We cross-reference, Jennifer. Cross-reference against the lady’s other reviews. Cross-reference the reviewers’ other reviews. So one bad review isn’t fatal.
We also cross-reference against reality, too. There are tip-offs within the review itself about what probably happened, like if there are signs the guy’s attitude sucked going in and that poisoned the whole session. Or if the girl has already had three orgasms 20 minutes into the session, you know somebody’s shining it on.
It can be a tricky process, though. Take my one measly, little review. That lady was my primary for a good while before I decided to go almost exclusively UTR/GFE. Well, my review is pretty good. Her next review is damning. It’s so bad it actually made me wince. Who’s telling the truth? He’s got way more reviews than me (who doesn’t?), so he automatically has more credibility. And his reviews aren’t all negative and they’re not all glowing, so has even more credibility as a reviewer than I do. So it’s him, right?
Well, maybe it’s both of us. Because I did accurately describe our sessions, and actually, I held back.
Closer to the truth? By the time the next reviewer saw her, she was going through a tough time personally and she was burning out professionally. So I’m sure he did have a horrible session.
But I wouldn’t know how bad her sessions were getting because, even though I wasn’t seeing her as much, our sessions were still good and getting even better. A discerning reader would have factored in that I said I was a regular and being a regular can skew things dramatically.
Most of us know a review is a snapshot of a particular moment on a particular day. And YMMV is more than a lazy acronym. Long story short, one bad review might be a personal and professional insult, but don’t get blinded by it because it’s not a business killer for most clients. We’re looking for patterns, not singular events
