This thought has been running thru my mind, How many reviews are enough?
How many reviews does it take to make your self known? When is enough enough?

Great question Carlie! I have always wondered the same thing too. This should be interesting.

If a Lady gets a great review, and her service continues to be at that level, well, one review is probably enough.

Since many of you Ladies have access to the BCD Rest of the Story, you are aware that opinions vary. Certain guys will have an outstanding session with a Lady, others will chime in and say she isn't all that great.

Reviews are at their most valuable when they expose a Provider for not being what she advertises, whether it be B&S, non GFE if she says she is, up selling, CBJ if not indicated, bad hygiene, etc.

We have many Providers who have a review every week, (or so it seems). Nothing changes, same thing, every time. That gets pretty redundent.

I personally think a reputable review a month might be OK, that way Hobbyist are able to get a good idea what to expect if they decide to go in.

... but I've seen a lady that had over 25 pages of reviews. NO offense to anyone but why would anyone want to advertise that they have seen that many guys? Isn't one well-reviewed/reputable after they have hit 5 or 10 pages or do they need more proof? OR is it simply a marketing tool?

Very well said!

There is no such thing as "enough". Many gentleman like to see a consistent pattern of good reviews before seeing a lady, and most of them want to see recent reviews. If you said "ok, I have enough, everybody stop reviewing now", then a year later the lady could have gained fifty pounds and become burnt out with giving good service. What if her menu has changed and now shes not GFE? So I think it's important that our list of reviews stays current. Otherwise a guy may not want to chance it on a lady with just old reviews

Eccie Addict · 01-29-2011, 08:42 AM

I feel the same as Jackie.

Just like you ladies want our references to be recent to ensure that notging about our demeanor has changed. It will make us comfortable to see that someone has seen you recently.

However, I think a provider that has 3 or 4 reviews on the first page here is a bit ridiculous.

+1.

After 3 years of consistent reviews, I do feel that I have enough; however, I prefer to get at least one a month to show that pattern of performance and service is still continuing. Many things can happen over the course of a year and who knows if that girl you met last year will evolve into someone else....whether because of substance abuse, a tragedy, pregnancy, whatever.

Guys who do rely only on reviews are missing out on some of the best companions out there though, as many women who make the big bucks have ZERO reviews. Obviously there are more ways to get business than from the boards alone. Some of my best clients were actually referred to me by other ladies and gents that don't post on review boards....THANK YOU!

I wholeheartedly agree. Or to warn of ripp offs. Anything beyond that is a YMMV anyhow. Although in a system that lives of reviews its ok to even be redundant, because it shows you are up to date. It might be strange to read a review from 5 years ago and wonder if its still valid? I think the point wiht redundancy is to find out if there are some extreme changes within the service , for exapmple one review is very good , the next extremely bad . so it might be a trigger for moody providers or not reliable services.

Amen!

I do agree that relying only on reviews tends to limit you. Just like you ladies, we need something to go on, reviews, a ref from someone we trust....something. We can't just call your job and verify your are you say you are lol. Well I guess that is kind of what we already do but you know what I'm saying

London Rayne · 01-29-2011, 09:08 AM

True, but you know as well as I do that a girl could have 100 reviews all saying she was great and you not like her. Reviews should always be taken with a grain of salt and judged by the reviewer. If a guy has a pattern of saying every girl he met was a 10/10, I would not think his word counted for much. 10 suggests perfect or the best, and if he has that every day, something is off. Same goes with a guy who is overly critical and only looks for the one bad thing on a nearly perfect experience. His word would also mean nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Eccie Addict · 01-29-2011, 09:14 AM

I agree completely. This thing is ultimately YMMV and WALDT so I know firsthand that reviews are ultimately only good to show that you are active and still available. Believe it or not for some ladies....reviews are the only info out there on them.

Naomi4u · 01-29-2011, 09:17 AM

Very well said London!

I have had regulars complain about well-reviewed providers and their arrogant attitude. One guy told me that a provider sent him a nasty email because he didn't give her a "10" on TER. She had all "10s". It's like gambling..you never know until you try.
One man's "10" is another man's "5".

London Rayne · 01-29-2011, 09:21 AM

I also think that is absurd lol. Girls griping about not getting a certain score because in their own mind they think they are all that and should. Bottom line...it's not YOU, but who you see lol. Not every guy is going to like you, find you attractive, or think you hung the moon. I am so glad that those things don't bother me anymore. If you let a hobbyist's opinion determine who and what you are, you need therapy.
