I wonder how the partners and dearly beloveds of the gentleman here would score if their significant others had TER profiles. My guess is that the overall average across all individuals is around a 4-5 in both performance and looks categories.

I have a close friend (who I met through AFF) who would rank reasonably low in appearance, as compared to the lovely providers who I have seen.

Have a little respect. I think everyone does a pretty good job of beating around the bush and ignoring the obvious for the betterment and comfort of everybody, but I don't think it's funny at all to bash or even pretend to bash a significant other. Providers and hobbyists? Sure. Whatever. They're all here. Most of the SO's aren't even aware though, and speaking about them this way just seems cruel to me. Of course they're not as "good" as providers. They've stuck with you for better or worse.

Actually, for fun I once did a review comparison of all of my civie relationships over the years vs. P4P experiences.  In general, the average "1st time" scores of all experience were almost identical for looks and experience for P4P and my civies... but the longer we dated the lower the civie performance scores became.  I was lucky to have dated some beautiful women and I married one also.  But, there was a time when a 10 performance score from Mrs. Hey Mikey was possible... but today, the maximum, on a GREAT day with a full moon and a nice bottle or 2 of Merlot, is a 7 or 8... and I BET she would say the same, or worse, about me!  LOL)  I guess this is why I have P4P'd off-and-on for over 20 years.    I am not saying this to be mean, just to be honest.  

We spend a lot of time dissecting, analyze and objectifying providers on this site. We scrutinize body types. We rate appearances on a numerical scale. We break people down into measurements (bust, cup size, waist size, height and on and on and on).

To be honest, the women don't have a lot of choice. Not even just talking about TER, review sites  in general have made it very clear that fuck us, they will do and say what they want with the pictures and information stolen off our websites. Some even charge us hundreds of dollars a month for the "favor" of hosting ads and posting reviews that we (loudly and as a whole) don't want. TER is by far the most "provider friendly", and all that means is once every six months they remove a review for someone who's loud enough that she'll post it on the PO board and proclaim that change is a comin... Don't get me wrong. I'm not painting it all bad, but I'm always surprised at how unaware guys are of what kind of websites they're supporting. Most women seem to just shut up and take it too which only makes things worse.  

If your average real-world dates have been 4/5 in looks and performance, I feel very sorry for you!

Shed say I am a 7/7 all around. Of course I give my past girlfriends 7/4 once we commited.

Very valid points
everythign is geared toward hobbyists or webmasters wo make money off providers
no site is effectively geared to be in te providers favor

Just thinking about all my chubby old fellow hobbyists out there

Why no one has when it would be so easy? Who knows. The ladies as a whole seem ticked enough at the current ad/review options that I think it'd be a gold mine for someone.
