As far as I'm concerned, many "yes" reviews that go back several years, is a sure sign of good service with no drama.This! I am almost obsessive about reading reviews of my chosen provider of the day and reviews really help me gain reference for what's in store. Plus, it helps assure me that I am not about to see some fly by night flake.
In my experience, many times the provider has been in the same private incall location for several years. Stability, stability, stability! Originally Posted by RAMP

What I would worry about more would be the lack of reviews. Especially with a newbie provider. At least in my experience, a couple of reviews doesn't mean she is brand new to the bizz. She's no doubt been around for awhile, just in a different venue and possibly moving around because of past problems. If I can't find positive information on her from fellow hobbyist, I won't waste my time.Newbie providers make screening harder for guys, but everyone was a newbie once themselves. I think that the more reviews she has, the more easier it is to know if I want to see and spend my money on her.
More reviews gives me a better perspective of her experience and that our encounter would be more enjoyable. But I do understand how providers could worry about having a gazillion reviews and affect how we view them. I'm thinking she's a hell of a business woman! Originally Posted by hd

It is a sign to me to that she is on heading for a burnout too fast or she is just looking for some cash for an expense and as soon as she gets it, she is gone. Looking at the history of the new providers in the WW, most do not last 3 months if that long. I like the great reads in the reviews of the newbies, but I do not trust one review as a be all end all for me to see a provider. For the most part, I tend to wait out the flavor of the month girls and wait till they get established and hopefully get a membership on p411. For many newbies, after the newness wears off, it is the impressions SHE makes, not the one or two guys that review her, that makes or breaks her in this business as far as developing a repeat client base and a steady income.
But I will admit that if the pattern of reviews is too many in a short period, I may move on to another. Originally Posted by dtx/tn

There are some men who won't see a gal with gazillion reviews just as there are gents and hobbyists who like to see only board providers who have daily/ weekly/ monthly review quotas. It's usually all about branding/marketing.

If I can be blunt, I just prefer not to be, like, the 15th guy that day and risk suffering through an acute case of cockbreath. This is really more in my head than something I have actually experienced.
