"Is It Wrong Not To Post A Review After A Session?"
 
I have left reviews for some providers and some I haven't.
I feel like if the get together wasn't worth the good word or if it wasn't a bad experience I might not leave a review.
I've had alright sessions with some providers that I haven't reviewed.
Is it wrong for me not to leave a review after I see a new provider?

I am with you on your thought. I only post minis on those that I want to repeat as I want to ensure she is still around for my repeat session. If it is less than what I expect, then I will not leave any comments as it is a YMMV thingy so as not to destroy her source of income. What is not good for me may be good for others. This is what it is. Cheers

I imagine your thoughts on the subject will be changing and going back and forth a little over time. Some times it will seem worthwhile, relevant, or important, sometimes it won't. Sometimes it's just piling on. I don't review more often than I do, and only very rarely have I reviewed someone I know well.

It ain't like we're judging livestock here, so I personally don't set any hard and fast rule for when I do, and when I don't.

Just go with your gut. All the advice in the world isn't likely to make you go against it anyway.

Sometimes I have been asked NOT to give a review, because the girl doesnt want overexposure, or LE having interest in them in particular. I do ask them if they would like a review...if it was good, I reflect that. If it was bad, I reflect that too. All depends.

5. "To reveiw or not to review, that is the question."
In response to message #0
 
   I write reviews for three reasons. First, to give my RB brothers realistic information about providers. Second, to give back to ladies that have given me good service. Lastly, to allow me to read the reviews of other hobbiests. Based on those reasons, my decision on whether to review or not goes as follows.

If it was a bad session (very rare for me because I usually stick to well reviewed ladies) I will post a review. Keeping silent lets her sucker in more hobbiests, causing them to waste their money on a bad experience. I do use a different handle for most of my reviews to avoid any drama when I do post a less than stellar review.

I will almost always post a review for a provider that does not have many reviews, unless the session was good and she indicates that she does not want a review posted. It is really important to post if the lady has no reviews. If you TOFTT, make it worthwhile by letting guys know what to expect.

If the session was exceptional I will post a review (with her permission), and if I got a high mileage session I will ask her if there are any specifics she'd like me to omit to avoid having others expect the same.

I will not write a review if the provider is well reviewed, my experience was in line with the other reviews and I'm don't need to add to my time bank. If it isn't going to help anyone, then I don't bother.

In general I feel that any provider that regularly runs ads and/or has a website should be reviewed no matter how great or not so great the session was. That is the whole idea behind RB. We share intel and, in return, get good info from other guys so that we can minimize the risk of seeing sub-par (or worse) providers or ones who don't provide the services we're looking for. Not reviewing a great new provider in order to keep them for yourself is both selfish to fellow hobbyists and harmful to the lady who is trying to make a living.

There are exceptions. If I session with a provider with tons of reviews and I have nothing new to offer I don't feel bad if I get lazy and not post a review. If a provider specifically asks me not to review her I'll respect her wishes as long as the session was good. I won't honor that request if I felt that that the session didn't live up to prior reviews, her pics are total fakes in a bad way, she has health or emotional issues that I feel need to be known, and/or she didn't provide advertised services.

I kind of feel that due to the nature of Redbook, we are encouraged to share our experiences, whether it's in reviews, mini review posts on the forum, or through replying to threads or questions.

Sharing information whether good, bad, neutral or just plain helpful information (Is a shower available? Is her location convenient? How's parking? etc) always helps the next person in some way shape or form.

At the same time, I've also been requested by a provider not to post a review. So it's kind of a balance of listening to your gut if you have information to share, while also respecting the provider's requests to some extent.

I will always post a review on a provider, especially one that is new. The only exception is if she specifically asks me not to, and it wasn't a ripoff, B&S, etc. Then I definitely would regardless of whether she asked me not to or not. I am thankful for all of the great reviews on this site and believe that if you use the site to determine who you will be seeing, then you have an obligation to submit a review and add to the general knowledge base. For the record, my next review will be my 100th.

   Personally, I really don't feel responsible to help providers succeed at what they do. If they want a lot of business, it's very simple: provide stellar service. She doesn't need a single review if she is a great provider. Like the voice in Field of Dreams..."if you build it, he will come"

I should also mention that we guys are very lazy about recommending someone. We worry that rates will go up or she will become less available. We also can be possessive and not want to share info with each other. That's why these girls are constantly advertising because we guys don't share info. Go look at Escort 411 and you'll see that it's a waste of time. A lot of guys asking about a lot of girls, but nobody divulging very much. It's only the bad ones that we all want to talk about.


Ironically, it's those that provide bad service that tend to have a lot of reviews.

   Wow, what a selfish attitude.

You don't care about the provider who gives you a great session nor about the other hobbiests who are looking for quality ladies, it's all about you.

Your selfishness is combined with stupidity.

You say:
She doesn't need a single review if she is a great provider. Like the voice in Field of Dreams..."if you build it, he will come"

How moronic. Many hobbiests won't see an unreviewed provider. The purpose of this board is to allow us to make educated choices as consumers, and a byproduct of that is that good providers get free advertising. This encourages good service because they know that there performance today may affect their income tomorrow.

Thank goodness most on this board do get it and do post reviews.

   BigBill,

I disagree with you. Most hobbiests TOFFT due to a lack of information. And having taken the risk, we don't feel obligated to make it so easy for everybody else. That's why Escort 411 is so devoid of details. And as for the reviews you read, you should bear in mind that many are bogus, written by shills, pimps and the providers themselves. Handles of reviewers are few or nonexistent in the forums, which make it impossible to check the credibility of the reviewer. So reviews are not all that important. What is important is that the provider provide stellar service...that's how she gets to be successful. I think it is important that we place (and keep) the responsibility on the provider, not the hobbiest.

I'm just telling it as it is...don't shoot the messenger

I find your POV very realistic and to the point.

There are many motivations behind writing reviews, and not all are written with naturalist's passion. ( like finding new species). Many are written by women's request and her being the editor of the review. and I am not critical of those reviewers, if you really liked the woman and would like to continue seeing her, who would say NO to that?


There are also other ways people communicate here and those are often not through reviews and I agree that if a lady is extraordinary, she will be known with or without the reviews.

Red's wisdom is to let us ( men and women) decide whether to be part of review system.

There are few obsessive ones who post reviews ( sometimes fake ones) to get few days of VIP membership, but many people would simply pay .. mostly to support this site.

I often get more relevant information through reading women's posts or IMing with her in RB chat.

To the original poster:

Reviews are written by your choice alone, write it when you are inspired. Don't worry about RB brotherhood ( often mentioned only when someone wants something from you) and they will be fine without your contributions.

   I treat reviews as generally discretionary.

Which is to say that no matter if it was good, ok, or bad, one should "pass the word along" to the benefit of others. *SHOULD* is the operative word I would use.

However, there have been times where, despite a BAD (or even OK) experience, I felt, for whatever reason, it meaningful to give the provider the benefit of the doubt by not posting a review.

For that matter some providers seem not to want reviews.

...

A question I have is, ...

If the provider has ZERO reviews, and you had a ho-hum experience, are you doing the provider a favor by turning a genuine post with like 6 Looks, 6 Service? (At least the provider gets something on board, so that others know it's for real?)

   If a provider is a scam or purposely provides a miserable service that leaves you resentful for spending the money on her, it's important to write a review to warn away fellow mongers and hopefully encourage the girl off of RB. But given everyone has bad days, chemistry varies, and YMMV, if a girl is lackluster I don't want to interfere with her livelihood and won't write a negative review.

I think most guys will always write a review or at least post to
forum if they have a really bad session etc. But I think when guys
have really good find for a girl who is not high volume they tend to
keep her to themselves until the rest of the mongers discover her.
They don't want her to become too high volume and/or jack up her prices.
Also the guys who find girls willing to do BBFS will keep it quiet most
of the time .. me thinks.

I feel exactly the same way about middle-of-the road sessions. If my review of a provider will not prompt others to see her or avoid her, and if nothing out-of-the-ordinary happened, then I consider it a waste of my time, other prospective customer's time, and RB's disk space.

One exception -- I may still review an average session if she's brand new and shows some potential.

I've written numerous reviews over the years and stopped doing it when I started paying for the subscription to VIP members. Obviously, creating new reviews allows you access to the VIP sections without paying for membership. However, RB would be nothing without its reviews, because we have all seen ads that turn out to be bogus ads , so the reviews are important to RB. So I say, if you see a provider, even if she is mediocre, you should write a review,

On the other hand, the only really useful reviews are the extreme ones, from people who have written numerous reviews previously. Also, I don't trust reviews that lack details. Some providers describe themselves as "GFE" but then after you get there, you find out that to her it means no kissing, don't touch me there, and about all she will do for you is a covered BJ and full sex, in missionary, but only one time and she rushes out the door after you cum.

If she did do stuff you really like, tell us what it was and why was it better, or worse, than previous providers. Also, include details because they may remind other members if they have seen the provider under another name.

I would not trust any review that says,"I am too much of a gentleman to go into details," Gentleman? Come on buddy, You are fucking whores. Also reviews that are only one or two lines long would not be useful to the board.

So my answer is you should post a comprehensive review to RB after a session. Sort of a payback for letting you browse the providers' ads and reviews.

Regardless, there will be no penalities if you post a review or not. It's totally your choice. Just like it was you who decided to fuck a provider.

   Well, many of us go to RB in order to see reviews and pay back others by posting sessions..we help each other and can save $ on flakes or providers that no show.
