I find that many of us face the "how to rate" conundrum. For some, it may be easy. For me, being honest, it's only easy when the provider is near perfect. But more often than not, there may be some flaws. What makes it hard is these are people, not some product you can find on Amazon or eBay. They have real emotions and can be impacted by what we write.

so the honest thing to do is say whether or not she looks like her photos, or looks better, or not so much.

I agree! You chose her based on her photos. Others will see her photos. If she looks exactly like her photos, or better in your opinion, you should rate her very high. If she looks older or fatter or whatever standard made you feel she was not represented honestly, then you should ding the rating.  There is no universal standard for beauty. What is a 10 to one guy is a 4 to another. So you cannot really assign a number to describe someone. At best, or worst, you can just give your opinion. It is more fair to rate her based on how she represented herself and if she delivered.

There is no point in defending my support of your post.  There will be those who adopt a 'Client Code' mentality (write critical reviews to benefit clients, regardless of the impact on the provider).  That said, In general, I believe in the 'Client Code'.  Reviews should be written to benefit potential clients.  But, they can be honest, without being hurtful.

That’s fine. It’s the average of ratings that matters. People are always going to rate based on “how they felt” in the session(s). Your feelings for her deserves a score too. So I don’t see any harm unless you are just making things up. 8->9 is fine. 7–> 9 or 10 is not okay IM0

The only feelings im concerned about when posting hooker reviews on a fuck board is the gents that are slapping down their hard earned cash.  

The TER review form includes a field that asks whether the photos are accurate. If we follow your suggestion, once a reviewer has answered that yes, I guess it's up to each player to decide whether the lady in the photo looks like a 10, 9, 8, etc. I kinda like that idea.

I concur!

If I were to receive a 6 or lower score, I wouldn't see that client again and I'd assume the feeling is mutual. There is almost no reason for very low score reviews unless the provider is engaging in egregious levels of misrepresentation or scamming.

Typically girls who aren’t good looking charge less. So if she’s 6 on looks but great service and the guy scores her 6/9 there’s a problem with that? Maybe he’s picking her because she’s cheaper than what a 9 is charging but he wants the great service.

That plays out if she recognizes she’s not a 9/10 and charges less. Sometimes, a 6 thinks she’s a 9/10 and charges higher rates. If you don’t agree with her, she’s pissed and done with you. That said, if she truly is a 9/10, but someone gives her a 6, I can understand it. Doesn’t mean he’s lying because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But I can see it not being a match.

This guy "slammed" her but booked her anyways? Were her pictures not available? Were they so heavily edited that the real thing was not anywhere close?  

You've [indirectly] agreed with me and validated my line of thinking about what a "6" communicates. As a client, you believe that provider is undesirable.

I've given some of my atfs six in looks and I've seen dozens of times. So no, your assumption is false.

It's so bizarre how an an ubiased and honest review is somehow turned into some "client code".

He hits, this is just a faulty argument.
All sellers are people.

Companions (allegedly) getting "over rated" in looks is not my problem and it's not a dynamic that I care about in the least out of all the things to be worried about in 2026. I shared a practice that I would implement for myself based on what makes sense for me. Centering myself in how I navigate this work is my right. Exercising my agency is not something I need to ask permission for despite speculations about how what I choose to do may or may not affect people who I don't know and don't owe anything to.

"I've given some of my atfs six in looks and I've seen dozens of times. So no, your assumption is false."

and ask if THEY think six is a high score?  There are two things at odds here, what TER decided in the very beginning for scoring definitions 25 years ago, and what the practical aspect of what CURRENT providers consider them to be.  Even massage providers that are limited to a max of 7 do not consider anything below 7 as being a good score.  Go ahead, see more providers and ask around.  Your eyes may be opened to the current reality of scoring.  That's why I only use 4 of the 10 numbers . . . . .

If I give you a 6, we are not a match. I have no issues with you feeling it’s mutual.

If I give a 6, I’m waiving a red flag to everyone else to not see the provider. And, the details in my review will reflect it. And when I am looking, if I see 6s, I’m likely not seeing that provider. In most cases, I’m not seeing anyone with averages below 8.5. That said, on the occasion I see a kgirl, I will go lower. I have found kgirl reviewers to be tougher.

And I said, no, that assumption is false.

I couldn't give a giant rats ass what sellers think a low score is.

If that's how you feel and feel comfortable saying this why not put this on your website to let people know and not just on this forum with only seven smurfs left to read it?

on the inconsistencies created by the numerical scoring system.  It's a moving target, and you cannot have accuracy with a moving target.  I have often asked reviewers, did you really think girl X was better than girl Y, because they scored her higher.  Often, they will admit that the girl with the lower score was better, but because it was a few months ago, they didn't think to compare them head to head when writing the more recent review.  

Unless you were the reviewer you've not proven anything here to leads to some correct conclusion that her general assumption would be false.

I don't think I've ever seen someone say K-girl reviewers hard harder graders than others.

anything but worthless to other reviewers, not to mention that manipulation of review scores is against TER rules, and either the reviewer, her, or both may be subject to disciplinary action?  As is often the case, your advice is suspect at best, and worthless at worst.  

Mind you, I am basing this off of LA which has a really large kgirl market, but I have not researched other cities. It's extremely rare for a kgilr to have an average above 9. And, usually, that only happens when she is new and often it doesn't last. Even high 8s, while a little more common, is rare air. Some of the best kgirls tend to live in the 8-8.5 range. However, I have found decent ones in the 7.5-8 range as well. In fact, when you read their reviews it often reads more like they are following TER guidance and a 6 or 7 doesn't mean session wasn't good.

In my eyes, a review is an endorsement, and I only give out endorsements for the ladies I truly, genuinely enjoy.

Ah, right. Who needs negative reviews to avoid having similar experience to yours! Who cares about monger pockets, only care about provider pockets!  

How does the review rating system work?

I know. I gave up on it.

It’s entertaining how you argue with the masses who have caved to reviewing based on trends and meanwhile follow TER’s explanation like a lemming.

Lol.

25 years ago is still working at TER?  I doubt it, so perhaps an update from someone who is "current" on P4P trends and practices should update this antiquation that you still follow.  Just a suggestion.  

It would only be because she looked drastically different than her ad and P411 pics.  Hell, if I looked at her pics and I thought she was a 6 or 7 I simply wouldn’t book her.  If I did then that’d be on me.  However, if her pics depict an 8-10 and then looks drastically different than what I was basing my appointment on then a low score is more than well deserved.  I’ll even go further, I’d probably ding an extra point just based on her dishonesty alone.  I’d also mention it in the write up section of the review as well.  There is nothing wrong for calling out a provider who cheats clients; it’s essentially false advertising.

I have read a lot of reviews over the years. What I have found is many are written for the freebie membership points. And the majority are rubber stamped copies of one another.  Many are fake as in written by an insider or as a special favor when asked.
Are they useless?  NO. But one has to walk carefully through them. Some guys give nothing over a 7. While others, everything with breasts gets a 10.
I see many  ladies that don’t want or allow reviews. Not connected to TER.  Either they did too much, or too little, one time and it hurts their future.  🤷🏻‍♂️ I don’t really know.

Your details on what happened to me are off, but that has nothing to do with this conversation. That’s just you not liking the truth I spoke and taking a swipe. That make you feel better?

The point here was that providers getting mad at scores that arent even that low DOES have something to do with it.  
But I do think I might have confused you with 420 who was actually doxxed over a 7, so it is my fault - apologies.

Small side story. I have a large number of union workers. We have a CBA that we follow. It’s mostly letter of the law for them. However, if practice changes and everyone goes along with it, over time that practice can supersede what’s written in the CBA. This tends to be more the case when it favors the union. If they file a grievance and/or arbitrate, they will win. This is because the current trend bears more weight than the old written rules. This same logic happens in court all of the time.

The whole question of number of bins when setting up some scoring system is not really an answered and determined things. There was a study I saw a bunch of years back about this type of thing with financial recommendation and the conclusion was 3 to 5 is probably optimal and more than five just starts adding to confusion and makes the scale less valuable.

I asked how would we differentiate? So you answered - in no way. Great.
