YMMV -an observation

Hi,

Imagine a provider who is erratic. In other words a woman who is good to some guys and great to others and won't even answer the phone or let some guys through the door. There are some like that. In that case YMMV might be appropriate.

EU

Certainly, given the broad meaning of the term, it would be applicable here. But I don't think its appropriate to use it as part of a description since the reader can only surmise which meaning of the term is being used. It would be far better to simply state that the services of this provider have a reputation for being erratic. This pins the situation down much better than simply saying YMMV.
 
Big fancy $5 words but built on faulty premises. To assume that details are written to brag or are untrue in the first place is difficult to verify. How can you verify the poster's reason for writing or whether what happened was the truth?

While YMMV gets thrown around it is a true statement. These ladies are doing a job and to the best of my knowledge very few people are able to be completely consisntant at their job. They have good days and bad and respond better to some people rather than others..... and that's not to say I'm studly and you are not..... she might click with somebody for some innocous reason such as you remind her of somebody (and of course the opposite could occur as well).

My suggestion is that readers should take the reviews with a grain of salt and if you find yourself getting offended and reading between the lines take a break from terb. I don't mean that as an insult. I mean that as somebody who has probably spent too much time on terb at certain points.

BTW just joking about the $5 words I appreciate the use of vocabulary that extends beyond the mundane.
 
I've used YMMV in several of my reviews. Not all, but some. Why? Because some of the SP's have made it clear that some of the services they are providing me are not available to every customer. I post that info in the review, so that other Terbites are aware, before booking with the lady, that their experience may not be exactly the same as mine. There is still utility in posting the review, however, so the reader can have detail on other aspects of the SP's service that may interest them/turn them off, as the case may be.

Why do I get the added service? From what I am told, I get greater mileage from some SP's in some circumstances because I am relatively young, attractive, fit (ie. flat stomach), have nice hair, am clean and polite. I'm very kissable!

Is that bragging? No. I do not know anyone on TERB and I could not give a flying rat's ass what any of you think of me, good or bad. I am relaying information given to me by a few of the SP's I've been with. Why post it? Because the particular lady I am reviewing let me know that I get to do some extra things with her (usually DFK, DATY, cuddling) because of how I look and act. Saying that in a review let's other potential customers know that those services may not be available to them from that particular lady if the guy is old, fat, bald, smelly, rude, whatever. It allows each customer to make an informed decision. And the SP is within her rights to deny any service to any customer.

Usually the SP does not come right out and say "you're getting extras from me", but there are enough hints. And yes, sometimes those hints are her saying "you're cute" or " I like your abs", as she shoves her tongue down my throat. Does she say that to all the guys? I doubt it, because most guys aren't stupid enough to believe they're "cute", if they aren't. Do SP's in general compliment guys to enhance the session? Probably (I'm not stupid either), but in the few cases where YMMV is apparent, its worth reporting. If I've read in other reviews that this SP does not kiss, yet she kisses me (after telling me she thinks I'm good looking), then the inference is that she is YMMV, and I share that info. Not to make me look better (again, I don't care what strangers on the internet think of me), but to provide as complete a review as possible. I've had a girl tell me she normally does not allow DATY, but since "you seem like a nice guy", she let me DATY. So, don't you want to know that when it comes to DATY with this particular SP, YMMV? If you are a customer for whom DATY is a mandatory part of a session, then yes you want to know that.

Do I think I am better than a brother Terbite who is old, fat, bald, etc? Nope. Not one iota. And there are LOTS of guys better looking than me, funnier than me, more charming than me, etc. No question.

I want to know as much about a girl before I book her, and when I review, I will provide as much info as I can. Its nothing more than a thorough review. And since some day I will be old and probably bald, I hope other guys provide the same level of detail as well.

And of course, there have probably been all kinds of times when I have been on the bad side of the YMMV thing.

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.

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.

YMMV is as real as human psyche. It could be both masculine and feminine.
It may be genuine in many cases, but is also true that it is used by street hardened SPs as a shield against their own indifference.

TERB is a place where people gather to exchange info from, clients, SPs, MPAs etc.

It is the same thing when you read Playboy adviser, Penthouse, or Lovebites.

This healthy exchange helps each and all. You should come to TERB with the same spirit of Joie de Vivre.

Disarming? We have to get a weapon away from you?
I'll be clean and polite, but I'm sure not going to see an escort who expects some kind of song and dance number or comedy routine from me. If I was capable of that type of phony act, I wouldn't have to be a hobbyist.

A less than stellar review can be misleading in that it may be the exception rather than the norm.
YMMV feedback could simply be a polite way of pointing out the possiblility that one is ugly, smelly, and extremely repulsive.:eek:
The ladies are not robots.
 
Well ; this thread will be remembered by me simply for it coining the phrase Terb studly :D

Many of the points made by Solitaria are completely valid, however , while most people use it as a throw-away term is is forever ingrained as part of the vocabulary of this weird little culture here so why worry about it ?
 
Come to think of it I've had YMMV within the same appointment. Remember Tarah the MPA. Bi-polar may be a better description than YMMV though.

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 ;)

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.

Good answer.

Jack-rabbit starter may or may not get MSOG.

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.

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.
YMMV depends on who you are. I'm sure the "Donald" gets more bang for his buck, or "The BIG E", or any other celebrity for that matter. Just like going to the SC, and you getting a better dance with more mileage because of your looks, hygene, etc compared to a 350 lb guy who hasn't showered in a week.

Thank you Doctor Freud. :rolleyes:

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?

You post all kinds of intensely personal reviews and then find it disturbing when someone can do a 10 minute "MuffinMuncher and YMMV" search and scan to better understand your perspective? Surely you jest.

What I found most amusing was one of the first threads that came up under those search criteria. You seem to be prone to overreactions. Here is the part I found amusing:

https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=139724&highlight=YMMV

The short version is that although I was the ideal respectful client, clean and groomed as if it were a regular date, she tried to start and finish the session in less than 30 minutes, and when I objected she literally laughed aloud at me. I was nothing more than the classic "trick". I understand YMMV, but this was demeaning and rude to the point of embarrassment.

You were embarrassed and demeaned because she made you feel like a trick and those were your overriding emotions at being gypped? That`s what you are to every prostitute though. Did you think being on the right side of YMMV meant she thought of you as something more? You do realize you shouldn`t believe any compliment these girls tell you as it is all an act, right?

Quite the enlightened outlook you have, you must be a real treat at happy hour with such a jaded and cynical outlook on life.

Your fixation on me has past disturbing.... you seriously need help.
