Do Perb members even want honest reviews?

I've noticed a trend on here where whenever a review isn't a perfect 10 out of 10, it often attracts at least one negative comment from someone who attacks the reviewer's opinion, almost being passive aggressive or name calling. Have you also noticed this phenomenon, and do you think it's becoming increasingly common?

Why do you think some people become so defensive or emotional when they read negative reviews, even when the reviewer is being respectful and constructive?

Let's keep the discussion respectful and constructive, please. No need to get personal or aggressive, let's keep it civil and avoid getting our conversation shut down

Valid question. Personally, I seek out reviews indicating details pertaining to appearance accuracy, the quality of location and if services provided were satisfactory.
Have no interest in reading a online promotional pamphlet about how great she made you feel. I try not to be critical as to not get banned or discourage men from making contributions to the forum.

On the opposite end , the same thing can happen in reverse. Someone may leave a mostly positive ( not even all ) review , and some members read it and only focus on the parts they want to ( the positive parts ) & interpret it how they like .
Then they go see the girl w a fairly high expectation ( I’m assuming some might also expect the exact same experience no matter what )
And when they don’t have the exact experience they wanted they come go on the thread and trash the girl.
Examples would be that they thought she looked older , it felt like a routine ( too robotic & not passionate ) she was too vocal & passionate to be real , too skinny , too curvy , too tall , too short , boobs too small , boobs hang too much ( large naturals ) ,too much makeup , not enough makeup etc etc but often worded differently, such as
Not pretty ( not enough makeup )
Looked like a whore ( too much make up )
Not feminine looking ( too slim )
Fat ( too curvy )
12 yr old boy ( too flat )
Over the hill ( milf w large naturals )
Etc etc .

Ok a side note the only complaint I’ve never seen is too young , which just so happens to be my caveat as I prefer 30+

Our current unhinged climate, not just in this forum, breeds toxic optimism/positivity and radical optimism in my opinion. All different names for the same thing.

It's not just "long-standing" members, but I suspect previous members who were banned at one time. I have seen so many familiar styles of writings from long-standing members with names I'm not familiar with, which seemingly are no longer active in this forum or no longer exist. I believe they may have changed their names by requesting it formally. For many, even after multiple bans, they still can't stay away.

I feel their agenda, whether they're shilling, a white knight, or a simp, is to promote and endorse the provider with a great deal of posturing. I can imagine it's difficult for the mods to conclusively prove if someone is shilling or just smitten with the provider, especially when they suggest to others we bring gifts or food to them.

Furthermore, rarely does anyone in the forum follow the review template and review guide: https://perb.cc/xenforo/threads/wel...ide-2022-read-this-first.317508/#post-2316144.

And don't forget the paid advertiser who always butt heads with every critical reviewer until the thread gets locked.
I know what and whom you alluding too. But actually saw them own up to a new girl who didn’t meet expectations of a reviewer. That was refreshing. Treated the review as a coach and counsel approach for the girl. Granted the negative review WAS done very respectfully and that went along way with the dialogue.
As @white Ninja 74 pointed out people want the same connection that was had in the review. Not always possible, as ymmv obviously, numerous bookings in a day is hard to maintain that perfect session soo many times a day, day in day out.
Making a connection with a girl is just as much our mission as it is theirs.
If I say book with Dim Sum or DayNight etc dozens and dozens of times (or embarrassingly more) they can relay to the girl that in a regular and safe, puts them at ease. If I bring a treat (will do with repeats) I find that helps with a connection.
With a better connection a better review. Also doing my research helps me avoid booking someone who has a chance to disappoint.
I’m not the biggest TOFT booker, so that’s helped. I also got lucky when I have TOFT, but had some misses.
Just my thoughts.
So yes I appreciate honest reviews, in fact I depend on them. I’m not seeing value priced aunties, so $350 or more a session is a investment in my time, and want to be rewarded accordingly

There are some on here who give a 10/10 review for favours. There are some who latch onto anything less than 10/10 to complain. If it were a normal statistical distribution youd expext 5-6's to predominate, but that is not the case. Hence there are more outlier reviews than valid ones.
I’ve never been a fan of the rating system myself. I like seeing others subjective numerical values, but if there post and review count is low, it doesn’t hold much water for me. But when @AMG-GTR says someone’s face is a 8, I’m looking into booking lol

Totally, my first ever post was on the same topic after I observed the pattern.
Like the most add YMMV in good reviews why can't people accept the other way around.
I also feel it's the primary reason people are hesitant to put the reviews on average or bad experiences.

Long ago when I first joined the forum it was not like this, not on Perb, at least not to the extent it is now. And with rare exception, anywhere else for that matter.

I think adding the "like" button made things much worse in terms of glowing reviews being the norm. It's actually quite funny, it's not like reddit where you actually build karma points with likes, rather an ego trip. A high post count is meaningless too. The user could spend most of their time shilling providers, as we have recently seen.

A numerical rating system at least gives some measurement instead of just saying something like she knocked my socks off. Having said that, critical thinking on social media which includes forums is quite rare...all thanks to social proofing and the bandwagon effect.

I should clarify. I don’t like numerical system for me to give out. Way too subjective, and would be biased depending on my tastes. I get that some will give ratings on every aspect to try to help out others. Ie face / body/ service /bj level/ tightness/ attitude/ language/ horoscope compatibility To help narrow down aspects of the session on that given day.

Tastes are subjective. Pick a female movie star and you'll get 10 guys who love her and 10 who hate her and five who will argue about things not even relevant to the topic at hand.

Then the accusations start flying from the mind readers -- oh, you're just a white knight.

Maybe some of us just have the maturity to not treat women like a slab of meat.

Experiences differ -- what turns me on may be 'meh' to you. And what turns you on might be painful, disgusting, silly or uninteresting to me.

I haven't reviewed every SP I have seen -- many are out of the business; they were visiting; or I just didn't have anything to say about the session.

There are some SPs who I like to see regularly -- am I shilling if I give them a good review?

There is no such thing as a perfect review because we are all different, and SPs are all human in their faults and abilities, likes and dislikes.

So YMMV in most instances.

The only thing I can say with absolute certainty is that I have not had one -- not one -- bad experience in the past two+ years back in this hobby. Previously? I would say it was often 50-50 or worse for bad experiences. I don't know what has specifically changed in this industry -- maybe just me -- but the SPs I encounter are waaaaay better looking than those I saw years ago. Services are waaaaay better. And most specifically, attitudes are in no way comparable to what I used to encounter in this business.

So to you it may not be up to your standards, but for me, it has been amazing to spend time with beautiful women who are open-minded and typically provide really good to great services.

A lot of what I read here and in the reviews is from men with really unrealistic expectations of what women should do for you for money.

Might want to think about that for a while.

Numerical system has a personal bias. What one person considers to be a 10, I might say is a 8 or vise versa.
On a bell curve a 4,5,6 are normal looking... The 1,2 and 9,10 are rare and far outside the curve.
The fact that a guy just got laid, pumps the number factor up by 3.....

I agree on anything else said but have issue with two points you mentioned above.

First of all, this forum is for business of selling sex for money and designed to share experinces good, bad, and ugly. As you mentioned about turns on and meh, but you are you labelling others expectations unrealistic? Dont you think time has changed to mark it unrealistic?

Second you are implying you are mature and people putting reviews on bad experiences are immature, its plain virtue signalling and exactly what white knights do.

Lots of mind reading going on here.

Selling sex for money doesn't mean everything is up for sale. Women do have a right to their body autonomy regardless of how much cash you have. So let's be realistic about respecting boundaries and not make assumptions about what money should and will get you.

People can put up whatever reviews they want. Throwing the term of 'white knight' at anything you don't like or understand is the epitome of immaturity. Maybe spend some time on your reading comprehension and understanding things before jumping on your white horse and tilting at windmills that only exist in your closed mind.
