A suggestion regarding reviews

2wheels2fun's Avatar
A primary reason I do not write reviews is the "Recommendation Yes or No" option. In my experience, rarely can the answer to that question be so blatantly binary. If you read the BCD on the one review I have written, you might find it odd that I gave it a yes recommendation. Perhaps a better a better approach would be a sliding scale of 1 to 10. 10 being "Withdraw your life savings and schedule the longest appointment that money will get you" and 1 being "stay home and watch porno on the roku." Back to my one review, that might be a 5 on a 1 to 10 scale, 6 if I'm feeling generous. I would feel much more honest about that option than a yes or no. The mods already have their hands full with all of us perverts, so suggesting a change to the format may be asking too much. I'm curious what y'all think.

I like the idea of the 1 to 10 scale because some of the women are the total all around package and some are really good at a few of the things you are looking for in an encounter.

I think it should be a two tier answer. Like would you recommend this provider yes/no and would you see this provider again yes/no.

The problem with any scale is defining what the "numbers" mean. What is the difference between a 7 and an 8? Generally it is completely subjective.

In essence you have a numerical scale now: YES = 2, NO = 1. Look at the arguments on TER about inflation, subjectivity, etc. Make this a numerical scale and exactly the same thing will happen here.

I know it takes a little more effort, but the best "scale" is to take the time to write a good descriptive/explanatory narrative. That way you can say her face and welcoming personality were outstanding, the incall and certain activities were very good, other activities were OK, but her voice was scratchy and the faint smell of smoke distracted. That way the reader can assess whether for him, the negatives do or do not detract from the positives. Oh, that's right, we can (and should) do that in reviews now.

By the way, look at a lot of the reviews that do elaborate at times with more than "YES" or "NO."

I agree with Old T on this one. The ROS should tell the story. I have given a yes review for one girl who did nothing wrong and provided excellent service but was not my cup of tea and I will never see again. I made the point very clear she deserved a yes even though to me she was a no. The RoS is where you explain these things. You explain what she did right or wrong and why.

If you are too lazy to write a solid review with HONEST information. Then do everyone a favor and just dont write the review. If you are going to write one you owe your fellow hobbyists and the girl in question a responsibility to write a solid, honest review. There is no need for a sliding scale because in the end its a simple yes or no.
You can choose Yes/No & post. Then make a quick edit to describe your recommendation in more detail. A little more work, but it fulfills your request.

That's why some recommendations will say "Hell Yes!!", or "Yes with reservations", etc.

Not sure if that counts towards not getting PA credit, but it is an option if you don't want to leave a recommendation for the provider. But like stated above my post here, I usually edit and make a custom remark.
