Sometimes No Review Is The Best Review

Talking to numerous SP's as well as pooners, I have come to believe that sometimes no review is the best review.
I'm finding that pooners are split 50/50 on reviews. Some feel that an SP who stays out of the light and just does her thing with no reviews, are the best SP's to visit. Others want and need to read a review before visiting an SP.
Often, amazing reviews pop up about an SP that sound too good to be true, and people will call it a shill. For anybody new reading the board, seeing pooners call a review a shill can be just as harmful as a bad review. On the other hand, some reviews aren't even reviews. They are attacks on an SP. Instead of just saying, "I wasn't pleased with my visit because....." some pooners go into great detail to make sure they bash the SP.
As long as peeps keep in mind that there are 2 sides to every story, and that a review is SUPPOSED to be a personal opinion, reviews both work and don't work for both parties involved. For the most part, people reading the board only hear the pooners side of the story.
If a pooner comes on the board and posts a review that SP X gave the worst bj ever and that she made little effort to connect, how often do we stop to think that maybe that pooner had gone to see the SP after working 8 hours at the sewage treatment plant, with no shower, and balls that smelled like rotting meat on the kitchen counter.?.?.? Maybe the SP couldn't get into the date because the guy had no personallity, and stunk. You never hear in a pooners review that he forgot to shower and that he has the personallity of a prison inmate who just got gang raped in his cell. You only hear what he wants you to hear.
On the same note. I believe that 25% - 30% of reviews are fake. I have had SP's tell me that if I write a good review about them, that they will discount me on my visit. I think some SP's write their own reviews about themselves. I have even had one SP in Calgary, who I have never met, email me and ask me, "Scotty I notice you post on the board a lot, could you please do a review on me?" I won't say who, but I didn't do it because it's silly bullshit.
I don't put a lot of faith in reviews. But it's still fun to read them and check out the creative writing styles. Especially the ones that go into such detail, that we know what the pooner ate before he called her to set up an appointment. I read an ad last night that made me laugh. Mistress K from Sexy Escort Ads. She states, "My bj's have been rated #1 in Calgary" We have a panel of judges in the city now? I wonder if it's the White Hat Committee. Welcome Wagon will have to hand out flyers for that one.
With SP's trying to out-post each other on boards to remain on top, SP's coming in and out or retirement within a two week span, and SP's bashing each other with fake nics on other boards, it's obvious that some would claw the eyes out of each other to keep on top. Yeah it's the business and the industry... SP retirement is a lot like walking into the mall and seeing that sign outside a store that says WE'RE CLOSING OUT DOORS! EVERYTHING MUST GO! You know that they will remain open and that they aren't really closing the doors. They got you in the store however. You just had to go in one last time looking for a great deal before the store was closed FOR GOOD. Next week, the signs are torn down, and the store is still there. Open for business. Marketing! Just like a bad review, a good review, a fake review, a real review, a special, a gimmic...... It's all marketing.

use the search function
and you will find
about 100+ threads
on this very subject.

there is no right answer
some sp's deserve a good review
others don't
but alot depends
on who is writing the review.

there have been lots of threads
on cleanliness for both parties;
on respect, by both parties;
for connecting, for both parties.

reality is lots of people will like each other
lots won't.

but try the search function sometime ...

really, lots out there!

I agree, sometimes no review is the best review. :D
It leaves a little to the imagination and also goes along with client/provider confidentiality.
I have seen some great gentlemen from these boards all which have not wrote a review and that is perfectly fine with me. I dont think that bad/good reviews would increase or decrease my business at all.

Good or bad,

People will make their decisions on their own. When was the last time yo mama made a decision for ya?:rolleyes:

Same with the reviews posted here. I did fine without them. I do fine with them...

The number of people in Winnipeg that are on this board is quite small. The best sessions are the ones who have nothing do with this place.

It's all about me and not about the drama/Gossip. I despise having someone talk to me about so-and-so. Thanks to the ''HO'' network, I can ask another SP to compare e-mail handles for me and then I know who they are.

~Hiding in the trees...~
HOWEVER...

Consistent bad reviews should be cause for concern. That and an SP that can't handle a bad review and ends up showing their ASS makes a pretty good indication that your money would be better spent elsewhere.

I say the reviews are valuable. We're talking 200, 300, and maybe 400 bones. A pooner needs to know that kinda scratch will not get wasted on some WOT chick. Espicially if your only in town for one night and can only see one chick, you need to choose wisely. Many don't like TOFTT's.

If your a chick and you had a bad day and got a bad review then IMO you better suck it up and remember your in a public service job and first impressions are everything.

hitrack - I never expected to reply to one of your posts and agree with you!

When I go to get a haircut, service on my vehicle, a meal in a restaurant, a massage at a spa or any other service I am paying for, I expect to receive the following things:

1) The service that was promised (If I pay for a 45 minute hot stone massage, that is what I expect to get. If I order a mushroom burger, I expect a hot, appealing mushroom burger as it was described on the menu.)

2) I expect that when I have an appointment for service or a business tells me that my car will ready at a certain time, that they will deliver as promised.

3) I expect polite, friendly service.

4) When that business does not deliver as promised, I expect an apology and some kind of compensation if I make a legititmate and politely worded complaint.

Why should a "pooner" expect anything less from a SERVICE provider?

When I book an appointment with a client, I make sure I communicate about expectations, I make sure that I am ready on time, I make sure that I do all the preparation I need to ensure that a good time is had by both of us.

If a pooner isn't satisfied with the service received, he/she should be allowed to post that experience just like he/she can post a positive experience. As SPs, we are in the service business.

That's just my two cents.

This is a review board and the reviews are the main reason I'm here.
A review, good or bad, is beneficial for fellow pooners who are spending big bucks. I've had some great experiences since I've been reading reviews and I've avoided wasting huge $ too.
Just remember to take reviews with a grain of salt, realize that SPs and pooners have good and bad days and that our tastes are not all the same.
Thanks to all the Perberts that post reviews - good and bad.

I'll be posting a new review soon. I haven't counted, but I've posted a review about once a month since I've been a member.
How many times have you given back to the Perb community?

Here's the interesting thing. There are lots of pooners out there who know a lot about some sp's, others know a little about a lot of SP's or something in between. When you don't post a review and yet try to get info through 411 you shouldn't expect any help from most pooners. Why would we help you when you don't help others?

Scotty, I know all kinds of stuff about the lady you 411'ed about the other day from Calgary. Why didn't I tell you? Because I haven't seen you review anyone or help another pooner out.

If Rod Steel or Randy made a 411 post, how many replies will they get? You gotta give to get, it's real simple. If you don't post reviews, it kinda defeats the purpose of being here.

I get PM's from time to time asking about my experiences. I tell them "it's just my opinion but this is the way it is. Good or bad..." I have seen too many reviews called shill, and I have seen too many reviews that were to rude and harsh posted. Mods have to come in and delete or edit them. I find communication via PM to be the best method for me. There's more than one way to use PERB. PM's work just as well. So as far as a paerson not posting a review, not having a reason or purpose here, your wrong on that point. I have contacted and have been contacted on numerous occasions in PM as opposed to on the board. The board is one avenue, as well as PM's. As of today, PERB's member list has what... 16018 members. A lot of them lurk, and only a handful post. However, there is action between PM's.

:eek: As a paid advertiser on this board I'd have to say Reviews are welcomed and almost as important as paying your phone bill every month. While perb is not the only place I advertise it is where I draw my reviews from to put them on my site. Placing these in a category on my site, enables future gentleman to know what others think of me.

While I dont have publicly any bad reviews I know their out there and I kinda wish someone would write one, or atleast one that is more so/so instead of writting that I rock and My pussy is dipped in gold. IT's not and I dont think it's RIGHT to have all good REVIEWS. My EGO will never get SOOO big that I think I can do no wrong. As this problem seems to happen to ladies who only get good reviews. Truth is, they have bad ones too, but the gentleman are affraid of tarnishing her rep. OH for fuck sakes, this is a review board NOT the girls club. This board was started by Gentlemen who where sick and tired of getting ripped off by ladies in this business.

There are rumors of back door chatter about how ladies make mods take down bad reviews... I sure hope that is not true.

There is also rumors that more often then NOT the gentleman pm each other about more details. It's been said that depending on who is doing the back door asking depends on what intel you will get. The old timers who take the time out of their busy schedules will NOT give to a guy that only takes from a community they Support.

NOW, REMEMBER that at least 70% of active members on this board or any other actually ever post. They view what they want get the info they need and decide from there. Which means, they are looking for reviews on a lady they are interested in seeing but want to make sure their HARD earned money is going to a service they feel it worth spending on. Unfortunately there is a bit of a conflict regarding this type of member and the active ones who post for the lurkers to take from.

Scotty, I think you like playing around on the board, I think you see this as stress/comic relief for you. Not usually an issue for most here, there are tons of gentleman in the same boat as you, who come here out of entertainment and enjoyment. BUT my dear, you dont get to judge the Reviews, if you infact dont believe in them, IMO. Dont write reviews, no biggie, but YOU dont get to ask for intel about someone and whine you didn't get any help if you are not willing to give back to a community you take from

For me I live by this and help as much as I can because I do TAKE from this community, on a regular basis. Karma is a beautiful thing !!:eek:

I'm glad to hear that you do give back to the community... however, it's been said you only see one lady in Calgary which basicly can mean YOU are bias. lol ... not a bad thing ... most gents are bias when it comes to their favs.

NOw I could be wrong but the majority here on perb actually see more then ONE lady. So you might be called a shill because you are bias. ~ giggles ~

As a newcomer to not only this board but to this hobby, I find reviews on SP's have been very useful tool to have a great start to my days of pooning. As with any type of review (ie. movie and music reviews), I will take the reviewer's opionion with a grain of salt. I do not have the same tastes as everyone in the world and not everyone likes what I like. I will not only look at reviews on the board to make a decision on who to see. I will look at the SP's posts on the board.

For example, Sydney and Szabina not only had good reviews here, I found that their posts were both intelligent and funny. Just the kind of women whom I find attractive. What do you know, I had a great time with both. If either lived in Calgary, they would have a regular and I will most definately see them everytime they are in Calgary

Keep the reviews coming. I think they are very helpful to all on the board. I will try to keep up my part and do some reviews. Fake reviews will be weeded out for what they are. Thanks to all who have gotten me to a great start to my new hobby

No no... I visit Van on occasion, as well as T.O. but my visits in Van are very few and far between. VERY.... Nome base for me is Calgary, and I do only visit one gal whom I am very comfortable with. When you find something or somebody you enjoy, there is no need to shop around. No I can't speak for everyone, as there are lots of men who like to shop around and enjoy variety. No harm there.
As for being bias, not really. I have inquired about you in PM's and have heard great things. In fact 2 nights ago, I had a fellow PM me and ask if I had seen you. I informed him I hadn't met you but have heard good things about you. I have talked to you in PM about maybe someday meeting, but you know I like naughty hardcore play, and you told me you don't. Otherwise, from what I have been told about you, I would be there now to see you. I have been told fantastic things about you in PM, but..... your not as naughty as I myself and looking for.
It's all good. As for seeing stress and tension as comic relief..... No... I may have touched on a few sensitive subjects from time to time. But the threads get response, valid and points are made from members, and it's all good. Reviews are opinions. Personal opinions. And even if the subject is a sensitive subject that may cause tension, it's still each members right to voice their opinion. No matter what it might be. Eyes get opened to new ideas and ways of thinking. It's a chance to explore ideas on issues that might otherwise be left in the dark or ignored. I never said ALL reviews were fake or made up. However I did stress that every last person in here is different. What works for me, might not work for the next guy. There are fake reviews and shills. But in the end, the decision is up to the individual. Based on what they think is real, fake, shill, the SP's services, fees, appearance, and so on.

Reviews are very personal but it does give the others a good idea what they are spending their money on.

Appearance is bias because everyone has a different interest and taste. But if she has fake pictures on her site or the pictures she posts are so old, this is something everyone needs to know.

Rates are also important to share ... while one gent paid XX but another one only paid XX got a the same service but different rates ... this should be exposed.

Services Vary depending on comfort of the lady. I know for me I'm WAY more experimental if I know and feel safe with a gentleman who I've seen more then once or twice. Its been said alot that ladies hold back services because they are not comfortable with someone, but then gentleman here share that he got this or he got that - and she pipes in to say .... " I'm not comfortable with giving that service to someone I've only seen once " but some ladies are better at some thing more then others. SOME love bjs' ... some LOVE greek ... some love XXXX So of course we are going to be better at the things we love. OR the lady just licks the stick and doesn't take it in the mouth ... or the lady can take it all the way down her throat.... this stuff should be shared.

Attitude also depends but this is a business where our personalities sell our product. Good bad or indifferent. Some gentleman like a sassy gal, while others like a more timdle lady, everyone is going to be different. BUT !!!!!! If she's got a bad attitude with more then one visitor and your all sharing, and it comes out there is a theme going on ... YOU Can bet dollar for donut that she is a BITCH. ON the other hand if she was having a bad day then that is a whole nother story and she shouldn't be judged for it, but it still should be said. YOU as the comsumer have EVERY right to bring it to light !!

Good BAD OR INDIFFERENT - all experiences should be posted. !! ~ IMO ~

The only knock I have ever had against PERB (other than the frequent, unnecessary use of some four letter words by some members) is the difficulty many members are faced with when wanting to write a review. For some of us who use English as our first language it is no problem, but many members must be intimidated by the thought of writing a narrative about an experience with a lady and then have some other members rip them apart or question its validity.

Frankly, for the size of the member base here I am surprised that there are so few reviews. Come on, let's face it, this is a review board. It is in the name, right?

I hate to draw a comparision here between PERB and Myredbook, but there have been days when I log on there and find over 100 new reviews. True there is a large population base here compared to there but why the huge difference?

My answer to that is Redbook uses a fill in the blanks-type of form where a reviewer (if he is writing about a lady who has been previously reviewed) only has to answer a few basic questions about the lady such as rating the experience (L/A/S) and price and only provide a brief description (in narative form) with a minimum of 250 characters. I have read some pretty poor descriptions but at least you get some vague idea of what the lady is like. After the review is written it is stored with all the other reviews about this lady so a prospective customer can get a good idea of what she is like. Some ladies have over 100 reviews. This takes some of the guesswork out of the experience.

Like Moose, I've also found reviews to be very helpful, especially when I was starting out. It's allowed me to make a more informed decision on who I want to see based on the services the reviewer gets in his session as I like certain things to be included. But I'm not an idiot, so I'm always aware that my experience may not be the same as what I expect from the review.

I read a few reviews (especially some that were called shill) and also a post that gave the 411 on review writing so I had a pretty good handle on how to avoid being called a shill when I wrote my first; I didn't have any problems. I think that as long as a review remains on a fairly even keel, most readers will respect the reviewers opinion. There are always some retards out there, but I'm ok with that. So, I prefer to have everything out in the open. I agree with SFMIKE in that the redbook format is much easier in terms of posting a review; but, frankly, I think that the open PERB format makes for a much more entertaining read. I guess it depends on what you want.

The way it works on Redbook

Apparently someone recently wrote a review about an extremely popular SP (RA) who has about 45 reviews in the last year. She works in a TAMP and seems to be rather notorious for her liberal service. In this particular review he indicated that she did greek with him and now there is a rather active discussion in the Massage Discussion forum.

Some are questioning the validity of the claim (sounds like here) while others are defending his claim since all his other reviews check out to be quite accurate.

So,there is a review section, and separate from that, a forum for discussing ladies and reviews written about them.
