My husband and I can't get over most of the appearance scores we read after viewing the providers' websites.  On average, the scores seem too high for what we are seeing. A lot of 8's for ordinary looking women. And at 9, one would expect to see a VERY good looking hottie - not just an attractive woman.

Thus the dilemma. He saw a provider with mostly 10's and a few 9's. He wants to give her an 8! By TER's standards, she would never be this low. I'm trying to explain to him the economic realities of this move. She tours with ads about her high scores. I believe this would hurt her business. How much do appearance scores impact a provider's business?

So give the score you feel is fair. Besides Photo Shopping is amazing these days and big let down when you actually see the provider after seeing the Photo Shopped web photos.

Appearance scores have been discussed ad nauseam. Try the backchanel method next time before seeing someone. Reviewers are more likely to give  their real opinion of a provider's appearance  in private.

As far as what you or I think is an accurate review...well, that's all subjective.  There are guidelines on here, but with the number of reviews that are submitted, I think it's largely impossible that TER has the ability to actually monitor this well.

So there are a lot of reviews that end up going through that might be questionable in terms of the standards applied for the numerical score.

That's why I don't pay really close attention to the numbers, and more attention to the verbiage.  If the reviewer can't articulate his thoughts, the whole review gets a lot lower weighting in my book than a review from someone who can actually communicate, spell and punctuate.

And generally speaking, if the reviews are 8s and above, that's enough to warrant a further look.  I don't distinguish between 8, 9 and 10, personally.

I also crosscheck the reviewers' review versus his other ones, and see his history of scoring.

The reality is, you are correct.  Too many guys on here gripe and complain about "inflated scores", but who inflated them?

Whether we like it or not, 7 de facto = "average".  If you give below that you ARE likely hurting her business.  Just know that.  Guys who insist on "accurate grading" are not living in the real world that TER has become, and they don't live with any consequences.

The numbers have lost whatever value people originally intended them to have; almost every numerical grading system gets sqewed this way in this world and the rest of the real world.  Best option: grade as if 7 = average woman, and then be honest in your words about whether her photos are current/active, and let guys decide whether she looks apealing to them.

People who grade more harshly than the REAL de facto standards do hurt the ladies.  But somehow I guess it makes them feel better that they are a lone voice for truth and justice.

Post O euphoria inflates grades at least 1 level...   but seriously...  didn't he do his homework?   TER has links to her current ads.  LOOK at the pictures & decide for your self.  
A provider is much more than a flat photo.  It's really about performance, if your excuse the pun, that is where the rubber meets the road.  The most stunning body (like a high end sports car) is worthless if the motor doesn't start!  (Told to me by an aquaintance with a Jag V12 that spent more time at the dealer than his garage.)  

I'd be happy to receive an 8. This whole grade inflation is out of control. Give the score you feel, after all, YOU are the reviewer. What matters most is what is SAID in the review.

I do research escorts I want to meet based on my preferences- google, ter, tineye -
Lots of fake pics, and you can profile well by reading reviews and PM the latest reviewers.
I'd say my satisfaction rate is 85%, so it works for me this methodical approach.
With image tools (photoshop, gimp, paint.net) you can unblur the faces of some pics and
Get a better view of the lady and be sure is of your liking.
Depending on the escort market, you cannot get 10 or 9s all the time, but
Something more important is performance: you'd remember and probably repeat an 8 in looks but 9/10 in performace than a 10 with 8 in perf.
A couple of times I got impatient - an escort cancelled - and chose a less reviewed or no reviews at all and I got disapointed.
So, I now let my upper head to make decisions and my lower head to have fun.

Anyone who is reasonably studious in their research is going to not only read the review, but try and find out what the deal is with any "outliers."  In the end, I trust the written word more than the number.

Scores vary, and if I see a review for a provider with scores that vary from 5-10 (or in between) I always read the reviews - often the guy who gave a 5-6 will write a great review, its just if you check his other reviews he always grades tough.  Most providers have their own websites, and I form my own opinion of their appearance anyway.  I look for averages, not just a few, and if the review indicates a fun person to spend time with, frankly 7-10 does not matter, its the person and the experience that make a great session, not the 7-8-9-10.  Is she clean, friendly personality, on-time and easy to deal with, does she seem a level headed person who enjoys the session, is it a no-rush session.  I've had a great time with older providers who most would only rate a 5-6 on appearance, but they provide a fantastic session - and besides, neither I nor most of the other guys on here are 9s or 10s ourselves.

should ever put your faith so to speak in a another man's opinion. Just because they give her 10s, does not make her a 10. Just because your hubby thinks she is an 8, also does not make her an 8. Looks are very subjective so if the guys before you only saw 7s and 8s, they may very well think this girl is a 9.

I know I am no 9 or 10...only an 8 on a VERY good day with makeup, hair extensions, spray tanning and right out the gym lol, but I still have many men give me those scores. You also have to consider how they are grading. Some guys grade against other women in that area who are getting high scores, and some grade compared to Hollywood standards...the two meet up, and we have this problem

I have said this before and I will say it again...if a girl in my area with no teeth is being rated a fkin solid 8, most of the other girls who look way better deserve a damn 10! Problem is, not all guys consider that shit and grade on girl compared to Megan Fox, then the next compared to the hags around her getting high scores.

Tell your hubby, it is his review and his opinion. An 8 in looks is not going to break her for heaven's sake.

Quite a few of these top providers think 8 is not acceptable (even 9 for some) and thus will drag down their averages.  They will pester you to change your score; most of them just plead but a few will use thinly-veiled threats. If your husband doesn't want to deal with the drama, it's best not to write the review.

He can use an alias to write the review. That usually works.

What's the point of even writing reviews?  Write a fake review, inflated scores, and give the real deal behind the scenes.  What a bunch of lame ass, weak, pussy whipped dogs.  Write an honest review, and if you fear retaliation, find a provider secure with herself who isn't a nut job, or write your reviews under an alias.  Stop lying, you're adding to the problem.

as they say, "In the eye of the beholder".  Obviously many guys around here have never "beheld" a true 10, so their opinion is shaded by their own reality.  So it is all really relative, as far as looks go, to what you like.  There is no certified rating system!  She may be an 8 to you, but she may be a 10 to some other dude who doesn't have a beautiful wife looking at the photos with him.  You can only put so much stock in "opinions", and any girls who are so caught up in that number are truely missing the point.  There is so much more to what makes a woman beautiful than what can be seen in a photo-shopped image.  I would much rather be with an 8 who makes me feel like she is a 12, than a 10 who makes me feel like she is a 7, if you get my drift.  Bottom line, one man's rating has nothing to do with my decision, and IMHO should not impact a provider's business one way or the other.

This is one of those things that just makes you roll your eyes. I've seen alot of girls in my area with no teeth and a habit get an apperance score of 8 or 9. The rating system is bullshit, just do your own research.

I love your honesty friend. Mwahs!

Give her the scores you want to give her. But seriously if you are tearing yourself up over whether to give an 8 or a 9 you are really thinking about it waaaaay to hard.

First of all, seveal have suggested reading the reviews - You should.  I look for key activities in the reviews that I prefer, I also look for key activities that are forbidden DFK, DATY.  I like those things, without them, I am less satisfied.  I look for the # of reviews, and read the earliest review, compare it to the latest review - are they consistent.  I also look for consistency - if her scores are 9, 9, 4, 3, 10, 7 etc, I want to know why the inconsistency - example, not the same girl!  that happens.

I also look to see what is said by the 10/10 rater, but I also look to see if that reviewer rates ALL women he sees as 10/10.  If so, I discount his rating.  Same with the low raters, does every provider he sees get a 6/6?  If so, likewise I discount his rating.  Is the lady reviewed by guys who have written only one review?  Theirs?!  That is likely to be a poser.  I look to see if the lady has a presence on her local board, the national board, and sometimes I will PM her to get a sense of her personality.

Tin eye can also help determine if the photos are ripped off.  

Numbers themselves - what is in a number?!  If a lady has smaller boobs, I will tend to grade her lower, similarly good teeth bring her score up.  If she smells clean and fresh - she gets a boost in score (I've actually gagged when smelling some ladies' hair).  

As to looks (Facial).  I cannot stand the way Sarah Jessica Parker looks - same with Megan Fox (go figure).  But, I find LiLo a wonder of beauty, same with Rachel McAdams! Bette Middler or Amanda Seyfried!  based on that, would you trust my judgement on looks!???  However, If you read a representative (good and bad) of the reviews, picked by the ratings, you will probably get a picture of a somewhat realistic impression of the lady.

For my money, the most intersting, exciting, intoxicating and beautiful woman on TER was the one I didn't see - for you see, she is an ideal, perfection, because I have not yet confirmed her flaws.  She is she who shan't be named.

He waits a little while to write a review and does not give specifics if he cannot give her a stellar rating.  Less chance of retribution.  

But I do agree with you about the scoring.  There are times I look at the scoring and the pictures and think, "people need to raise their standards."  And I am not basing it off of Hollywood.  I make myself the baseline and I am just a moderately attractive woman.  I would give myself a 7, by TER reviews I would be a 9.

Way off topic I know but I just don't get it, lol. Come on dude Megan Fox is hot.

Based on that I could not give your scores any merit, IMO.

...it all looks legit with numerous reviews by hat appears to be valid reviewers....dayum
I tell you what, My ass would walk out. I be damned if I dropped a few benjis on anything but what I signed up for....period!! Oh, and I'd want some as money.
Fellas, put some Monopoly money in your pocket. Fake reviews deserve fake money!

I think my hubby's been looking at too many pictures of Mika Orihara online. lol  It seems reasonable to consider other providers in our area and judge accordingly. Even to consider the local civvie women in our town. Thanks for the idea.

I did not mean to suggest this particular provider was not a VERY attractive women and or that he was not pleased with her appearance. He's just taking the TER definitions like "model material" a little to literally. If it were up to me, I would give her a 9. But he'll have to make that final decision. It just seemed unfair to hurt her business in order to split hairs on this point.

Eww, BM? For real? Bluck! Then again, Bizarro is like 60 soemthing lol. Tastes change over time.

The day hobbyists started to give out their TER handles to get verified is the day hobbyists lost their balls and  score inflation started.

Yep, bunch lame ass, weak, pussy whipped dogs indeed.

Giving out handles and not having the guts to tell the truth makes the damn reviews useless. Then there are ass wipe Manginas and white knights completing the circle.

If the experience is bad, you would not see her anyway so what's the point? Don't get it, unless you are a pussy whipped, weak lame ass.

Sounds too good to be true...

average escorts as models, it takes away from the real looking models.
If she is hot, but not model material, he should score her an 8.
otherwise, what a joke!

-- Modified on 1/22/2013 5:58:44 PM

embarrassing! I couldn't be that type of escort.
Give me an 8 if that's what u think.

like you, she should be scored a 7.
I would be embarrassed to get all 9's and 10's knowing i'm really a 7 and then when the client enters my door, he is astonished or backchannels that i'm really no 10.
Or if I showed face photos and everyone could see I really was no 10, embarrassing! at least for me it would be.
people should start being real.

You have some rather impressive ladies on that list.  In my mind, a young Sophia was the most physically beautiful woman I have ever seen.  But I am especially impressed whenever someone remembers CC.  She was truly spectacular in my mind, yet so many guys go, "Huh?"  Their loss.

"Model Material" does not mean attractive. There are a shit load of tall, thin, flat chested models who are ugly as fk! A 7 can still be more attractive than "Model Material."

Dear Ms. Rayne:
Considering that you gave the response with respect to your looks and how it directly correlates to your score, do you think that you get higher marks because of your personality or your looks? Also what would the response be from your faithful constituency if you were to poll them? Also what is the one reason that you believe that you get repeat business from your particular clients as well? Would it be the sex,personality,looks or a combination of the above?

Bizzaro is "like 60 something"  Bwahahahahaha.....

I have teen-age kiddos... and an ex wife under 50.... who married a guy younger than herself because she was terrified of my getting older... but the hubby #2 is in the hospital more than a stethoscope.

My desire, to be goin at it hot and heavy with one of my stripper friends, and be shot by her jealous lover.... preferably in the brain!  and she have to tell the ex wife!  Bwahahahaha....

Workin on it.
