Just a few comments regarding my original post.  

First thank you to everyone who has responded so far.

1. In retrospect I should have said "Thank you, but no thank you." and left. However, I am weary of doing so for fear of: (1) Retaliation and (2) My own guilt and feeling like I should follow through. She mentioned this when we met at the bar prior to our meeting so I felt uncomfortable ending it there. It also didn't sound like a vaginal yeast infection etc so I thought it was OK to proceed. However, like I said, I should have stopped right there. Even so, she did not say it was going to affect our date.

2. She is not an 18 year old, mid 30's so she should know.

3. I understand with the looks thing and did quite a bit of research. I even found the model who she apparently uses on her site. When I asked about it she said she looked just like her. Maybe that should have been a sign too. I am very picky so I really shouldn't have proceeded without photos of her. But so many escorts do not provide face photos, which I completely understand.

4. However, 10's and 9's? It really is inexcusable to give a girl who is obviously not even a 6 or 7 a 10. Maybe you like the type or her service was good, but we are hurting ourselves when we inflate the scores. I try to look at how the guys rate their other providers but again if I don't know the other providers ...

5. My only recourse is to not see providers unless they have over 20 or so reviews. I'm afraid even then it's really a crap shoot. Spending $700-800 per hour should guarantee quality. I'm sorry it should.

In my most recent exploits in the hobby, I have started to become quite jaded. Specifically, the ratings system for looks. The last two providers were rated very high, one with all 10's on looks (9 reviews) and the other with about a 9 on looks after 12 reviews. The first was not a 10, but perhaps an 8 or so. She wasn't ugly but def not a 10. The second was so bad I'd have to rate her a 5 at the highest. It was really bad. Secondly, the first one mentioned above wouldn't let me touch her pussy - no DATY, finger outside or inside - and the sex seemed odd, for lack of a better word. She claimed that she had had an infection and was on antibiotics. If that's the case shouldn't she have told me ahead of time and let me decide if I wanted to proceed? She also kept using an awful lot of lube. Was not a turn on.

Is it just me or do others have the same problems?

TIA.

Two dates in a row were screwed up in some manner, and I left unhappy.

saw 3 providers in a row, very expensive, and very not memorable, one down right ugly imo and no connection whatsoever.

actually didn't hobby for about a year after that (actually because of other life concerns).  then i got back into it, and happened to hit a hat trick, 3 great gorgeous fun and well-priced ladies in a row.

so it happens.  take some time off.  when it's time to come back you will.

You have to do some extra research, I don't know your experience level in this hobby, but I will say this. Some reviews are a bit inflated to say the least. Do as much research as possible, meaning find as many angles and pictures of said provider as you can before seeing her, if your simply going by looks. You have to think, whats hot to one man is average to another, sometime I look at several client reviews as well, simply to see what constitutes a 10, 9, 8 etc in the looks department.  

Also, something to take into account, most providers with a nice website means they have put some work into it, to see them all glamoured up is about the same as expecting your girlfriend to perform like your favorite porn star.  I tend to love the more natural look, as it is a better representation of what she will look like.

After a while you have to stick with just a handful of providers that you know you click with and fit your taste.  When you get too greedy you always get one of those situations where you meet a woman who you think is going to be a superstar and she turns out to be an average woman with a hyped up website and exaggerated reviews.

Seeing a client when you have an infection and don't want to be touched or no DATY? That's just sad :

Young women tend to have more problems than we do sometimes.  Most but not all tend to be a little late or not ready.    I just accept it as normal and enjoy the girl when she is ready.    They don't do it on purpose.       I had one with unknown problems cancel and another wreck their car in the 3 hrs. it took me to drive to the apt..    Thank goodness it was an agency so a third girl was sent to meet me.     One well known provider on here was talking just lately about a client scratching her cooter real bad and saying she didn't know how long it would take her to heal.  Client had not trimmed his nails.   You have to give her some sympathy.    If she is sick and not able to do her job she should cancel.      Looks are somewhat up to the eye of the beholder.    Good service to me usually leaves me with a glow and makes me tend to rate the looks better.    I am a sucker for a red head with beautiful blue eyes.    Can't help it they just put me over on my backside.   I score it too because it's beauty to me.    Being older I think I appreciate beauty of young ladies more than some.    I rate them accordingly.

TBH, looks are always in the eye of the beholder.  But with me in my 40's, any provider in their 20's has a built-in "+1" to their attractiveness.  Still, even though I'm new to the hobby, I try to judge a girl's 'hotness' relative to the pics in her ad, rather than my ideal.

I try to make sure the text of my reviews are accurate for performance, appearance, and emotional connection.  But, YMMV, as always.

The only sentence I saw that really popped to me...

Why did you continue to see someone who has an infection in their vagina, and taking antibiotics for it? Once she told you that, you should have stopped. No wonder she wa using a ton of lube. Gros

He asked, shouldn't  she have told him ahead of time? That leads me to believe that she told him AFTER. I doubt many guys would proceed with a provider who says she has an infection before the party starts. I can see several providers who wouldn't say anything until after, however. He has a point, reviews are almost worthless and inflated. Hobbyists don't dare say anything negative in a review because the community will come out in force to  vilify and crucify him.  The same guys who tell him to "review" any bad session will switch over to their alias and call him a "liar" and accuse him of all kinds of nonsense. It's a lose, lose situation for most hobbyists, but we get to pay for the experience.

I guess knowing myself I would stop that session the second the person says they have an infection. Is what I meant. He did the entire session according to the post. I guess I have more balls than most to be direct with that person  if I feel my health is being jeopardized.

Seems we are talking about two different things, before/during and after. I'm still thinking after because, like you, I would have noped if out of there quick.

I totally agree, I think you have every right to politely say its clearly not a "good time" in every sense of the word and leave, taking your donation.  maybe a polite "here's xx for the time" but even then, the provider is sick and infected, that is creepy and risky.

The no touch, no taste, lots of lube provider sounds like a post-op tranny to me. Anyone else think that?

Never thought that was even a possible reason ... Even after you said it.

(we've all had them), I've been fortunate enough to have many excellent encounters. Since each encounter is unique and each woman is unique, I try to avoid stereotyping and thus becoming "jaded".

Everyone knows the appearance scores in reviews are very subjective... one man's 10 is another man's 5. It just is. One guy likes a "curvy" gal and gives her a 10, the next guy sees and 10 and books, only to realize she isn't the "spinner" he prefers. Doing good homework, PM'ing reviewers and especially knowing what you like can all help to interpret reviews in ways that lead to better experiences.

As for the vag infection.... that's on you. You should have simply left, IMHO. Not just unsafe, but a bit gross and destined to be subpar.

So YES, everyone has the same problems, we all just deal with them a bit differently I think.

With all my time in the hobby and the adult industry in general, one thing I've learned is that men's taste in women varies just as much as women's taste in men.  What is a 10 to one guy is a 5 to another.  They all don't like the Pamela Anderson Blond, skinny, fake boob girls.  Some like heavier girls, others don't care for blonds.  When a guy rates a provider in a provider, he's rating her on HIS taste, NOT yours.  

As far as being on antibiotics, it's true and very common that some women can get a yeast infection from them.  Regardless, she should have told you she wouldn't be able to provide all the services she normally does.  

Better luck next time!!!

Namaste

..especially after a bad experience or two. Taking a break is probably a good thing as it gives us time to rebuild the bank account and find renewed enjoyment after a short break.Once mongering is in the blood it's hard to let go of completely ;)

I won't even touch that whole infection thing- literally or figuratively! :/

That's the main problem I've found. Ratings are normalized according to age it seems. The other is that blonde bunnies get more value than they should and mysterious brunettes don't get enough. I think Asians in particular suffer for that. Also girls that are athletic, like that actually workout and have strong arms and abs, don't get enough increase in looks for it. There's also a ton of fake reviews and I suspect reviews given as quid pro quo

The numerical scores are a good start but usually if she is really attractive and blurs her face the first lines of virtually every review are how attractive she is. If its not mentioned or pointed out often Ill take is as she isnt up to her number. I usually try to include my age in reviews also because in one instance the provider was older than me and to me I lowered her score for that but if I was older I might think she was more attractive. I also think some clients thjnk they might get blackballed if they score to low.

I was going to post a similar thread along the same topic.  Saw a girl recently who's pictures looked thin with some curves and the reviews and everything on TER suggested she was Thin - but she comes into the room at my hotel and she is clearly not thin.  She wasn't a BBW but more average.  Honestly, if it was an incall I would have left - I was looking for a specific experience and I feel I was dupped.  But, there she was in my hotel room.  It ended up OK and we had a good time - but it was not the body type I thought I was seeing.

So, beauty is in the eye of the beholder - that we can all understand.  But body type can be pretty easy to define.  A thin girl is a size 6 or smaller, Average is 6 to 10, BBW/Thick is above 10.  And Athletic means there is muscle definition - not anorexic or a cute-average girl.

Just my bitch session for today.

GaGambler207 reads

5' 2" and a size 6 is far from thin. 5'11" and a size 12 can actually be very proportional.

Aside from that, I pretty much agree with you.

Lastly, "athletic" seems to be the toughest to figure out here. Athletic in my mind is a "dancers body" with nice toning. Other people seem to think something more along the lines of "Bulgarian weight lifter"

Perhaps these definitions are just what you personally feel they should be?

Because the "Average" woman in this country is a size 14.  To be accurate, I believe it's 5'4" or 5'5" and a size 14.  

Size 0-2 (unless she's below average in height) is runway-model thin.   That's pretty small.  

A size 4 is still quite slender on a woman of average height.  Being tall, when I was a size 4 people were calling me skinny. Of course, it's not just size... it's how each woman carries it. ;-)

One of my celebrity crushes, Mariska Hargitay, has openly stated that she wears an 8.  Her figure is far, far more delectable than "average" IMO.  LOL.    

 
Opinions on size are absolutely like opinions of beauty.  What is "thick" for one person is going to be "thin" to another and vice versa.  There just really is no solution.  :shrug:

I will agree with you when you say the "average" woman in this country is a size 14,

but you have to agree with me when I say the "average" woman in this country is FAT. lol

Well, except for myself, that is lol.  Women are allowed to call themselves fat, but no one else is. ;-)

Statistically speaking, data shows that the average woman is a size 14 but I don't know what that "average" woman's BMI would be.  I'm guessing it would be in the overweight range, though.  

Several years ago, when I was working in a strip club, some young guy told me that I looked good but still had some "baby fat".  

My reply?  No,  at my age it's just fat-fat.  LOL.  ;-

GaGambler165 reads

but yes I did call out millions of women in general for being fat.

I think it's an accepted fact that a HUGE percentage of Americans are fat and out of shape, of course that goes for both men and women, but right now it's women we are talking about. I am sure if H+T our favorite MHB were here she would love to turn this into a conversation about fat johns, but fortunately she's not here. lol

and yes, baby fat doesn't exist after about age 20, and truth be told it isn't becoming even at age 18. When you see a chubby teenager, you can only imagine what a manatee she will be by her thirties. I don't mean to be harsh, and I most certainly am not singling anyone out, but if you list a harpoon scar as an identifying mark, well........lmao

BTW, you look just fine, for an old broad of course.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm going to have to go PC on this one and say that I prefer to use the term "overweight" rather than "fat".  ;-)

Having seen for many years just how much being called "fat" has hurt a morbidly obese family member, I am not one to use that term lightly.  

But yeah, more Americans are overweight than not.  Especially in the Midwestern states.  Again, not calling anyone fat, but when I want to feel skinny I just spend a weekend in Wisconsin.  heh heh heh heh  

And thank you.  JelloMan almost had me swearing to start a crash diet tomorrow, but you just brought me back from that lettuce-leaf edge. ;-) xoxoxo

I would be the "nice" one. lol

I have to admit I have to really dislike someone to call them "fat" to their face, or the internet version of "to their face"  but I don't mind calling groups of people fat. Ask any member of the OTHFBC if you doubt me

fat people use more soap

drive the personal hygiene market ?

GaGambler151 reads

The others drive the market for room deodorizers.

Size 14is average? Holy shit! You are correct. The last time I posted a comment about woman's sizes I got hate mail for a month. I learned that women are very sensitive about weight and body image ... just like guys are about dick size. Hmmm you could say that a woman's size 0 is disliked among women just like a guy with a farm animal-sized dick is disliked among me. Sounds like a PhD research topic to me ...

Your problem is that she is in her mid 30s. Again, people way overrate older providers. This provider is no doubt being visited by a ton of dudes that are senior citizens and who are too old for younger providers. Those guys rate a 10 because they are comparing her to old wrinkled women that are his normal social milieu.

did you read the details in her reviews to see about her performance related to what is listed in her profile? Did you PM any of the reviewers with questions?

JadedHobbyist163 reads

Yes to all of your questions. However, wrt the asking other reviewers I have had almost 0 luck getting a response back.
