Saw a girl who hadn't been reviewed and was happy to be reviewed. She was great, and my review was very positive.

Honestly it's REALLY starting to piss me the fuck off, pardon my language. Sure, I can just say I won't review her, and either be honest, or just lie and actually review but what's the deal with them? If you are an awesome, fun, and worthwhile provider reviews will give free publicity AND helps encourage people to see you when otherwise they might not have. If you're not then you sure as hell deserve a bad review. If I went into a restaurant and they served me the wrong order, didn't care they did so, and had awful service and crappy food, are people going to be mad at me for warning them not to go there? That's how consumerism works. I don't believe they want to have a carte blanche to screw guys over but that's how it comes off as.

Yes, I know some guys can provide a bad review purely for kicks, but if that's the case, they're most likely not going to honor any requests to not review a provider anyway. What insight do the rest of you have for this? It makes no sense. It also bugs me because all I ever hear is how SW's and providers are discriminated against, are attacked (usually socially, like online, not physically) are looking for legitimacy, that law enforcement used to police this is a waste, yadda yadda. And yet these specific providers also want to be excluded from all the norms that businesses normally have to put up with anyway? Like bad google or yelp reviews. You want to be equal UNLESS it happens to be inconvenient then its time to be given special treatment? Screw that noise.

I don't know why you're all torqued out of shape about it. Do what you want to do, review who you want to review and don't worry about it. The only concern is if you review her and she black lists you as a result. But that can be avoided by waiting to post the review for a month or so and also keeping any details out of the review that would lead her to think it was you. Remember, TER permits you to post a review up to three months after the date.
Keep Calm and Party On.

"If my service sucks, I want you to agree NOT to tell anyone"  

 
Would you still be a customer of said business. Whether or not you actually want to review these women, I would think the policy alone should make you take pause about whether or not you REALLY want to visit any providers with such a policy.

Don't mistake my complaint as some kind of concession. I either wouldn't see that provider, or I wouldn't give a crap about their "don't review me" policy. It just makes no sense and I wanted to know if there's some kind of feasible explanation for it, maybe from a provider that IS ok with reviews that might have a guess.

I think it increases the value of girls with good reviews. Just visit them.

if a girl posts she doesn't want reviews it gives me pause if i wish to see her.   sometimes i will but in most cases i wont.   you have to trust your gut ... or a part a bit lower  LOL  

If i see a provider has a "No review" policy I bypass them, 99 percent of the time.  I've been around long enough to remember a few that were actually great providers before they delisted. Seeing a TER provider is killing two birds with one stone for me.  One I get to see a hot piece of ass, two I get to write a review and get VIP credit for it.  Their reasoning behind it varies, yeah some are scam artists and don't want the ripoff documented, but others had good, legit, services and fell into the "anti-TER" crowd due to various reasons.  

I get tons of fake reviews.  Most of them contain misleading information, which can be a problem, so I don't like to let them remain.  

So I'll send him a PM to ask that he verify when/where we met.  

Then I contact TER to alert them of a suspicious review.  Lately, they take a long time to respond and then THEY send the reviewer a message.... if he doesn't respond to either my PM or their message after 72 hours, they will pull the review.  
 BUT.... I have to follow up with them again these days to repeatedly ask that they remove it.  

 
With the last likely-fake one I received, they never pulled it and wouldn't give me an explanation.  

 
Doing all this, spending my time and energy to ensure all my reviews are real and accurate, is a PITA.    

So I frequently tell people that I do not need any more reviews.   It's simpler that way.

First, a restaurant does not usually need to weigh the likelihood or consequences that criminal prosecution may come from reviews posted about their business.  

A lack of reviews may not impact her business.  

The content of reviews often sets expectations for future clients. I’m sure we’ve all see reviews that state a provided offered a service she does not advertise. Would YOU want to have to deal with future clients expecting more just because you felt like doing something special one time for one client?  

I stopped paying attention to the juicy details in reviews a long time ago. What matters to me is if her pictures are accurate and was she on time.

It's a covid moment. Cut the monger a break, I say.

Re: I still don't get why you're venting here.
Why get upset?

That is probably as good an answer as any. And I'm not really trying to kick anyone while they are down just trying to understand the mental state I guess.  

 
Clearly the no review policy on some or a few ad pages he saw pushed a button but then the rest of the post was about rationalizing why they might have such a no review policy rather than really saying anything about why it became an issue. Maybe he has a good reason -- or it's like you suggested.

 
Just in case the post didn't get things out of his system thought I would prompt for more and then maybe someone could help him reset to a better state of mind.

Most women have a pretty good sense of their social standing and interactions.  So if she expects that an honest review would not not enhance her reputation, and she pre-empts that by refusing reviews, I won't argue with her self-judgment but simply accept the warning and seek someone better.

The ladies who don't wish to be review have their own personal reasons. It's not always about being afraid of a bad review. A LOT has changed and continues to do so with FOSTA/SESTA and even more  things like Twitter being sued.

Many ladies want to be more low key now and rely on other ways to market themselves. There are so many ladies here on TER who are okay with being reviewed and many who don't have a do not review policy. I'm sure it's frustrating if you see a hot lady's ad or website and you'd love to see her but she has a "No Review" policy clearly stated on her website.

I had to learn how to survive without TER when I couldn't post ads or get reviews for two years. The market had no choice, it had to adjust itself as any other biz does.

IMO TER has moved even more to a guy's site than ever. Yes I know it always has been, but more so than ever now. Maybe TER sees it as a way to thrive and adjusted their biz mode. I do wish TER wouldn't push for more graphic details because IMO in the climate ladies are experiencing now it shines more of a spotlight on the ladies we don't need.  

I'd like to add one final point before closing. More gents I've seen do not wanted to write reviews. It's become a thing. I've been declined twice on writing one in the last year and I'm not going to lose a good client over it. I still use TER to screen. This means if I find the language in the content of a guy's reviews degrading and sounds like bragging I'll decline to see them. That's my choice.

There are alternative ways to learn about a provider outside of checking other mongers’ reviews. Direct contact, Twitter, or posting a “Have You Seen x?” on a regional board are some examples.

I’ll honor a no review request, but if I see a post asking about a particular girl, I’ve in some cases sent a DM to the curious chap.  

But if you don’t want to rely on other methods, there’s always the best option for guys with your mindset. Just don’t see her!

Melissa has quite the interesting marketing strategy here.

whether we have detailed reviews.  

A provider having a profile so I know what she looks like and services offered IS important to me. I don't want to see gals that won't DFK or who don't offer BBJ for example. A few vouches that the profile is correct and accurate is more than enough for me.  

I've seen a few "No review" gals and lucked out, and a few where I was not so lucky and had a less than great time.

I agree. The first thing I look for is are the photos accurate. Then, were the services delivered as promised. I still read the narratives, but unless they're from a reviewer I know and trust I take those with a grain of salt.
