depend on who is writing the review. My 9 might be someone elses 7 or 8. And 23 is young darling.

Numbers have never helped me decide. Need to see face picture.

Really hot to me is just that, really hot!!! That's not a bad score at all.

Not certain what famous person made that quote..... But..

This horse has been beat often, rode hard & put up wet....Hell, you have guys that never grade above a 6....with 30+ reviews.....are they that damaged?? However...

Personally, in my search for a provider, I give more credence to ladies that have higher performance scores than they do appearance.

6= Nice
7= Attractive
8= Hot
etc...

I've seen probably 40-50 women from TER and have never given a 10 in appearance. In all honesty, I don't think I'm a shitty rater. Maybe I should have once or twice. In civilian life, if you're a 6 or above, you probably get hit on quite often. Doesn't matter if that's a the coffee shop, bar or in the grocery aisle.

IMO, as far as rating, a 9 in appearance will stop me in my tracks if I were on the street and (in civie life) is Totally Out of my League (Hell most 8's are). To me a 10 (on TER) is a woman that is Soo strikingly beautiful that she could literally make a sole- source, 6-figure+ income on her looks. Print ads, modeling, actress, etc...

In self-analysis, maybe I price myself out of that 9-10 market, because generally I stick in the $450 + under/ hr market.

Don't get twisted on it. I would always take a higher performance score over looks.  

Know what? Fuck that.  
It's a good thread on its own.

Darlin, please don't read too much into the rating. Some guys simply won't give 9's or especially 10's. I read the reviews, unless I see a bunch of 5-6. I also discount a bad review in amongst good reviews. Sometimes I think a guy might have erection issues and blame it on the girl or they are true assholes from the moment they walk in the door and the girl doesn't perform like she did with others.

I won't go into what's been beaten death about them.  I prefer to read the entire review

Yes, I will see 7-8 girls. Everyday and twice on Sunday...

...if I could visit that often. Those are good ratings. I go by how the lady looks in her photos, how she presents herself on her ad, on her site, in postings here if she has any. I consider performance more important than looks. If her scores are 7's or higher that's good. What the review says is important not just the scores.

If you are getting 7's & 8's you are doing well. I also say 23 is young. It may not seem so to you since you are older than you've ever been. Most of us though are 20 or more years older than that.

Really a 7 is a quite acceptable score.  Below 7 maybe not.   I'll be happy to see a consistent 7 gal.

FAR WORST is when there are performance swings from 9-10 to 2-3.  That's a warning.  Most of us know the numbers are not all of the story, it just speeds the process but pointing us towards a possible problem.  Sometimes the text will say the hobbiest didn't think she was his type but saw her anyway & she did everything possible.  That's on him.
Or performance swings may mean she's moody, is only good with guys who are her type (and remember my stud days were decades ago, if ever), or real / fake reviews.  Careful research will tell us, though often we learn enough to take a pass.

But a 7 is not a bad score.

about the ratings. Every hobbyist has their own idea of what a 7  or 9 is. I will just take the reviews with a grain of salt and checkout their website.

Of course I have no problem being with an "attractive" or "really hot" woman. Some providers consider a 7 a bad score. I don't think it is. Not everyone is "model material" or "once in a lifetime." Now since looks are subjective anyway, I don't trust some other guy's numbers (unless I find through his other reviews that his tastes are very similar to mine.) What is more important to me is that she has accurate pictures and I decide if I like her looks based on her pictures, vs some number on a review.

Most guys go purely skin deep (face value)on looks, I prefer to include the attitude, disposition, carnal desire wrapped in looks.
Simply put, I include character into the looks category.

If she is a dud character wise, it will cut her score from face value, similarly, I bump the face value for an erotically charged, sensuous character.

in a scale of ten it is a good score..the text of the review is much more important than the numbers

Sometimes the scoring rules don't tell the story...

Let's say a provider only goes with protective sex for everything and does not DFK or anal, at best she can only qualify for a performance score of 7.  Now let's say same provider goes above and beyond in effort and really rocks your world regardless of the limited menu.  Let's say she is really hot too, which adds to the experience.  I would love to give said provider a higher score than 7, since her effort might warrant an 8 for going the extra mile.  What happens if you really lose yourself in this provider as well, would you then want to give her a 9 for the fact that you forgot it was a service.

Then there is the score of 10 debacle.  In my opinion they should rename the 10 score something like "it don't get no better than this" or "as good as it can get", instead of the limited "once in a lifetime" title.  

The score for appearance means absolutely zero, because a picture of the provider will make an individual client determine what his opinion of her looks are.  Some guys like them skinny, some like them built, some like them phat.  Beauty in the eye of the horny guy.

Will you lose some business on occasion because of a score of 7?  Maybe. I can see where that might happen. You can only hope that most will take the time to read the review behind it and compare it to your website as well, and then make a decision if you are the right type of woman.

...I have my own taste in women and another monger may not find someone as attractive as I do.  Or vice versa.  I do need to see pictures on some site, though.

I do pay attention to performance scores and read a cross section of highs, lows, recent as part of my research.

Surgery.

But remember, you can't please everyone.  A corillary is No mater how hard you try, some one will either not like or hate you.
