The male EGO is pretty fragile when it comes to intimacy. It's why hobbyists have stated things like "providers are not real". Hey, I'm just pointing this out and it doesn't mean all men have this issue. It is what it is.
I used to be an over Ego stroker, but it just tends to perpetuate false ideas and sort of helps gents stay stuck in the dark ages concerning our roles in this world. I can still stroke an Ego like nobody's biz, and everyone has at least one good quality even if they don't show it to me, but I try hard to limit my stroking to that which deserves being stroked.
And, I agree with Piper Posh's attitude concerning gratitude for that which you guys seem to seek 24/7, yet gripe not only when ya don't get it, but even when ya get it and it's good, or even great. LOL Nothing says DB, like a guy who reviews a lady, brags about his multi-pops and prowess, then gives a NO, because of something stupid, like she had a hair out of place. (Yes, that was a little sarcastic, but DBs don't always keep it real either. LOL)
A gentleman earlier referred to reviewing restaurants. No one wishes to make an effort to wait on the table of a guest in a restaurant that has been known to be an a**hat to other staff, even if they tipped well. They dread it and will even try to bribe another staff member to take their table. Believe it or not, that and similar things occur. Restaurants may not review their patrons, but they still have their own way of dealing with folks who are unpleasant. This includes telling all the other staff members just exactly why that guest was an a**hat. ijs
As far as reviewing gents, I believe, just as I believe for reviews of ladies. Intimate details between two parties are just that. Between the two parties. It's fine to give accurate details, and services one can expect, and then have a "limited" comment section for issues or extra details either party may have found undesirable or above and beyond the expected or acceptable. All the other stuff is just fluff and subjective to individual perception and memory. And, while I am grateful to have a place to put my ads, a tiny more equality would be nice. Men have the ISO to place an ad, but ladies do not have a way to say, "Offer some mouth wash or a shower, otherwise the gent was awesome!" I practically swear the ladies to secrecy and send over documents of do not disclose, because I don't want to hurt a gent's feelings or even become the target of unwarranted attacks, because I was trying to help another lady out and don't want them pissed at me either, because I didn't tell them enough to make what they felt was an informed decision. Safety is the most important issue when deciding to see a gent, but it is by far not the only thing we might use to decide for ourselves who we wish to see and who we don't.

It's all socialized onto us, our rigid sexual role expectations. And having to walk on eggshells so as not to "rock the boat" here must really suck. It may be the nature of the beast, but some places seem to make it more mandatory than others. This site really seems to embrace it.
