to add something to the conversation. But I'm also aware that my reviews, like so many guys with a lot of them, carry more weight for experienced guys. When I look at a providers reviews, once she's passed the would I see her stage, (looks/menu)
I'm looking first at her worst review on the front page. I don't read it first, I then open the link to the guy who wrote it. If he has a lot of reviews, 15+, that review is going to carry much more weight. (obviously, I take into account his scores, if every lady gets 9/9 or so, I'll discount his scores as well.) Guys with a few reviews mean nothing to me. They are more easily swayed by their lack of experience, just as I was at first. If he's experienced, with reasonable scores, I'll read the review. I'm also looking for guys I recognize, or guys who have seen one or more of the same providers I have. If he gave x a 8 performance and I did as well, that means that we might have similar tastes.
Do I write a review or not? Sometimes I don't. Unless it's obvious that the scores are incorrect, I always blame myself for my opinion. If a provider has all 9's and I thought she's a 7, I'll usually pass on writing the review. It isn't my business to effect her business in a negative way. If my feelings are accurate, It'll come out soon enough anyway, if not and she continues to get great scores, it was me. I know I've seen ladies that average 9+ on appearance and I felt they are plain looking. I've also seen ladies that averaged 7's and I thought they where a 9. I'll usually write those. I sometimes write them for the free days though I have enough of them now that it really isn't a big concern.
For well reviewed providers, which are most of my dates, I'll write one if she doesn't have a recent review, or for the free days. It isn't adding or subtracting from the conversation either way.
I know a lot of guys like to believe that the scores don't matter but for me they really do. I know they are inflated, or trend. (guy's often score the way others have already done so.) So for me, I try to stick to 8 or above, ladies that provide what I prefer and that fight in my budget. Of course there is some flexibility in all of that.. But I've had only a few dates with ladies I wouldn't see again, and even those dates where decent
