How can review specials ever result in honest reviews?

Have you Ever heard of any monger given a "review special" rate who then turned around and gave an honest No review for sub par service?

Grasshopper you must realize that all reviews regardless of price can and will be wrong and greatly embellished.

My last yes review was about as objective and straight forward as they come. No one reading the ROS would ever say it was embellished upon or even flattering in any way.

I suppose my real question would be "Is there even any reason to bother reading a "Review Special" when it's basically a paid ad?"

I feel the same way about "review specials", that they are bought and paided for. It's why I have never done one. If guy wants to write a review on me I want it to be as real as possible and for him to feel like he can write whatever he chooses. If a provider wants to run a special it should just be that, a special.
All of my reviews are bullshit. I force every guy to write it at gunpoint before he ever even disrobes.

Reviews are bought and paid for? How about the advertisements we put up? Yes we advertise and sometimes that costs money. A review is just another form of advertisement. A review special is simple. The client has something I want, a favorable review, and I have something he wants, services for a discounted rate. So yes its implied that for the services provided, kind words are an exchange. I do reviewer specials because I like reviews. I am an exhibitionist and though I work in the shadows, that doesn't mean I don't like a bit of braggery. I like people knowing that I can deepthroat an 8 inch cock. Call it vain or arrogant or whatever, but I enjoy knowing that. I've even been known to write my own erotica from time to time.

So don't assume that any girl offering a special is just a bad provider trying to boost herself, there are a myriad of reasons for wanting details of your escapades documented. This is sex, it's supposed to be fun and glorious and reveled.

Is it a bit of a dick move to give a no on a review special? Yes
Is it even the right thing to do? Depends on how crazy the girl is.

That's a new twist. I'd always heard that the purpose of the review forum is so other mongers can make an informed decision about who to hire based upon accurate info.

How many of your reviews are inaccurate in that light?

I for one always give an honest review. I'm going to do a review special review on a young lady I seen this morning and it will be honest. She will be leaving tomorrow and I will be giving her a yes for recommendation because she gave me what I wanted
Believe me, I have given NO reviews before.

Offering a review special is a suggestion for a favorable review, and if the client isn't aware of that deal when he makes it, then he shouldn't be making it. It's another one of those unwritten rules. Review special is what it is. For clients, it can be an opportunity to see a girl they normally wouldn't. For girls, it can be a great way to boost business. If self promotion is a sin on this board, then we're all on our way to burning in hell.

Plus there is a whole other side to this. There are gentlemen that take advantage of a reviewer special for the rates and then never pay up on their end. Misconduct is not exclusive to one gender.

Even when its review specials I try to be honest as I enjoy writing them. All reviews for me are getting to write out the highlight reels from my perspective. When deciding on a provider I read multiple reviews to see if I notice a common issue like bad TCB, mechanical or rushed sessions.

All reviews should be taken with a grain of salt just like any review sites. When you see a consistent flow of Yes then you're inclined to believe she'll be a great provider. When I see it noted as a Review Special I don't see as overly bias but I know it'll highlight the best parts. Even if its a yes its always good to note in ROS or physical description some things to look out for.

Review specials are something else. I can see why mongers accept them. It's a discount. What I am saying is they don't count as credible reviews.

So, only "brutally honest" reviews and those "not flattering in any way" can possibly be honest? If your "yes" reviews are "not flattering in any way", then one must seriously question your research skills or your decision process. Why is it there are some guys who immediately respond to a negative review with, "thanks for the HONEST review". How often have you seen this people ever comment that a positive review is honest? It makes one wonder why some guys see escorts at all if they have already convinced themselves that all positive sessions are fictitious.

But the other reason your post is both myopic and insulting is you are accusing every single man of being able to be bought for $50 or so. That any guy will become intrinsically dishonest if a small number of dollars are waved in front of him. Makes me wonder how honest you see yourself if that is how you see everyone else.

One of the few poor experiences I had was years ago and I wrote an honest review that basically said she was absolutely gorgeous (which she was) but clearly would rather have been anywhere else other than with me. She contacted me and offered me a significant discount to see her and write another review. I did, and I did, and I said she was the same, still not worth it at the half-price.

I really wonder: in your suspicious view of all men's honesty, why would you ever believe any positive review? After all, since a discount price inherently makes men dishonest, wouldn't they just omit the fact that it was a review special? So I guess you need to skip over all reviews.

The question is how can an honest review be written when the reviewer was paid to write a favorable review? Pretty simple.

I also asked if you have ever seen a No recommendation on a review special.
Once again pretty straight forward.

You answered the topic from your perspective. Done

If you want to target the OP then at least have the balls to call it for what it is.

I was expressing my opinion on the Original Post. In doing so I also rather clearly answered both your questions. I am sorry they went past you so let me be more direct if that is what you want:

--I think your premise is flawed. They are "paid" to write a review, not a good review. The "review special" reviews should be as believable as that guys other reviews--no more, no less. They should be as honest as the person who wrote them.

--Yes I have seen "no" review special reviews. Some men do not sell out for $50.

As to your accusation of an "agenda", this is a board for opinions. All opinions have some sort of agenda. Your OP certainly did. So is your agenda fundamentally more better than mine or anyone else's?

Other than telling me I have an agenda, what part of my post did you disagree with?
