Do any guys actually give a shit what page the current review of a lady is on, or do the ladies even care? Personally, I think it is a huge misconception that if a lady is on the top of page 1 or even 2 for a week that she is getting better appointment odds. When I choose a lady I look at her ad of course ( which runs it weekly course) but I look at 2-3-4 sometimes even 5 pages of ads/reviews when I'm on the hunt.

Than I look at reviews. The first five have just as much a shot of further interest as the last 5 on page 4 or 6. Most guys about to shell out $100-$500 are going to do research on ECCIE and elsewhere where reviews are. If a girl gets bumped from page 3 to page one either from a picture or a reply it doesn't mean anything to me.
So what is all this fuss about not just G-Man posting a picture but anyone who bumps a thread. Most guys look beyond the first page when choosing, so what is the big deal about the first page? Does it really make the girl more money? Are guys really that lazy that they will pick a page one girl and totally skip researching latter pages?
Well, I don't think it matters where the review is, what page it is on, if it was bumped by a WK saying ' way to go' or if GM posted a pic. NONE of those influence my decision. I can find her pics on my own and before I pay I'll research all her reviews, the one on page one, the one on page four and the ones in her profile which could be well over a month(s) ago..
Too much page one can also ' backfire'; if I want to see a lady and she has 7 reviews on pages 1-2, I might assume ( perhaps wrongly) that she is a factory taking back to back appointments and is ' too busy' so will focus my efforts elsewhere.
None of these matter to you. However, you're a veteran monger who knows how to search and research.
How many times have we had to remind someone "search" is your friend? Do lurkers read enough of CoEd and ML to pick up good habits? I've noticed recently that there is a sniping contest for last ad posted to Weekend Lineup before it closes so that their ad would be the one on top for the rest of the week (and visible as a blurb when looking at the list of Austin forums).
Given the premise that reviews do make a difference at all to a provider's business (except London's), does visibility make any difference? There will
always be an impulse buy market/segment, otherwise, the check out lanes at Walmart wouldn't be cluttered with gum, candy, and soda. It would be naive to think because our methods are immune, it makes no difference to others.
You look at ads, then a few pages of reviews. There were days when I browsed through reviews to find what I was looking for since reviews tend to have much more pertinent information about what I would base my decision on. Once I found someone that interested me (by going down the review section), I would do my research on her. If I didn't like what I read, I would continue down the review section.
Now, my post about Gman was hardly a fuss, but a reminder on what it
could look like to others who don't know what he does is not an official board position or an organized effort. As for bumping reviews, if it makes no difference, then why do we have a guideline to not bump a review older than 30 days?
