Honest Question for Anyone and Everyone

I seldom post a review. When I see a provider and the session is over I only know if it pleased me. What I deem to be a satisfying experience may be considered by another to be a bummer.

Unless the provider acts totally indifferent to my needs I hesitate to post anything that may cause her to lose clients. She has a right, in my ipinion, to earn a living.

Actually, the reason I don't pay up is my wife deals with all the bills. The last thing I need is to have to explain something like this on a credit card statement. Originally Posted by LTS00000

A couple that I remember:

1. When at any store, and purchasing stuff for the home, always get some cash back. Works best at grocery stores from what I understand.
2. Always get more at ATM withdrawals than you intend to use.
3. You'll need to start a hobby kit, and find a place for cash and the kit that the SO won't stumble upon.

Others have done it. You can do it, too.

A brief note on a tangential issue:
I believe it was Charles who bemoaned there being only two option for recomendation.

Actually, if you edit after you post the review, you can go in and change the language of the recommendation. I have changef it to things like "a hesitant yes" to "an enthusiastic yes" to "OH HELL YEAH" That gives a little bit more info for the members without RoS access.

Just a suggestion.

I've been doing the extra cash back thing. I think what I also need to do is sink a few bucks into a prepaid credit card in case I need to do such a transaction that requires it (in furtherance of good times).

Thanks!

Check into Green Dot cards. But search this site before you purchase. There was a great thread on them not long ago. They do have some limits (I don't use them, so look for the thread). Some ladies and P411 take them, but make sure you understand what they take: there is the card, and there is the refill card. Under current federal law, to purchase the card you have to give up your id and ssn. However, you don't (I don't think) to purchase the refill.

In any event, happy whoring and hoarding.

Most have been solid B+/A- material; although, I've yet to recently find an ATF. Originally Posted by Cpalmson

Hmmm. . .don't know if it would help or hurt the board, but maybe a few more gradients would help when it comes to the recommendation portion of the review at the bottom, rather than just a "yes" or "no." Crossroads brings up a great idea, and I might try that next time if I am having a difficult time deciding.

How upset will folks get if they see: "MAYBE--Read the ROS"

I usually do any qualifying of my recommendation in the ROS portion of the review. Mostly because as others have stated, if she provided a standard session, she still gets the "yes" even if it was not stellar. Conversely she will get many kudos beyond the simple yes if she went the extra mile in the ROS.

I figure that works best because of the whole YMMV issue. Things I love in a session may not be that important to other guys, and things that annoy me, may not be that big of a deal to others, so you need to read the whole review and decide for yourself.

I know there are some folks that don't write reviews or purchase the premium upgrade, so they need to remember that what they see in a review from the public portions may have quite a bit of material they are missing, so they might not want to put too much power in that simple one word description at the bottom when making choices.

In terms of sugarcoating a review, i doubt the former happens very often, if at all. The latter, on the other hand.....

And in a lot of ways i think it's entirely understandable. Not necessarily from the ego perspective - to which a review becomes all too often a competition of male sexual prowess relative to prior reviewers. Is there anyone who doesn't think the number of orgasms delivered would take a precipitous drop if reviews weren't BCD? I mean, really. But when you meet a girl, a beautiful girl that appeals to you, that says all the right things to you, and is willing to have sex with you; a girl that you like and wish to see again, it's not easy to put out in a public forum that she's disorganized in her tcb abilities, or that her BJ was somewhat bland, and that while sweet and pleasant, she's not all that smart. So those things are likely to be sugarcoated somewhat.

From a review, all you really should take out of them is whether or not she's the girl in the pictures (if that's relevant), if she's reliable, and if she has an engaging personality. That, and what services she does and doesn't provide, obviously. Everything else is fluff that really gets into the YMMV areas of reviews.
