If the provider's performance is excellent, once in a while, I would round up her appearance score. For example, if the performance score is 9, and I think her looks is better than a 7 but not attractive enough to be an 8, I would give her an 8. On the other hand, if I find her performance unsatisfactory, I would round down her looks score occasionally. I try to separate the two but it's hard due to human nature.

Do you guys let a provider's looks affect your rating on her performance?  I guess rating performance should really be based on a girl's performance in bed but when a girl is only above average in looks, I am hesitate to give her a 10 in performance even if she does everything in bed with a passion and it is like being in a porn film.  I have seen girls in the past where their looks are only above average and probably merit a 7 but they are wild and crazy in bed and blow me away and I end up giving them a 9 in performance but if they were more attractive, I would have given them a "10".  I know it is a minor point but I do wonder whether other hobbyist are letting appearance affect the performance rating.

...unless the provider allows you to post a video.

Looks are important but everyone has their own biases and preferances so what may be a "7" to you might be a "9" to me.  Most all providers post pictures and, if you are like me, we base our decisions on how the provider looks on their website.  If the pictures are accurate or not, or are old or new usually are enough info for most of us.  

Performance however, can't be displayed.  Members rely on the reviews to determine if the provider is what they are looking for.  We need to be specific and impartial in rating and writing our reviews, otherwise we can be missing out on some fine providers or disappointed in some others.

You try to remain (I hope) as objective as possible, but the visuals do end up impacting the final results. If she looks SO hot performing a mediocre BJ, that will mentally affect your rating, and maybe rightly so (within limits). That's why the numbers are of limited use (more because it seems we have a 5 point system: everything below 7 and 7-100. This is why the reviews are key.

If she looks hot, I performer better. My improved performance heightens the total experience even if she just lay there and let me have my way with her. Too bad TER does not have a score for total experience.

So in other words, if a lady is just average, or maybe a little above average in looks, you have no problem potentially impacting her livelihood by lowballing her performance, which is in fact completely independent of her looks? Nice. Just stick to the super hotties then if that is the case. The average ladies don't need your lowball scores to mess up their averages. You aren't doing her any favors by downgrading her performance based on appearance when appearance has its own category already.

I guess I could say that my performance has been adversely affected by her appearance. I have had a quite physically attractive girl who was so trashed up with Tattoos, that were not shown in her ad pix, that I just found her unattractive enough to have a hard time getting it up. And she performed like a champ, but it was almost asexual. Then again I have had an older woman with no where near the body give me one of the best bunch of orgasms (yes a bunch!) I have ever had. Anyway- No one gets a ten unless I have a coronary.

Obviously I don't write reviews but I have been in the business for over 6 yrs now and would HAVE to say a hot women will get often a better performance score based on that.
