I have been a hobbyist since 2006 and fortunately seen some wonderful providers. I write reviews on about half of them. The other half have requested no review or I felt unmotivated to share that experience be it good or average. Bad experiences are rare because I select carefully and use TER to its fullest. However when a provider is poor I sometimes call her out as a service to my fellow hobbyists. Here is my question based on several providers asking me to write them a 10/10 review or write nothing at all....have you experienced that verbage from your providers and is it not a turnoff? In my case those requesting those high scores are not deserving and at best are a 8/8. Please share from both a provider and hobbyist point of view.

Mostly I've had gals ask not to have certain YMMV things we did put into a review.  I did have one gal ask me to raise a 9/9 review to a 10/10.
Another got a 7/7 and asked me to remove the review.  TER refused because it's against their explicit policy that, once approved, the review belongs to them.  Then the woman in question went to TER and told them the date never happened and they unapproved it.  I didn't fight it but obviously never saw her again.
But most of the time the women don't ask about a review at all.

for the same reason you posted this under an alias?

before the top provider list was established. It was a new provider, if I recall she only had 2 reviews, and both reviewers had given her 10/10 scores. As we were finishing up, she asked me if I was going to give her a review and would it be a 10/10. I simply replied I'd probably review her but never mentioned the score I would give her

I've never had a provider ask me FOR a TER review, let alone a high score. One woman asked me not to review her, saying in a low-key way something about not liking them. If I had reviewed her I would have given decent marks. I don't know what it would have been, probably NOT a 10/10. She had a few of reviews. Less than a full page. I didn't think much of it, certainly not that she was hiding anything.

That brings up a good question: is a gent asking for whitelisting the same as a girl asking for 10s?  

Then don't write the review. You are not doing anyone a service if you do. Or write the review under an alias at the latter end of the timeframe.

The two of you continue to provide humor and excellent advice. If there was a Monger Hall Of Fame or at least a TER Hall I would nominate the both of you.  

Can you explain your logic here? If I'm going to a really high-end restaurant, I would look for reviews so I know I'm not going to get hosed when I get there.  

because I wrote a really good review...so good that it pissed off her boyfriend.

I don't understand it.
I will say that I enjoy the feedback from the men.
I think sometimes we only want to see our side...

makes you wonder how they got their solid (inflated)  reviews.  

Actually the OP has never given a 10/10 so if he ever does write one it will actually mean something coming from him.

I have seen a couple of the ladies he has reviewed and while his scores are lower than either of their "average" scores, I think the OP is spot on in his ratings.

I just decided not to be cheap, signed up for VIP and figured, "what the Hell."

I never did quite understand why the old church cut that deal with the Germans and add that numbnuts to the pantheon of Saints.

DA, I know some people dislike you, but I have always found your posts to be sarcastically witty, highly intelligent, and flat out funny.

To me, the WL is for the providers' security and to aid in screening. Whether or not the man is good in bed or fun to be with isn't what it's about.

you've been on the end of my pitchfork.

The real Satan does post.  But  not here.
Submit to your Dark Lord

Why a provider would do this. I would think honest reviews would be better so the gent knows what to expect. It's better for a gent to be pleasantly surprised than to be like WTF was that? I actually like that when I open the door and I can see the surprise on his face because he thinks I'm prettier than my pics. I think it reflects his review, and I think he's more likely to return. And, isn't that the goal? REGULARS?

I know I do

You're supposed to be one of the 4 pricks. Not funny. :-P

Express line, one way, like a G6...  Right?

Just remember, to paraphrase Harry Truman: I don't act like a prick.  I just tell the truth and some folks think I'm a prick.
(Truman, known as "Give 'em Hell Harry," was once asked, "Mr. President, why do you give them hell?"
Harry replied, "I don't give them hell, I just tell the truth and they think it's hell.")

I tell the truth & am blasted for being "a bitch."

You know you've made it on TER when they start referring to you as a "Man hating bitch" and not simply a bitch. Ask HotPlants and H+T, they have both made it to that lofty level here, and I know H+T is loving every minute of it. Now that she's discovered the pleasures of the "dark side" she may become every bit a bitch as I am an asshole.

and don't forget the next step in your evolution here, and that's when they start calling you "negative" and "angry"

and one last thing. I think I like "yo mammna" already, she sounds like a smart woman. lol

1)Then don't write a review:

Just a different way of asking.....

Maybe guys like fungus but here I thought I was cool with most people so your post is a little bit surprising.  Actually,  some may be offended that I joke too much and post too much but whatever. lol  

Take them for what they are worth.... some seemed pretty bogus to me.

Oh, I meant I don't understand why a provider would insist on a 10/10 or nothing at all. It's deceptive.  

I don't get why guys feel such an obligation, to go as far as risking their entire lives just to make sure a girl gets an 8 instead of a 10. Listing who is doing it? A lot of these guys are dishing out their real information. I would never. Not on TER General. Yikes.

Being called a bitch on here is a badge of honor. It means you have been truthful and it struck home.
