I suspect a lot of ladies have a love/hate relationship with reviews. Good ones can help them grow their business. Bad ones can hurt business and they can't control or even know what was said about them to make a review "bad". Sometimes untruthful things can be said. And of course some ladies don't want them at all. In another thread it seemed like there was some anti-review sentiment bubbling up (from clients though, not providers). I hope this doesn't turn into an argument, but it might. I suspect it will be a controversial topic, at least.
I'll tell you my view. Not to say that my way of doing things is better than anyone else's, just that it's mine and what works for me.
I don't review because I need to. I have lifetime premium access, so I need no premium access credit from doing reviews. I do them, I think, for three reasons:
I like to help the ladies I've enjoyed by giving them a review to showcase them. I try to portray them as the human beings they are, not just a list of physical attributes and activities. Maybe that comes across, maybe not, but I do try.
Of course I want to help my fellow hobbyists so they know what to expect and I hope it assists with their decision making. I know it has with mine when I've read the reviews of many other guys here.
Finally, they serve to jog my memory. Both for reminiscing over great experiences I've had, and to remind myself of any details I need to know about a lady's preferences, etc. if I'm going to see her and it's been a while.
I guess they do seem a bit like Penthouse Forum letters because I think they are the most useful if I can bring them to life by making them entertaining and interesting. But I can see where some might find that off-putting.
Probably to my discredit, I've never given a "no" review. Mostly that's because I haven't had any experiences I considered worthy of a "no". I almost always find enough to like that it's a yes, to one degree or another. There was one that I would have given a no had I posted a review on her, but it seemed like it was just a lack of chemistry between us and I'm not going to trash someone for that.
I *never* post reviews on ladies that don't want them. If I know they don't want them, I don't post them, period, and if I'm not sure if they want reviews, I ask. But that's not usually necessary because most ladies ask me to write them before I say anything.
It would be interesting to hear other clients' thoughts about their reviews (or not doing reviews as the case may be).
