    I think most of us can realise that the review system is based on subjective opinions only.

    We, the clients, are commenting on how we perceived the appointment to be. We can con ourselves into thinking we will be 'objective' -but really this is not possible.

    It's one individual giving their opinion on how their interaction went with another individual - purely from their own point of view. I'm sure if you asked the lady, she could write up something completely different.

    I've only reviewed about a quarter of my visits - and too be honest - I'm not really sure why I do, except maybe to help someone with a positive review that's recently started out or to leave a negative review if it's IMHO necessary.

    It's a biased system that should be taken with a pinch of salt. As long as people see it that way they may not take it too seriously. Take away from reviews what you want - and use your judgement...

    Reviews are already too personal. Passing judgement on someones looks?

    Some girls are given reviwes where fairlly att or neither att or unatt are ticked but as a saver there should be the option to click a box stating that the Lady in question has a good personality because i agree with you heather that it is certainly not all about looks.

    I think also that people compare one escort with another rather than judging them as individuals. If a punter has a particular favourite escort, is the danger here that nobody will compare to him/her no matter how good they are?

    I see what Steve means. The first and third option in reviews, Accuracy of Photos: and Physical Attractiveness: are completely aesthetic.
    I also can't understand why someone would select an escort based on 5 photos in their profile & services offered and then tick "very unattractive" when he receives a poor service, even though the pictures are an accurate reflection.
    I'd guess it's because either:
    1. He wants to make sure the RED box appears next to the review and doesn't realise that these two options don't affect whether the review is green, grey or red.
    2. Sometimes reviewers read as being very pissed off while writing, so maybe he's just angrily stating that she's unattractive, which is bollocks really.

    I don't buy this beauty being subjective argument - The client has selected a profile largely based on the photos, so it makes no sense that he'll later tick "Unattractive" when the photos are genuine.
    Also don't buy the attractiveness depending on personality & looks combined point - it says "Physical Attractiveness" ,not beauty or attractiveness or charm etc

    Just on the point of pictures, sometimes photographers can make a silk purse out of a sows ear..

    The first thing that grabs my attention are the pictures, some I'm attracted to more than others (that doesn't make them unattractive,its just a matter of taste). If the escort looks like the pictures (which Rebeka does) how can you then turn round and say the escort is physically unattractive.
    I think some people just tick the worst box they can find, thats why I always scutinise bad reviews, its very often the client who has the problem not the escort.
    Come in she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm "

    Yeah I have to be honest I'm not too comfortable ticking those boxes, in the reviews I've submitted I feel I have said all I need to say in the text of the review itself and hopefully have got the essential reasons why it was a good appointment (or not as the case may be)

    I would rather (and I know this ain't gonna happen) that the mods exercised a bit of veto in not allowing boring-no-telling-detail-submitted-as-an-afterthought type reviews. Frankly I would like to see people undertaking to submit reviews lifting their game a bit and putting some goddam effort into a review. "Had gr8t time def not a clock watcher" sorry lads that is excrement and is not worthy of the sons of the land of saints and scholars...

    rant over
    Bada Bing!!!
