So, after I re-read the thread i think I might have missed the plot a bit.
I still stand by not reviewing a less enjoying punt for the following reasons:
I might have walked into a punt with expectations of a afternoon of mind blowing of delights and those expectations might not have been met,or maybe me and sp just did not click.
That does not mean that the lady is a poor sp.
But.
If general criteria are not met eg, poor hygiene, privacy etc. By all means, review. But it should be done respectfully and not in a derogatory way.

Reviews should be honest. If something sycked(not in a good way) you should say so. If the lady obviously lied about her age, photoshopped her pics and offered atrocious service, you should say so in the review..
Say it, but say it nicely. Constructive criticism doesn't mean being nasty.

On the flip side, it's important that advertisers do their part as well. A negative review should be every bit as important to an advertiser as a positive one. It shows her where she can improve.

WRT advertising, it should always be as honest as possible. What they see in your pics should be exactly what they get..it will certainly be what they expect.

I'm also not a fan of rating looks - face and body. One man's 1 is another's 5. It's extremely demeaning to the woman concerned and should be removed from the rating system.

I totally agree with you.

@Eazy a very good point you make .

@Eazy1 I think you are missing the point of a review. A review is not meant to be objective, but instead totally subjective. It is impossible to be objective about pretty much any metric, whether its face, body, service level etc, because everyone's expectations of those metrics differs and there is no objective standard against which you can measure them.

No, the point of a review is so that other people, who over time develop an affinity for your tastes, can see how you subjectively rated someone. For example, 5 guys visit WG X. 3 of them rate her looks a 5, 2 of them rate her a 3. You visit her yourself, and decide she is also a 5. You now have one small affinity data point with regards to those 3 reviewers. Over time you build up a repertoire of people whose reviews align with your own tastes. You're into feet and shemales? You pay attention to Ben Layden's reviews. You like curvy black ladies? Listen to garyj. You like skinny blonde white chicks? You listen to someone else. And so it goes on.

It is exactly the same with any review system for anything except scientific peer review, which is objective. But for movie reviews? You will find yourself trusting reviews by Ebert, but not Roper. Restaurant reviews? You trust Bob more than Bill. It is why review aggregators are so successful - if even a broad range of people who usually disagree on reviews all give something high scores, you know it must be good.

So yes, things like face, body etc are subjective, but that is the entire point of reviewing. Of course this works best with a broad range of people doing reviews, which is what the REAL problem with the current review system is - not enough people use it, or use it only in the extremes - every girl either gets 5 stars or 1. The review is either glowing, or scathing. A lot of peopel don't write their honest feelings because they may want to return to the girl, even if the service wasn't perfect, and don't want to "poison the well" by leaving a critical review.

@ Oraljim: Excellent!

Well said Oraljim. Now give THAT man a Bells!

That requires tine and dedication.
And yes, in time you'll figure who's tastes mirror your own.

There's more to it than that though. These ratings are of living, breathing human beings. Looks, more specifically face, can't be changed much. Attitude and service can. Reviewing or rating something that a lady has no power over is not simply unfair, it's disrespectful.

It's a bit of a catch 22.


On a side note,wrt appearance, the subjectivity makes the so called Top 10 pretty unreliable.

[QUOTE;621452;GreyKnight]
I saw a review recently where a punter reported honestly on his experience and it was not a shining, raving one for the lady. But he did not break her down or say anything demeaning towards her. Her response was not to attack him and say demeaning things to him, but rather she handled it with dignity and positive energy. I respect both of them enormously for that.

I also understand that this is not a perfect world and people will always differ and argue and competitors will try to break others down etc... I am not naive [QUOTE]

I also have respect for people who handle situations that could easily get out of hands in a mature calm manner, I wish I have handled my situation that way. I suppose I was more upset by the fact that someone fabricated lies just to bring negativity to my profile and the person is a friend to a lady who tried by all means to compete with me (going as far as contacting my clients for ratings) and tried discrediting me the other day on HufLungDung's unfair threat.

I could have just ignored his negativity knowing that people will just see that his comment was more spiteful that honest but I felt the urge to expose the guy for what he really is and that troubled my soul because it's not in my nature to deliberately say something hurtful to anyone and I intend to apologize to him for going public about his "weaknesses".

What I'm implying is that it's always important and necessary to think through first the words we want to say about others knowing that we can't take them back once we say them and being considerate of the impact our words can have on other people's feelings.
