Why do so many providers, that are not inexpensive, ask not to be reviewed?  Or state they have a “no review policy”.
I have seen several since Covid and they are who they are and they perform as they say.  

They don't like reviews and don't see them as a benefit. It can be hard enough hooking up with someone you aren't really attracted to. Its even less fun if the guy starts talking shit after the fact. Its not fun having some fat, bald ugly dude write a bunch of paragraphs critiquing your looks and sexual performance. It isn't exactly a good idea to have a written record of your illegal activity either. Some review sites/boards refuse to take down old reviews as well. Finally, reviewers and review boards have a bad reputation as being some of the worst and most demanding clients. Many posters on this board are probably unpleasant to be around.

The numerous reasons providers have for a "no review policy" have been discussed here for years. You might try doing a search.

Maybe they don’t want to have to constantly work to verify the reviews are legit. If they’re reasonable I bet they see lots of traffic. No need for reviews if your affordable & convenient because your going to get business regardless. Many providers delist theirselves.

Usually the ones who want them are trying to get established. I had one tell me she didn’t care what was said in the review. She just wanted 10s to keep her position high.

They don't need them.

I agree with Robert, they don't need them or want them.

Do they report you to the "no-review" police or sue you in civil court for breach of an oral contract, or in some instances, breach of an oral oral contract?  

No, TER won't post it if the Provider has delisted herself.   Which is what has happened to me when I submitted a few reviews without knowing the Provider had been delisted.  

Other sites have different policies and will sometimes refuse to delete posts or reviews. Also, I have noticed providers that have no review policies but keep a TER profile up. CDL was probably joking. He does have a point though, if you post a review the provider probably has limited recourse. However there are a few negative consequences I can think of. The provider will personally black list you and might put you on blast through certain back channels and BLs. The provider could decide to retaliate and go nuclear. They could burn you on social media and post information about you. The provider could start looking you up and contacting friends/family. It all depends on the situation and people involved but breaking a no review policy is likely to kick up a hornets nest. It probably isn't worth breaking a no-review policy unless something egregious occurred.

This is all so interesting--but my hot take? Trying to get "10s" for everything is tantamount to false advertising. There is tremendous idiosyncratic variation in how people score an inherently qualitative experience quantitatively, notwithstanding TER's delineating heuristic for 7+ scores.

I'm sure it's been said before, but I think many, not all, do not want to be held accountable for providing bad service.

It would be nice if there was an in between option. I understand why some providers don’t want detailed TER reviews. Unfortunately, that leaves their legitimacy a mystery, unless you have or figure out some other way to confirm them.  

A review, if honest, is basically a checklist of services provided spiced up with narrative to set the scene. Providers may decide, for one reason or another, not to provide a particular service to a particular client. Everything is YMMV. If a client doesn’t get a service that other’s did, he potentially will write an embellished poor review. Why would a provider want it “out there” that she did  “X” with a client when other clients will look at it as guarantee of the same service…when it is not?  

Most women just find them vulgar, and as a few have told me, don't want clients coming in expecting certain things i.e., a bbbj when they have questionable hygiene/health because said client read about it in a review.

....Penthouse Forum was a widely popular part of the magazine and enjoyed by both sexes.  They were just stories and never about a person or people who were easily identified.  Some guys write to satisfy their own ego or like they are trying to get published and some guys write glowing details to let others know how great the experience was.  I think there's more than a few dudes in here that write reviews on women they've never met just to pretend to be in the game.  It's likely that there some writing reviews that have never even been with a woman.  

I know one girl who does this part time and doesn't want the attention.  She has a job that she doesn't want finding out she escorts on the side.

Would a girl friend like it if you gave her a review and offered all the intimate details to your friends?

I recently saw a provider who is a an absolute STRICT NO REVIEW provider.  She states in her numerous listings on various escort websites that she is "Very Open minded" but refuses to list "services" she will or won't perform because she says, she does not decide before a date what will or won't happen.  I found out the hard way that she decides this solely based on whether she is physically attracted to the client.  It was tough because she told me on our last date she would not do "X, Y & Z", but I also KNEW for a fact that she does do "X, Y and Z", so it was basically she did not find me attractive enough to do these things.  So, if she had also allowed reviews, guess what my reviews would have said and included?   Do you see how this works?    Reviews can work for both the client and the provider, but they usually benefit the client somewhat more.    The bottom line is independent sex workers can be cold and heartless sometimes, even though many providers romanticize their work as some sort of healers.   I can't and won't identify this provider publicly but I will in private one on one discussions with other people.

This is why I typically do not see providers who aren't reviewed. If they are not GFE I'm not interested. I'm not interested in wasting my money trying to find out if they are or not. I'd like to know what I'm going into.

As a long time provider I will say that me doing X, Y, and Z in a session has 100% to do with your hygiene and zero to do with me being attracted to you. I have also had guys say that I ask for a selfie to determine if the guy is "hot enough" to see. Also false. You are welcome to read all of my reviews, but if you think you are going to come in with plaque buildup from not going to the dentist since pre covid and also having obvious dental decay, pubic hair so long I have to part it to find your wanker, and a smelly ass and balls from not actually scrubbing your crouch area with a bar of soap properly since you were in diapers and your mother did it, you are going to be very, very disappointed that X, Y or Z are not going to happen and you will be getting a very overpriced hand job only. And you have just described exactly why a lot of providers no longer allow reviews. Entitled men come in thinking that "she did that with Bob, she will do that with me also!!" Not so. You should go into every session with the idea that it will always be YMMV, and much of that is dependent on you as the client. You are paying for a service, that is the bottom line, no more, no less. Your personality, cleanliness, and attitude will give you the best session possible with the majority of providers.

So you've seen her more than once then?

Your reasons make sense. If the guys is smell, not groomed well, or unpleasant in other ways, I get it. As a guy who is none of those things, I will also say the OP isn’t wrong though. I have been on both ends too.  

Also the most I ever paid for a FBSM, and with possibly the sexiest woman I’ve ever seen in my life, but the experience was dreadful. I’m sure other providers have other reasons they don’t want reviews, but for the one I saw it was definitely because they all would have been one star. It was so bad I couldn’t stop laughing as I was getting dressed.

...then she might like the sales support.

And this is the concern. Without validation, you can get blind sided.

OK, so I think maybe your first problem would be that you are under the assumption because you are paying that an escort is obligated to do certain things. That is NEVER the case. A sex worker can refuse service at any time for any reason. Simple as that. From the wording of your post you feel disgruntled because you are no longer a "young stud" and have to pay, whereas you feel that when you were 20 or 30 years younger you would never had to pay and you think this is unfair. You think you are entitled to certain things sexually, emotionally, or physically because you are paying. You very well may be very clean and an okay looking guy, but it seems you need to reevaluate how you view this industry and sex workers in general. You are with a human being, regardless if you are paying for their time or not. It is your personality and perception of sex workers that is off that is causing this riff, not this idea in your mind that you are no longer a "young stud" and that  must be causing all of your sexual and relationship problems.

I agree 100% with everything people have said regarding Hygiene and the whole importance of personality and attitude and courtesy etc.  I can unequivocally say my hygiene is never in question, I always take a very long bath before seeing any provider, I literally soak for an hour or more in a bubble bath, let the water out, refill the tub and soak for another half hour to essentially rinse.  I am clean enough for surgery before every date.  And yes I had seen this provider several times prior to the last awkward unfortunate date.  During the last date I did not make an issue about things happening or not happening when I was in front of the provider, but I was stung and felt really foolish as the provider lied through her teeth about what she did and did not do.  She wasn't a good liar, let's put it that way.    Don't get me wrong I'm not going to slit my wrists because I couldn't do X, Y & Z but it was just a depressing reminder this is strictly a business and ymmv.  I guess that's the part that always eats me up, this is a business and yet it involves the most intimate aspects of human relationships, intimacy and behavior.  I have a hard time separating and compartmentalizing them like so many others can.  

I mean soaking in a bubble bath might not be efficient and leave residue behind. Plus, are you scrubbing in all areas and getting a proper rinse by soaking again? I think a regular 15 minute shower, where you scrub certain areas and rinse them, usually works fine.

I have made here on several occasions that the risk increases substantially when we see providers that do not have a profile on TER.   In my observations over the 17 years I have been here, delisting is most often a provider running away from poor reviews, and I'm not one to accept risks that are the result of concealment of a provider's history.  There are more providers than I will ever be able to see in my remaining lifetime, so there are NO individual providers that I feel I absolutely HAVE to see, and lack of a TER presence is one of those risks I don't need to take.

I have often made about limiting the amount of personal information you give to a provider to ZERO.  I agree with your assessment of everything bad that could happen if you piss a provider off.  I don't use my TER username, nor any aliases I have reviews under to get an appointment.  The only information a provider or an agency gets from me when booking an appointment is my first name and the same burner phone number I have used for hobbying since the beginning.  

Mr_Clean_Jones provided a great insight when he said "The bottom line is independent sex workers can be cold and heartless sometimes, even though many providers romanticize their work as some sort of healers." I don't understand why this isn't immediately obvious to more guys. I understand we share tender, intimate moments with these providers but we have to understand it isn't real life. I know there are a few naive white-knights who insist for them things are different, but we should all remember these providers are only spending time with us for our money. They are not our friends, lovers or healers regardless of what their ads say. I know lots of providers will chime in and say "You don't have to wowwy about me, the meek and feeble independent pwovider I swear I won't hurt you pwease twust me with your ID." I'm sure 95%-99% of times its true, girls just want to get their money and move on. However, all it takes is one person to fuck shit up. I used to be naive and buy into the marketing bullshit. I realize now I have to be more careful and protect myself. I only see providers that have skin in the game. Anyone can throw an add up on tryst for free, the only providers worth my time and money will have reviews on TER.

There are definitely providers that pick and choose clients based on their looks. I also believe it is 100% their choice. People engaged in commerce are allowed to turn down any business opportunity for whatever reason. Some providers are pretty vocal about being YMMV and some even say it is the reason why they went with a no review policy. I can't even blame them either. Would you really want to do butt stuff with an uncaring guy who is a little too rough? It becomes a matter of safety at some point. Like the earlier poster, I've been on both sides of the YMMV divide. It sucks when it happens but guys have to be better at taking the L and dealing with rejection. I think it helps to temper expectations when engaging in this sort of stuff.

You really took what I said, ran a mile in the wrong direction, and made a LOT of assumptions. The fact you used "seem" quite a bit is the first tell. Things are not always what they seem, and you're best not to assume them because you think they seem such and such way. Asking is fine, because that can help clear the air. But you didn't ask, you ran a marathon of assumptions.

Feel better now?

"Some review sites/boards refuse to take down old reviews as well."

There are plenty of businesses that require employees, customers or vendors to sign non-disclosure agreements. When a provider says they have a no-review policy, it is just a form of NDA they have. This is something that has precedence in the real world. You don't have to like it, but also you don't have to book these providers. End of story, peace out.

"Once I bought and paid for something, I have the right to talk about it and review it anywhere I want. It's not up to the seller anymore, ever." You do realize that isn't even true on THIS site, right?

That wouldn't hold up for a restaurant wanting no reviews and it wouldn't hold up in this world. It's already been discussed that NDAs aren't valid for illegal activities, even if a "no review policy" was an NDA.

In fact, NO contract is valid if it involves activities that are against the law.  Can you imagine somebody suing in court because the cartel shorted their fentanyl delivery?  Lol    Because providers and agencies in general make it relatively easy to participate in this biz, many mongers forget that it is also illegal.  Those that have been in, or near to, an LE bust are much more realistic about the consequences should they become careless or lax in their vigilance.  

Its called a metaphor SHEESH you are annoying. NDAs aren't valid for illegal activities, sure. I'm sure a no-review policy wouldn't fly in court. However if you break it I'm sure you'll love dealing with the consequences. At least you won't get sued lmao. I mean yea, this is an illegal activity so we can't compare it to regular world situations. However, you and rocket are the ones comparing restaurant reviews to escort reviews. Either way, it is useless because on this site, no review policies are respected and do have weight. TER will remove profiles upon request. Also a moot point, because I doubt most guys on this board have the balls to break a no review policy.  
.
Also helpful hint, it might help to stop thinking about this like purchasing an electronics product or a fast food burger. You are paying for a service, not a product. Its a subtle difference that can shift your thinking.

Of course I heard of an NDA. A NDA is a written, legal agreement using your actual real world info. What's the last time you signed some thing by an escort? What's the last time you signed a nda to eat at a restaurant?  

It is true,and I believe it is true on this site.  

Actually, if a provider is delisted and you name her on the forum, the post will be taken down. Only way it stays is if no one figures it out or brings it up. Likely, the provider finds out though and has it taken down.

I would have prefered that after I started by saying "Your reasons make sense," that the outcome wasn't you attacking my character and then me having to defend myself. Nothing about that type of exchange feels good.

That doesn’t make it true. It was YOU that said you could review a provider anywhere you want and that the girl had no say. Here on TER, a girl has TOTAL say if she will allow reviews or not.  
.
The rules re: this are well established and it is a bit shocking you dont know them. Just take the “L” here and move on but my guess is you will respond with a double helping of word salad.

Sometimes clients don't write reviews. I have yet to get one. Decided to hop on here and make my own profile. Seems like clients aren't writing reviews as much as before since I have friends who have them and get one once in a blue moon.

"You are paying for a service, not a product."

I wouldn't be able to comment on any NDAs I have or haven't signed. That being said.... There was a weed dealer in college who would cut people off if they told other people where they got their weed from. He had the best weed on campus too. He was pretty paranoid and only wanted to sell to a few people to keep a low profile. So, I probably wouldn't sign an NDA with a Doctor in most circumstances. That being said in college, and in a few other times in life, I've been asked to keep my mouth shut.

Did he advertise his, ahem, dealer services online? I will assume not.  

Yeah, I learned this the hard way.  

You feel that way because you know a lot of what I said was correct. The truth always hurts. Anyone that spends that much "defending" themself is just lying to themselves. The majority of what I posted was just reflecting back what you had said. I have not yet completed by PhD but I thoroughly thank all of the textbook mental disorders I can write about that are spilling from this website. Thanks guys!!

It tells me she doesn't want reviews lol. Are we going to keep going in circles here? We get it, you think its morally wrong for providers to have a no review policy. As discussed, this is one of the few review boards that respects and honors no review policies and allows providers to de-list. There is nothing stopping you from writing a review on some other site anyway. Keep in mind the provider is the one "enforcing" a policy in anyway they think is appropriate.  
.
I think most guys on this board agree with you to some extent. It is crazy to demand deposits and PI while discouraging reviews. I've noticed providers with active TER providers advertising a no review policy. I just disagree with the whole morale charade you put on. I think some providers have ridiculous policies but I also recognize they're allowed to set their own terms. If you don't like what a provider is offering then don't book them. Most guys are on this site for that reason.

There's me who wishes more guys would  write reviews  on us

one of the few thinks all of the mongers here might agree on.   I have often said the same thing . . . . Everybody who has never had an issue or been strongarmed by a provider because she had his ID will argue to the last breath that giving it to them is no big deal.  Then the first time they get burned, they start a thread here asking those that KNOW better than to give up their ID's what they should do about the provider harassing or doxing them.  As the saying goes, "Too little (concern), too late."

I know a  provider that  gives "incentives"  (discounts) to write a review.  With regulars she has the client login, writes the review and posts it.  Sometimes she has the client write the review then send it to her for "editing". To make sure all the buzzwords (especially anal) are covered so she gets a 10 out of 10.  Every one of her reviews is 10 out of 10.  Really?
Reviews are an advertising scam.

No, but more assumptions from you is not surprising. I feel that way because I don't look to have petty arguments. I agreed with your points. I offerred counter points as well. And, some how I struck a cord with you and you felt the need to insult me with a bunch of false assumptions.  

Just had to ask how a Trump reference possibly made it into that post?  

You’re not wrong. I may be a little politically obsessed these days. It’s a personal situation that I felt was comparative. Obviously, for someone not frustrated with the current political landscape, it won’t mean the same thing.

Who knows? Once you see someone go in that direction it’s just better to disengage with them. They obviously have stability issues.

Many providers have spent the last 5-8 years aggressively discouraging clients from writing reviews. It worked for a lot of them because they had reviews and reputations already. You can thank your fellow providers for pulling up the ladder.

You seem to unraveling a bit here. So sorry I hurt you feelings and best of luck to you in life bud.

Stability issues? Lol. It’s like stupid likes to
Join in on stupid.

Once again giving yourself too much credit. My feelings are intact. I just can’t help but to call your stupidity out.

Yes, of course your feelings are intact. That is why you posted 13 paragraphs, to show us how intact your feelings are!

It's like the attraction to stupiduty keeps adding more of you. This is a forum on a fuck board for crying out loud. Do you come here to have your feelings validated or invalidated? Gosh, I hope not, because that would be sad.

of the review rules on TER.  Having a provider edit a review to be submitted by the reviewer can get the provider delisted for cause, and the reviewer banned.  Giving discounts for reviews got a whole agency banned from TER a few years ago.  The profiles and all of the reviews for every provider who worked there were taken down.  

As CDL notes, what you describe is a clear violation of TER policies. Clearly the provider you know thinks the reviews are of value and working to manipulate them to her favor. Why are you not naming her and reporting that to TER?

Mine also. She was so bad I think she did it on purpose to end the date lol. But on the other hand I ended up finding a regular who had no reviews and she is sweet and utr. Would have never found her if I didn’t give her a chance. She ended up not liking the business.

Shocked. Shocked, I say.

I actually counted 21, but he does number all of his points and also has an into paragraph and summary for each post. Quite time consuming and impressive measures to ensure we all know this has nothing to do with his bruised ego! Bravo!

I have come across a few providers that tried to do this as well. I imagine there is a lot more of this than some realize. The more savvy ones also know better than to ask for 10s for every review too.

She uses them to keep herself in the top ten in the country, and #1 in her home city.

I'll gladly take an L if I'm wrong. Everyone takes Ls.

Because isnt it convenient as fuck to have your cake and eat it too. Use the internet to advertise yourself and then guard yourself against negative reviews/criticism. Get the best of both worlds!  

As per his MO. He takes extreme opinions and demands the readers here accept them as fact.

Wait a minute. I figured it out. I know what struck a cord with you and caused you to be an ass to me. You were mad that I said I'm good looking and seek younger providers who are even better looking. Two things that you are not. Once you realized I would never be your customer, you dumped all of your bottled up depression on me. That must be hard, holding all of that in and waiting for someone like me to take it out on. I suggest you take your personal issues to your therapist. If you don't have one, get one. They are a much better source for depression issues.

Thank you for the added context. I was having a hard time making sense of Rocket's post, but from what you say it seems like the situation was resolved pretty effectively by the TER mods.

Once again cks shows he doesn't have a clue about anything he's talking about

Me?? Trolling??? What?!? LOL  
I will need to work on being less obvious next time....
xoxo

OMG. You got me!! You are correct. Even with you posting from an alias I could just tell you are a magically dreamy man that is way out of my league. I am so honored that you even took the time to respond to my posts. I was so much hoping that there would be a sliver of a chance that you would see me. Ug, damn it!!  Thank you so much for taking the time to point out all of my very obvious issues that I need to get addressed. You have guided me in the right direction. Thank you again friend!!

Cks referenced some other instance I have no recollection of. Because cks is so smart he assumes he reads my thoughts.

LOL, another Trumper here but you've got plenty of crazy on your side of the isle!  That's not why I jumped in though.  I've had my bouts with some pretty crazy providers as well.  This one your tangling with won't let go because she must get the last word in...always.

You damn well understand what I mean. Internet is already very robust in keeping information intact with archiving and so on.  

You're right, there is crazy on both sides. I really shouldn't have made a political reference. That was a can of worms I didn't want to open.

What constitutes an actual "REVIEW", versus simply posting a (very) short personal "Opinion" of a provider who has a no review policy?
