now I feel dumb, I thought you guys just saw whose ever pictures you liked the most! lol

I first happened to notice it but in a different way. There was a  provider who had 9s and 10s across the board and then I would notice an 8 that would come in, and then the next day it would have magically morphed into a 10, but the 8 had been more representative to what the reviewer originally wrote, that the provider was much older than advertised amongst other things, and then the original words would have also magically disappeared. It was a true indicator, at least in my book, that someone was either badgering the hell out of the original reviewer to get those numbers changed, or someone had a lot of influence with the board Gods at that time. I did notice that now that the board "seems" to be handled differently that several of these ladies that I watched this with, no longer have reviews going up like they once did.

But I have seen those providers who were getting strong reviews, and then that "tepid" review would come in, many times written by the same mongers that were giving 10's to the original ladies I spoke of, and it came across to me again, as though some of those ladies were having their regulars eliminate the competition. I think the tepid reviews are much more dangerous as with the strong "only if your drunk" reviews tended to stand out to much as a way to hurt someone, where as the tepid ones come across as more "honest" even if they are not.

I could have SWORN the referenced review was a 10 - 10 when I last perused the lady's review history.  
I took special interest in this providers exceptional score history about a year back when I noticed a pattern forming of several consequtive, exceptionally favorable reviews and scores followed by a totally out of character review with low scoring. But more recently it is just a tepidly written ‘clinker’ with mediocre scores that seem to be strategically thrown in.

 It must be difficult for an independent provider serendipitously finding themselves in a regional top 10 competition with $$agency$$ managed competitors.  

Some guys like to crunch numbers and come up with aggregate averages that determine perceived value, market rate, etc. I just like spotlighting vanity, venal corruption and incessant greed in the Human struggle.

TER’s legendary statistician Mathesar had his facts & fun; so too do I have mine

A 5 is average.  A 7 means you are above average.  A 7 is not a bad score, but women think it is.

Most women in the world automatically rate themselves an 8.  Sorry, but that's just not mathematically possible.

If you are an informed reader and checking out reviews, you will read the numbers, and go to the scores that stick out.  If a woman is mostly 9s and 10s and there is a random 7, then I read the 7 score.  If the verbiage says he enjoyed her, then that's worth more than seeing a bunch of 9s and 10s.

I rated a provider 8/8 recently and got a PM saying, "You suck."  Really?  Did you bother reading my review?
