No Reviews!!

Ok I get that clients want to have some securities when it comes to choosing a provider, but every provider had to have her first review at some point! So other than "legal" reasons what would make a guy not want to be the first guy to see a girl & give her first review?

One big reason would be lack of information.

Chipper

Another reason would be he wants to keep her all to himself.

Most ladies hate them. I used to do them, but don't anymore. It's a matter of personal choice.

You might want to try offering a review special. Something like, $50/off your return visit if you review me"

Make sure you offer the discount for a RETURN visit

Once upon a time, I faithfully asked every provider I met with if she wanted me to post discreet reviews of our time together. Times have changed. With the recently passed legislation in Illinois (HB 6462) and released internal details of recent busts in MD, I no longer leave reviews. I can't afford the exposure and risk.

I realize the lack of reviews (and unwilling to post reviews) creates a hardship for new providers in the hobby.

Since I'm an old fart, I know and utilize methods and resources used before the invent of the Internet to identify, learn about, and secure appointments with providers.

Maybe I'm too paranoid but I no longer trust any hobby transaction that includes any component completed over the Internet. The Internet makes information readily available and it makes it easy to complete certain transactional aspects of the hobby. The Internet doesn't, however, allow (or permit) the transaction to be safe, secure and discreet.

Personally I do not like them.
1. Most men do not know how to write them.
2. Some men practically put your exact location.
3. Sad but true. Most BCD is not BCD. You will always find the gossipers.
4. Some men treat it like it's a popularity contest.
5. PJpenner explained that one.
So on and so on. I know it effects my business because most guys require reviews in order to see the girl. For me it's not worth it. Obviously I can't prevent them from doing so. All I really ask for is respect because that can go both ways.

XOXO,
Paulina

Truth goes further in the long run than bullshit!

Some of my best... oh heck most of my best times have been done the old fashion way. It is thru a friend usually whether it be male or female. Now I will not explain here how this is done but I am sure some of the old school kids know the routine. I use to refuse to have reviews about me and still am not crazy about them I have had fake ones so guys could get subscriptions to a site for free. EEEKKKK just really irritates the crap out of me. But now that I am wanting to tour I have on occassion asked for them but do it rarely. I am fortunate to have some great guys that will do this for me and I so appreciate them. I have always said I don't need a report card to tell me how great I am

naughtynatale.....nice viewpoint but the report card is not for u.....it is for us. this profession is about lies and mystery.....so rather than us being shocked or stiffed for our money, we would rather get what we pay for. if your clients say your the bomb....great talker, companion, not a rusher/clock watcher, multiple bells....then we want exactly that.

The "report card" is for both sides, no? A gent can see what he's getting, and a lady can see how she's being received, IMO. I don't mind them either way.

Come to Ohio, book a session with me for about $150.00 (fifty dollars off the prevailing rate) and as long as the service is on par for an ECCIE provider, I will write you an awesome review; despite Paulina's gross stereotyping in her post above, I can actually spin nouns, verbs and adjectives into a fairly enjoyable, yet informative and honest yarn.

To the question at hand, reasons I won't be the 1st to see a provider is simple. I don't want to get ripped off. If I have no knowledge about a provider, I'm not going to see her. Obviously if she is new to being a provider, she probably has limited skills and expectations. As I seasoned hobbyist, I know what to expect and pay. Many newbie providers have no clue. They will charge too much and provide too little. The ONLY way I would be the first to see a girl and write a review is if a provider I knew and trusted asked me to see one of her friend that is breaking into the business. I would then only do it if the girl was willing to provide the services I wanted. There is too much YMMV in this hobby and with a new girl it get amplified X 10.
