Don't you think grade inflation is a result of provider backlash or he thought if you are a tough grader you will miss out on some fun. It's to the point where a 7/7 is an insult.

But TER has no interest in fixing it.  It is manipulated by providers and reviewers and is totally corrupt.  As for changing it?  Don't hold your breath.
Anyway, if you know how to read reviews and back channel, you can work around it.

are the ones rated at 7/7 because they have more character and are also really good in looks and service

No. It means the numbers don't mean anything, whether they are 7/7s or 10/10s.

Yes, to many a 7 is an insult because of rating inflation. Us gals do suffer for a rating like that. This is all caused by the providers who do bitch about their ratings. Some do, some don't. The ones who don't, get fucked in the end. The great thing is that the providers who bully get back channeled or not reviewed at all. It does balance out for the most part. The honest ones get better back channel info about them. Unfortunately most guys are not that suave on the hobby to seek this info out.

And it is statistically proven.  You ask reviewers to rank people as you do today, and the after their ranking, you ask for a conjoint analysis of several other folks that they had seen,  you then form a synthetic forced curve for each reviewer, assuming that they can judge 'Experience A was better than experience B'

With reality and a better time all the way around ! Also in many cases less drama ,and less $$$$ s ! Also the guy is at ease with writing a review , less pressure to have to give a fucking 10 , and can go up or down a point or two without pressure .

Actually it's not. I am amazed that people can't figure it out. You guys that can't stand when 10's are given out should just ignore the numbers completely and read the reviews.

Not that there weren't issues before with grade inflation, but the problem got exponentially worse when TER made the top 100 lists.
Providers want to be on those lists and when they are on them, they don't want to drop off of them. They use the lists for marketing and to raise their rates.  

If you're a gorgeous, 20-something, leggy blonde, like Blaire Fierre, or any of the other gorgeous Babes in L.A., why waste time?
Get your "naughty" on and be quick about it. Only live once, gentlemen. Own it!

plastic surgery for a boob job; but I see it is statistics you are referring to.

Couldn't find too much on it except the article below with regard to salary and bonuses.  They take a bit of a jaundiced eye to it.

And, yes, it is a joke and not simply because of gratuitous 10s, so don't put words in my mouth. And it's not just the numerical grading system that's faulty because the Juicy Details are often not the best guide either.
What is true is that it's possible to successfully use the reviews despite these flaws (which I did point  out) by knowing which reviewers can be trusted, using back channel to find out additional info and developing a network of friends in this game who can refer girls to you.
PS: If you'd bothered to check my reviews before posting your little rant, you'd know that I'm not remotely a "low-scorer."
Get over yourself.

Has anyone ever had what they would truthfully score a 10/10 in civie world?

I disagree with your statement that those of use who do not manipulate reviews (and therefore have 7s) are "fucked in the end."  Or maybe I do agree, because I'm getting fucked a lot.  My 7s haven't hurt my business at all -- I'm as busy as I want to be, and regularly decline appointments because I'm already booked.

At that point she literally was "once in a lifetime" for me.  She was also a gorgeous model.  Lucky me!

Yeah, the only problem was, she was dumber than a bag of hammers.  Sweet little gal, though, with a great ass.  Went to Harcum Junior College, of which it was said, "Harcum, Park-em, Fark-em."

Would dumb still be considered a 10 then? LOL. If so, more power to ya'.

For a brief period of time she was literally my "one in a lifetime."  Of course, at that point it was a pretty short lifetime. LOL!

Yeah, I use them too but not the way you think...   Frankly, anything below 7/7 is a cause for concern...  if you came...  she should be able to get that.  The proof is in the details & you have to read them for yourself.  Very often an isolated low NUMBER score, reads as better or the hobbiest explains HIS share of the fault.   I discount a single low NUMBER score per page of reviews.  What I am concerned is repeated wide swings. But again I am interested in the written text.

In your post of one of the biggest Top list manipulators ever!

in LA back around 2002 or 3. Suddenly it was a blood war between the ladies, and the gentlemen were being told by some providers "10-10s or you do not see me!"

or porn star Aletta Ocean I'd have no compunction giving a 10 for "Appearance". Ms. Vergara would still need to prove her "Performance" however.  

My latest provider looks as good as Sophia Vergara, in my opinion, although she has DD's and not EE's or whatever size Ms. Vergara is. In terms of performance, the provider is exceptional.  

girls and later women who were very awkward or clumsy in bed once it got passed kissing.

You don't say? Never had enough time to concern myself with such things, but since you pointed this out, thanks for the giggle!
