Why do men post reviews?

Even if there is many reviews on the lady in question, posting you review shows a pattern of consistency on the part of the SP. I definitely see value in posting many times on the same lady even though she has been reviewed before numerous times. Most guys will draw from the review the most important pieces relevant to them and decide whether t he SP is a go or not. Whether a customer brings a gal to sexual climax, moaning, etc etc probably is the lest important of the review but definitely sets the tone for what they might be able to expect if book with the gal.

Cheers!

I have had it said to me by a few people that for some men it is a form of lockeroom bravado. The post about their studly exploits in a way to elicit envy from other men....."look at me, i made the lady moan and writhe, rang her bell half a dozen times, I am Much Man" Is this true? Do you use your review to stroke your own ego?
I am honestly puzzled I guess.
I would appreciate honest input as well as open discussion. Perhaps some insight may come of it.

5. Number 1 hands down, "look at who I nailed" or "pity me"

I last wrote my reviews under another handle and always felt, when warranted I wrote an honest objective review. Well apparently that lies in the eyes of the reader and my last review deeply offended the lady and created my last visit with her.

So, i have maintained a "no review" policy and quietly and privately enjoy my companions. I am aware that it is a valued review board, but vowed never to offend another lady!

Sorry Guys

I don't understand. You had a bad experience. You wrote and honest, negative review. She got upset (and presumably pissed on you). So what? She's the one who needs to deal with customer feedback.

btw, even without reviews, Terb is a fantastic forum for social interaction. It has critical mass of volume and the members are reasonably intelligent and insightful. Other sites, like RFD, have more traffic, but the members are f-ing boring. Another high-traffic site is CGN, but there you've got some seriously nutso people.... So, reviews or not, I like this place!
 
I love reviews lol :) I find reviews for sure help the sp get more biz.... that's if she has good reviews:)

I must say that not only I love reading reviews about me but also I read other sp's reviews. Reviews not only help the hobbiests but I find it helps sps in many ways not only to get biz but to screen clients. I am sure I am not the only one and if I am then here is a trick for my girlfriends:) lol

If somebody books me and I have the handle I go read their reviews on other sps.... It helps me a bit in understanding what type of person he is.. and what he likes and if I should even book him.

I also read reviews on other sps to help me better my services.... maybe I will find a new trick or position I have not done before :) I look at bad reviews to learn on what not to do etc.

In regards to reviewing the same sp over and over again... I seen a few good points including the one about making sure the sp is still as good now as she was a few months ago. It helps me also to know if i am getting better or worst or the same lol

ok i am rambling on... REVIEWS ARE GOOD FOR ALL :)
 
I wrote reviews when I've seen someone who hasn't already been reviewed extensively. When I see my regulars - Kate (indy), Sam @RM, Chelsea @Mirage - I don't post a review because there are dozens of reviews avaliable. Although I may post a new one for Chelsea the next time I see her, as she's been away for a few months now.
 
Its the guys version of a PSA....
all sorts of factors reflect the substance of the review also....
a change in her attitude(..its me...you're lucky I decided to see you)
A change in menu...for better...or sometimes worse...
Whether or not there is still value there for our money...
does the service change depending on time of day....1st client of the day or last...
does attitude change based on time of visit....
EGO...is maybe 10% of it.
For the ladies with multiple reviews ..and all good....this basically...for lack of a better term...keeps them honest...refer to first point
Lots of thought..well for some goes into it....with a little chest thumping...but not alot...
 
I first checked out terb in 2004 after having a REALLY bad experience at a spa in Vaughan. I was just searching the net to see if anyone else had horrible experiences as I did. Some people use this site as a marketing tool but I have always used it to help out my fellow hobbyists. No one likes to get ripped off.
Heck, I had the bait and switch done to me and almost got robbed.
 
You could actually ask the same question for all the junk that gets posted on social media. The amount of junk people post about random shit amazes me.

I can't speak for others but I can tell you why I post reviews.

I found several reviews I read some years ago very helping in making choices. Then I figured I should pitch in if I expect to get helpful information from others.

No more complicated than that. No pseudo-freudian analysis required.

Well said. Research produces great outcomes.

When I posted a review of you,...it was saying,...thank you, :wink:

Bragging rights? Terb is anonymous; what's the point of bragging?
 
Reviews serve as a useful filter. There are so many possible ladies to see at any given time, so how do you choose who to see?
Looks are a definite hit or miss (especially with Photoshop!) but reviews usually give you a good indication of what you're going to get. That's not to say they're fool-proof; I've had very good sessions with girls others have not liked at all, and on the flip side, probably my worst experience in this hobby was with a girl who was very well reviewed (did not review that one!)

As for the content of the review.. it just comes down to style. I enjoy reading some of the reviews that read like a letter to Penthouse (does that still exist these days?), and so I usually try (with much less eloquence) to write detailed reviews. Some of it may be "boasting" but that's no different than talk at a bar or in the locker room. So long as it's honest and accurate, it's all good.

Yes, there are shills - and, on the flip side, those with an axe to grind - but it's usually not too difficult to pick those guys out after they've written a few reviews.
 
I'll add.. I've found reading reviews to be quite helpful to my hobbying career, and so writing my own is sort of "giving back" to the community.
 
As i'm a bit of a cynic and don't believe all the altruistic notions of "giving back" are 100% sincere (or at least that there's a deeper reason for contributing than pure altruism), i'm going to offer the theory that this is really not much different than having a conversation with a group of people with whom you share a common interest. Like talking about cars, or sailing or whatever, except that i'm willing to bet most of the people on here have literally no other outlet for conversation about hobbying except for this board. Writing a review is not only beneficial to the readers, but also to the reviewer as it's an opportunity to share your experiences, in the same way as you might be excited to tell your friends about your recent vacation or what you did on the long weekend, etc....
 
Even with numerous reviews, there might be something the 5th reviewer describes which may be a turn on/off.
And repeat reviews are also good to see if her service gets better or worse or stays about the same.

Good to know by the way. :)

I was reviewed extensively in 2006-07. Soon after I returned from retirement in 2012, I changed my services. Thanks to reviews, this change was noted and helped potential clients make an informed decision about seeing me. Some that had seen me prior to the introduction of bbbj decided to no longer see me. Others decided to take the plunge.

When I was a 19 year old escort working for an agency, it was suggested by a Terb member that I go indy, start touring and switch to incalls. Before my first incall, I must have read every review I could find to see how to do everything right. I spent over a month researching. I learned what guys look for in the bathroom of an incall, scheduling tips, and essentially where I could go wrong.

My point is that reviews assist both the hobbyist and the provider.

I look at it as a "how can I help me help you".

There's an ebb and flow to the board. Back in the day, it was very much about sharing experiences (good and bad) and good natured banter. Then ppl figured out that reviews can be an effective marketing tool and the shilling began. For a time, it seemed like only fanboys and fanatics posted reviews, undoubtedly to win the favour of the subject ladies/spa. The reviews were not necessarily false, but they were highly favourable and negative comments were berated. That seems to have toned down now. But, because of that experience, the "real" reviews and information exchange has shifted to PMs and PM-circles.

This is where the real info gets shared. There is a whole other world to TERB that members here do not know about at all.

I agree. While I know some men are more in the number 2 and 3 category as they are true hobbyist who see this as a hobby so sharing is apart of the overall experience of being in this "world", the rest who are more about the sex, it is usually bragging in my opinion or being really pissed off and wanting some form of revenge.

Bragging is more about what you say then the people who listen to it.
