My last review was glowing in context.  He liked me, I liked him.  We hung out, had a great time and then the scores are so mediocre, at best!  I just don,t get it!  I realize I should not let it bother me, but it does and I simply do not get the correlation to the review and the scores.

Most people will read the review itself and its "glowing" as you so eloquently put it. So it shouldn't reflect on you negatively.

As a matter of fact, I always read the reviews that have low scores first. If the review is glowing, then I just ignore the score. Plus, we all know a TER 9 on looks is probably a 7 in the real world for most hobbyists. The guy probably grades on the real world scale.

-  This was his first review in about 4 years;
-  He only has 6-7 reviews total; and
-  His other reviews are universally low (I didn't read any to see if the mismatch between description & score was common).

I always felt that that was  not a good way to proceed, but I guess I was wrong!  Should not judge someone by their review history but this proves me wrong!  Lol!  Lesson learned!

does make me wonder what it would take for one of these guys to put up a 8  or 9 much less a 10. Since you have the outstanding reputation you do,  it isnt going to hurt you. Best to just move on...lol
I know girls who have contacted these guys. They usually claim ignorance and say they thought a 6 or 7 was a good score..much better than they gave Suzie Q which was a 4...Ignoring the review is probably your best move Babe though appreciate this sure didnt make your morning..

way to knock down mediocre reviews is with a string of great ones.

said previous reviews being (on average) about 8/9

I don't understand your guy's scoring system, but people have different scales. His scale is depressing, but anyone who reads his reviews and sees the scores will know he scores low all the time.

The guy thought you looked nice (6) and that the performance was hot (7).  What would you have liked the scores to have been?  I have not written many reviews myself, so I am curious what you think.

Angelina I have never had the pleasure of meeting you but I always assumed when my references were being checked that my scoring was being looked into also? With the amount of great reviews you have I wouldn't loose any sleep over it. Most guys would not take one bad review as gospel!!

He probably thinks that 5 is the true average. Actually 70% is a C, which is average. That's the reason why I advocate giving a letter grade for performance.

as others have said his scores are always somewhat the same. To me, it balances out those 10/10 that may have been exaggerated and accounts for individual taste. You may have liked your encounter but to him it was meh.  

...than the numerical score.

...if he thinks he'll get another chance.

I definitely rate myself 10's across the bored...don't believe me try for yourself!

While others go by the literal TER descriptions.

My feeling is exactly the opposite: If I had a BAD experience, I will definitely write a review especially if my experience deviates from other hobbyists' experiences. My primary goal is to help fellow hobbyists put their hard-earned cash to good use, while yours seems to be currying favors with the providers. I guess you still haven't learned a thing after your forced hiatus.

and as for the 17 once in a lifetimes... I guess if you see 17 ladies only once each, it's automatically once in a lifetime for each?  

My first two reviews were scored lower than I would score them now... I didn't have VIP until after posting them. Without the context of reading how other people are reviewing providers, you look at the TER descriptions, weigh make a 6/7 seem like pretty darn good.  This guy probably didn't have VIP and lacked the proper context to give you the rating you deserved.

Each of those 17 women he's paid to fuck over the past six years are women who look way beyond what he (thinks he) could get if he didn't do P4P, and simply tried to get laid from out there in real life land - where every other guy is trying to get free pussy at... His 17 10's (mixing in a few hotties at 8's, 9's, etc,) are scored like this:

in appearance when you know that it is an inflated score. If that doesn't bother you, then a lower score shouldn't matter either. Then if you take a look at his other review scores, he is not exactly generous in the #'s department.  

I never complain about a 10, absolutely not! Lol!  I was not really complaining, just perplexed that's all!  It was early and I got my panties in a wad!  I admit it! Some whine with that coffee

But Sambuca and a Molson will due just fine  

In my opinion you shuold have higher scores than given but if you look at how he's scored in his other reviews you're right in there. Not sure if he's new and wants to make sure he has room to grade up if someone really hits if off with him or is trying to be true to the guidance or is just one of those stingy/critical people.

So what's the difference between my alias and my REAL handle? You can easily check out my review history under my alias just like my history under my handle.

The narrative of the review--the part that really counts--is good, in fact, glowing.  

It's tough when you're reading someone's assessment of you. But from my perspective, where I'm not the subject, his review doesn't seem that bad. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and he just didn't behold. I'd look at it as a lack of connection related to taste, but he is complimentary in other facets.

personally, I'd recommend not posting about individual reviews, unless they are obviously fraudulent or something.
When I see a lady calling-out an individual reviewer for a low score, it makes me pause before considering seeing her.  Makes me think, "what if I say something in a review that she doesn't like, or give a score that's a little low, will she call me out on the boards?"

Maybe not.  He described having a fantastic time.  And Angelina thought they had an enjoyable visit, too.  From that perspective, he may desire another visit, and she could grant his wish.  After all, they had a memorable time.  And even if he were to write another review (unlikely that he would), I sincerely doubt he would score her lower than this one.  It would also give Angelina an opportunity to "educate him" on her perspective on scoring.

I agree, and if you read my reviews they probably give the sense that I either don't understand the TER way of scoring or I am just a D'bag as you say!!!

Who thinks he knows it all, and insists on posting on topics he has no clues about. I guess he is back to being the pinata on the GD board. GaG, Nicky and Dr. Who are having a field day. Some people never change.

I am wary of perfect or near perfect scores

I've wondered about this as well. I mean you are not the only one this has happened to. It's actually quite common.

And that's all they seem to know how to do.

....i'll keep my answer short-ish mainly because i'm tired but a 7 is imo not a low score for performance or looks. And actually I'd call a '7' decent or kinda good even but just not amazing/stellar. 8 is definitely very good. In a nutshell I think if you write a review with glowing kick-ass content like what Angelina is going on about it wouldn't hurt if the numbers matched in kind.

While you may perceive Angelina's post to be a threAD, I politely beg to differ.

in a sea of 9's and 10s. If I see a provider's profile and they're mostly high ratings, a 7 would stand out and is usually the one I go to first. So if he wrote good stuff in there, it'll probably get noticed more with a lower score. Sounds a bit counterintuitive, but it's true.

... and everyone reads reviews on either end (+/-) of the range, but assume the truth is in the middle -- with the rest of your reviews.  My 2 c/
