What do YOU think?? I wonder if maybe some gals are concerned about becoming a new provider and listing with Eccie because of all of the bickering on here?? Don't we have enough going on in our town that is negative (take a look at the local news each day) and/or depressing?
Using words like "repulsive" that over-emphasize your "point to get across" instead of "a little different and not as attractive in MY eyes in the looks department" or "appeared not as advertised and a bit on the unattractive side to me" is just being mean IMHO.
We all have different tastes here but I don't think being rude or mean in our choice of words to describe a provider or client is something that ANYONE likes to read.(If it IS truly something that bad I would guess it should be listed as an alert possibly)
For instance I have stretch marks. I don't particularly find them attractive at all. Not many women or men do. But, and as an example, using the expression" Looking like tracks after a train wreck" is IMHO being both rude and harsh when a person could say something like, " Stretch marks in all of the places you"d expect after one has a child or children".
EXAMPLE:
I take my own pics which will change shortly here. I had some miss-diagnosed heart conditions and was placed on medication that had me gaining weight like a hungry hippo. I posted as a BBW and caught flack (which by the way was kinda nice) because most didn't think I qualified in that category. When I do have them taken by another source, I have in the past and will in the near future, be careful to let that person know that photo-shopping them won't be an option as I do not want to falsely advertise. I'm not saying that some providers do or don't use this technique I'm just saying that I won't.
Back to subject and question....
Unless obvious deception was at hand:
What do you all as both providers and clients consider as "terms" and "verbiage" that would be both FAIR and TRUE to use in describing "not so admirable items" in a post or a review???
(Now if something is grossly wrong that would be different. I'm talking here about things of a nature where it's a matter of personal preference.)
Oh yes, and by the way, most of us...providers and clients...can usually tell when someone is dogging a person in an attempt to harm their acceptance by others vs. giving out helpful information (whether good or not so good) to assist someone in the decision making process... so keep in mind :
"To belittle is 'to Be little'".
