Rick Munroe's less than glowing review??

[Guest jeffOH]

Is this review for real? I woke up this afternoon and as I was having my first cup of coffee I got on the computer to check out the latest M4M reviews. What was this? Up was down and down was up!? I just couldn't make sense of it. Was it all a dream? "I knew it couldn't be a dream because there were no boy dancers",(Blanche Devereaux).}>

 

What exactly was missing from this encounter? Can an escort suffer from too much hype? Does the bar get raised with each worshipful review? Opinions?

Hooboy posted it, why would you not think it was real? Rick or any escort for that matter is not above it all as you imply. Expectations, well it seems that guy wanted to fuck Rick who frequently has stated he is versatile, yet wasn't "prepared." I give reviewer and Hooboy 2 thumbs up for submitting and posting the review.

 

Cheers! Ritchie

My post must have read more serious than I intended. I was really wondering if a ton of great reviews can build an escort up so much that a client might be expecting a 3-ring circus. I'm versatile also,

but I don't always prepare to get fucked before every client. I appreciate a client telling me that in advance. I think the client should have said something to Rick when setting up the appointment. Perhaps then he wouldn't have had his "bit of a disappointment".

I agree, Jeff (and thanks for creating this thread; I never would have known about that review). I've said it here before: it isn't healthy to douche before every job "just in case." Now, the issue of whether or not to be explicit on the phone has been disucussed here before, as well. I think a simple, "I'm a top; is that cool?" will suffice & let the escort know what is expected. Anyway, I told the client who wrote that review (which isn't really a bad review and I appreciate his honesty) when I was leaving, "Next time, I'll know you're a top ;-)" and he replied, basically, "I'm not necessarily a 'top'...it was just a spontaneous thing. I didn't really know in advance what I wanted."

[Guest jeffOH]

A simple "I'm a top" or something to that effect is plenty of info. I agree that it's not a good idea to be douching all that much. I don't know about Rick, but I tend to be top most of the time so I don't prepare to get fucked unless I know that is something the client will want to do.

Rick, you don't read your reviews on this site? I find that very hard to believe. In fact, I don't believe it.

Of course I read my reviews, if someone tells me one has been posted. That's what I meant. I don't regularly check the Newest Reviews because I don't hire escorts, and my reviews only come out once a month, if at all. Thanks for catching that...between you and BewareofNick (the grammar watchdog), we're all learning to be careful of what we say & how we spell it! :-)

Gentlemen:

 

I offer these words as an additional opinion. When I read the aforementioned review of the Mighty Magnificent Monumental Mr. Munroe I didn't find it negative at all. I found it to be frank, open and honest which is I think what this site is about.

Sometimes people just don't "click". I for one always imagined that upon meeting Mother Theresa I would be less than awed. Doesn't make her or me a bad person. We just wouldn't click.

As for you Mr. Jeff.....we'll evaluate "clicking" after April.}>

By the way. I too enjoy the reviews with that first morning brew.

 

Sincerely,

 

H B

 

P S Sometimes I'm basically a top but then I've been known to change my mind but only occasionally.

[Guest Chazzz69]

I read the reveiw and did not find it negative at all, and Rick's response about "Lucy the Escort" was not only funny but also acknowledged the problem and he takes responsiblity for his part of the episode.

 

As a client, I feel that it is my responsiblity to make it very clear what I want when hiring an escort. I am versatile myself but a lot depends on my mood at the time and whether or not the chemistry is right with the escort.

 

I do not assume that just because someone is listed as "versatile" he is always ready to play top or bottom out. When I set up an appointment I ususally refer to "trading fucks" with the escort. That ususally gets a laugh from both of us on what all that can mean. He knows to come prepared and I am of course prepared as well. If I am going to get my ass plowed, its going to be primed and ready for the experience.

 

Rick, thanks for bring up the health issue and that people should not make assumptions. When you were in DC last month I was hoping to see you, however, personal matters prevented such. If I am in NYC later this spring or you are back here, I will certainly be looking forward to eating out that nice ass of yours and "trading fucks".:9

HB,

 

Well, that's good to know. I'll make sure I'm clean as a whistle, but if you do "change your mind", I'll be ready for that also.}> See you in April.

Amazing how from one review, Jeff is willing to believe that Rick is just so much hype. Then again, what would drama queens be without a little drama, eh?

 

I like to look at it this way. Rick's had 37 good reviews and 2 not so good ones (Is that count right? I really haven't gone back and looked) To me, those 2 negative reviews are the exceptions that prove the rule.

 

Another testimony to Rick's character is how he handled his response. He wasn't like the "Legitimate, Gorgeous" escort (Dr. Christian, with his doctorate in cosmotology). Rick simply said, yup, I take some responsibility for this. Sounds pretty good to me.

[Guest jeffOH]

>queens be without a little drama, eh?

 

First of all, I'm not into drama nor am I a "queen". My statement about "hype" was meant to be a general statement about escorts who have numerous glowing reviews(including myself). I was not saying that "Rick is just so much hype" nor do I believe that to be the case.

 

I was just wondering if other escorts view the reviews as I do. While I greatly appreciate reviews I have received, there can be a downside to so much "hype". Especially when a client says something like, "I hope you live up to your reviews,". I feel like the pressure is on to

really deliver and as evidenced Rick's latest review, we can't always please all clients all the time. That's all I meant by my post.:-)

[BewareofNick]

Well, not being 'into' drama doesn't mean you are not surrounded by it

 

As you explain it in this follow up post, I can see what you are talking about. It's like the restaurants that get glowing review after glowing review. The expectations that are there with regard to the dining experience become so high, that if the restaurant has an off day, the custoemrs who cum that day may think the establishment is all hype.

[Guest alanm]

We all know that Rick is a good guy and his response to the review confirms it. No one is perfect. As many other people have said, I learn more about an escort from an escort's response to even a slightly negative review than 5 glowing reviews. I know an escort

very well who has six or seven great reviews and one negative review.

He is an absolutely first rate escort, but there is some truth in the one negative review (he was overbooked that night). That one negative review makes him seem much more like the human being whom he is, rather than the somewhat idealized person presented in all the other reviews. As I said earlier, no one is perfect.

[Rick Munroe]

>Rick's had 37 good reviews

>and 2 not so good ones (Is that count right?

 

Actually, it's 38 good and 1 not-so-good but who's counting?

[Guest jeffOH]

The restaurant analogy is right on. As adaptable to most situations as I am, there are occasionally sessions with clients that I felt didn't go all that well. I suppose I am very critical of my own performance. Try as we might, we can't satisfy everyone.

 

There's a Chicago escort who I hired last March who I didn't think lived up to all the talk on here and especially on the Muscle Service

Site. He didn't "scratch my itch" so to speak, so I drove home to Columbus and called up my regular escort.}>

I guess I might feel differently once I've got 30+ reviews to my name, but for now I'll take the hype. Yes, the reviews are a type of pressure, but that's why we pull in the big bucks. And just as frequently the reviews take the pressure off -- the client feels like he knows me, in a way, and is already predisposed to like me. Plus they can give a sense of what we escorts are especially into. The twins have been very impressed with how nearly all the clients who found me on HooBoy's site know how much they like their attention. :9

 

I also can't ignore the numbers. When a new review posts, the hits to my website go up for several days, as do contacts from clients who say they saw me you-know-where. But again this may stop being true once you have eleventy-bazillion reviews.

 

I will admit I do sometimes feel extra pressure when I'm seeing someone who has told me he's written multiple reviews, because I figure a bad or lukewarm review from him would carry more weight and do more damage. But the fact is, ANYBODY could be that reviewer, and I really want to show my client, whoever he is, a great time THIS time. ("Every time" is too ambitious and theoretical. Just make THIS time a great time, and worry about next time, well, next time.)Besides, reading reviews a client has written about others can give insights into his likes and dislikes.

 

>I feel like the pressure is on to

Well, he did get a satisfactory and a 'yes' on the 'did he live up' questions. The blowjob rep's intact. And his reply was funny, classy, gracious and assumed responsibility. Betcha that review'll grab him more new clients than it loses.

 

Memo to my clients: don't be afraid to hype me. I can take it. Really. :* :7

Wow! The things you learn on this board! I had no idea Mother Theresa was an escort! This explains so much!

[+ Axiom2001]

As one who reads the reviews of certain escorts almost daily, I really thought this review was more positively candid than negative.

I think more is being made out of this than necessary. Mr. Munroe even has a response today.

 

Rick, man, your and Derek's reviews are glowing! They've gotten me hooked.

 

A huge hug to you! Let's go on with life!

You are, "dear"! An allusion to a previous response by one who writes profusely on this site!

[Guest jeffOH]

Yeah, the reviewer did say yes to the "live up to" questions, but he also gave a "satisfactory" instead of "recommended" and said "NO" to hiring him again. I just wonder if his review would have been different had he gotten to pound Rick's hole? I suppose if I was to review all the escorts I have hired over the years, I would only review the ones with whom I had a great time or a bad time. If I hired an escort who wasn't prepared to be fucked(and I hadn't told him in advance that's what I wanted) I would accept the responsibility for that rather than writing a review in which I made it sound like it was the escort's fault I was disappointed. I would also make a point to hire him again to give that ass a good workout!}>

I'll concede your point that access to Mr. Munroe's hole would no doubt cheer up even the most curmudgeonly critic. :*

[+ Unicorn]

I know I'm jumping into this a little late, but was there a reason Rick didn't call once he had the number to (1) apologize, and (2) ask if it was OK to come at 12:20 AM instead of the 11:30 PM he requested? Or did he just show up 50 minutes late and assume it would be OK? Was there some kind of discount to make up for Rick's error?

[Southern Blue Suicide]

Hello,

 

I just appreciate an escort posting a coherent response without name calling or tons of typos. Thad(NYC's) review response disturbs me using "black male" for blackmail... just one of the numerous errors. But, I understand that an escort's duty is to be "hot" rather than pass a composition class. lol You can't have it all.
