I pretty much go by TER guidelines on reviews and since "10" means "once in a lifetime", I don't give them...yet.  When my review list has a 10 for appearance or performance for any provider, it will mean that I am retired.

As far as performance the ratings can be misleading.  An 8 session may have been just as enjoyable to me as a 9 but the guidelines only allowed me to give an 8.  That's just me, I'm sure every member has their own method.

IT is so simple ONCE IN A LIFETIME IS JUST THAT
I will say it can be verry differant from person to pearson. I have had CBJ's that were far better(and safer some like safer) Than BBJTC. Each of us has buttons and some people know witch ones to push for a specific responce  

ONCE IN A LIFE TIME thats a tough one to give.

Nicole,

Here is the relevant section from the guidelines:
"In order to keep our performance ratings consistent, we set up the following system: An escort provider may only earn up to a 7, unless she also performs the following during a session: Kisses With Tongue, Bare-Back Blow Job, Really Bi, Anal Sex, or More than One Guy. The addition of each offering will raise her score by one point. If your review doesn’t already accurately reflect this rating system, we will adjust it. "

If a provider has 3 of the five in her profile (or perhaps more accurately in the review), then a 10 is possible.

Yes, when I received my first 10 in performance, I got emails and PM's asking, "but I thought you didn't do anal?". And, I don't, so I was panicky that people might think I did.

As a professional statistician I do get that it is important for these things to be consistent, but personnaly I find it dissatisfying ... particularly since the above guidelines kept me from giving Jenni a 10 when due to the quality of the experience  she deserved it.  

On the other hand, another review I'm struggling with writing will come up with a higher number than I want to give, because enough of the services were offered, but the quality of the encounter was no where near as special.

I guess we can file this under "no system is perfect" and take heed to the various suggestions that one pay more attention to the written words than the numbers.  Unfortunately you can't do a search on the contents of the written part of the review.

Harumph!

It's so subjective, isn't it?  The sentiment has been echoed several times on this board -- one man's trash is another man's treasure.  I think it's especially difficult to judge today, when it seems like 4 out of 5 providers have a blonde dye-job, implants, possibly even liposuction.  What are we left with?  A bunch of identical clones with bleached hair, hard breasts, and no ass?  Just kidding.  

Actually, I still think that pretty is pretty, no matter what.  There are some providers who could shave their heads and tattoo their faces and they'd still be beautiful.  It just goes to show that there IS a universal standard.  People who say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' are probably just ugly.  Am I the only one who thinks this?        

On a different note, Nicole, I noticed that, at the time of this posting, no women have responded to my comment about female cops on 9/11.  Not even you.  Did I actually WIN that debate?  LOL

In all honesty, I didn't respond because I didn't think your comment merited one.  However, since you've mentioned it again, I'd invite you to read the link.

Excerpts:
New York's female firefighters--only 0.2 percent of the nearly 11,000 member force--and police officers listened as the media and politicians hailed the bravery of "firemen" and "policemen," feeling as though their own efforts responding to the attacks and their own losses had been discounted.
...
In honor of the death of officer Moira Smith, the only female New York City police officer killed on Sept. 11, the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association, the police officer's union, considered changing its name the gender-neutral term "Police Benevolent Association." That name has not been changed.

Two other women, Yamel Merino, an emergency medical technician, and Captain Kathy Mazza of the Port Authority Police Academy, were killed responding to the Sept. 11 attacks.

That's doesn't quite disprove my argument, but nice try.  I can't see how we can use fire fighters for this discussion at all, because there are so few female fire fighters to begin with (as you point out).  But there are almost as many female cops in New York as there are male cops.  And yet only two female cops (and one EMT) died in rescue attempts.  I'm obviously not saying that women are cowardly; what I was implying is that men have a biological reason for risking their lives.

The fact that a provider does those things only makes her _eligible_ for the extra points.  It does not mean a reviewer is required to add the points to his rating.  She doesn't _earn_ a certain rating just because she does certain services.  It is up to the reviewer to rate how well she performed.  

Also, just because a reviewer does not take advantage of all those services does not mean she is not eligible for an 8, 9, or 10.  The fact that those services are available from her is enough.  If the provider's profile indicates that she offers all the extras, but the reviewer chooses to not to engage in them, but has the most amazing time of his life, he can still give her a score higher than 7.

I don't make the rules--I'm just helping to explain them, as I understand them, so please don't argue with me about them.

> what I was implying is that men have a biological reason

On a purely subjective basis, I disagree.
Trust me, you'd never want to get my mom pissed.

Personally, I believe women tend to have more compassion and I think that's part of the equation of "what makes people risk their lives?".  While the "stereotypical" woman may generally perceived as risk-averse, that may be because of societal limitations and sexist attitudes.

>there are almost as many female cops in New York
>as there are male cops

You haven't offered any cites, and I'm not disposed to do your research for you, but I found this, from (I believe) circa 1996:

"Today, in the New York Police Department, 15% of all uniformed officers in the department are women, but only 9% are sergeants, 6% are lieutenants, 3% are captains and 4% are above the rank of captain (personal communication with the Office of Management and Budget, NYPD, data are for 7/31/96)."

"Almost all of the past research on women police has focused on the capabilities of women to perform police work; virtually all conclude that women, indeed, do have such ability. This capacity includes physical as well as mental and emotional fitness. Studies demonstrating women's capabilities have covered the areas of patrol work (Bloch and Anderson 1974, Sherman 1975, Townsey 1982) citizen satisfaction (Sherman 1975), police chief evaluations (Seligson 1985), response to hazardous situations (Elias 1984), academy academic performance (Elias 1984), physical capability (Townsey 1982), physical training receptivity (Moldon 1985), and the handling of violent confrontations (Moldon 1985, Grennan 1987)."

Industries are allowed to sell "pollution credits" to other industries.

Here's an idea: What about providers being allowed to sell points to other providers? (A new possible revenue stream)

...just the musings of an idle mind

Another thought:

I find all this discussion about points and scores interesting.  How important are these points to providers?
Do these scores actually have an impact on (provider) revenue?
Does it serve as a carrot for providers?
Might those who are reviewed seek to provide better service for the sake on an extra point?

I may take a clipboard to my next appointment.

Yo, Sedona, would you be willing to go for an "11"?

And don't all "bad" girls get it in the end?  Eventually?  Yes.....?
