Why I am reluctant to post reviews

[runlong]

I have been a member here for a long time. And I appreciate the reviews. While some that provided good service to others may not have clicked with me, I understand YMMV.

And using the reviews I have definitely been able to avoid some train wrecks.

Last week I posted a review and within an hour of it going up, I started getting texts from the girl in the review. It was not a bad review. Not great. Tried to describe the session as well as the service and whether there was any chemistry. But then i start getting texts about it from somebody? No thanks. Don't need that sort of hassle.

 

[Jethro Bodine]

That's unfortunate.
Where is the review? I don't see it.
That's why you shouldn't advertise your handle to gals you see.

Reviewing some of these ladies can be tricky and I have experience this myself.

One review was very positive about the lady, how I gave out what I thought was her standard price, and her standard menu. The next visit I had with her I received her standard price and her standard menu.

I also find if you truthful about the level of services, that can also get you in some trouble. Now most of my negative info I pass ago, is done through private message.

It's really unfortunate that you feel that way. I wish you would reconsider as your input is valuable to other members. You're not the only one, the most I hear from people that I see, are that they are afraid of being attacked, called a shill or be made fun of for posting. So, they read and don't post at all.

I think it's sad that a lady wouldn't take your criticism constructively and opt to attack you by text message or in public on the board. It shouldn't be that way. Some posters have very little tact and get off on writing negative reviews or seek to have these negative experiences just to write about them and get off on the attention they get for writing them. Whatever the reason is, it's in poor taste to attack someone for giving their honest opinion about their experiences.

This isn't a cheap thing to do. It's a costly habit and out of respect for what it costs to spend time with someone, you should be able to post about your experience. I'm not saying this gives anyone the right to attack someone viciously, write about them in a slanderous way or whatever. What I wish is that men would consider the damage their comments can do to someone ( you're affecting someone's livelihood and in some cases taking food out of their mouth at the expense of propping yourself up. ) and consider leaving instead of going through with a session with someone if you're disappointed. In some cases, it is totally warranted and understandable and in the interest and benefit to other members, I get that. Maybe you should consider what it be like if the shoe was on the other foot, and what we would say about you if given the opportunity. As clients, you have your anonymity and privacy and we barely have any. So, some small respect and tact with the use of language or negative descriptions of a lady goes a long way. I'm not saying that a pissed of escort with hurt feelings would really know the difference either. We as escorts need reviews and contributions of members good or bad whether we realise it or not.


I get that some women have their feelings hurt (I feel if a lady's feelings are easily hurt especially concerning an image based business and they're sensitive about their image, they should't be in it or grow some thicker skin or get a better image) and they want to lash out and I understand completely that there are 3 sides to the story. As providers, we aren't really allowed to give our version of events either without it turning into serious drama. The provider should understand that even a bad review can good for your business as some people will want to find out for themselves, and also take into consideration whom the person is writing the review. Often, I see that the people that are writing bad reviews are always writing them and hardly have anything positive to contribute. They're never happy or shopping for champagne at the dollar store. Meaning, that they probably could have seen it coming and set themselves up for it and shouldn't be at all surprised when it isn't good. Or, if they have such high standards for a provider to see a high quality provider rather than taking a chance on one that clearly isn't. I'm not saying this is the case with you, this is just my observations with some of what I have been reading lately. If a lady doesn't have the wherewithal to turn a negative into a positive, then she other problems to deal with other than a bad review.

I hope that you had a pooning phone because having the lady rant at you through text is very unprofessional and intrusive. Please do reconsider. We need your input as those who actually review their experiences are few and far between. This forum has become an anything-but-a-review forum.

Thanks.

Sad, really. Of the 17 threads on the front page, only 3 are reviews.

What else is happening in the Winnipeg forum to bring it to this sad state of affairs?

I remember the first (and so far only - NOT because I don't want to: Kayla is simply AWESOME, but because of some economy issues and others...) time I saw Kayla, one of the things she insisted on was that if, when she opened the door, what I saw wasn't what I was expecting, it would be better for both of us to simply say goodnight and leave without proceeding. That was very reassuring and I actually took her word for it, preparing myself to leave if she was anything but what I was expecting... of course, when she opened the door, I was sucked into her place: she was MORE than what I was expecting - such a beautiful lady.

I've stepped back from the hobby for almost 2 years just nothing of interest! Last girl I saw was Lara. I have a friend whom is not a member and was looking to get his feet wet again so to speak after loosing his wife and daughter in an accident in early 2013. Noticing Lara was in town I recommended her. He saw her Sunday night and rebooked for tonight. I'll pick his brain and post on his experience.

 

[hankmoody]

I appreciate all honest reviews. Good or bad. Not the rude, disrespectful or slanderous ones.

- People aren't pooning. I find that those that post the most here contribute the least. I mean they post but not reviews so what good is that, right? It's good for the ego, the post count and perceived popularity but doesn't actually grow and encourage reviews.

- People that are afraid to post. Afraid to be called a shill or to be attacked for trying to post a review.

- Newer members seeing established providers and don't think we need the review. I see some posters review other ladies that I have seen and do see regularly but I don't have one. (?) I am sure that this happens with other ladies and I am not sure what the exact reason is either.

- People just seeing certain regular ladies that they may have already reviewed.

- Or people that aren't actively in hobby that hang around here and post here for whatever reason because they're not here to do what this site is actually designed for. Why not go to some other online hangout and post then?

- People plugging up the review section with reviews of non escorts (which does PISS ME OFF considering that I AM PAYING to advertise and keep the board going along with the other SUPPORTING ADVERTISERS) , retarded threads looking for restaurants, stupid anecdotes, jokes and ISO threads that all have their place in this forum in another section that was designed specifically for that reason rather than flood out a review section.

-Winnipeg people are too special and can't possibly join the Vancouver discussion forums because them folks are from the moon and all.

- Any other section on perb is heavily moderated to move drivel, stupid discussions, non reviews, 411's and yes even a buy and sell section to post your crappy shit there because no one cares about your crap.

End of my mini rant. I feel much better.

Thank you. I wish I could say that your story distinguishes you and I remember you but this is something I do say especially if someone tells me " Someone recommended I see you.." I appreciate them, but if "I am not what you normally go for, please don't book with me speech" is a common thing that I say when booking someone new. I try to avoid bad experiences too!


Anyway. Please do reconsider and keep posting your experiences with providers good, bad or otherwise. People need them to make informed decisions especially with the new laws and there are many new-cummers to the hobby who just don't know how to to select a good provider. They will have bad experiences that will terrify them away from the hobby or better than that, you'll save someone some money and some grief and you can put some coins in your karma bank.

Newer posters & members: Please don't be afraid to post. We need your input also. Please.

Actually , a lot of us are still at it, and going strong. We just usually now exchange pm's or emails. There are about 6-7 Perbites that I trust for fair and honest reviews, and the reason for that is certain members get banned only to come back with a new name and agenda of disrupting and promoting certain girls. Also, I can say I stopped doing reviews here because I was told that I was "shilling" which was just ludicrous.

Anyways, with Dec 6th looming I have made arrangements that I feel will give me protection and peace.

Cheers

 

[rubintugger]

You definately do have to be careful what you say on boards like this. I've had a bad experience with a reaction to a post, got to the point mods got involved. And it wasn't even a bad review!

That's why I tend to use these boards as recommendation boards. I'm not interested in avoiding the bad SP's out there, rather I'm interested in seeing the good ones. I have limited time and money, I'm not going to waste it on "I hope this one turns out good".

Even following good recommendations, I've had some m'eh experiences, thanks to the gods of YMMV.

But I sure haven't had a nightmares lately.

For those more adventurous out there, who can mine through the crap and find us a few gems, I applaud your efforts. But detailing how something went wrong, not necessary beyond "I will not repeat". Those four words speak volumes.

Based on this comment, it looks like a bleak future for REVIEWS on winnipeg perb.

so, since the respectable reviewers are now exchanging info by PMs and emails, what's left for this forum?

Will it become a catchall for General Discussion, inquiries about "Anyone seen this gal on BP?", Escorts 411, Rants and Raves, Price discussions, Second hand reviews (My friend saw this girl and he told me)?

 

[Misterbeaver]

That's unfortunate.
Where is the review? I don't see it.
That's why you shouldn't advertise your handle to gals you see.

Curious why you don't "out" the lady hassling you? I get that someone might feel the need to stick up for their service, but it should kept in this forum, not invading our personal space. I myself would like to know who I should avoid if you could be so kind as to PM me or post it on here to warn everyone.

I'm not stating anything as "fact" as I am not hobbyist. Sure, I love to fuck girls but I don't see SP's. I compiled my response based on discussions that I've read. I made that assumption based on the number of people that are on here but aren't active in the hobby. Or as active.

Sending PM's to a small number of people and not posting them doesn't nurture and grow the board for its intended purpose. If said SP is hassling you, contact the mods. You can block an SP's email and with some phones even their phone numbers if it gets that bad. The batshit crazy hooker app is available for download on iTunes. ound: There are solutions to everything and I hate seeing people just give up and quit.

If an SP wants to talk to someone about their review, they can send a polite email or PM instead of bunch venom spewing bitterness and crazy in public. Lashing out at someone on the board just ruins it for them even more because they are now interfering with "potential & future" clients. Why not let them? Let people see who and what they really are and let them ruin themselves.

I wish you would reconsider also, Pedro. Don't let one persons' idiotic comments prevent you from posting.

This sounds like the death knell of perb winnipeg, if the busy pooners are not posting public reviews, but instead exchanging info by PMs and emails.

After Dec. 6th, perb winnipeg will probably be going the way of perb edmonton and perb calgary.

I always wait at least a week just so if I am either pissed of or euphoric, I am a bit more objective.

Plus if you wait a bit it helps your anonymity.

i do the same thing. I wait at least couple of days, so it won't be trace back to me. Also need to be careful what type of details I add. If it is too short it won't help anyone. I try to add as much details as possible and at the same time try it avoid specifics.

@ runlong

I have nit used my real phone number to set up sessions with anyone for a long time, not since a traveling SP company decided to start spamming me with coming attractions, so I purchased a cheap throwaway phone. Nowadays all you need is a phone app like textme or any of a dozen others and you have a new phone number which you can safely use and if needed erase and start over with a new number any time.

While I know some of the ladies do hate these app, I also know way to often many of the ladies do not clear us off their phones, a example being when I booked a session with an agency who I had not seen in a year still knew my pooning name when I texted to set up a session. This is an enjoyable hobby for the most part but I do not want my personal information out there, just as the ladies do not which is why most all have working names.

 

[Travelin Jack]

I haven't posted a review for a few years now. I see mostly a handful of established ladies, in both Manitoba and Saskatchewan, some local, some traveling. Perhaps they could use a few reviews.

Reviews have saved me huge $$$ over the years. I appreciate that. Scams and rip off artists can avoided!!

But, sometimes i see highly reviewed favorites, and my experience is good, but not worth raving about. In this case I don't review because maybe its a ymmv situation. Some been reviewed so often, seems like white knights. Then again, Stoon has so few locals, maybe supporting them, is the best way to go. Who knows.

Shedevil mentions that the Established ladies could use a review now and then. I think this is a good point. I poon here a few times every year (live in Saskatoon), so I don't know the local scene that well. I'm curious about the "established ladies", that only you locals know about, who don't have recent reviews.

 

[hankmoody]

I don't do reviews but in the interest of this thread and giving a little back il make some recommendations.
The lovely ladies of winnipeg i've had the pleasure of spending time with are Angelina Develin, Michelle Fox, Miss Leesha, Felina Rose. These are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. And they'l do THAT for you! They have detailed ad's and web sites that describe them accurately. If after reading them you still have questions they may not be for you.
Cheers
