I have been ROBBED... by a review

Hello to the ECCIE community,
I recently joined this review board and if your new like me you know how some hobbyists (not all, they're are some great guys) will try and use a review to have their way....

My last review was from a hobbyist who tried to use a bad review as leverage or should I say blackmail to get his way with me, initially we agreed on 250 for the hour, when he arrived he wanted me to do a long list of services which was fine but when the hour was over he told me he needed $40 for his cab ride home, I was totally shocked when he said if I didn't he would write a bad review and ruin my name and reputation on this review board, I was so upset I didn't know what to do I told him no way and that he could not have my donation back, he repeated that he would "do me in" because I was new on the review board and he walked out, I felt totally helpless...

I spoke to a close friend(also a VP) about my incident and she explained that this happens sometimes and the only thing to do is be nice and polite about the situation, but also be assertive and firm with your client. To all those ladies out there who have fallen victim to this I feel for you...

my question to the board:
Is this what I should be expecting on this review board or is this just one asshole ???

Feedback is appreciated. Thank you R.M.
He's a wanker, tell him to fuck off...Let him write his false review, if you have a good reputation for yourself then guys will see through the bullshit. x

To be truthful if it was fake I think he would've slammed you a lot harder. It certainly didn't do you in. What are you trying to say is fake about it anyway.

My wife sees to the point, and while she's a being a bit cheeky and is in need of a good hard fucking to lighten her mood, that shouldn't detract from her point...that being that if true, your statements will be born out in time and your reputation will not be damaged by anything said here...

Don't worry about the a-holes. Do your best. Get good reviews and you'll be alright.

I truly believe this happened to you. In society, women have always had the "POWER OF THE P****Y". Now comes ECCIE and the Review. The Review has now flipped this power back to the male. And as in society, this hobby has it's A**-holes. There are accounts of other Hobbyist trying to get Providers to discount their Donations based on the exchange of writing a good review. The system is ripe for abuse! The Griffin Question of the Day should be "how do we monitor and address this abuse?"

On the opposite side, as a Hobbyist, three of my last four Providers have begged for a good review. I was going to do a review, it would have been respectful and true, until they pressured me to write the review. One Provider wants me to email my review to her prior to me posting on ECCIE. What the F***. (she told me that she has a way to read the ROS that is normally hidden from Providers.) In my 25 years as a Hobbyist, this new occurence has made the end of my recent dates less fun. Less of a date and more of a business transaction.

In a national forum thread, I commented on the addition to ECCIE for Providers to review Hobbyist. If ECCIE were to consent, this may bring the abuse of reviewers to a halt.


I have admired your showcase for a few weeks. A heart breaker for sure. Best of luck!

Yeah...I checked out your showcase and emailed you. I didn't even get a response back so...meh!!

If you step up your tcb/customer service and always provide consistently good sessions, one bad review won't hurt you too bad.

Who takes a cab to see a provider anyway?

He is an ass and many of the guys here try to use this board as some sort of leverage, just smile, ignore them and get them the hell out, also keep your funds, lol.

Assholes come in all colors, ijs.
He is just one asshole. Not every guy is like that. You just need to make sure you screen really good. You did your part and that's all you can offer...if he wants to be a dickhead and mess with you because you're new...don't let him. One bad review isn't going to hurt your business. You're new and being new will keep you busy I promise you...plus you're not ugly or fat so your phone will ring and ring and ring LOL!!! Just be nice and respectful and you'll do fine. Every new girl is bound to have at least one asshole show up. Be careful and I hope this helps.
