Personally I try to be as honest as possible about my interactions with providers.  This is especially the case when a provider has a flawless record of reviews and appears to be on the popular side.  However recently I've seen a couple of traditionally popular providers they gave half-assed lackluster performances.  I didnt feel pressure to report anything other than my truest heartfelt opinions.  I received some flack from their regulars, which I thought was laughable, and decided to post this question:

Do you feel pressure to write a good review for a popular provider by which you had a pretty sorry experience?

I feel like I paid my money thusly it's my right to state their service was weak.

Perhaps the lady is having a bad day. We tend to forget that our ladies have personal lives ,just like we do. Its quite possible that before you saw her ,something unpleasant occurred in her life . As a result ,her mind may be somewhere else dealing with the issue.

Just be glad the lady didn't make you her personal campaign because you gave her an 7/8 instead of a 9/10.

There are more than a handful of long-term well-reviewed providers that are much older (and/or heavier) than indicated by their photos, profile, etc. and the chumps keep posting superlative reviews. In my earlier times I would have taken these ladies ads at face value. All it takes is a few months and a few experiences and I now cast a pretty jaundiced eye at certain ads.

Which is too bad as some ladies are very WYSIWYG, which I personally appreciate.

All you can do is write YOUR review and move on. Your question is like asking for a solid definition of GFE/PSE.

All you can do is be as objective as you can in a business that is intrinsicly subjective.  There can be a lot of reasons why your experience was different.  She had an off day.  Your expectations were out of synch with her reality, she hasn't updated her photos, etc. in a while, you did incomplete homework, or what frustrates me a lot her TER profile was accurate when written in 2004 but she's changed.

An honest review is always written with the biases of the customer, we can't help it.  Sometimes a lesser review than her "norm" is deserved, and sometimes it's an intent to bash because a provider wouldn't bend her rules for a guy.  Write what you think is fair, ensuring you account for any part of the session that was degraded through your fault as well as what was her fault or no fault, and then walk away.  That's all you have control over.

Easy answer to that one.  A guy gets to know a particular lady, becomes friends with her, sees her very differently than the reviewer.  It's to be expected, even if not "correct".

a few reviewers, very few, also have such a vested interest in some providers that they are "in effect" on the supply side of the business. they get tangible benefits and become compromised.

I think that there is some truth to what you say. The real art, for a hobbyist attempting to make sense of the reviews, is to know how to weight the negative reviews that occasionally pop up on an otherwise well reviewed ladies profile.

I always check to see if the gent who posted the negative review is either new or has a pattern of lower review scores or being hard to please. If either is true I totally discount the negative review.

Otherwise, if a lady with a good "average" has an occasional, scattered negative review, I don't think too much of it. Providers are not machines and the hobby is not an assembly line.  There are also occasional client side variances which may account for some of the anomalous reviews.  

The one instance where I take the negative review very seriously is where a trend appears especially in performance scores. If there is a downward trend or a recent, "consistent" inconsistency, that is worthy of note.

I rather suspect that most of the experienced reviewers take a similar approach in parsing reviews.

Therefore, I do not see any upside in a lady or her entourage making trouble over the occasional negative review. That kind of behavior is far more off putting than an occasional below average or negative review on her profile.  Providers (and / or their "in group") who pressure reviewers are
potentially dangerous in my view, especially if you have given out any real information leading, and are to be avoided, even if their service is usually top notch....

Perhaps she should hint at these things before having individuals fork over their hard-earned capital.

"Discretion in writing a review is also very important. If a lady does something special for you (say, gives you extra time for free), use your judgement when writing the review."

 Mentioning she is not a clock watcher is OK .
Mentioning in your review, you spent the night for free would not be cool.
If her reviews say CBJ and she gives you BBBJ it is best left out of your review.

Valjjj Im probably going to take the ladies side on this and see where it goes,
First of all Im surprised that there aren't more variances in review based on what
are horror story some of the ladies have told me about some of the
clients they get and the pitiful hygiene and or physical appearance that they must
see. Im just saying guys if your breath is minty fresh, clean shaven, and your
clothes have been bought in the 21st century it goes a long way in getting a maximum
performance from the lady's. Yes I know its a revelation but women want to be  with men
that are in decent physical shape, dress nice and have good grooming habits. It works for
me. Oh and one more thing ,yeah Ive been disappointed by pics but often Im pleasantly
surprised when they look a whole lot better in person. NOTHING PERSONAL.

Some women have done just that, and then get slammed for "making up excuses to get out of an apointment".  So they often feel they are trapped in trying to guess whether a guy will be more upset by the truth or fiction, whether CXing because of what might happen or risking what might happen.

And then there are those times she was having a perfectly fine day until the guy showed up.

I'm sure I speak for the majority when I say please make up excuses to get out of the appt. as opposed to taking my $300 or so for the hour and giving a shitty performance.
