I am so surprised that so many girls got 8, 9, or even 10 on their looks. I was always end up disappointed after seeing most of the ladies because their looks don't match the rating. 10 on appearance is explained as "once in lifetime"but some reviewer just give the score to everyone who looks OK. This is just bad for both hobbyist and ladies- it's making people more difficult to choose the ladies they want, and it's unfair to ladies who have looks really worth a high score.

It is very likely that the rating in looks is inflated. Firstly its relative. Your 8 could be easily my 10. Secondly I think most of the times, it is related to the performance. So if the performance of the lady is very good, hobbyists(including this one) tend to give a higher rating on looks too rather than being absolutely objective. So if I think the performance is 9, I may end up ratings her looks too as 9 ( instead of let's say a 7). I have rarely seen ratings like a 6/9 or a 7/10. This is just my theory. I don't have any facts or numbers supporting this.

The above poster mentioned your  "8 could easily be his 10." This is a true statement for most , not just in the lifestyle but in life period.  

and I know most ladies don't post their faces. But for me, appearance is a combination of
1. her face  
2. her body
3. and how she carries both .... her "look"

That's probably why this topic is one of the most frequently discussed topics on the board.  

For there to be inflation, then at one times scores would have been honest, and in the intervening time, moved up.

everybody is different is their taste!! That's why it's called Hobbying!!  

They call it hobbying because, like any other kind of hobby, once the instant gratification of today wears off, you've got nothing to show for the money you spent.

over 50, most girls under 35 look like 10's, but I try to nevertheless exercise restraint in my scoring, which also suggests as I get older, my scores for looks are likely to go up as the distance between my age and that of the girls I am canoodling with increases.

And if face is really your thing, stick to the providers who show their face in their pictures. They're out there too.

Do me good, I do you good.  
Same as bird in hand?

The big smile on the face after a fab session.  You can't tell me its not worth the money!! If you think that way you should stop... And a 5 to you maybe a 10 to someone else!!  None can say they are right when making rating on someone PR something

it wasn't worth it.  I said after today, you have nothing to show for the money.  If it wasn't worth it, I wouldn't be spending what I am month in and month out.  My last hobby was flying small airplanes.  It costs about the same for both hobbies, and the next day, you have nothing to show for what you spent.  

If that's truly the case then why do girls demand 9 or 10 from everyone they see?
I think the disconnect comes from guys expecting glamour glamour glamour and what they get is still much better than they'd find at home.  
A stiff dick may not have a conscience but a deflated one has regerts...sorry was eating a Milky Way

Give a lady a 7 and she will be hurt or angry or vindictive......so saying you are attractive is an insult?

I know of some reviewers who would probably throw up upon seeing this woman, maybe rate her a 5 if they're feeling generous that day.  Others might say 6, perhaps 7.  No way they'd go to a 9 since obviously she's not model material.  After all, a model has a figure like that of the mannequin in the photo, right?

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is very true.

Surely there should be something you could have done to grease the skids, No? LOL

with your Zero reviews.

um, my numbers are like that

I look at how the Lady is relatively ranked by her reviewers.  For the boys who habitually give 10s to most everyone they see, I basically ignore their input.

I often look back and compare looks of some of the previous providers that I have seen before rating my next reviewed provider.  I think that the rating system itself is a bit skewed and some can take offense to a 7 or 8 etc, when they are actually good ratings.  I think different cultural upbringings can determine what actually rates a 8, 9 or 10 to some.  For example, I can rate a woman who physically looks like a model in some ethnic magazines that I have viewed, a 10, but those who have grown up looking at Playboy will see her differently and vice versa.  Bottom line is do as much research as possible about a providers looks before seeing her, and understand that the photos that you see online a doctored up a bit, they are her best representation.  Whether you're going to get that look on that day is a crapshoot, but if you are pleased with what you see, then go for it.  I have made my mistakes in letting previous reviewers scores dictate me seeing a lady, but you live and you learn and grow in your own decision making.

the very young providers that are more interested in the money than giving a customer their money's worth.  Had many reach for the lube.  Never happens with the providers north of 30, who have learned to love what they do and get into the moment with their customers.  That's why I have said many times that I like the girls in their 30's, not their 20's.

yourself if she is hot enough for you. Don't just rely on the numerical scores in reviews.

Someobe who has been around as long as you should know this. Your line about scores having to be honest at one time in order to creep up eventually is false. Inflation means the scores have creeped up, period. It doesn't mean that originally they were 100% honest. Being honest has no baring. Sure they may have always been slightly inflated over "real life" scores, but the part about the scores moving up over time is totally proven in TER history. Look at scores from a decade ago or even longer when TER first started. Great providers were getting 7s and 8s and were totally happy with them. 10s were extremely rare even with porn stars and high end hookers. Over the years scores have crept up. It's easy to do simple research and prove that. In fact some of the same ladies who have been around for a decade or more have much higher scores now than they did back then.  

But yes score inflation is real. I would just give an honest assessment. I don't typically review but for me the "appearance" score can certainly slide either way from point of the door opening to when I leave. They arent meat that just stands there, chemistry, attitude, etc all play a part (for me) in an appearance score.... Again for me.  

my daddy used to say, there's nothing wrong with a little meat on the bones

talk about a left handed compliment!

That's a whole lotta ass!!!

No thanks

Why not rent both & be wet together, dry is no good (you may need lube)...... Just saying that everyone doesn't rate the same cause everyone has different tastes in women, in sex, in what they consider hot or not!!

They do sometimes, but really - most people don't see the scores or the top 100 list. If they do have VIP they most likely have an understanding that they should read the actual reviews and read between the lines.  

Eh.  I'm perfectly fine with a 7.  I think I even have one wayward 6 in my mix.

It is important to make a distinction between inflated scores, and score inflation.

I mean, how do we know what percentage of TER members have VIP?

I used to work with a guy who just simply adored larger women.  His motto was "I don't want to ride a hard tail motorcycle, I want a nicely upholstered Cadillac.  If a girl is too skinny you can scratch yourself!".

or reviewers would say something. Wouldn't they?

I am sure someone would give her a ten, but the only way she would get a ten from me would be on a scale of 1-100

Some ladies are self reviewing for themselves and their provider friends.  Some ladies insist on a10 appearance or else the guy will suffer the backlash.
As for the 10's in looks?  I definitely don't consider myself a 10. Im really shocked when I get a really high appearance score. It really isn't fair to the ones that are actually that beautiful. I just chalk it up to beauty is in the eye of the beholder.   Hell some guys think every ladies is drop dead gorgeous probably because of who they go home to at night. Lots of wives once were 10s to them but have let themselves go to the point that these providers are all a 9 or 10 in appearance.
Who knows what each individual is attracted to really.  Every one is different.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I have much fonder memories of a true slut than I do of a cold fish. A woman can easily enter the room as an 8, but leave as a 9 due to the diminished blood level in my brain from mind blowing sex. Conversely, bad service is remembered longer than hot looks, an actual 9 might not be remembered quite so fondly by the time a guy goes to write a review of his time with her if she was kind of meh in the performance department.

only for a two-hour session.  If I survived, I probably wouldn't repeat.

but yes you totally missed the mark about much higher the grades have been inflated since then. Tens are all but meaningless at this point. PS is absolutely correct in this regard. The problem has gotten much worse, but the good news is, "How much worse can it possibly get?"

"To get intimate top 100" = "to get into the top 100."

It does seem to fit, doesn't it? lol

Perhaps deceptive pictures are more common at the lower rate levels which I do not frequent. But I only see upper tier independent providers. As I indicated above.....if that's not your speed, prepare for ugly

But I'm still shocked when I get a 10 in appearance
Yeah, sluts have a ton of fun!  Lol
