This has been discussed all over TER it's unfortunate but part of the business. It's up to reviewers to take the reviews for what they are worth and see through the bs. Some ladies require 10s if you review them or ask you not to submit a review or threaten you. This leads guys to inflate scores and a newbie will be expecting a "model" and "once in a lifetime" performance when the lady is pretty average.
I take reviews with a grain of salt. I haven't seen any providers who could actually be a model but in DC at least we have ladies who can provide a great session. Giving 9s for CBJ or 10 in looks for some 40 year old doesn't make sense to me but it's all subjective.I recently had a provider PM me and try to convince me to raise my review numbers on her. Never happened to me before, but it makes sense of course - it's obviously better for future business. This is, as we all should know, not a marketing site like some others. Boys, for this place to work, we gotta be honest in our reviews. I wonder if others raised their reviews of this girl because of similar pressure. From the TER link below, for our review...
"This site is here for one single reason: We all work hard for our money and we don’t want to waste it on someone who doesn’t deliver as promised. We are also dedicated to finding those special women who truly enjoy making the time we spend with them something special.
We need your help maintaining this site as a powerful and reliable reference tool for those who patronize erotic services on the Internet. Once you’ve had a session with a provider, we invite you to log-on and submit a review of your experience. And when you are ready for your next encounter, please drop by and see what your fellow Hobbyists have to say about the provider of your choice."
Stay safe...

Many Women do not even start to become interesting until they are in their 40's (Met my ATF when she was 38, and that was ten years ago - talk about "Beauty" and "Blinding-Eroticism.")
and try to be as honest as possible. I have never raised the scores on anyone.. Its is what it is..
BTW - If you report the girl to TER, what she did is a banishable offense. TER does not like providers interfering with the review system.
Sometimes some of us girls put a lot of effort into what we do. We DO try to provide good service, setting, variety, etc... I want nothing more than guys to be more honest about scores. I hear the craziest stories about girls being drunk or high as all get out on a consistent basis but those things never make it into reviews. All I can think is that if I tried pulling that type of thing, my little career here would be flushed right down the toilet.
I witnessed, with my own eyes, a girl (who'd I'd personally met as well) who sent a PM to someone I knew after he saw her, threatening to out him among other crazy things, if he didn't give her no less than an 8/8. Because of the screening process, she had all of his info. That never makes it into reviews. I've seen girls talk about offering extra free time if the guys give them good scores, to which I replied not very nicely. You want an 8, 9, 10, in performance? I work hard to get that.
I know most girls are not like this, I'm just saying it's crazy that this is swept under the carpet so often.
On the other hand, guys sometimes hold girls hostage, hanging the review over girls' heads, as in "if you don't do whatever extra I want, you're gonna get a bad review and talked about on the hobbyist board". I've had guys say this to me trying to urge bbfs. That is not cool.
These are just my personal experiences. I ask my boys not to review me. If you've met me, you know I'm telling the truth.
You never know the intentions of the person leaving the review. You never know their level of honesty. You never know what gets left out. You never know if the reason the girl sucked in the appointment was because the dude writing the review had horrible hygiene issues, or whatever.
I feel more like this is a guide. I wish this site would add something similar to Date-Check or P411, where the reviewers "Okays" (given by the providers) can be accessed along with our reviews, making this a more comprehensive site.
Whenever a system is one sided like this, it will never be completely fair and honest. There is no reason.
You do work hard for your money. We work hard for ours too. When these fake "good" reviews are given, it hurts those of us who put in real effort into each session.

I guess I choose ladies well, because I have never had an issue with reviews or leveraging reviews.
Part of the screening process is how does the client rate other ladies. It is all relative. And a shame that it becomes an issue.
A review should be a celebration of a client and a provider's time together, not a competition to see who has a greater number. But, alas, the TER system reverts to numbers and that breeds trouble....
Ok, a bit of a newb here, but realistically, not every monger will hit it off with every provider. On the other hand, there will be great chemistry across a host of situations. So what's so bad that a monger is honest and says that the chemistry lacked? If we read the reviews and understand that every once in a while one of the humans, provider or monger, wasn't their best that time. Like a bunch of 8/9/10 with an isolated 6 or 7 for a lady in question, I would look at the reviewer and the "body of work" of the provider.
I would say that if we need to be honest about provider performance, why can't we just also admit that we mongers may have provoked a response? As I read these board posts, youze guys are teaching me what it is to be a hobbyist.
Good points, Whitney. But does your preference not to be reviewed hurt your marketing? Respectfully asking.
Reviews should definitely be honest. I thought I kinda got that point of my opinion about it across. Otherwise, girls with shitty service are getting business based on lies. Kinda like someone eating at a fancy restaurant just because it's expensive and all the cool kids are doing it, instead of going on the merit of the chef's actual food. No, everyone doesn't have chemistry.
1. If most of my business came from TER, it would probably make a difference in my business. But it doesn't.
2. There are too many things that can go wrong in a review. One of my regulars I've seen a shit ton of times in Boston forgot to say 'slid on the condom' before I climbed on top and I had 2 months of dudes showing up expecting bareback. It was a great review, it just left out a crucial part. He apologized and we laugh about it now lol.
3. If I were trying to see 4+ guys in a day, I'd probably want more reviews because, yes, every time a new review hits, your inbox gets full of appointment requests.
What I'm saying is that if the girl gets an 8, 9, or 10 because she's asked the guy to give it to her or whatever, that's not an earned score so the review is pointless, in turn, making the earned high scores pointless as well.
Every appointment isn't going to be great. It's your job as a hobbyist, and my job as a provider, to choose who we see wisely, kinda what the guy above you on the thread was trying to say. Talk on the phone before confirming the appointment. a 5 minute chat goes a long way. I try to choose guys who I feel good about after talking with. I check out who they've reviewed. I've checked out what they like. If I don't think we're gonna match, I don''t want him wasting his money, or me feeling shitty after an appointment. I feel bad when an appointment goes south
