...some guys who DEFINITELY just get a kick out of seeing who will jump and respond but I can attest to that it works sometimes. You can more-or-less by now tell the guys who didn't bother to search at all first and the guys who may have but are just looking for a more personal touch on recommendations (from other guys giving faves publicly or privately as well as the ladies). And they could say the used the search feature first but of course they could just lie so they don't get flamed for being lazy lol.
When I see ISO's like "Who gives the best Greek in DC/NoVa" and nothing more meh ..... just doesn't sound too serious (or thought out) and makes me think the OP just wants to see whose gonna say 'ME ME ME ME' lol. *shrugs*
most of the ISO posts are made by guys who have no reviews, very old reviews or most guys that are brand new..
The root of the problem is that they don't bother to search and are looking for handouts. Perhaps they don't know how to search. And its not a crime not to know. Take my "Have you searched" comments in a constructive way - a way to teach them the ropes if you will...
I wouldn't be surprised if half of the guys don't even have VIP to do a FULL SEARCH.

Haven t you been paying attention guys?
"The bar" has been lowered so that everyone can feel good about themselves and not have to compete. The new America is land of the entitlement philosophy and slavery by handouts. As a general principle now the education system doesn't teach 'how to think', it teachs you WHAT to think and capitalism is bad. After all in a competitive capitalist environment you may be required to use CRITICAL THINKING and deduce your own answers.

Oh no we can't have that..... that might lead to individuals doing for themselves and not depended on others to do for them.
I know, I'm such a radical believing in self determination, personal liberty and freedom of the individual along with the personal responsibility which comes with it.
But none of what I have said has filtered down to this business and the actions of people on this board. No, that would be crazy conspiracy talk.
There's another local board out west that is. For the simple reason that it has a section for providers to make their availability status known to paid members in REAL TIME or damn near it. Lots of reliable, veteran clients out there with crazy schedules, making the bacon that we share with the ladies for their time. The TER ad board is a total failure for guys like us. IMO the TER system is really inefficient with helping the ladies eliminate holes in their schedules and providng clients with plenty of choice for safe, last second appointments. Go ahead and flame away, but there are plenty of dudes on this board that agree with me. Probably a silent majority of backbenchers. Ladies and TER admin take notice and consider tweaking this board's design and policies to make it better.
When it no longer meets the needs of its customer base, that model unless it adapts dies. This is assuming of course, that enough of the market desires the change to significantly affect the business model or motivate it to change.
You may have a valid complaint about the TER software and business model. However, your particular issue may not achieve enough customer critical mass to affect the results the site is generating. Objects, business models, and belief systems in motion stay in motion until met with an equal or overwhelming opposite force.
It doesn't mean your observation is any less valid.
Besides, this is why savvy marketers like me have private newsletters or user subscribed daily alerts. Why depend upon a site when I can find, hire or create the means to do it for myself!
