Wanted to get feedback on a topic I’ve struggled with.  I’m fine with giving reviews that are either very good or very bad.  I figure in those cases the provider has earned it.  But I’m uncomfortable giving mediocre reviews.  It seems cruel to say things like “nice body but could have been better” or “not as pretty as her pictures” or gave a so-so BBBJ”.   How do others feel about this?  

Write those too. Especially noting slight or heavy weight gain. You can be gentle to suggest he pictures don’t quite match her current appearance.

Man, I feel the same way... especially after spending time on Twitter and seeing how many providers seem to dislike reviews in general (even if they themselves are well-reviewed). I know that some well-established ladies will take one's review history into consideration when screening, which is a distorting incentive. On the other hand, I do believe that reviews are valuable for anyone seeking a service, otherwise I wouldn't be here and leaving one occasionally. But on the OTHER other hand, mediocre reviews are perhaps by their very nature not valuable, UNLESS someone has seen the same provider on more than one occasion and she is *consistently* mediocre. This is different in other, less luxurious service industries, where a greater volume of data points can make a mean rating of mediocrity more meaningful.

Many people select who to see based off reviews.  If you don't plan on seeing this person again, write an honest review so the next person doesn't get surprised.  Items such as similarity to photos, tattoos, body shape/size, face, are all items anyone would want to read more about.  I read at least 10-15 reviews (if not more) before setting an appointment.  I also review every photo (including social media) to make sure I want to meet this lady.  

Be fair and write what you want other hobbiest to know about a provider. If the pics are not an accurate representation and the service wasn’t on par or better than your SO, then put it in your review for folks to know. It’s not being mean or unfair to the provider, it’s being real.

I know I spelld it wrong,just to piss of the liberal arts English majors in the crowd.  

My perspective is that of a fortunate fellow now solidly more than twice the age of most of the girls in this business...but it'd be shitty for me to tough-grade a 20-something at a socially, sexually, and economically formative point in her life.  If I were the type to write reviews, my motivation for doing it would likely be to help a young woman in what can be a tough business, not to highlight her flaws to the world.  It surprises me how clinical motherfuckers can be about such an intimate trade.  

So are you saying you don’t find any benefit or need to read other reviews? You go in blind and trust your personal experience reading ads emails or text with no other references such as reviews?

My only disagreement with you is I believe a review should state if anything is false about the provider based on the information they gave.  Aside from that a client is free to write whatever they choose and a client is free to read or not read them.

... is what you experience. I don't think it wise to second guess. If the provider is good overall, .the sum total of the reviews will reveal this. Reviews are meant to paint a general picture. Each of us must decide what outliers, if any, are deal-breakers for us. Withholding  a review because it might be unflattering is dishonest unless of course you value the provider relationship more than your own ethics.  

If you feel enough of a connection with a girl to feel bad about giving her an average review, then go with your gut and don’t write the review. What if you’re average review gets just three guys NOT to book her? You’re costing that young women maybe $1,000 in income? She’ll never be your ATF, but you had a good time. Don’t bring a guilt trip on yourself by panning her.   There are other guys here who will handle that task.

There’s really nothing unethical about withholding a review.  It’s not a matter of valuing the provider over your ethics.  It’s a matter of valuing the provider over some stranger you’ll never meet.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I had no idea I would start such a sh*t storm with my question.  Appreciate all the comments in several directions and appreciate the different perspectives.  

Seems any topic on this board starts a shitstorm. Lol.
Some cranky ppl on here when they aren't getting any...
It's a joke....for those who don't get it.  
Before I have ppl firing shots across my bow.

Ok reviews are often perceived as terrible by the ladies.  Few believe in constructive criticism.

I think it's important to be honest in your reviews, but I also think we can all agree there is a very negative "review culture" inherent to this site and many clients take it too far. A good portion of reviews read like bad erotic fiction. I'm not entirely sure if that's because clients feel they have to write that way or if this site won't post a review unless it looks that way...

That's where I'm landing.  Thanks, very good to get the perspective of the provider.  

4 years ago I was completely new to the hobby and met with provider. I thought I should start building my history, since I was a newbie, so I wrote a review that had great appreciation for what she did for me. I read that in the TER rules only to give 9's and 10's to the absolute best, so I rated her a 7/8. And boy did I pay for it.  

Hey there! Just tell the truth. Don't leave anything out. You've written over 100 kind reviews. One "off" review isn't going to be the end of the world. Not everyone is going to click or live up to your expectations. No one was harmed or ripped off. Share your experience with the other hobbyist.

Just be objective consistent and ethical.   You have written a lot of reviews and it is very helpful when someone has the ability to read a review written by an established reviewer such as yourself.  It is very easy to place things in the appropriate context vs reading a review on a lady written by a dude that has only written a few reviews and they are all the same.  If you have only seen her once for an hour then just put that in the review.
