So, understand that this is written from my perspective. I'm not a provider and I have no idea what it's like to be a provider. Fake reviews are wrong and cowardly. I believe that women should be protected. Yes there are some women that have issues, and I do my best to stay clear of the bad apples.  Nuff said.

There's been lots of discussion on the topic of reviews. It's difficult to know what is true and what is false. Personally, I find most of the reviews to be redundant and somewhat overstated. I posted a review years ago that was honest about the services provided, her being late by an hour, and after meeting her in person why I felt I had been mislead by photos of her that were clearly out of date. My inbox was flooded with hate mail by gentlemen and providers who were big fans of hers. Lesson learned. I try to promote those ladies that are legit and the ones that aren't tend to weed themselves out.

I've tried to take a flier on occasion, (TOFTT). I won't do that anymore as the last time I luckily escaped with a lighter pocket but no harm to my body.  This can still be a very sketchy and dangerous business for all those involved, so buyer beware and do your homework.

I try to use the law of averages when reading reviews. I read the highest rated and the lowest rated and then throw them out of the equation. I'm also leery of any reviews that describe a provider's performance that falls outside their norm, (if a "norm" is such a thing in this hobby). Basically, it's still a crap shoot but I do think they're useful if for no other reason than knowing a provider is legit.

Reviews that are mean-spirited and are obviously written from the perspective of someone who's angry, I pay no mind. Providers and hobbyists alike, we've all been wronged in this thing, you got to learn that that is part of the business as well. You can spot the crazies. We've seen them post on the boards.

I look to see if the provider was reportedly on time? Was time wasted? Did she answer her phone? Was she nice? Did she make an effort to make the appointment special?  Did she or does she smoke? Had she been drinking or did she seem like she was impaired by other substances? All things that are important to me AND as I said...on average and throw out the nonsense.

I do try to read between the lines. What was the mood like? Was it sensual, mechanical, business like? Was there a fantasy involved? Was there play-acting?

Lastly, YMMV is probably the best thing to keep in mind. I've met with highly reviewed providers AND there just wasn't that "magic".  It's cool.  It always comes down to chemistry between two individuals...or more. (wink)  Speaking for myself, if there's no chemistry, no big deal. Pay the lady and move on. There are plenty of women out there to spend time with.

It goes without saying that abuse, coercion, bribery, stalking, slander or any other behaviors that seem to be the ugly underbelly of this hobby is wrong and shouldn't be tolerated.

Be safe.
