I feel guilty not posting any reviews,  but I have always found comfort in GAGambler.  He gives in other ways!   lol

Not an exact figure, but I would guess that 90% of the reviews and board posts come from 10% of the members.

.... feel its sometimes important to also hype the lady that deserves or needs the help.

Ive reviewed a particular UTR lady who was a favorite of mine who needed a start. In doing so I helped her to become a commodity that even I find difficult to get an appointment with nowadays....   Too bad for me, good for her.

Everyone has their own opinions on whether to review or not and mine is well known.

If your a member and you use this website and the reviews within to better your chances of success in finding the ideal ladies to spend your time with, you take and don't give back to the community then you are nothing but a parasite and don't belong here.

Compounding the insult are those parasites that post on the boards spouting their wisdom and criticism to all those who use this board the way it was intended.

Hey OSP, glad to see your back.
Cheers !

...from almost anyone about how to do something better, in a different way or to gain another perspective. The more experience they can demonstrate to me via their true reviews, the more seriously I will consider their input. The quality of their written reviews, the clarity of thought demonstrated in their board contributions and the overall level of concern for the community all go into this. If they can make me laugh once in a while, it's a done deal!

No reviews, "spouting off" with little relevant content or showing little concern for their fellow "hobbyists" just shows me that I need to delete and move along.

But if everyone were consumers and there were no contributors...well...there would be no TER.  At least in my life.  I have no interest in a "chat room".  My interest is exchanging info about the ladies. I take the effort to post reviews so fellow hobbyist can benifit from my experience. I have certainly relied on others through the years and because others submit reviews I have avoided bad experiences and enjoyed the company of some extraordinay ladies.  I also feel a responsibilty to contribute on the message boards...I enjoy the banter , and again , value the exchange of info.  I will and feel I have established a history of a willingness to assist TERites whenever possible.  but I have little patients for those always asking for info about ladies who are unwilling to contribute back to the community.  And, I tend only to trust and respect individuals with a long board history and frequent reviews under their belt. This IS after all a REVIEW board.   BTW...I never resond to a PM from someone without reviews.

I'd save that for those that flip and go to LE.

I suppose selfish might be more appropo, but I'm not tossing any rocks as I have my own glass house to worry about.  For example, I listen to a public radio station but don't send in any contributions; I save the money and use it for hobbying instead!

When I first started out I reviewed, mostly for two reasons. The first, I wanted to get credit toward membership, but then I realized, the time I spend writing a review was costing me more money than what I was saving. Second, was that I was quite enamored with the hobby, and felt quite full of myself. I got over that quite quickly however, and realized that I did my research so well that the ladies I saw met my expectations about 95% of the time, so writing a review was ending up making my voice just one among many.

So, if I have an experience where I think I have some new important information that my brothers would value and appreciate, I will let them know. Otherwise, I'll just lay low.

No reviews, none, nada.
Not VIP so I don't read any reviews.
And I'm really not interested in reviews.
I post, take it for what it worth or is writting reviews a required activity before one's posts, comments and opinions are considered of value.
And yes, I have an ATF, found her on my own and I didn't have any major problems navagating the ins and outs of this highway. A few bumps in the road maybe but all-in-all interesting. I have managed to avoide all the worst troubles encountered by some. Maybe it's all been luck.

I've been a member here for many years. I hobbied long before I learned about TER (too bad too). However when I first came here I felt if I started reviewing I would look like a newbie which I didn't consider myself as one. Occasionally I would enter into a relationship civie or pro and would not hobby; again no reviews or presence. Now I don't worry about it. I know some won't talk to me (no reviews) but I have some board presence, know some fellow hobbiest, providers, been to some M&G.

Earlier this year I met a provider that really needed a jump start and I had every intention of giving her a review. Before I could she had one that revealed her incall to such detail that she had herself delisted. I call it fate.

I appreciate all the guys that have posted reviews and I have reaped the rewards from that and sometime feel remorse that I haven't "contributed" but I have passed along much information via the PM system.

but adding to the review pool makes you a much better citizen to the TER community. Why not let your vote get counted and take part in your civic duty..LOL

Why I review:
1. to help out the ladies I see out.
2. to help my fellow hobbyists out in finding a lady to meet their needs
3. to warn my fellow hobbyists of if I come across a bad one.
4. to gain street credit
5. to give back to a resource I use to screen and keep me safe.

When do review:
1. If the lady said she wants one when I ask and "only if its good" counts as a yes. see my last review.
2. If I feel the need to warn people about a lady.
3. any new doubles pairing if both ladies ore OK with it. even if I reviewed them separately

When do I not review:
1. If the lady asks me not to and I do not feel the need to warn people.
2. any session with my wife
3. I forget to ask
4. My performance was off more then normal.
5. I have already posted a review for the lady as it would be redundant and remove the old one.

What do I think of those who do not review? I think it is a bit selfish but I do not think it is treason and I do not shun them.

Guilty. I'll do my part...eom

since you asked, I think it important for as many as possible to contribute to ensure a healthy and thriving place for the exchange of information. That can happen in many ways. Not just reviews, though that is the primary one. You contribute by your posts, though sometimes they need a little salsa to help them out

I don't mind the VIP lurkers so much, nor the freebie lurkers. However, I do not cotton to the frebie lurkers who ask questions.
