Best way is read their TER reviews....As London said, they can track IP's and you'll get banned if you try and review yourself, which I like because there are too many providers out there giving themselves reviews!!
Picture this, you are sitting at the bar with 3 of your buddies and a hot chick walks by. There are 4 different views of that girl...some hot, some not, etc. Well, that is what the reviews are like...take them with a grain of salt. And that's ok. We all see things differently.
I was looking at one provider. Entered the business in June and had favorable reviews for a couple of months then no reviews at all since then. Then her ads were all over the map. Different descriptions (height from 5' to 5-6; weight from 110 to 125, prices for 200/hr to 500/hr; registrations with multiple agencies and as indy.....and some troubling discussion on the boards. That's a don't see.
I agree fatbastard. Take a review with a grain of salt. We all might have a different view or expericance with someone. I had a guy call me out stating that the girl in a review was not model material but to me she was. When doing research on a provider I usually go to several sources, TER is a usually plus.
All reviews are fiction? I suppose Penthouse Forum letters are fiction, too?? Next you are going to tell us Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny are fiction, too?
You should always rub one out before reading a review to decide if you want to see a provider (eat before you go shopping analogy).
It helps to make a list of who you want to see.......she has to be on your list for 60 days before you pull the trigger.....this will heighten your awareness to any baggage that you would otherwise have missed.
