I see multiple reviews of many different SP, MPs, AMPs etc. What is the point of submitting a review if it mirrors what has already been said by others? Obviously if one has a different take, then you might want to offer your honest opinion. Otherwise it seems I would just be telling the PERB world about my experiences rather than sharing some useful info.
A Question Re Reviews
- Thread starter Six-Pack
- Start date
if the reviews are similar (positive) then they will add more credibility to the lady being reviewed in that eight positive reviews are better than one. It helps to rule out the possibility of a shill, especially if it is a newer girl. Other than that, not a lot of benefit except that for the lady it might give her the confidence to raise her rates if she sees that she has all glowing reviews.

A review of an SP that is a mirror of another shows how similarly the SP can deliver services from pooner to pooner. It puts into perspective a pooner's experience with her as not being unique, which I think is helpful. It also shows if she can be consistent, or affected by mood, time of day, etc.
It would be great if they had some way to do a cumulative rating. I guess you could add a poll to a review. There should be a better way to add one's 2 cents worth.

There's a few good reasons for posting your own review even though the SP in question has been reviewed in the past...
1.) You validate what was previously said so the SP can build up a track record of reviews. If the SP only had one or two reviews the could be dismissed as a shill review or an attack on a SP. More reviews gives the readers more information to base a decision on.
2.) Even though the SP might have a few reviews they might not be recent and you're basically confirming that their looks have or haven't changed (ie weight loss/ gain, hair colour, length of hair, etc.) that might be more important to another pooner.
3.) As you may have noticed not everyone uses the search button. A recent review keeps the SP fresh in the public eye.
4.) It builds up (and in some cases detracts) YOUR board credibility. I can ignore or visit an SP on the basis of certain credible reviewers because I know that they like similar women as me... (hello Quarter Mile'r and JackFrost).

The more experienced pooners tend to make decisions based on several reviews, not just one. If the experiences of several respected reviewers are very close, chances are the SP provides similar service to almost all clients.
One bad review among ten good ones is probably an aberration; the converse is also true (and highly suspicious too). One among two makes it difficult for a reader to decide, so the more reviews on a particular SP, the better, even if they don't add any truly new information.

...and...
5) You can make a SP happy.
Who doesn't like to hear they're hot/good in bed/fun to be with.
C'mon, that's a viable reason to review, isn't it?

... and don't forget the possibility that is just plain fun to tell all the other guys about a great experience you had! (Oh yeah, I'm da MAN!)
Well, maybe that's just me. If I were a guy, I'd do that!

If no one posted a review of an SP that echoes a review had already been posted, the review section of PERB would quickly dry up. Or, you'd end up with one positive and one negative review of every SP. Not much information on which to base a decision.Six-Pack said:
As has been noted, many experienced PERB readers wait for a series of fairly consistent reviews before venturing forth into the unknown and booking an SP they haven't seen before. One bad review amongst many positive reviews simply tells everyone that on that day she was either off her "game" or there was something else going on that could have influenced the session so YMMV (e.g. she could be having personal problems or the client could be a jerk, have bad breath, lie about having taking a shower within the past week, etc.).
I've seen some SPs that I thought were great that had one or two bad reviews, and I've seen some SPs that had received great reviews but were such a disappointment (in looks, attitude or service) that made me wonder on what parallel universe they lived! YMMV so the more reviews, the better. Even if they are repetitive.
The only bad thing about too many positive reviews of the same SP is that it often results in them becoming so busy that I can't get hold of them. Damn Lurkers taking advantage of our work product!!!!!
The more reviews the better! Your review may further validate other reviews. I wouldn't see a girl or not see a girl based on just one review. If there is only one review you never know if the girl was having a really good/really bad day, or whether the reviewer is just exaggerating or being overly critical. If a number of reviews are available you can get a more accurate estimate of what you will experience.
