Recently, I have noted a problem with apparently inflated reviews, which leads me to think that many guys are reluctant to give less than an 8 in performance. There have been a number of PYTs come along, and their initial reviews are invariably 8 or 9 for performance.  Then an honest reviewer or two comes along and reports no dfk, no responsiveness, a mechanical script, and gives a more realistic 6 or 7. Sure, I know there are variables here: perhaps the gal gets burned out quickly or it could be a case of YMMV.  As has been alluded to recently, it could be that some guys are getting good deals for writing great first reviews. I bet the inflated scores often happen when a a guy wants to give the gal a break and not hurt her business. I'm not sure this is doing anyone a favor. In one case, a gal got great early reviews in spite of the fact that she didn't know the first thing about giving a decent blow job, and obviously did not like attempting it. This was clearly reported by subsequent reviewers. I must admit that I was guilty once of giving an 8 for little or no kissing and a mechanical, uninspired session.  My bad.  I've reached a point where I simply don't trust an 8 for performance if that is the predominant number in a gal's reviews.  If she doesn't kiss, seems uncomfortable and is following a script, she should get absolutely no higher than a 7.

You are ASSUMING that because a later reviewer (maybe you?) did not receive the same services reported in earlier reviews. that THEY did not receive those services either and fibbed in their reviews.

That is a critically faulty assumption.

It is just as if not more likely, given the credibility of many of the reviewers who "get there first", that YMMV is at play.

Either the lady got burned out and her performance declined

or FAR MORE LIKELY

there were factors intrinsic to some of the clients that caused them to receive a lower quality of service

especially

hygiene and attitude

Note also that many of the girls who are new to the biz NEED to be LED. Many tend to be a bit passive, and require a bit of "seduction".

Many hobbyists walk in the door and expect a provider to "do her thing". To be assertive or at least to "lead".

Hobbyists who expect or need this should stay away from providers who do not have a lot of experience unless they have an established review history that suggests that the lady is assertive or likes to lead.

This is a real treat for a change...someone hiding behind an alias who actually can critically think and structure the result in a reasoned manner.

for example, I see posts all the time that could be read to reflect negatively on one or more providers whom the poster has reviewed. That is not honorable.

in my case, I have made a decision to very rarely and possibly no longer use my "official TER alias" to post. Opinions can be divisive. I do not want any of my hobbyist or provider friends to be offended by my posts. But I also do not want to have to moderate what I post in order to avoid that unhappy result.

So from now on I will use my "offical TER Alias" only for reviews and will use one of my several "unofficial TER Aliases" for different categories of posts.

When I need to disagree fundamentally with someone elses post I shall use the handle "Repudiation".

It's bad enough the amount of people on the internet who talk loudly but in life are meek, now using an alias to hide their internet alias is amazing. Use of an alias only further dilutes your points in my book unless you are fearful of retaliation in which case the question of airing said opinion comes into question. If it was important enough for you to take the time to type out, wouldn't you want to be able to hold up those words rather than hide behind them?

There are many reasons that an alias is used, but IMHO they all are based upon the premise that the individual using it lacks the conviction and character to accept the responsibility for his or her comments and/or actions.

an opinion / reaction formed without sufficient experience to make a factual judgment.

I will wager that if you are still active on these boards two years from now, you will have learned why there are "9 acceptable reasons" for using an alias.

They are not only "acceptable", they are extremely wise.....

foolhardy.

While you are entirely entitled to your prejudice, please consider the comments I made to the post above yours to be in my opinion applicable here as well.

The "9 reasons" TER certifies for the proper use of an alias are extremely wise reasons for using one.

I am willing to bet that with more board experience you might just develop a more nuanced opinion of alias use....

...criticism of your position and justifying a lack of moral courage to take responsibility for your commentary and actions. You may ascribe wisdom to the use, while many might ascribe cowardice to it.

But then again, I rarely book with a lady that does not have a history of 8-10's...But I definityely agree some dudes inflate.

that your primary user name is not obvious. In your case, your attitude and style tend to give you away. I do not pretend to know all of your aliases, but I do recognize several that you use repeatedly. Unless you can disguise your writing better, your gamble may not work.

by the post count, my opinions or writing style. My use of alias is somewhat "pro forma". I am not really making an effor to "hide", nor do I "lack the courage of my convictions" with regard to the positions I take in my posts - a point apparently quite lost on the critics in this post.

Cheers, and safe travels

My only point was that some guys give a gal a break, for whatever reason, by giving her an 8 instead of a 6 or 7. I know this from personal experience and from PMs both sent and received.

You're assuming this is the first time I've ever used a message board, that I always use the same handle and that I don't understand how Google works..

Continue prattling on with your sage advice hiding behind an alias that is hiding your anonymous internet handle that is hiding your real identity. It takes many people to make up a community on the internet and having been active on message boards dating back to the BBS days I can spot someone who likes to read what they've typed more so than an attempt to offer information.

Dictionary.com is not that hard to use!  And spelling them incorrectly is a clue that they're not a regular part of the vocabulary but an attempt to impress.

If a girl doesn't DFK but performs enthusiastically in all other areas, then I don't have any problem giving her at least an 8. But I would not give this girl from EGC more than a 6 when she didn't kiss, didn't respond to daty, gave a very weak bbbj, and basically just went through the motions. As a matter of fact, I thought I was being generous for giving her a 6 (I'm usually a generous grader as my reviews indicated). When I read her initial reviews, almost all the reviewers mentioned that she didn't DFK, didn't know how to give BBBJ, not responsive and yet all of them gave her 8 or 9. They did put a caveat in their reviews: She's new in the business and you have to lead her. After reading the reviews, I still took a chance on her. It didn't work out and I had only myself to blame. This girl was very sweet and innocent-looking so I can understand maybe the reviewers wanted to cut her some slack and hoped she would get better with more experience. If this was really the case, then I agree with the OP that this was not doing anyone a favor. On the other hand, it's also very likely this girl just burned out from overbooking (she did tell me that she was booked solid pretty much everyday).

I agree with Boricualover 100%. I myself have just been guilty of giving an 8 when it really should have been a 7 (no DFK, poor BJ). And I disagree that the numbers mean nothing--if it weren't for the numbers, I would be losing money to inexperienced providers. The ONLY major problem with TER is that the profile categories (CIM, kiss, etc.) are set by the first reviewer, and then never change. So they can be wildly inaccurate, unike the numbers which allow one to make a fairly accurate average after more than 10 reviews or so. Congratulations, Boricualover, for telling it like it is.

gives 7 variations, but none of them are 'An opinion other than my own!'

Seriously. The numbers are subjective, AT BEST. The vagaries of client preferences and experiences will result in pretty good variations in ratings, so relying on those alone is foolish at best.

Some guys just don't care as long as she is hot. Hence my review of Julia from FLService (not to pick on her or FLS). She was hot with some reasonable reviews. What was not obvious until later and later review was the script, lack of interest in her performance and one cup rule.

Some guys reviewed this behavior AND gave her good reviews. I gave her a 5 and she PMed me for crying out loud. I may be pushing 50, but it takes more than an amazing pair of tits, a hot ass and tight pussy to get a good performance rating.

A few agencies blacklist a reviewer if scores are not high enough - so there can be strong pressure to keep lower scores off the board.

...and of what does TER say a "10" in performance is indicative?

I agree with Stephen and Boricualover, and so have I inaccurately reviewed a couple of the few ladies I have visited. Sometimes, and from my own experience, old guys like me are easily satisfied after a no BBBJ or rimming, for example. We need to try to be as accurate as possible when submitting reviews. In my case I will try to stick to independents as I think I have been banned by a couple of agencies around.

Re: Well Mr Bananaman - we all know who you like to write reviews for

Yep! Everyone I can.

"The ONLY major problem with TER is that the profile categories (CIM, kiss, etc.) are set by the first reviewer, and then never change."

Not true.  The profile does change but it takes a problem report to change the categories. I have changed many profile categories where the a lady has changed from CBJ to BBBJ and no kissing to DFK.

the facts. A preconceived preference or idea.

Your viewpoint conforms on both counts

And though I admit to having a massive vocabulary, I do not go out of my way to spell check posts on an anonymous fuck board.

If that's all you got, it's pretty pathetic!

Now go enjoy your prejudices. Just don't expect them to influence anyone or win any arguments (or friends for that matter lol)

I'll admit my reviews have been too high, now that I have had some real fabulous 9's and rare 10 I will adjust acordingly.

what if everyone discounted YOUR scores? They you wouldn't have 869 subsidized reviews.

Are you stoopid?  You know exactly what subsidizes means.

More people know what you do than what your ego will allow you to acknowledge or accept.
