While I agree with 99.9% of the comments, figured I'd weigh in as I've written a few bad reviews since coming back to this community after a very long hiatus. Like any other forum (Yelp, Google, etc.) I am typically motivated to review when the service was either very good, very bad, or pretty good & no reviews have been posted yet. When the service is just average, I don't bother. I'm starting to rethink my position on writing reviews for average service, as I believe they help to paint a more complete picture of the provider, who is human after all. I'm pretty understanding of providers who flake. One time that happened, and I ended having a 'come to Jesus talk' with the provider who has turned out to be a friend. I explained it like this to her - the average client is married and professional. He is likely to have been planning his escapade for days - taking time off from his job, slowly telling white lies to substantiate the story to his wife (and kids perhaps). Maybe the client has had to drive some distance to see the provider. There can be much time and energy invested in this game on the part of the client. She got it and is someone who has LOTS of great reviews. That said, I do feel very strongly about providers that are either a) not honest or b) rude and disrespectful. At the end of the day, providers sell a product that is intangible and can only be measured by the client's happiness. The money a provider makes from the product they sell is earned income tax free which means (with exception of the sales tax they pay for consumption) providers are not contributing their fair share of the budget that makes the world go round (like roads, education, government services, social security, etc.) My expectations are that I will have a good time, commensurate with price paid, and what I ask for in the bedroom is pretty tame on the spectrum of tastes. I don't ask for freaky-deaky fetish stuff, it's strictly vanilla sex for me. I do, however, expect to be treated with respect. If the chemistry isn't happening but the girl is cool about it, I'm cool too. But I cut no provider slack for being rude. Think about it like this... if you went to a very fancy restaurant hoping to have one of those special meals that you will think about for years, spending $$$$ like you was Bill Gates, only to have the food come out terrible and the server was a complete B**tch, how likely would you be to complain to the manager? Ok, so there is no manager to complain to; how likely are you to get on Yelp and write a poor review? While, it may be true that a provider can do just fine with several bad reviews, my hope is that the contributions of this reviewer community are making an impact for the better.
