Why do a review if .......

[Philly Guy]

Guys:

 

I was reading the latest review of Mike in Atlanta and it reminded me of a point of continued frustration with Daddy's Reviews; reviewers that stop short of discussing the TOTAL experience (ie the sex).

 

"I won't go into alot of detail about our time together. Just suffice to say it was awesome"

 

Why do the review if you don't want to inform the readers about the total experience?

 

When I see a review by KYTOP or Silver Dollar, for example, I know it is credible and accurate. When I do a review you can take it to the bank as well.

 

If you were reviewing any other provider of Professional Services (A litigator for instance) you would describe the experience in the court room. You would not say "the lawyer arrived on time and wore a nicer suit than any of the other attorneys but I will leave the other details of the case between us".

 

Just my opinion

I totally agree. I always appreciate the reviews of KYTOP (even though I'm a bottom) and others who provide a detailed account of the experience. Mike has been on my radar for a long time but before I invest in a plane ticket for him, I want to be certain he will deliver what I hope for. I live in an area pretty much devoid of escorts so have to invest a lot of time and money to get my needs satisfied. This site has served me well most of the time.

Though I agree with your complaint this issue has been discussed ad infinitum nauseam on this board. Many of us have come to the conclusion that even though this type of review is completely useless it isn't really Daddy's role to start eliminating reviews because of their lack of explicitness. Once the Pandora's box of censorship is opened it is difficult to close. I simply read reviews like this one and then quickly dismiss them as worthless.

I completely sympathize with the disappointment in reviews that lack detail of for example how well the escort topped or performed as a bottom.

 

Still it's hard for me to imagine that the review is worthless. Not when we hear about escorts that have lied about their size, not shown up, stolen from their clients, or refuse to kiss.

 

Consider that the reviewer may not be into more than he wrote and leaving out the details may mean that there aren't any details. Or that the reviewer is embarassed or believes (incorrectly IMHO) that his particular proclivity is too obscure to interest others.

 

Once a client wanted only to hug and then talk to me about the bible, with our clothes on. It would be just as well for him to leave out the details.

 

I'm incredibly anxious for someone to post about how I pounded them from every imaginable position non-stop for two hours, fucked them while sucking them. Or deep throated them while licking their balls.

But seeing how slow and difficult it is to get a review posted here I'd settle for someone saying I showed up on time and had a nice suit.

Derek and I had a similar experience, but it wasn't the bible. It turns out he was a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman, and we are now the proud owners (so far) of Volumes A through J.

I am not sure what you are hoping for, but I do most highly recommend Mike. I am not a bottom, so can not speak to his top skills. Nor did I ask him to bottom - don't think he does. I did enjoyed making out with him and his company in general.

 

I have often wondered why he doesn't get more press and seems to be flying low under the radar. He is definitely ranks as one of my top escort experiences.

I have wondered do people really take reviews seriously.

As a massage therapist iv given around 5000 massages but only have 10 to 15 reviews. And none of my regular clients ever leave reviews its always the one timers. I see some massage guys on line with close to if not over 100 reviews I always figured they wrote their own reviews or asked clients to write one for them..

I agree, Raul. Any review, except a fake one (or one written by the escort himself), has value. At the end of the day, specific details may not be all that useful given that everyone has different interests and each situation develops quite differently according to the actors involved.

 

Consider that the reviewer may not be into more than he wrote and leaving out the details may mean that there aren't any details. Or that the reviewer is embarassed or believes (incorrectly IMHO) that his particular proclivity is too obscure to interest others.

 

That may be, or it could be that either the client or the escort thinks specific details are no one's business but their own. It seems to me that you already highlighted the genuinely transcendent aspects of any review in your first paragraph.

 

Once a client wanted only to hug and then talk to me about the bible, with our clothes on. It would be just as well for him to leave out the details.

 

Playing the devil's advocate here, if we are being treated to details, this is just as interesting, not to mention extraordinary, that leaving out that detail would be an injustice! :+ (Can't imagine why you wouldn't want us to know about it - might open a whole new market for you ;-) )

 

I'm incredibly anxious for someone to post about how I pounded them from every imaginable position non-stop for two hours, fucked them while sucking them. Or deep throated them while licking their balls.

 

Damn, would I like to write THAT review! My fee is negotiable }(

 

But seeing how slow and difficult it is to get a review posted here I'd settle for someone saying I showed up on time and had a nice suit.

 

Cue Carly Simon's "Anticipation."

 

A suit? ... Oh yeah, I forgot about your suit. Probably because suits do nothing for me. (A reminder that excrutiating detail is not always what it is cracked up to be!)

[alanalt]

I think there can be value in even a brief review. For example, you might find out that an escort travels, or even that he's still in the business. And if it's a first review of an escort, then anything the reviewer says might be more information than we knew beforehand.

 

Trying to objectively relay a totally subjective experience can be a tough challenge. If people aren't comfortable discussing the sexual activities in detail, that's perfectly understandable to me. I'd rather have the opportunity to read a couple of sentences saying the reviewer had a great time, then pass on the review altogether. It's not like we're being inundated with masses of reviews to sort through each day anyhow...

 

Personally, I don't find I need a lot of explicit sexual detail. What I look for in an escort review are examples of him communicating well (before and during a session), taking care of himself (i.e. good hygiene, well-groomed, etc.) and that he makes an honest effort to please his customers. If I want more details than that, I'm just happy to contact him and ask him directly. But that's just my viewpoint.

 

If you don't find a particular review useful, that's fine. I think we all run into reviews we don't find helpful on a regular basis. But try to remember that just because a particular review didn't mean anything to you, that's not necessarily going to apply to everyone who read it.

I agree with alanalt. Some reviewers are just not comfortable putting in a lot of personal detail, and I think we have to respect that. For myself over the course of the past four years or so, I have found these reviews to be generally very useful in helping me to decide whether or not to contact a particular escort. Then I usually follow-up with the escort by email just to get a better sense as to how compatible we might be. With only one exception (an escort who I now believe was writing his own reviews), this procedure has usually worked well for me.

As both a reader and a reviewer, I have mixed feelings about this subject. On the one hand, I enjoy reading a review with lots of explicit details, both as entertainment and as information in the event that I might be interested in hiring the escort. On the other hand, when writing a review, I have to think about what is interesting and/or necessary to include. Must I describe every banal action that occurs ("we talked for a few minutes, and then he took my hand and placed it in his crotch, and then I unzipped his jeans and began to..." etc.)? What acts are significant? Will the escort remember the encounter differently and contest my statement that he kissed/sucked/fucked/came-in-my-mouth, etc.? Is my overall impression more important than the acts?

 

My early reviews tended toward the blow-by-blow (literally) description, but over the years they have become more vague, since it seems to me that it is more important to let the potential client know that I think he will or won't have a good time with this escort, not that he will or won't engage in specific acts. After all, the escort who kisses me may not want to kiss you, or who refuses to be fucked by me may easily surrender his ass to you. Nowadays, I'm actually happy to know that Raul has a nice suit and arrives on time, and I'm content to let the reviewer keep the most intimate details to himself.

[BigK]

I agree with Raul and others that any review is worthwhile. I know that I don't usually go into great detail when writing a review, although I do try to avoid the dreaded "will remain between the two of us".

 

In my case, and I speculate in others as well, I think that the modesty in the discussion of sexual matters that I was raised with holds me back a little from getting too graphic. In my case it's also a matter of poor writing skills.
