Many people choose not to share, so they never write a review. Some people love writing reviews. Do you always write reviews, or sometimes decline? I am curious because sharing is caring.  Reviews help.

It helps her to get business and therefore encourages her to remain an escort.

Ditto!   I rarely see a non-reviewed woman.  I like to know what to expect when I see the woman and don't want to be disappointed if she is a non-GFE Provider.  So I write them to help the women as well and the gentlemen to make informed decisions.

I must agree as well with you both,,,,,,,,, reviews are a road map hopefully to follow or choose to NOT, based on the info we write.  
 Mostly to me, If you  grade and post a review it should comment about comparison to photos that are posted, not on your opinion as to appearence since we all judge your statements differently,  your 9-gorgeous may be my 6- nice so i want to judge based on the photo .......when I buy a new sport coat for the big bucks I don't care what you think as much as my eyes deciding if I want to try it on.....and beyond that can the personality add to that and increase that grade just because of the importance of the connection and still compared to all of your other reviews.
Second to that, I want to know if GFE exists or is even real and I shall always go to the other reviews that the reviewer may have to compare against their subjective opinions since every lady can have one bad day, but the reviewer with 5-6 averages, or even just one,  may not be who I want to use for my decision.
 Lastly, a discussion for me anyways, on the place that you are sending me to,  is important not just for safety but also for ease of a handicapped hobbier. If I have to constantly ask the provider about parking, elevator presence and acceptance of a walker then sometimes that gets me ghosted for just trying to learn that info so if I can find it in a review that helps me anyway

I feel that if I'm going to read reviews of others in order to help me select the kinds of ladies I might have a good time with, I'm obligated to reciprocate by writing reviews of the ladies I see.  Otherwise, I'm just a leech on the review community here.  However, I would not do it if I could not maintain my anonymity, because there is no point in writing a review that is a dishonest assessment of the provider.  It helps no one and in fact, can mislead others about what to expect, which is worse than NOT writing a review, IMO.  As I learned many years ago, with this level of honesty, there is often blowback from providers if they can match the real you to your TER handle and don't like how honest you were in your review.

Personally I feel that someone who is reluctant to share their review history is hiding something, and I in turn am equally reluctant to see them.  You should not have to be dishonest in your reviews, but you should not be an asshole either.  If I look at a gentleman's review history and he has shared his opinions respectfully, good or bad, I am not going to hold this against him.  Now if he has many negative reviews - the issue may just be with him, not the ladies, or at least that he is not doing his job in selecting providers that meet his expectations.  Perhaps he is expecting supermodels on a budget or just taking his chances on any old girl from an ad or an agency without doing his research when he has specific requirements.  
Clearly not all anonymous reviewers would fall into these categories, and some may be nice guys who are reluctant to hurt a girl's feelings when they describe a less that perfect session.  However I have no way of knowing that is the case, as opposed to the alternative, which could be that he is such an asshole that no girl would agree to see him after reading what he writes in reviews.      

Please help me understand.

I’ve done this for so long. YMMV is the number one rule. I want other participants to know it was a legit experience that was safe. I always want to convey she is worth the going rate. I ask ladies if they want one now. Most say yes or they don’t care. If they say yes I do one. They don’t care? Then I won’t. Once you get a regular you don’t bother. If she’s that good then she doesn’t need the reviews and doesn’t advertise.

Are you Gus_n_MollyPugs?

Help the lady out.
Help a fellow player out.
Regale everyone with tales of my brobdingnagian sexual appetites and Olympian prowess.
Relive the moment.
Relive reliving the moment.

I had the same first impression. But in fairness, Gus was a much better writer than this guy, and Gus lived in NY/NJ while this guy has been posting reviews in Minnesota for a few years. So, I don’t think it’s Gus sneaking back in under a different handle.

I agree with Mr Fisher, but in the same aspect........When a hobbyist writes a review for a Provider on any site like this. He/She can't come off nasty towards the Provider and not expect the Provider to be offended. when it comes down to what the Hobbyist wants and what the Provider give.......can turn out wrong because a Provider & a Hobbyist chat about what goes on during the session.........Providers have a different idea of what the Hobbyist wants. And the Hobbyist may give a bad review.

team_rocket_qwerty,  
  Not true !!!  What a Hobbyist has to do is be clear on the whole session. Start out by talking about the first time you (The Hobbyist) saw her AD that she place on the site, then explain the chat you had with her (On the Phone or Through Email) and go from there. Hobbyists & Providers need to make sure to be nice during the conversation. Hobbyists........Regardless how the session went........Don't call the Provider names like "Bitch", "Whore" & Etc. Hobbyists need to remember that if it wasn't for men throughout our (The Provider's Life) making sexual advances, then it wouldn't put thoughts of Escort/Prostitution in our heads. And Providers remember one thing........It's not the Hobbyist's fault that they would rather have a sexual relationship with a Provider (And no more then that) and pay for it. It's something to a convenience.  The Provider makes money and The Hobbyist gets his/her pleasure. Both Provider & Hobbyist does not have to worry about to much of a commitement.  

I don't post reviews for every encounter. I've come to my own code:
* If she has a no review policy, it's a no then.
* If it's a fantastic experience, I'll ask if she's ok with a review. Whatever she decides is what I'll do.
* If it's not a good experience, then I ask myself if it was a chemistry thing. If it was, then I'll assume it was my fault so I won't hurt her business. But if I feel she was in the wrong about something, I'll feel compelled to warn my fellow TERrarians.

references who will vouch for what a respectful and generous client I am.  This is usually sufficient to get me an appointment 90% of the time, and every one of the 1000+ providers I have seen have invited me to come back. The other ten percent who want something more for screening will never see a dime of my money.  It's not complicated.  There are more providers than I will ever have time to see in my remaining lifetime, so there is no specific provider that I absolutely HAVE to see that would prompt me to give up my personal information.  

I actually happily accept provider references as long as they are from an established independent provider who has an online presence that can be validated accordingly and who I can contact using the published contact information.  

Most of my reviews are from my experience doing three ways. So if I can give back to other couples letting them know a provider is great then I do. Most providers who enjoy couples have stated they appreciate tasteful reviews. Obviously, if they have a no review policy then I wouldn’t. I typically don’t see ladies who do so never been an issue.

TWO assumptions. . . . . . That a guy who remains anonymous could either be shy about hurting a girl's feelings, or a complete asshole.  Then you admit you don't know which, so deciding either way would be an assumption on your part.   There might be several more explanations for someone remaining anonymous, but those, too, would be assumptions since you don't know.  By remaining anonymous, I take all of the stress out of you having to assume things.  if the word of two reputable TER providers is not enough to get me into the door, then I'm content to pass, draw a line through your name, and go on to the next lady on my TDL.  

I remember back in time when I relied on the few reviews and how it help me navigate through all of this. There was a tight group of us who would share information through PM's. Where have they gone...
I see alot of non reviewed girls, as you can see so I take pleasure, also its a bit of an adrenaline rush for me to meet new ladies. So this creates my motivation, I like to share my experiences be it good or bad. Rarely do I take into consideration if it'll help or hurt the young lady. I'm as honest and real as I can be. I then hope it serves the community and maybe the young lady.

after a long discussion with Gus, he coached me to write and stated that most hobbyists on this general discussion board are doped up or brain dead and would not understand if they even read the whole thing,  and he also said that commenting with more than one point, would simply confuse most but I took it on either way and with his blessings..........sorry if it was too deep to understand ALL the points and as you read you had to come up for a breath of air just to get thru it !! Maybe next time take notes.  I truly understand the confusion in reading the response from someone with no reviews that is probably sitting in clouds of smoke but I am surprised by comments of someone with 109 reviews not chiming in with some kind of agreement regardless the quality of writing.

Would have been nice if he had learned, and then taugh you, how to put white space between paragraphs to make the posts more readable.

is like having a guy with no dick teach you how to fuck.  Now that many here have made the connection, perhaps you should change your username and start over?  

Well I have been occasionally lurking here on TER, and lo & behold I see my name dropped in this thread, along with the assumption I must be posting under a different name, or somehow coaching a fellow, long-winded disabled provider seeker.    

"... (who know why the code works like that but it does). ..."
.
Part of the answer is historical. It goes back to Ye Goode Olde Days of manual typewriters.  
.
Let's assume the top left of the page is Line 1, Position 1. The end of that line (now on the top right) is Line 1, Position 80. On manual typewriters, the character stroke was always in the middle of the typewriter and the CARRIAGE moved from right to left for consecutive keystroke. At the end of the line (Position 80), manually pushing the carriage from left to right reset the stroke position (in the middle of the typewriter) to Line1, Position 1. An additional little push on the CR handle, advanced a ratchet to turn (advance) the carriage CYLINDER by one line. The combination of CR and LF now put the system for the next keystroke at Line 2, Position 1. And so on ...
Line 1, P1 ............ L1, P80 then CR + LF moves to:
Line 2, P1 ............. L2, P80 then CR + LF moves to:
L3, P1 ............ L3, P80 etc.
.
(L1, P1 .......... L1, P80 CR ONLY resets to )
(L1, P1 .... and you start typing over Line 1.)
.
When there is no typing and you are still at Ln P1, I think that the CR or Enter keystroke is interpreted as a LF. So,  
L1 P1 .......... L1 P80 CR (goes back to)
L1 P1 , then another CR adds an LF.
L2 P1  
.
When electric typewriters with fixed carriages and moveable typeballs came along, a combined CR/LF key moved the typeball back to Position 1 and advanced the line by one.  
.
When computers came along, not all systems were the same. Some treated CR as a plain CR w/o a LF and others treated the CR key as a combo CR/LF.  
.
Here's where I get a little uncertain about CR LF in computer editors (i.e., the forum post editor).  In the PREVIOUS versions of TER Boards, the "CR" or "Enter" key on your KB produced a combo CR/LF/LF which produced a normal blank line break and paragraph break. In THIS version of TER Boards, the "CR" or "Enter" key does a CR/LF ... I think. Then, a second CR (while at Position 1) does NOT seem to enter a LF. Entering two CRs in a row enters the LF.
.
As you can see from my typing, when I get to the end of a paragraph, I just hit "CR . CR" which produces  
L1 P1 ............ L1 P80 CR .
L2 P1 .  (a period at the beginning of L2) And another CR advances the line again. CR
L3 P1 a period at the beginning of L2 acts like a paragraph separator.

talks so much about his and others' sex lives. And why his posts are so useless.

Glad you decided to stay around rather than leave if you wanted to be here.

hey GUS, fellow, long-winded disabled provider seeker here.........thanks again for your continued support.......I am still learning AND great spacing, made my day !!

Sorry I was taking your words literally when you said assumptions based on READING reviews.  You do not know how I interpret reviews in my screening process.  

I started writing reviews solely for VIP access. I was content with lurking on the General details section until I met an amazing FBSM provider that I couldn't believe stuck to "no extras." I had to read previous reviews to find out. I continued writing reviews whenever I felt the need to be VIP, or if a provider asked for a review.
