On P411 you can see how many 'OKs' a provider has given...

Does it just show the number of OK's, or can other ladies see exactly to whom you've given an OK? Originally Posted by Chevalier

It is more looks, personality, thinking the provider will mesh with what the guy is looking for, and a number of undefinable qualities.

This comment above hits it best. I personally look at reviews to see if what I am interested in is offered and what guys I may trust say in the review, plus the personality that comes out from comments and posts, and the photos. I like getting okays but have never really thought about if the girl gives many or not. I just want to know enough in advance to feel comfortable that a good time will be had by all (me and her).

I have to agree. I really don't care how many Ok's a provider has given out, as long as we enjoy our time together.
If someone is going to get hung up on the number of OK's a provider has given, they need to get a new hobby!

I don't even know if it is available for the men to see....does anyone know?
The number of Okays a provider has given is not available for clients to see.

You must be logged in as a P411 provider in order to view that information, and I am probably going to change it so you can only see that information when you are viewing the providers Okay on a client profile.... and not when you are just browsing through the providers.

Of course, it's easily removed completely if it appears to create any serious issues. Outside of offering a little (rather tame imo) fodder for gossip, I don't foresee it being a problem. I've been wrong before though!

I decided to put this information on the provider view so that the ladies have a slightly different snapshot of information, to help them in the screening process.

All feedback is welcome!

Sincerely,
Gina

It seems it might be useful, particularly if it showed up when viewing the lady's OK on a specific client profile. It's an indirect indication of whether she's "established" or not, if the other lady isn't familiar with her.

After all, we clients may give less weight to a review by someone who's written only one or two of them. Not because he's less "worthy," but because his conclusions may be less reliable if he hasn't seen a lot of other ladies in comparison to whom he can evaluate the lady being reviewed. When I first started seeing (and reviewing) Dallas independents, I thought any lady who didn't upsell or bait-and-switch was top-shelf GFE.

If I have seen a lady 4 times I only have 1 ok from her. Is this the way it works or am I supposed to have 4. Maybe a dumb question.
Did you request an OK each time? I don't know how they accumulate, but I bet she doesn't give you multiple OKs w/o a request.
If Gina says its a tool we are trying it and to use it the way Chevaliar suggests, then I can see it...I understand it...and it would be somewhat handy to have....I would assume so anyways. We all love and trust Gina, so we will see.

You can not recieve more then 1 'ok' however, you can ask the lady to update your 'ok' which means a newer one with a more current date will take the place of the old one.

I have only requested 1 time. If I have seen a girl 4 times I have only requested an ok 1 time. Am I supposed to request an ok every time I see her even though I have already gotten an ok? I am confused.

Providers can see all of your oks and if the only one you have is 3 years old, she might wonder if you've joined a LE agency since then (or something else that would make you a threatening client). If you most recent ok was in the past few months, she might assume that a change for the worse is less likely.

All of the above is pure speculation of course.

Got it. I did not read Tiffany's post, I was looking at her showcase wishing I was in OK so I could visit her and get an ok from her.

Once she updates your OK, your OK will have a newer OK date. This is an excellent way to keep your OKs up to date. Let face it, the more recent your OK date, the more likely a a "new" lady is willing to accept it as a valid OK.
