It always makes me mad when somebody says something rude in a review that I don’t think I deserve. I recently had somebody say my dog is annoying. My sweet little reason for living never does anything wrong (okay, not much)!  Another person gave me a low score because he believes I faked an orgasm, and someone else said that I don’t kiss enough.  I have never been accused of not kissing enough!  

I can only speak as a hobbyist, but I am aware of the impact of a bad review on a provider.

I think like anything TER can be used as a tool. Especially if you are starting out and try to make a good reputation. Now just say you put some time in. You know what sites or social platforms gets you your clients. If you feel you no longer need TER then leave it behind and use the sites you know that have been good to you. Is it great to know what other think of your service, of course but I found I'm always looking for a unicorn, which has been a long search, hence not everyone is going to be super happy because expectation is high in their mind.  

If 4 or 5 reviewers in a row.. Basically say the same thing.. that's a trend.. a bunch if great reviews and one less than great.. take that one with grain of salt. I ignore it.
I also am very aware of what a bad review might do to a providers business.  There are ways of saying things that don't  sound awful, but yet are honest.

If you have a problem with the last 2 reviews, you're way too sensitive.

a TER review average of 9.09 through 250+ reviews, so why are you worried about the occasional bad review?  This is not a team sport, it's highly individual. No provider connects with EVERY customer.  

That's actually a great idea - asking a gentleman what 3 things he most wants during the session. Though I'm really good at figuring out what each gentleman wants and bringing out his devilish side.  

You have many, many hobbyists claiming in their reviews that you are a very special lady.  TER even rates you very high in appearance/performance.

It seems the advice you’re getting from the reviewers here follows two paths.  First, there are those pointing out how highly reviewed you are and encouraging you not to let the occasional bad review bother you. Then there are those who come off as more critical and suggesting if reviews bother you, then you need to get out of the business completely.  The latter isn’t really true because you can always stay in the business, but as a delisted provider.

...I tend to look for trending agreements among them.

I have been in this hobby a long time. The current bout of delisting is not new. I can appreciate that this is frustrating for you. I have a feeling that a lot of sensitivity has gone out the window after 2 years of Covid... we are seeing this throughout society, and also in reviews of all types. You can't let a single bad review bother you. The alternative is delisting, and I can guarantee that you will then see far less (likely near zero) new clients if you make this decision.  

Apparently you haven't been around that long. Going back 20 years or so there were reviews that were brutal, yet funny.
I swear some the reviewers had to be Hollywood sitcom writer, funny but brutal.

I really don't get this. Some people think any dog is annoying. Some people, for example I know a couple in my family - think ANY pet is annoying regardless of how they actually behave.

Personally, if I look through a lady's reviews and I see one that's so-so once in a while then I ignore those if her others look like yours and are outstanding.  

Many, many once prominent ladies delisted here and found great success generating new clients by other means i.e. social media platforms, other sites, etc.

And some that are not very active  that had not delisted just had a new review and their inbox activity increased significantly. One asked me to send her some VIP days to help her research clients and other providers due to the increased activity .
This site is still advertising and helps those who look like their pictures  and deliver as promised.

How in the heck would you know who has had great success or not, and especially, why or how or how many? Do you have some crystal ball or do you believe all you read on Twitter?

providers on social media is that they talk amongst themselves publicly like their customers are in the next county and can't hear them.  Many a lady that I might have considered seeing have taken themselves out of the running for my hard-won dollars by saying things that expose how they truly feel about their customers.  Men come to this game for a fantasy, not for reality, and when the ladies on social media start getting a little to real, it turns a lot of us off from seeing them.  

I wont tell any lady how to run their business, that's completely up to them and I'll respect their rules but I'm with the other guys here in saying you are off-base, maybe greatly so.

I agree and feel the same way as BigBoyPants. To put it simply, I don’t look at escorts on Twitter to begin with. If their only presence is on Twitter or Switter (does that still exist?), I’ll never know about them. Same if a provider delists here. I will simply assume they retired, and move on.

Perhaps, but unless you are auditing her books, you also have no idea either.

I love dogs! But I remember a visit to an incall long ago. I was concerned that her rather and seemingly protective large dog was going to bite me in the ass.  

hump your leg to completion and he will go take a nap while you enjoy the provider.  Problem solved.  Lol

In this business?

Incessant groveling?  

You are absolutely right and you hit the nail on the head.

I don’t know but you do?  

money to see a provider do . . . . they please themselves.   Lol

Would you agree that a woman needs to have a special thick skin in this business then?  Why do you suppose that might be?

Thanks for all of the feedback.  Most of what you guys said was wise, true, and respectfully written.  

I was more concerned that he would bite off the only bone I had.  

a dog that was quiet and I didn't know was in the apartment come up behind me and lick my ass while I was fucking his owner.  I told her that her dog was licking my ass, and I hope I wasn't going to be charged for a double.  She started laughing so hard, the contractions pushed my dick out of her pussy and we had to wait until she regained her composure and start over.

Thanks for clarifying.  I picked up on your intent in your first post, but it was kind of vague.  

First of all, much respect for not throwing anyone under the bus.  

having a "thick skin" as it is about understanding that reviews are not personal and they are not about you as a person.  They are about the fantasy personna you create during a session.  I have found that the providers I have become friends with in real life are often markedly different than they are when working in their professional capacity.  The woman men are reviewing is the one you CREATE to fulfill their fantasies.  not the one that YOU see in the mirror at home.  In other words, there are TWO versions of you, the real one and the fake one.  The fake one is getting the reviews, so why care about they say because it's not the real you?

I would say that if you are going to be evaluated, you will have some people that like you and some people that don't!
Pretty simple!

I wrote that after reading a thread between several providers on Twitter that said exactly the same thing.  

A-freaking-men bro!

Very nicely put.  That's a persepective I hadn't thought of.

Hard as it may be, it seems that some compartmentalization is required here.

I cannot add much in general terms that is any better said or suggested than what has been posted thus far.

actors should never get upset by a negative review, because their “fake” persona was reviewed.  So why should they care?  And I suppose they shouldn’t get too pleased about positive reviews of their “fake” persona either.

in the mirror in the morning is before the theatrical makeup goes on that turns them into a fantasy girl.   So, it's NOT the same person appearance-wise that the customer sees.  Heavy makeup is intended to hide the real person and substitute the fake person in her place?  I have dated a ton of providers OTC on the outside, and they do not present themselves the same way they do at a session as far as appearance.  Even if they do apply makeup for a real-life date, it's much more subdued, but you wouldn't know that if you haven't done it, so I'll give you a pass on your naivete.  If you're paying for their time on the outside date, then it's still a session, and you will get the fantasy girl look. That's what the reviewers review when it comes to appearance, because the session is the only place they saw them.  

You never said above that the provider was looking in the mirror sans makeup. (Not so) nice dodge.

keep reading the sentence.  It says "in the morning."  Unless they are doing an overnight paid session, the providers I know remove their makeup before they go to bed and then . . . . . . . . . wait for it . . . . . . . . they are not wearing makeup in the morning!!  Was surprised to hear you couldn't connect the dots yourself when I led with that.  My point was that they wear MORE makeup while working than they do when they are not working.  Of course it will vary from girl to girl, but the constant is that it will be more while working.  So the word, "heavy" is fluid, and relative to the makeup each girl wears (if any) when they are NOT working.   Are you really this dense in real life, or is it just your alias?  Lol

You said: “… not the one that YOU see in the mirror at home.“

I sure agree that if we get a review we should be able to reply a feedback as well.  A guy can review and get away with what they say. I once tried telling customer service that I never saw this guy " Frank". They won't take his review  off

Too say “in the morning” when I first brought it up. You’re probably reading the wrong post. I’m not saying any of the things you are speculating about.  I said what I said, and nothing more. Is English not your native language?  Now you’re just embarrassing yourself by saying I did not say “in the morning” when everyone else sees it.  It was a qualified statement which I sat and by.

Cdl loves to cling to non-important bullshit. So do I lol  I do know a fellow argumentative fuck when I see it.  

that CDL will swear up and down about what he said, yet his posts are there to let us know he’s living in some alternate universe where people can’t read what he posted.  Then he insults others because they had the audacity to call him on his BS.  But I’ll give him credit for being consistent… even though he’s consistently wrong.  

Yep, harsh review,  but how do you KNOW that you never met him?

that you are not smart enough to find it on THIS thread.  It's at the very beginning starting with the headline.  You are such a moron.

“A man hopelessly lost… in the Twilight Zone.”

I won't repeat some of the excellent observations that have come before.  But fwiw, my $0.02...

Could hardly agree more. Just because we're on a fuck board doesn't mean we can't be humane.  

You base your whole point on what I did NOT say in the first post, then when I further clarified it, you still doubled down.  That's what trolls do.  You like to say how much experience you have to know this biz, but you have no reviews under your alias, a common ploy here that lurkers use to hide their own lack of experience.  Why are you hiding?  Providers put their makeup on before the first customer of the day, and that could be anytime.  It could be an hour after they got up with no make-up on, or it could be six hours.  That was the point that you wanted to ignore by doing your little tap dance.  It's rare to see this kind of intellectual dishonesty here except among the trolls.  Glad you have outed yourself.  Now others know to ignore your bullshit rantings. If you want to have cred here, how about a few reviews under this alias so we know you are a real monger and some bullshit lurker.  You like to point out what we DON'T know, and we know nothing about whether you have seen even one provider.  The kind of shit you post is generalized stuff you can get from reading TER boards.  It doesn't establish that you have ANY personal experience whatsoever.

Bc he said he write a review and he didn't promise his time.  I said I had given up my Airbnb he was late.  He said you see a nice review.  Not even a week a cut and paste review was posted

Guys just remember some this provider do have family to feed. If you didn't like the woman when you get in the door. You can leave than stay the entire date than complain.  

Um.... so you did see the guy?

No, she didn’t see Frank. They tried to meet up, timing didn’t work out, Frank wrote a fake review.

Thanks for translating.

This is a fascinating topic. I have very strong opinions that may take the conversation in a different direction.  

Thanks!  

Thank you so much for offering some public support. I appreciate it. I enjoy my private time with you so much!  I hope we will have a chance to do it again soon.

I think most fake reviews are just to get free VIP time here at TER.  There are always people trying to game the system.

They do put it there on occasion and then TER takes the work or the guy writing the fake they remove that notation. Most providers have given up fighting fakes( even good ones) which forces them to liv with it or delist.
