I am fairly new to this "hobby" but I continue to come across the occasional exaggeration of what goes on during a date.  I tend to seek out the most attractive escort in an area where I travel and I have found out that for the money they typically offer the fewest services - which is fine.  What bothers me is that these girls, in some cases, actually get the most embellished reviews (which is what the board is about I guess). But...even after contacting the reviewers to verify that they are real, these guys still feel the need to keep up with the story - I mean if she served 3 cups in an hour and swallowed every time for $300 I don't think her phone would ever stop ringing!  I don't even try to write reviews anymore because I guess I'm not "creative" enough to get published.  Does anybody have any suggestion on how to "keep it real" on this board or should I just not waste my time or money on what I read?

You have to remember that these "reviews" are fictional and for entertainment purposes only.

Does everyone have to lie when being backchanneled also? Do providers give some kind of discount for this?

My system....never see a provider who has less than 3 reviews from guys who each have at least 3 reviews. I can't say I have always followed it, but it does work for me. No disappointment when I have used this rule.

Sounds like a winner system to me. The only problem is when a new potential GFE comes to town, she doesn't get a very good start.

For me the answer is pretty simple.  Because I'm not about to consider a session with the reviewer (LOL) I discount completely all that's written relating to HIS prowess etc...like how many pops he got & how he made her cum over & over & over!!  Filter all that crap out by taking a grain (or pound in some cases) & there's no reason you should go that far wrong...at least I haven't.  But obviously, some cross-checking of the reviewer is in order.

Even ladies that have pages of great reviews, will have a couple that the reviewer refers to her as average and this is the one you want to read, because it is much closer to the truth.

Your system is a good one.  I take it a step farther, and I'm sure others do this as well.  I look for reviews on a new (that is new for me)provider from guys that have also reviewed girls I've seen in the past, looking for similarities in our experiences.  If the reviewer has the same approximate take on the "common denominator" that I have, I put more weight into that review.  I can honestly say that it works for me in that only a handful of my experiences have not been real good, and those were in instances where I deviated from this formula.  There is one provider we have in common, and my take on her was similar to yours.  I agree that there are alot of exaggerated reviews on TER, but in retrospect the accurate ones far outweigh the BS.  You just need to do your homework.

I am relatively new to the hobby as well, but I think that many of us will exagerate our conquests including those we happen to pay for. I tend to look for providers that have multiple reviews, check for consistency and then make a judgement. Remember that these ladies are real people and like any date YMMV. There may be a tremendous amount of mutual chemistry or none at all. Another hobby of mine is lap dances at strip clubs and I have incredible experiences with some ladies (completely breaking the "rules" and poor experiences with others given our lack of chemistry.

My general advice is to do your screening based on a reasonable assessment and filtering of the reviews, then be clean, nice, complementary and you will probably maximize your experience. If the lady truly isn't what you should she should be write an honest, crtical review.

I didn't know you were in NYC....I've always respected your posts, even though our "styles" are different...had I known, I would have probably checked a few of your recommended ladies.

I agree, there is something to be said for checking out the reviews of someone whose opinion you respect...in fact, the only times I have ventured out "on my own" and counter my system has been when I could get extensive backchannel feedback from another guy whose judgement I trusted. This is especially critical for me, because I often want to make very sure a provider isn't going to have an issue with me because I am African American...so if another "brother" has seen her, and feels the experience went well, that weighs a lot for me.

I'll have to keep a closer eye on your reviews going forward...I don't know what I was paying attention to, but while I have always read your posts, I have never read one of your reviews....

I largely disagree with your implications. Your research sample must be limited and therefore misrepresentative.

I do believe, in some cases, that reviews are embellished. I conclude this on the basis of any of a variety of different peices of evidence. Some are self-evidently so, their writing style well beyond purple. Others state untruths about providers with whom I have a close enough relationship to know who's lying. Others contradict the reports of people I trust more than I trust the reviewers. Of course, in all cases, my own subjective judgment must be part of the balancing, in my own mind, of whether to believe someone else's story or my own. But that's practically redundant -- that I must use my judgment to come to a judgment ... heh.

But those embellished reviews are, in my opinion, the minority here at TER. Perhaps the MOST EXPENSIVE and visually MOST COMMONLY DESIRABLE women are exactly the ones most likely to have TER reviews that are misleading, because they've got more to gain and also have a larger client base. If you were to spread your interests a bit farther afield, you might find a few "diamonds in the rough" who don't actually offer the "McDonald's experience" of standardized rates and services, but who DO have unique characteristics that make the time together all the more memorable. Those less "standardized" women will likely have a more honest reviewership, as well, because of the same reasons.

My system is to double-check the reviews against the reviewers. There are men here who give everyone a 9 in every category; consequently, I know how much weight to give to their numbers. There are other men who include specific enough details, that I feel I can trust them. There are women about whom specific details have been written in similar manner by a variety of people. These, and many other intelligent uses of TER, will save you hassles.

Really, my experience hasn't been the same as yours. Sure, a few reviews are embellished ... maybe 10% are TOTALLY unbelievable, and another 20% are subjective enough that they include very little information that is of use to me. But, knowing those stats, I simply work around them, "factor them out" as it were. Why can't you figure out how to do the same?

Most reviews are accurate with some exaggeration.

I have become good friends with one provider and just spent the day hanging out with her today and told her of her latest review (her computer doesn't work). It is always fun for me to compare his review with her experience (she usually recognizes the reviewer as she did again today).

Generally they are pretty accurate with some exaggeration and sometimes a case of "I got BBBJ" when she ALWAYS uses a condom etc. Or, "we showered together, passionate wet deep kisses with tongue", both of which are wrong in her case.

So in summary, you should believe most of the reviews knowing that some guys like to say they "got more" than they really did. Guess it makes them feel more special than other clients!

Thanks for the replies.  I laugh every time I see the word "chemistry" used because I get the feeling that if you are clean and in shape you are going to get what everybody else does - I guess some guys want to feel they get special treatment.  Seriously, when you are clicking and ask for FS and then she snaps her legs closed - you know that service is never on the menu.

I think the posts just confirm my feeling that a lot of the reviews may be way off but no one here cares.  So, I guess I will continue to be the only guy in the world who is frustrated wasting time seeing girls who don't live up to their reviews.
