YMMV -an observation

[solitaria]

It's funny how often this acronym is used here to the point of being absurd. Posters use it under the auspice of being part of a terb brotherhood of benevolence but can that really be so? I often wonder where all these really helpful and concerned people who are so quick to offer the caveat of YMMV after stating they got DFK and BBBJ are in the real world.

I always thought if you paid for it you shouldn't brag about even if the price or experience was better than another hobbyist who also paid for it. Actually you shouldn't be bragging about it period but if you do brag about sex shouldn't the bravado of recounting the sexual conquests be from the implication that if a highly desirable woman fucked you (and not a million other guys for cash as well) then you must possess those same highly desirable traits on the male side of things? The terb YMMV kind of reminds me of a sitcom I saw where this old fat bald guy was bragging that in his prime he never had to pay full price for hookers.

The point of this post is that I am hoping to make the dialogue in the review sections a little more transparent and honest. After some smuck says that he got LFK with girl A but you figure your experience with girl A constitutes DFK instead of posting "girl A gave me DFK, YMMV" right after his review can't the lexicon just be "girl A gave me me DFK and not you - that must mean that I am more terb studly". Just say what you mean.

Therefore I suggest Terb needs to ban YMMV for sure. "Taking one for the team" can be next. No one fucks a girl for a team. They might fuck a girl and post about it on terb later to get attention but in the end it is just about you and your dick so let's stop pretending.

Too deep for us brother, yu must of went to wun of dem universidies or college places or sumting, I herd about dem!

Totally agree with you. YMMV is about the most chickensh*t acronym going.

 

[great bear]

Obviously you two doing the complaining have been on the wrong side of YMMV.

Best reply yet.

 

[Never Compromised]

With their attitude, do you have to wonder why they are on the wrong side of YMMV

And FWIW, I get super service from one SP that goes well above and beyond what other guys seem to get, but I've also recieved a more mechanical "lets just get this over and done with" service from SP's that have been well reviewed.

So, YMMV really does happen.

nothing wrong with YMMV

I don't understand why there would be any problem with 'YMMV.' I imagine it would be a far more enjoyable experience if you knew the girl was doing the things she was doing because she wanted to, not just because you are paying her to. If you are sweet and polite, disarming, and clean, then I'm sure you will have a most satisfying time, and you will not have to worry about YMMVs. It's the guys that go in expecting 'xyz' because they read it here, or whatnot, that are setting themselves up for disappointment.

...instead of posting "girl A gave me DFK, YMMV" right after his review can't the lexicon just be "girl A gave me me DFK and not you - that must mean that I am more terb studly". Just say what you mean.

I like to think that when gentlemen are posting reviews, the couldn't care less about coming across as more 'terb studly' ... because surely that isn't anything to be proud of. Mentioning YMMV simply lets people know that the girl isn't a pushover and wont do everything for every client.

Basically what it comes down to is: if you are a good client, then YMMV shouldn't irk you in the least

I'd say most predictable reply yet.

If a poster believes that YMMV applies then there is no point in reviewing his experience. Reviews are only relevant if the product or service is comparable across purchases.

Why do you think guys say YMMV only after they have received good service and not bad service? Is it really for the benefit of other hobbyists? It's a very obvious shallow attempt at bragging.

Agreed. So does the disclaimer after so many reviews serve any purpose?

I agree with you. Some guys think of YMMV as a great achievement. I guess they are just living their fantasy and they want to feel that they are better than others.

Also, I find it funny when they brag about how many times they made the SP cum and how the SP says stuff to them.

Some funny quotes that were posted by someone:

"Being a young and cute guy I usually get the YMMV benefit. Every single SP that I see gets surprised when I tell them that I don't have a girlfriend."

"She told me she could go on kissing me for hours."

"She tells me if I was your girlfriend I would make love to you three times in a day and all night during the weekends. She goes on that I am like a treat for her."

"Sex was the best, I mean I am pretty good in bed, but this was exceptional."

"Believe me, I get it when some one fakes an O, 90% of the time. This cant be wrong, shivering, powerful orgasms, phew!! She keeps telling me I am wonderful, I know I am, but when I am with her, I am better than ever."

By the way your name means lonely woman. I don't know if that's what you intended.

Shouldn't Canadians use YKMV?

Sorry, but that's silly. When rating a car's mileage, YMMV implies that if YOU in particular are a lead-footed, jack-rabbit starter, don't be surprised if you don't receive the expected satisfaction advertised.

The same holds true here, except the specifics (lead footedness or jack-rabbit starting) don't quite translate

Why do you think guys say YMMV only after they have received good service and not bad service? Is it really for the benefit of other hobbyists? It's a very obvious shallow attempt at bragging.

Actually, from MY perspective, it means 'Fellas, treat this girl as you would any lady from whom you'd like a very good time, and she won't disappoint' and I know that definitely rings true where I'm concerned.

If you feel a fellow is boasting, don't deny the rest of the community the opportunity to get the VERY good advice 'treat her well, come clean, be polite and appreciative... etc etc' just because YOU believe it's another TERBite's way of grandstanding. If YOU wish, you may psychologically discount or even belittle those guys who post such comments; that way no one else has to censor themselves to suit you.

You don't understand men.

Forgive me, I clearly lack your years of experience meeting and entertaining men erotically. You've got me there. (wink)

YMMV is a way for a provider to have a base level of service that every client can enjoy, then a few "perks" that she can choose to grant as she sees fit. Face it, some of us arent very appealing to be with.

Many girls who openly advertise "no kissing" and CBJ will bend those rules for regulars or guys they are comfortable with. But they cant promise those little gifts to everyone, because they dont want everyone to EXPECT IT.

Face reality. This business functions on a personal level as well as a business level. The transaction fee entitles you to the services that the provider readily advertises to the world. But how she responds to you as a client and a gentleman may determine if she chooses (key word) to go above and beyond those stated limits.

What's so difficult to understand?

My post was not regarding whether or not YMMV exists. Of course it does. Nothing can ever be the same even among the same two people never mind differing sets of people.

My observation was just regarding the context in which people choose to bring up the YMMV term. I would say it is used by posters who desperately want to believe they are something more to a hooker than they actually are and they rationalize this by thinking in terms of being on the right side of YMMV. It is almost as if the experience is less about the sex itself (in which case relativity wouldn't matter) and more about being perceived as desirable by the mileage they obtain compared to other hobbyists even though it would seem ludicrous to the sane mind that one could feel any sense of achievement with the bar set so positively low. I really don't understand how anyone could put any stock in a paid for fantasy yet so many do on terb and you can see it through the language they use in their reviews and particularly the YMMV acronym.

Hey Muffie - I see by your reviews that you love to use the YMMV term in your reviews. Every review it seems important for you to distinguish that you might be receiving better service based on being a superior client of some sort. Even your handle "MuffinMuncher and very good at" implies that how you are perceived sexually is very important to you. Why is that? I don't think I am too far off the mark when I say that posters that use the YMMV do it to make the distinction in their mind that they are more desirable in some way than others.

Thank you Doctor Freud.

I use it in recognition that the experience that I have may or may not be the same as what others get, no mention of whether that would be better or worse. I've been on the short side of YMMV plenty of times compared to what other members have received.

Your obsession with me is a little disturbing. Dont you have patients waiting?

 

[BallzDeep]

Glad we got this all straightened out!

 

[netbull]

The original post is very George Carlin -ish. Well done.

'YMMV' certainly exists but does get overused a bit here. Describe the standard menu if you know and after that, feel free to add the 'bonuses' you received. I'm not for censorship so we can't ban the word, just ease up a bit will do.

 

[tnickp]

straighten out? i had to read the original post about 5 times with my dictionary in hand just to figure out what the hell he was talking about!

shouldn't reviewers just post what happened and leave it at that.

 

[lonecoxxman]

Mainly my gripe with YMMV is that it can mean different things to different people and for someone to say in a review that YMMV with a given SP, really tells us nothing. Obviously mileage from one encounter to the next will vary, even when the overall quality level of the encounter does not change. It seems to me that the term YMMV appeals to those who like to do a lot of talking but don't want anything they say to be of value to others.
