I rejoined TER so I could see reviews of the body rub girls I was thinking about.  

Without a detailed profile and review(s), a client has ZERO assurance what services he is paying hundreds (or thousands) of dollars for. With a TER profile and review(s), a client knows exactly what to expect and can book with "Assurance".

someone I know well, then I don't bother to take the chance.

Reviews are very important.  I understand many companions do not like them.  But how else can clients make informed decisions?  It's that simple.  Of course we do not want to get ripped off, but just as importantly, some common sense vetting ahead of time helps assure it is a positive experience for both client and companion.  

No reviews no see me!

a lady with no reviews is if her services are being offered through a reputable agency that I have used before.  

When I'm booking a hour or longer gfe session I only book with ladies who have [1] multiple positive TER reviews from solid reviewers (gents who have a long and diverse review history), or [2] a single positive TER review from a gent whose reviews I've relied on before with good results.
.
When I'm booking a QV or bng session I occasionally take chances on non-TER reviewed providers if they're super convenient to my location and have a solid posting history in that area, or if they have positive reviews on another site. I've been burned a couple times doing this but it's usually a very low donation so I'm not that worried about it.

I don't care how long a provider has been in the business, if they don't have a current review history showing consistency in appearance, performance, and service, I will not even think about booking them.

We really don't want to waste our money, and time, with a situation that has no possibility of taking care or what we are looking for.  (Whatever that is).  So a review gives the reader at least an idea of the possibilities.  You can tell a good reviewer from a bad reviewer, the track record usually speaks for itself.  So I don't think that an awesome provider getting a bad review is necessarily a terrible thing.  It's when many reviews talk about the same issues that things get difficult.  

95% of my sessions are with providers with 10+ reviews, preferably 20! This is enough to throw out shills, and other related reviews and get a realistic sense of the provider’s personality, menu, body type and general sexiness. I risk low reviewed sessions based on advice of a few bookers or other trusted sources.

Would you buy a $500 - $1500 item online without reading a few reviews on it ?

When a guy is searching for a provider, he'll peruse the TER profiles for someone who meets the criteria he's looking for.   If she does, he'll check out her reviews.  Therefore, it's very important that a provider's TER profile be accurate so he doesn't go on a wild goose chase.  

First to establish legitimacy. I like to see that a lady has met at least a couple of players with multiple reviews. A lady with one review by a one-time reviewer? Nah.

There are some websites where you can afford to TOFTT.  But when you get to car payment territory (400 and up) I will not see a provider if she doesn't have TER reviews.  I'm not a high roller, but nobody wants to get ripped off, and it seems to be alot of that going around these days.  For example, there is what I consider a top tier provider that advertises and she also has reviews, however her reviews indicate that the client is only allowed to pop once during sex, a second pop is allowed but only through masturbation.  That's a hard no for me, for 1K plus, that is something that is definitely something that I need to know before making that decision. That being said, it's not just simply that she has reviews, but the quality of her reviews.

I've found that I depend on reviews, but only from certain reviewers.  I scheduled  a visit with a provider who was given mostly 7s and 8s, and based my decision to see her based on those reviews.  She opened the door and I'm looking at a  woman of 60 plus years old with bad teeth. I no longer trust the reviews of people that gave her high numbers.  I reviewed that provider here after the visit, but it was taken down after she complained.  There was nothing nasty about my review, just described what I saw.  

Reviews are imperative.  I don't necessarily need a blow-by-blow (no pun intended) description of appointments, but I do want to know that I'm not going to be ripped-off.

....like accuracy of her photos, promptness, ease of booking, reliability. Stuff like that. Performance isn't applicable to me so I don't care about that.

I, personally, dislike leaving reviews about intimate acts behind closed doors.
That's why I don't go into graphic detail, and use the flowery euphemisms popular in '70 romance novels ..

Not taking one for the team.

Reviews got me to try this "hobby".

Providers insist on screening us, reviews are our way of screening them. I don't see anyone unless they are reviewed on TER.

I do a lot of recon before I book with an provider I haven't seen before.  The risks of not doing recon are simply too high and the most available recon are her reviews, from multiple sources.  I don't want to get ripped off, walk into a sting, be disappointed that her ads describe activities that aren't available or are activities that she asks an up-charge for, etc.

I've been on this site since 2014. I think the most important thing is the ADs that the Providers put in. All ADs should include the providers availability,  prices & services.  And as far as Prices go.....Hobbyists should accept the prices. The cost of a Motel/Hotel is expensive and a Providers time is extremely valuable.

You are listening to the majority on a review board, hence, pro-reviewers and a one-sided answer.  

And the rest aren't that great either. Not to mention she's got it ass-backwards when she thinks ads are more important than reviews.
Earth to Kitty: TER is a review site.

I had one bad review because the person who gave me that review said that if I did not do what he wanted (Which was fuck him for FREE & Do other things that I do not do then he'd give me a bad review). So I told him to go ahead because I do not fuck for free and only do what is stated. So any asshole that wants to believe that 1 review then that person is a cheap ass mother fucker.

The providers charge what they do because of what they are willing offer as far as services. I do not offer that much and I know that I am not the hottest female on here.

I also said the rest of your reviews weren't that great. Perhaps that's why you're so angry all the time? I also made some other points that you have failed to rebut.

What about providers that perhaps had retired and came out of retirement like myself. My personal life situation has changed etc. Therefore I do not have any current reviews. I am a low volume provider and there is a site I started posting on that has nothing but fake reviews of me recently, I have wrote and asked numerous times for them to be removed to no avail. Then there are ppl that I have actually seen and said they would review me here or elsewhere and dont. I know I provide excellence it's just a matter also of getting back acclimated.

1000000% This policy has kept me safe for well over a decade.

I'd say bank account and discretionary income factors more into that.  Us broke folk just want to ensure that we're not getting ripped off, at least I do.  I'm sure there are a lot of folks out there that won't hesitate to drop 1k for 1 pop and a bad attitude, I'm not one of them.  I'd rather visit a lady with a solid reputation and leave the session walking on air than thinking "why didn't I do more research".  

My best visits have come with providers that have current and reviews with guys that do reviews with their experiences. If I have a review of a lady it’s because they have been a great provider! I don’t take chances, as Experience is best. If they have several reviews with reviewers with only the one review ten I think they are made up. With the same ruling play, sometimes a provider that has some bad reviews they can be made up by those that are trying to sabotage that person so typically I can see through those. We have a buyer beware rule.

Today I saw an independent massage provider with no TER reviews and only one mention on another site. I knew she wasn't a rob and I didn't have a specific service need. I went in open minded.  Had a good time and might go back.  

Do you think having an onlyfans helps as an additional way for you to figure out the experience you will get?  Or do you use that at all?

I initially joined OF out of curiosity but providers I was lined up to see had already gone through my own box checking process.  AFTER that, if they had an OF account, I might join to get more familiar with how they look or perform.  Could be just me but there's a lot of disappointment with some of the content (or lack of) in certain cases.  You can see a number of posts before joining but what's posted is another thing.  I think titties under a wet t-shirt is always cool to see but 88 of them in a row is less than exciting.

...your pics are wonderful, almost to good to be true.  We see that quite a lot.  After seeing your reviews, there's not a doubt in my mind about trying to line up a date.

let me know;  1) She is NOT LE,  2) Her rate,  3) the services she provides, 4) that she is not a flake,  5) that if she offers incall, outcall, or both and 6) where she is located or tours.

I will say I have never looked at/subscribed to any companion accounts on OF, but my feeling is that I would want more assurance than what I see when they're putting on a solo show in front of a camera.

I will see someone without reviews if a provider I know well suggests that the non-reviewed woman is someone I will enjoy spending time with.  If I get the sense that a woman is really just acting as a shill for a friend, I won't take her future suggestions seriously.

I look at the reviews and I also look at the reviewers so I can judge at least a level of credibility for the contribution.  There are those out there that are bashers, but more common I think are the shills.  I'd suspect many hobbyists that have been around a while can sort through those pretty easily.  It gets difficult if a provider only has a handful of reviews, if she has pages though, it's pretty easy to be confident you will be getting what you paid for.  

agreed 100% wish she travel to Chicago!

Yes a good only fans does help my decision
