Do you ask for reviews?

[gallahadesquire]

I'm curious. A relatively new escort, who I shall see tomorrow (with marked anticipation!), has 11 reviews on rentmen.eu, and none on Daddy's.

 

I'm going to ask if he wants a review, but I'm curious:

• How many escorts ask for a review?
  
• If asked, how many escorts accept the review?
  
• How many refuse?
  

I know that, on at least one instance, I sent the "review" to the escort before submitting it. He was rather pleased, and it went on to be published as was.

[big-n-tall]

I get some who ask, but most don't. For those that don't, they either don't care or have no idea about the review site.

 

Sometimes I'll ask a guy if he wants a review and he'll say no. Some guys don't want the attention a review might bring. VM and another guy, D.O., both I've seen multiples over the years, don't want reviews. They just prefer not to have them. Some reviews have slipped through, but I'm certain if they had a choice, neither would want them.

 

Sometimes I have to explain what Daddy's is to a working guy. They usually tell me yes or no after I explain. Some are excited about it and some, again, could care less.

 

I have never submitted my review to an escort first before submitting it to Daddy's. When the review is posted I will inform the guy though.

 

This doesn't relate to your inquiry exactly, but for some guys I've seen many times over the years... if they have a ton of reviews, I don't feel compelled to do one for them... unless they ask. I tend to ask new guys or men with very few reviews if they want one.

 

Only one guy ever, asked me to do a review, but I refused because the experience (which I brought up before on the forum) was so bad... I just couldn't do it. Especially since he seemed oblivious to how awful the meet up was. I guess being cracked out will do that for ya.

If I've bad a good time with a new escort/masseur I always do a review. I always tell them ahead and in every instance appreciated it very much. I've also done them for my "regulars ". It's a great thing to do as it adds a very positive aspect to the relationship.

I usually send a thank you text each time i meet with someone, be it the day after, or as I'm leaving a city on a trip. I, more often than not, ask for reviews. If I've asked once or twice, and they haven't, I'll back off, but at least after the first time, I'll ask.

 

I do internet marketing as my 9-5, and there are dozens of studies out there, at least for brick-and-mortar businesses, that say that people will look at online reviews before making a purchase.

 

Plus here, It can be hard to vet yourself against others, and real reviews, though not 100% telling, can be a way to help vet yourself. So I know that reviews on all sites - including here - have helped me a ton.

[MartyB]

Shawn it's almost an u written part of the contract for me to post a positive review for a great time I've had with an escort particularly for a first time. For my regulars i never take it for granted Nd post when appropriate. I like the way you interact. We need to meet. Lol

[ChristianCronin]

I have no reviews and for that reason, I've asked numerous clients. I still have none.

 

A client once said he's not going to review me so that hopefully I'll be free whenever he's available and another said the process takes a few weeks?

[MartyB]

No disrespect to your clients but I don't get it. It's easy to do and the least one can do.

[Shawn Monroe]

I do believe that for new members of rentmen the process can take some time. One of my clients said it took him 2 weeks after signing up before they let him review.

 

That first reason is bogus and selfish though. He should want to review you so your business grows and you continue to stay in the business. But I'm not everyone.

No. I do not ask for reviews. I mean if a client really really wants to then that is fine, otherwise it is their business that they hired me and whatever we did without broadcasting it to the world. I really try to keep the experience discreet.

[Pepper Young]

I always leave a review on RM. It's easy and seems to post right away. If I see the same escort numerous times, however, I don't review each time; repeat business is the best review.

I would also add that repeat reviews are encouraging (and helpful) for an escort's business.

That client was thick-headed. Even if you're going to operate on totally selfish motives, you should want an escort's business to flourish so that he stays in the business. Some people are just idiots and there is just no fixing stupid.

I've heard that "keep them to myself" view expressed in many reviews here, hopefully it's just joking. But it does take a few weeks, at least here; not sure about rent.men reviews.

[+ VictorPowers]

I do not ask for reviews. I love to receive them, but I feel it'd be like my Uber driver asking for a tip. Sure they can solicit, and it may work.. but if someone wants to go out of their way for a review they'd do it. If a client asked me to review, I'd say Hell yeah go for it. I used to be upset about my low review numbers, but RM has 11 last I checked. I'm happy with that. Now if I just had a presence here now that it's opened back up

[+ BenjaminNicholas]

There is nothing wrong with politely asking for reviews, especially if you're just starting off and need to build a base of reputation.

 

Clients who openly refuse to review you based on the 'getting too popular' excuse are clients you don't want. Drop them, move onto people who want to see you do well.

 

Quality clients out there understand that a working guy can be popular, achieve a realistic life balance and continue to be a great escort.

I do not mind when I am asked for a review AFTER A GOOD EXPERIENCE. It troubles me when I am asked after a mediocre performance.

This is how it was when I signed up earlier this year.

I've written reviews for a few who I thought were great. I have also written a few for those who were not great (didn't show up, didn't perform agreed service) and in all cases RM would not publish a negative review - so just know that when reading reviews.

I disagree with your assertion. I think "dropping" a client because they don't want to review you - regardless of their stated reasoning - is bad business. I can understand that when a client finds a guy he likes, he could be concerned that his positive review might make you popular enough that you might not be as available to him as he might like. It can be a significant emotional, physical, and financial investment to find the "right" guy and it seems disrespectful of that process and the client to react negatively to someone who is hoping to continue to hire you.

 

In answer to the thread, I don't ask for reviews. I did suggest once to a client that he could feel free to leave a review and that was the moment that I felt the "transactional" aspect of this work in a way that felt uncomfortable. I've never asked or suggested again.

[MassageDrew]

As a client, I've only been asked once to write a review in exchange for a discounted rate for my next booking. I was happy to oblige as I was going to write a review regardless. He was good and I thought it should not go unnoticed.

 

In general, I have taken the time to write a review from those whom I felt met or exceeded my expectations. I do not write bad reviews as I don't think they'll post it anyway. But, I wouldn't hesitate to give anyone my honest opinion when asked via PM from forums such as this site.

It's not dropping a client who refuses to review you: It's eliminating a client who doesn't wish to see you do well. There's a huge difference.

 

We can agree to disagree on this one fine sir

I totally agree with the last part. I asked a guy if he wanted a review and to me the entire vibe changed. It went from being an emotionally wonderful experience for me to feeling like it was something "dirty". I don't ask. I'll give the review with out asking if someone wants it.
