between repeat visits to the provider and being able to write multiple reviews of the provider, if that's what you're saying.
I have tons of regulars and they are so lazy. I have tried to bribe them and everything. No matter what they won't write reviews. One guy said that he didnt want to "share". Whats a girl to do????
You need to come out to the Los Angeles!!!! LA guys love to write reviews!!!!
Join the foreign legion.
Afterall, the French are pretty good writers...lol
Cheers!
I read Life in the french foreign legion recently and according to that book women are not allowed. I can't remember when this book was published so maybe things have changed in recent years.
Maybe bribing them and calling them lazy isn't the way too approach them.
Alot of us are just uncomfortable with kiss and tell. I've written a few and have found it difficult when it comes to the juicy details. Too bad they can't relax that part of it.
You need to just tell those guys!?!??!!??

I'm not speaking for every escort but only for myself. I have over 40 reviews in the database and i've only seen most of them once. It's my experience that once they've reviewed me they seldom repeat. Why is this guys?
Since you already have a ton of regulars, be happy and stop pressuring them to write reviews.
"It's my experience that once they've reviewed me they seldom repeat. Why is this guys?"
I was under the impression that it was an unwritten policy that you are not supposed to submit multiple reviews of the same gal. Although some guys seem to have gotten away with it. Maybe it's not against the rules afterall.
Staff?

Surely that will be frowned upon by TER, no?

Panaflex, you can post a revised review of the same girl if there is NEW information on the next review. You will not get any VIP credit for doing so, however.
will see the lady again. Some hobbyists don't like to spread the word around and in doing so, made the lady more popular, her rate higher and harder to book appointments.
It may not have anything to do with you personally. A lot of guys are in this for the variety and once is enough. As long as they're writing positive reviews about you, consider it the best advertising you could get.
MOST of my clients don't write reviews. Most of them don't even know much about TER (can you imagine that???!!), nor care about it. They are busy gentleman with more things on their mind that playing a Review game. Maybe some guys don't care or want to take the time to know how to go about it. They would need to become a member, get a username, fill the thing out, then worry about what to say..all for what reason? Sometimes they might feel - what's in it for them? Maybe the computer thing is intimidating..maybe they have better things to do..
I'm sorry that's not helpful; it's just an explanation. Just do what you do well, take care of your clients and you'll eventually get them. Do you ask the gents how they heard about you? What was the resource? TER? If they don't answer TER, that gives you an idea right there..
I spend my times revealing the detail of encounters I paid for to help built up a lady's credential so that she would raise her rate drastically, or to allow other hobbyists who had offered little or no contribution recently to enjoy the fruit of my discovery or confirmation after thousands of dollars of expenses, sometimes with risks and frustrations.
Then again, after some deep breath, I would stop feeling jaded and remember the benefit I reaped from reviews of other members who labored through the same problems I encountered. It is in a way, a tribute to my fellow reviewers that I continue the search and reporting.
There are many mixed emotions behind whether to submit a review or not. Just resist the temptation to self post a review. TER has a near zero-tolerance policy about it. Many otherwise worthwhile ladies in LA have learned this tough lesson. Eventually, the words do get out. Just be patient.
Good luck.

I've never heard of ALL of a girl's regulars refusing to write reviews.
Good publicity though--Jessie probably got a ton of hits on her website today.
As a provider that nned more reviews you could DM the guys that do write reviews. Tell them how great you are and that you would love to spend some quality time with them based on the wonderful times they have had with other women. Can't hurt.
It is against TER policy to use PM for spam. I would imagine that self promotion in a PM would be frowned upon by Staff. A post such as her's has probably created enough interest in the guys that are willing to review her.
I'm guessing you meant that in the most innocuous sense, but please be careful if you openly discuss or even ask your clients to write a review. The risk in doing so is that the client might interpret the discussion or your request as an invitation to bargain, e.g., free extra, session, and nobody wins that game. If you don't acquiesce and decides to write a review, his opinion is, at least subconconsciously, skewed. He might even write an unfavorable but inaccurate review just out of spite. Neither case helps the provider. If, however, you "make a deal," he might write a favorable, but still inaccurate, review, which doesn't help the rest of us hobbyists.
Networking is probably the touchstone of developing clientele, so I'm not suggesting that a provider should not talk herself up. It's just a delicate issue that requires a delicate approach.
Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong.
FOR ALL THOSE WHO DONT UNDERSTAND. I STILL HAVE PEOPLE THAT ASK DO I HAVE REVIEWS AND I CANNOT TELL THEM "NO BUT I HAVE A SUFFICENT AMOUNT OF REGULARS" YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH BUSINESS!!! I TELL THE REGULARS THAT THEY WILL RECIEVE A DISCOUNT FOR WRITTING A REVIEW SIMPLY TO SHOW MY APPRECIATION.
Reviews are important for both the provider and hobbyist. I sure wish some of the ladies here in Boston would offer discounts for positive reviews!!!! I recently found myself in a quandry though--and this may in part account for your dilemma. I had my first "10" experience--combination GFE and PSE from a beautiful, sweet lady. She had NO previous reviews at all. I found myself asking--should I review her and potentially limit my future acess, or help her out because she is really trying hard to save some money to go back to school. I wrote a glowing review because she's such a doll. In terms of the reviews driving rates up. Here in Boston, most ladies will "grandfather" you in under the rate charged when you first met.
I think for a provider to offer a discount for writing a good review, or for a hobbyist to ask for a discount, defeats one of the major purposes of TER--to have unbiased, fair reviews.
On the whole I see nothing wrong with certain bartering, i.e., an accountant doing a provider's taxes in exchange for reduced sessions, but here at TER, bartering for a good review is inappropriate.
In fact, I think Staff should either remove all public posts of providers offering discounts for reviews, or have a response post saying TER does not condone the use of "paid" reviews.
reviews about them. It is up to individual TER hobbyist to mold the field and contribute as he sees fit.
I don't like the idea of getting discounts for writing reviews. With only a few exceptions, the ladies I met won't even know I am a TER member, let alone one who submits reviews.
I like to present an honest opinion what happened so that other members would have a realistic idea about their own experience with that lady. I don't want to be in a situation where others looked at me suspiciously because I got higher mileage due to the fact that a review is promised.
I'm not bribing TER members or my clients for that matter. I ask everyone I see to write a review, not just regulars. So that my reviews will be fair. A lot of people I see have never even heard of this so I inform to do it anyway. I don't tell them what to write.
i initially asked for no reviews. i finally decided that someone needs to hear something to let them know i'mn here. most i see are from down yonder. don't come back here every month. when i've asked...i actually just stated that if they choose to i would appreciate anything. having just had a moment..wink...hee hee...they state they will do me a great one. i simply tell them to be honedst...i don't get hurt feelers easy and i can't change my mistakes and get better if someon lies to me. she is correct...none of my regulars have reviewed. detail isn't needed...even if they can just thumbs up or down me. it's something.
I totally agree. So many times I heard, "I like reading reviews but I would not post." Please guys, this has become a big part of establishing our reputation. Even if you choose, be more vague on details. The numbers seem to be most important part. We girls are working our asses off, (pardon the bun) it so nice to see some reap of ours rewards.
Also keep in mind gentelmen, if you write terrific review (deserved of course) we will may show our appreciation the next time we meet!
Thank you,

In addition to some of the reasons you have already heard IMHO many hobbyists regard the writing of reviews to be almost a no win scenario for the hobbyist. First of all he recieves 15 days of credit for each review which probably works out to less than $8.50 an hour if he spends the time to do a proper review. If you look at many of the contact information sheets required by providers the hobbyist's TER handle is part of the required information. With that information a provider can check your reviews and posts to form an opinion about you. I guess the easy way around this would be to lie to the lady and say you have never heard of TER. Frankly I would not want to bother doing that. Even when it is not part of the screening requirements many hobbyists have told the lady their ter handle. In order to be published the juicy details need to be juicy enough to past muster. Many ladies complain about this information about their dates being made public. While some of the ladies will complain about the graphic details others will feel that if your reviews don't sound like something out of Penthouse then you did not enjoy yourself. Many ladies complain if they get less than a 9 or 10 in both appearance and performance. Unfortunately if the truth be known how many once in a lifetime experiences are there. So unless you give them 9 or 10's you may not be welcome back. I actually think 7's amd 8's are good marks. I actually had a provider tell me in a chatroom that she would not want to see me because my scoring on reviews were not all 9's and 10's. Frankly it is easier to just pay the $50 a quarter.
I am sure there are a few more good reasons but I can't think of any at the moment.
Personally at this point the only people I will review are new providers with very few reviews or when a date is significantly different than what others have said.

process is compromised. However, it can still be a source of valuable information if you know how to use it.
My suggestion would be for the people who run TER to do what they can to prevent attempted abuses by the providers. They need you more than you need them. TER is well-established now, and you are the ones who have the power.
those men who write fake reviews on the ladies in order to get a free membership? I am always hearing about those episodes.
agency ladies. My reviews are detail and honest. Given the entent of my visits, it is unavoidable that those agencies have pretty good ideas what my TER handle is.
I am not yet received any backlash from my 7 or 8 ratings or my constructive criticism of some ladies in my reviews. That might change in the future. When I submitted those reviews, I was prepared to suffer those consequences. This is also one of the reasons why I am reluctant to see some of the ladies I admired in TER boards.
This is not to say that I won't change my mind in the future if and when I am exposed to the effect of many rejections. However, I think there are enough talents out there for me not to be totally blacklisted even if someone attempts to do so.
