Did you know that your two posts written minutes one after another state two polar opposite opinions about the same thing?
So while I agree with what you first said, I disagree with what you said in your second post.
Obviously, not every encounter is going to be the same, but a review is suppose to be written so that anyone reading it has a good indication of what he is going to get ... not just looks, location and contact info, and not how well the reviewer can write a fictional story ...

1) reviews are whatever the writer wants them to be.
and since there are not any rules or objective evaluation criteria on
how they ARE SUPPOSED to be written, no one can say with 100% certaintity that
a) they ARE supposed to be a true objective recounting of an encounter between one or more guys and one or more providers,
b) they ARE NOT supposed to be truly objective, or
c) they ARE supposed to be a specific or variable mix of both.
2. thus, when i read a review, i realize that it's MOSTLY fiction and SOME reality in there.
so, if i believe what i read, it was "true" for me.
if i think it's fictional (including exaggerated for whatever reason), it was "not completely true" for me.
what you believe is what you believe, not something i decide for you.
take a review for whatever worth you read in a review.
thus, i stand behind my two posts.
If reviews are not suppose to be the reporting of one's actual encounter with a provider and just fiction, then why would there be any negative reviews posted? Who in their right mind would post a negative review as his fantasy?
Going with your version of what a review is (guess that means how one should take the legitimacy of your reviews then, right?), ... Also, given your history of commenting under reviews and the questions you ask, I think you would also prefer the real version of events as opposed to making shit up for view count.

if you dont know why someone "... in their right mind would post a negative review as his fantasy", i suggest you expand your concepts of what a review can be.
"guess that means how one should take the legitimacy of your reviews then, right?"
yes, by all means - question, laugh at, believe my reviews included. it only slightly matters to me.
my intent is my intent. i own it.
your understanding/reaction is yours. i suggest you own yours.
wrt to why i comment on some reviews, i ask questions to seek clarifications, not cos i want the reviews to be "true".
i love a great story, regardless if true or fictional.
thus, i stand behind my points of view.
and behind a woman when "walking her dog".
