Lack of Reviews or No Reviews

busternutzs's Avatar
Why are there so many guys that don't write reviews? I see that some guys will share Intel in the ISO section if an inquiry has been made. If they have seen a provider but they haven't or won't write a review.

Sometimes I wonder if anyone really knows what the last two letters of ECCIE mean. If you don't know it's INFORMATION EXCHANGE.

Is that not what this website for and why we are here? To exchange information so we can make better choices and to make the hobby safer, and more enjoyable.

Writing a review helps weed out the bad providers. If you don't write a review about bait and switch, a bad experience or rip off service the provider will continue because she has no need to change and we remain in the dark about her.

It also helps the good escorts to worthy of our business to thrive.

I did a few reviews and truthfully I just felt silly and decided it was not for me.
While I do appreciate the guys that write reviews, I just choose not to do them.
I will provide info when asked or if I think it's pertinent to a discussion, therefore I AM exchanging information.

It's Information Exchange...Reviews is nowhere in the title.

you can always just write reviews in a way that don't make you feel silly about yourself. that's what i try to do. i'm not all about giving you degenerates material for your spank bank, and i feel no need to go on about the dirty details for my own ego. i just try to provide information that i feel would be useful in evaluating a girl as a person and as a business entity.

as for not leaving a paper trail… i feel like that's a pretty weak excuse. if someone happens to find out that you're on here at all, you're already busted whether you wrote a review or not.

There are some folks on this board that have not written a review in years that I would trust their opinions and their knowledge far greater than some of the folks on here that have 15-20 reviews. Writing reviews does not make you hobby smart.

Oh, I agree jd, reviews CAN be written in ways that don't sound like chest-thumping and all out bragging. I just decided that I didn't like doing them and having the little number below my name telling how many I've seen, who and what I've done, etc.
And I'm single, no worries of who might find it.
Just didn't like it.

I'm MORE in agreement with CK though, the number of review counts DOES NOT mean you lack knowledge or that you aren't contributing.

As long as this thread was started as a way to get lurkers out, posting and adding to the knowledge base, I'm fine with it.
I just don't like hearing that you are not "paying your dues" if you're not reviewing.

Yeah I agree with CK
It all comes down to what you put in your reviews. I see a lot of reviews that I simply think to myself "this dude is full of shit"

If you're gonna sugar coat your reviews then I'd rather you not write any. Also Intel doesn't always come from reviews. I've read a lot from coed and request threads that share a lot.

What I was attempting to say was that it seems to come up all to often that someone does a review and has a bad experience. Then another member says yea I had a similar experience but never posted anything about his experience.

Then there are times when a guy saw as provider with bad reviews and he just didn`t do the research or an ISO to request intel.

All I`m saying is more info is better and if a guy does do a request for intel and someone says hey stay away from her. That`s great too at least he was saved from a wasting his money and from a bad experience.

CK,

You`re right as usual. Writing reviews doesn`t make anyone hobby smart but sharing information hopefully helps us to make do I dare say more intelligent decisions.

but, as has been said by our illustrious mod, reviews are the lifeblood of eccie.

You don't have to write reviews to be a valuable player on ECCIE. Those that only lurk and expect everyone else to give them knowledge are the ones that we should not cater to. A posting history is almost as valuable, if not equally so, as a review history as long as the postings are more than "Thanks for the review!" or "Looks like you had fun!". Those constant posts give me a pain. It's fine to do them but also contribute in the COED and ISO and ML.

That's why I write reviews.

Not only do they benefit us but they benefit the women as well. As an example, if more of us had written reviews on the providers in Lubbock, I think less people would complain about the lack of ladies since they would flock over here.

I wonder about the flip side. If I see a provider that has multiple reviews, and there is really nothing new for me to add, should I write a review? In that case I think the only thing of interest would be could I make her BBBJ more salacious than the last guy that wrote.

there's always something new to add, even if it's just confirmation of consistency.
