about their reviews, of course they did as we all want to be appreciated and recognized for being good at what we do. It is just that with them they would much rather be comfortable with who they are and what they are doing and if that does not work for you then that is your fault not theirs.

They look more real.

Good to put in hearty stew.  Or casserole.  Use fat to oil AK-47.  Then does not jam in Siberian winter.

Then I fell down and pissed myself.  After that, sex was out of the question.

Well this is something that has just happened with me.  I got a crappy review.  No big.  I have a handul of those.  Sometimes we just dont click.  But this was a pretty bad one.  And the things he said he could have seen me or read other reviews.  
So I pm'ed him.  He didnt answer. I tried again. He didnt answer. So i contacted admin and said "I would just like to know who this person was" could you give me his info. I screened him but their handle on here doesnt always come up.  
So then I see him posting stuff that was bs.  He says he is rarely hurtful in reviews and blah blah blah.  And I still am not picturing him.  And I am low volume. And in his review he said when I showed up. Then later he said he just wanted to leave.  And then he washed up and left so it isnt clear if he came to me or me to him.  So if he came to me, and it was in the past few months it could be only 2 people.  The one guy didnt like me. Or I just wasnt clicking with him. And he said i didnt misrepresent myself.  ANd I said why dont i give you a massage.  SO anyways, I really didnt think he would right a mean review because he was ready to leave and leave me the money (which I wouldnt have felt right but I had gotten a room, etc) and the other guy stayed quite awhile chit chatting with me.  ANyways to make a long story not any longer....
I said something on a thread he had posted on.  Because he wouldnt answer the  pm and I really want to know who it was.  If only to make amends for his horrible time or to at least make me know if my perceptions are completely bonkers.  
So i am not a whiner and I dont care if the review stays. I have other bad ones.  It shows I am a real person who isnt going to click with everyone....but when I dont even realize that it is that bad for them....I need to know who it was so I can evaluate it.  
Isnt that what reviews are for ?  Not only to let you guys know but also to give providers feedback on what to keep doing and what to change.
So admin said he doesnt want me to know his info and that he hooked up with me from another site. He told them to tell me that, that is why i think it has to be one of those two guys.  
So anyways, sometimes there isnt any other avenue to put closure to something.l  If it makes me look like a whiner...so be it.  I think it makes him look like a j... a$$.  And maybe I should clean his house for him or something... Cuz he was really mean.  Said good thing i dont show my face....wow.  That just floored me cuz I dont remember being with someone who would be that nasty.  
BY the way, I do show my face....

There are not 4 guys on these boards who could agree on pizza toppings or a pitcher of beer that would please the lot. But 20 to 30 consecutive 10 - 10s never (and shouldn't ever) raise an eyebrow.
     :

Agree with most of what has been said here.  I tend to look at the trend of the reviews. If all are "over the top", am a little suspicious. If all are bad, especially recent ones by several  different hobbyists, I get wary. As far as reading her side, I would look at them, but am afraid many times those replies would come off as "sour grapes" and not matter of fact. Ladies would have to be careful to stay objective when writing these replies. Would be tough, since is an emotional experience, I'm sure, when getting a bad score. When I worked as a waiter, it always stung when I heard that someone asked to not be seated in my section. And that service was a lot less "personal"

When I see a low score I check out the reviewer... 9 x out 10, he scores everyone low.....

LMAO!!
