Concurring Reviews

[Guest DaddyWayne]

Should reviews be posted when all you can do is concur in previous ones? I was recently with an escort who's been reviewed here 4 or 5 times. My experience with this escort was exactly as described in previous reviews by other clients. If I were to post a review, I would have nothing to add that hadn't already been said about this escort previously. What's the opinion of readers here? Post a concurring review or not?

[duke37]

I can think of a few reasons to post:

 

Are you sure you have nothing different to relate than previous reviewers? I mean was everything you guys talked about/did exactly as previous posters? If you and the escort had a great dinner and he was a good conversationalist and it hasn't been mentioned before well than focus on that.

 

All good (legitimate) reviews help add to the escorts reputation for reliability. If 6 or 7 guys say he is great it makes it more likely than if only 3 or 4 have posted.

 

If you liked the guy, having a post on the newest reviews will probably give him some new business.

It is a good question. Do we really need 30, 40 or 50 reviews all saying that an escort is good? At what point does he have his reputation firmly in hand?

Say, for example, that Dick Cumore has 32 positive reviews, with zero no shows and not one case of VD. Why do we need review number 33? Is someone really going to cum up with something new, like, maybe his cock isn't as big as he says? I think not! So we don't need another review....hehehe, unless it dishes some dirt!:9

[Guest JH]

Yes, especially if you've posted before. I tend to ignore reviews by first timers; call me cynical but I often feel that they're by the escort himself. However, a number of positive reviews by seasoned reviewers makes me take notice.

Someting to be said for continuing consistency.

I think that additional reviews would be helpful, even after 30 have already been posted. Someone's performance, looks, or attitude can change with time, and it's good to get someone's up to date experience. Also, if an escort is highly rated but then has no reviews published for a while, one might wonder whether he is still escorting, especially if he doesn't keep a high profile by participating on the message center. What might make more sense is that the earliest reviews get deleted since they are less relevant to someone thinking about hiring the escort today (and they frequently contain inaccurate contact information as well since many escorts move, change phone numbers, and change email addresses over time).

Maybe not.

Yes, the most recent is probably the most important, generally. If your going to dump excess reviews you want to impement a FIFO stack -- first in first out -- dump the oldest not the newest. Whether negatives and positves should just be thrown together in a stack is not clear to me without more thought than I have given it.

 

What would be nice, if reviews are 'retired', would be to have arunning count of total reviews and total negatives submitted in addition to a list of 'active' reviews. Maybe an archive of old reviews would be useful. It is not clear whether either of these ideas it is worth the trouble to implement. THoughts.

 

 

Is someone really going to cum up with

>something new, like, maybe his cock isn't as big as he says?

>I think not!

 

Sometimes people go through life crises that affect behavior and attitudes. It would be nice to know if someone has become unreliable or worse. Again, if you are going to flush reviews flush the oldest and add the newest -- keep the evalutaion process current.

[Guest Tampa Yankee]

One more thought... flushing reviews will interfere at some level with Hoo's attempt to provide reviewer vetting through identification of their reviews. If someone's reviews are old and flushed then they will be put on the same basis as a first time reviewer as far as having reviews which could be checked in order to ascertain a track record for the - yet they do (did) have an established track record. This is not necessarily an insurmountable objection, just one more facet to the issue.

[+ Lucky]

What if the reviewer is old and flushed? Shouldn't he put that in his review?

The original post was about concurring good reviews. Sure, if the escort has spent some time in a locked facility since the last review, that would be worth noting, or his recent plastic surgery went terribly awry, or he has begun taking hormones prep to a sex change, or his anus has been sewed tight because of hemorhoids.

There should also be an ongoing count of how many teeth the escort has!:7

I did. :-)

And this would be determined by a pre-engagement questionaire or cross examination during the date?? :+

 

Re: limiting number of reviews: My suggestion of keeping the evaluation process current by flushing old reviews is made with some sadness, recognizing that MOST of my reviews would be assigned to the dustbin of history -- and some of them were pretty special... to me anyway.

Don't fret TY. You can save them to your computer, and then cut and paste them to posts here as needed!

Of course, you will also need to update tha part about you.

Are you saying it's been a while for you to have the company of an escort? Weren't you just in New York, frolicking among the elegant and the elite? Hmmmm.

(By the way, I went to Red too. My friend and I were the only customers.)

[Guest Derrick]

Ok here is my 2 cents.

 

I agree that the more reviews the better. I also agree on the first timer reviews.....unless of course its a veteran reporting in from the field.......Lucky, has it correct, some folks eventually are issued retirement paperwork from Mother Nature and they sometimes fail to comply with her request.........

That's a little harsh, Derrick. Rick's not that old. :+

[Guest Ant415]

it confirms that the escort is consistant.

[Losgatan]

I think the greatest value of concurring reviews is to learn whether the escort can "click" with a variety of clients. For this reason, I am as interested in what the client says about himself as what he says about the escort.

 

The escort that can satisfy clients with different agendas, weights, ages, etc., he's much more likely to satisfy me.

[marc anthony]

I have no scientific evidence to back up my upcoming statement, but it makes sense. I think new reviews help an escort's business, even if he has many previous good ones. When a new review comes up, it is posted in "Newest Reviews" and read by the many people who come to this site just to peruse that section. I know that several escorts that I have met with always say that the number of emails they get per day always increases after a new review. Sot if you liked the escort and want to help him out, I don't see how posting a new review could hurt.

>Of course, you will also need to update tha part about you.

 

My parts updated??? Hmmm... sounds like a plan. :+

 

>Are you saying it's been a while for you to have the company

>of an escort?

 

No, I didn't exactly say that... I consider three to four weeks a while. }> The last review I wrote was in Dec 01. Before that I don't recall -- a long time for sure - probably January 01. I've settled into a nice regular pattern with two, now three guys all reviewed by me -- so no need for writing reviews. Occasionally, I wander from the fold and then comment on the MC... I'll have to write more reviews I guess. A little wanderlust is overcoming me again this weekend so a review or three may be in the offing -- if I have the energy. ;-) .

 

>Weren't you just in New York, frolicking among

Hmmmmm... guilty to NY. As for" frolicking among

the elegant and the elite" ... in the eye of the beholder. Elite is appropriate to my eye.

Wasn't a whole lot better when I went. It seems that many read the message boards -- or a few read and a lot of word-of-mouth.

I wholeheartedly concur with what you wrote, for I definitely share the same sentiments and ideas. A year or so around this time, I began engaging the services of escorts. In March one escort stated that he wished more of his clients would write reviews about him. As of date--the review that was last up (and it has been months) is still up; this individual has traveled extensively, and I know he's popular. Also, he's listed amongst the "top 100 escorts" of this country--.

 

I did not write a review about our date (although I have written about seven since June) because I was "green"/inexperienced and shy when we had our date, and it was not as "hot" as it could have been because of me; I did not want to write a negative review about him. Since that time I have emailed him, and I continue to check out his site; a date will be forthcoming once he returns from Sydney.

 

Last June I had a date with a popular Brazilian escort/porn actor who is based in NYC/LA; the date was so, so--I wrote two candid reviews.In both reviews I stated that I wanted to see him again although the date was not 100% to my liking in comparison with another one I'd had the night or two nights prior.

 

Anyway, to get back to the topic at hand: Let the men continue to write. Suggest that they discuss their time with the escort; vary the message if at all possible.

 

As a "Hooboy" junkie, I read reviews daily; I like good, creative writing; I like tell-tell reviews; I like hot reviews; (Yesterday's review of fabulous Papi had me emailing him; he has since emailed me in return; we will be on soon. His photo and the last review helped tremendously.

 

I don't like to read that the escort was intelligent or conversant or that he looked better than his photographs; I will take these components as a given; after a while that information really becomes TIRED as well as trite. None of my six reviews (Axiom12) mentioned these facets. I wrote about my time with the escort.

 

By the way, all of my reviews have been extremely complimentary and candid. I have been with some escorts where our meeting was so, so and the escorts were interested in meeting me again, but I was not. So I chalked it up as a non-event, and that's that's.

 

Previous reviewers have enhanced my meeting and selecting the BETTER escorts in the field. That's why I asked you men to assist me when I asked about the "BEST" in LV.

 

Perhaps Hooboy can add some new or different response questions to generate variety.

 

Sorry, men, I apologize for the vebosity. Keep the reviews coming-- 1 and more! :) :9 :9

I don't have figures to back this up, but I'd say I typically got about twice as much email during weeks where I've been reviewed. Granted a lot of it was "future based" -- I'm going to be in Chicago "sometime" -- but I still think it's helpful for the escort, and I think it lets people know that guys who are reviewed are still working.
