No, I used to write reviews back in the ASPD days. It is obvious that the majority of people don't agree with me. It is perfectly fine that the overwhelming majority of reviews are positive. For me, I have no confidence in them. It is a sign of the times ...everyone gets a trophy.
Bottom line, It was my mistake. I liked the pictures. I asked my friends about her and nobody knew her. I saw her anyway. I won't make that mistake again. If I haven't met her in advance or get a recommendation from a friend, I ain't seeing her.

A review or two of her skills may be helpful, several reviews by different members with her showing and having basically the same consistency in her all around service is a little better, but the best way is relying on other info about her possibly through back channel intel not found in reviews and even conversing with the provider herself, combining that with the reviews as well as her persona on the board to determine if you wish to see her or not. If there is no info on her, like most in the WW and new to providing, well, that is why it is called TOFFT. It does not mean you are going to have a bad time, just as there is no guarantee you will have a good time seeing a provider who is a popular VP on this site, has outstanding reviews, talks a great game and even your hobby friends recommend her.
