It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that grade inflation is rampant in reviews these days. Some reviewers throw out 10's without blinking either to follow the herd, or at the behest/badgering or coercion of providers. This leads me to my serious question.

If you could review a provider without their knowledge and for your fellow hobbyists only, would your scores change?

If she's attractive im going to give her an 8/8 or 9/9

However i think 10/10s should be reserved for playboy/supermodel looks and performances. I think some guys had made a mockery out of 10/10s... Or maybe they don't understand the meaning of a 10

The scores don't mean much to me.
The description and actual review holds much more weight than her score.

Like another said...I am probably an easy grader when it comes to looks.  As long as you aren't picaso-face...and all your pieces and parts are where they are supposed to be...you will probably get a good score from me in the looks department.  Good being anywhere from 7 to 10.  

That my reviews should be a good two points on average lower.  My rationale was having seen hookers that were being touted as Top hookers on TER I found that many were just average looking women.  Hence my scores then, and now are based on the women that I see in everyday life.  And rarely do I ever see a really unbelievable 10...a woman that I would just follow in a mall to just look at her.  

I think my scores on performance are pretty damn fair. And as far as looks go, each man has there own opinion, what I find very attractive, you may not. If I were to go off what the norm is with grading on supermodel looks and saw only supermodels, those average look scores would be around 7's, because I don't find the supermodel look attractive. So I grade, score, on what I think is very attractive in my mind. But I'm getting old and all younger women look good..................

I agree that reviewing under alias does serve a purpose, but the way providers exchange information on hobbyists that cloak could easily be gone after two or three reviews.

Can you make me a Captain Obvious image with Picard while you are at it?

It's all subjective. Hell, Playboy type models and supermodels are two different types, looks wise. Most supermodels are SKINNY and Playboy models are enhanced and more curvy.

Some consider the old school beauty standard Once In A Lifetime.

It's highly doubtful that Marilyn Monroe would have been considered Playboy material today. But her beauty and sex appeal transcends time.

My question was not complicated. Would your scores change?

You can be skinny and be consider a 10, you could be curvy and considered a 10 hence the supermodel/playboy reference.

And there's nothing subjective about a 10. TER guidelines list 9s and model material so to give someone a 10 they would have to exceed model material as a once in a life time beauty.

I've seen some 10s scored on here... that Hugh Hefner would never consider letting them pose for playboy.  

Most of the 10's are 8's in my view with a few of them being 9's.

I haven't given a 10 in performance in a long time, and I give plenty of 7s & 8s for appearance.  

very good question..as you know i am a very liberal grader and give out a lot of 10/10's..most are deserved..but i do admit " following the herd " on occasion..i try to see girls with almost or perfect 10/10 reviews..therein lies the rub..if a lady has twenty straight 10/10 reviews..i would feel uncomfortable giving her anything lower..it is all about the arena you wish to play in..i know i see a lot of ladies that very few others can see..they will not book a guy who gives low scores wherein they are more than happy to book me..they consequently almost expect it..these 10/10 girls always look at at potential clients past reviews and make their choice..that is the system that is in place right now..we can talk about the pros and cons forever..but that is just the way it is..

To me, a 10 is a gorgeous head-turner who stops traffic and causes guys to walk into walls even if they're with their wives.  It's not something reserved for only one woman you review, like the language suggests.  All this is part of the problem with the review system here, which is well known.

And doesn't putz around in some PT Cruiser....

Christie Stevens whom you reviewed to me is a prime example of a 10.

You lucky SOB lol

The former are supposed to be only about appearance.  If she performs amazingly well you still shouldn't up her appearance score.  I have a little subbie I reviewed where I only gave her a 6 for looks but a 10 for performance because she really was a "once in a lifetime" performer.

But you didn't answer the OP either!

And you will be joining No. 1...

oh yes..will not argue about that..most of Adonia's girls are in that class..

You gave her a 7, not a 6.

Yeah, I know it's all Picard's fault. lol

Another example mac BRIGITTE ADAIR whom you reviewed, you scored her a 10 and she's a 10.

I'm not confusing anything.  I never specified what kind of '10'.  My comment was more "my" perfect 10.

I won't make my own memes. You know I don't want to be called a copycat.

before the grade inflation went out of control. I have a lot of respect for your honest reviews.

I remember the days when providers would thank us for an 8/8.

In fact, I may have poked you a couple of times myself. OK, I did, lol. A few times.  

I appreciate the insight from you though and I think I can deduce that your reviews are written more for providers then they are for hobbyists.
Since your motivation is primarily to see the next provider would you still grade them so high of they didn't know they existed?  

your opinion is just as subjective as the next guys. Most supermodels are way tall, over 5'9". many dude's ideal woman is shorter in height than that. Print models are different than many runway models. Internet models are different than both many times.

And once in a lifetime is just as subjective. It's how a woman visually impacts you, and that varies from person to person. Your ideal now might be different than it was 10-15 years ago, who knows.

Performance scores are subjective.. I just can't see how appearance scores could be subjective unless the guy is Ray Charles.

It should be basic common sense whether or not someone is attractive or not.

For example there's nothing subjective about rating Rosie O Donald a 10 no matter what i think she's not a 10 in appearance

I made one that had Picard saying, "Gambler!  You fucking checked?  What a douche! Now FYATWYRIO!.
Man what a waste of oxygen you are!  Even I was too lazy to check the appearance score.  This proves you have even less of a life than I do.
And, BTW, I just got back from fucking a hot little number called Bambi Lynn.  Review up soon.  She got an 8/9.  She is some kinky little sweetie.
Back to the Vodka

at least I understand it better.  But your original post certainly made my first comment appropriate. Personally, I think most people would say her personality is part of her performance.  But your approach -- combined with what the other posters have said -- is one good reason why the numerical scores are virtually useless.  Not that I care.  I've got plenty of ways of learning what I need to know to book and not be disappointed.  Mainly, back channel.

oh fuck it, I have a bottle of champagne sitting here much more pleasant than you.

Enjoy your vodka, and your memories of Bambi Lynn. fucker

If he says no...some hookers will slit their wrists.  Or threaten him!

Had to drink some with JennaBaby on Friday.  Pfui!  Jenna's pussy, OTOH, delightful!
And, you idiot, I don't infer.  I imply.  You infer.  Are you getting it now?  Fuck! Where's TheCunningLinguist when I need him???

To me.

I guess that's is a small step up.

None of us were ever going to get anything out of reading his reviews anyhow, at least he is getting something by writing them. That is if you think that getting the privilege of fucking rather ordinary women for twice the price as the rest of us qualifies as getting something.

I will admit, it's the most honest thing he has ever written since being here, so it's a start. I hope he didn't piss off too many of the HDH's he's been seeing in the process.

sans make-up, hair and accessories? Some could easily rate a 6 or qualify as a butterface!

correct..there are a lot 10/10 ladies left out there i would still love to fuck..trouble is..i simply cant afford it..that is probably what this thread is really all about..

I can see how guys with 20+ reviews would grade tougher.
But I'm easy to please. So my performance reviews may be higher than a guy with ED.
The looks score is completly opinion.
What I find hot you may find nasty.
I just look at her pictures, and decide for myself.

Nope, looks are the most subjective thing you can find dear. If a guy is more attracted to BBWs, than the spinner types, in HIS EYES the women he sees are 9s and 10s. You can't just set a 10 scale to suit what YOU like..that's projection. Looks are and always will be SUBJECTIVE. Your 10 might be a gal who is 110 lbs. B cups, and no tattoos, where another guy's 10 might be someone who is 160 lbs, D cups (enhanced) and tons of tats. You can disagree til you're blue in the face, but you cannot tell another guy what he should find attractive.  

You could poll a majority a 100 men and 90% of those men would not find Rosie O Donald attractive.

We all have something called common sense, men that fine BBWs attractive don't represent the majority.

I proved my point, but you failed to prove yours lol. In fact, you just proved my point with your "majority" comment ha ha. If 100 percent of those people don't all agree, it is subjective.

Um, you've never given a 10!

The same can be said for the hobbyist that cannot score higher than a 7.....
While I see some guys give a 10 just for getting his rocks off, there are guys that never score above a 7...  
Personally, my scores have never been coerced.....perhaps before ter there would have been some 5,6,and 7's.  But I joined TER to avoid that scene....

And when I look at some of the providers they see, guess what I see. A bunch of 4's and 5's (I'll skip the manatee jokes).  

Back in the earlier days of TER an 8/8 was considered a good score and 10/10's were far and few in between. Most 9's were seriously hot providers.

you've proven your point on subjectivity.

inicky,

preferring the natural beauties.  beyond the looks their attitude and "Je ne sais quoi" that they carry is all part of the package.  Not all ladies can pull that off.
But you're right this a subjective experience.
