When two women are making out... why do they call it Scissoring?
I feel it should be called... Lip syncing...

Scissoring is not the act of kissing.Wrong lips.
Though lip syncing still works too.
Yeah it’s pretty unfair
We are reviewed like a product!
This subject comes up really often and I'm bored in Ottawa.. I think people should honestly only be reviewed for safety purposes. There's no review site for clients but if there was, I would only note if the person is clean or not, paid the full price, was respectful, non violent, trustworthy enough to stay silent about other providers private info etc.
I like getting good reviews because they bring business but ultimately I think review boards should be there only to prevent clients from getting scammed or being in danger. That's my opinion and it won't change...
because SPs (in part, of course there's more reasons) pay for the privilege of being reviewed in order to drive business. There's an economic incentive, and that's the ladies paying is the MERB business model. How are you going to monetize a bunch of client reviews? The guys certainly aren't going to pay for it because there's no real world benefit to them. I highly doubt either the ladies or the board are going to either.
When you talk about "making sense" it's not just a philosophical abstraction. It actually does need to make sense from some practical standpoint for someone to do it.
One note : indies pay to advertise here because a lot of clients don't trust other platforms anymore and they don't bring enough revenue at this point.. people who pay to advertise aren't paying for the review system, they're paying because it gives us visibility and creates trust. Plenty of providers don't advertise here and have multiple reviews.
Otherwise I think you're right and I don't think there should be a public board reviewing clients. It's just a bad idea and would create further animosity. However I do wish there was a vouching system, with no space for insults on the clients physical appearance and things like that
There was a website called "Have we met?" but it never really took off. I thought it was a good idea, the providers and the clients were reviewed equally on 8 objective criterias, and the choices were yes or no. Maybe someone will try again eventually.
I did explain my point of view in a previous post.
To sum it, pretty similar to what Lunaseraphim said or wished.
Or maybe like a review based on defined criteria as you mentioned to evaluate and a limited amount of text comments?
Yes and I think really often clients believe we are evaluating them on criteria like their weight or age or "attractiveness" but actually what we would evaluate is the level of kindness, safety, hygiene and respect...
Unlike guys who are like "omg ew disgusting this provider is 1.5 pounds heavier than the photos" or "this face in provider didn't want to do something that went beyond her boundaries so I am going to say she's ugly" or "I am traumatized for life because I didn't know women had menstrual cycles and I saw a bit of blood, what a shock"
Sorry for the sarcasm. I understand it's important for clients to make sure they have a good experience. What we want to make sure of is that we don't have a traumatic experience.

That's exactly what I appreciate the most from the review part of the forum.
For the other parts of reviews, I always assume that there's a possibility of enhancement (for the good or bad). Behind closed doors, it's really YMMV and it's (highly) possible that my experience is different from the described chemistry (or absence of).
I'm fairly new with all this and so far I mostly meet amazing ladies and got a few excellent lifetime memories.
I probably avoid a few "learning situation" because of the shared experiences by merbist. And without the good reviews, my memories bowl would be emptier. Thank you for those who shared them and to the administrators that are keeping a clean ship.
I had an sp tell me she had a guy complaining about her breasts as he was in his 20s! It’s unbelievable how someone can do this!
Actually for all intents and purposes you are paying for the review system. You come here to advertise for clients and to get exposure and bookings. The SPs monetize MERB but the reason clients come here is principally for the reviews. No reviews equals no client presence on MERB. You are paying for a review board because it attracts your client base. Tons of SPs have reviews here because the purpose of the board is for reviews, with other reasons being secondary, so whether girls are supporting SPs or not is immaterial as far as the presence of reviews goes. In fact, Valentina even did a poll to confirm this not that long ago. The principal reason for the guys to come here is not to secure bookings, but to get information. The benefit to SPs is that it gives a gathering place to potential clients where they can all be exposed to your advertising, and in the case of some contribuitng SPs, your personalities and tastes, in order to attract potential clients.

You're kinda stating the obvious. Clients don't use any platform to secure bookings, that's not how any of these websites are designed, or they would be illegal since they would work as a third party. Clients secure bookings through reaching out to agencies, spas and texting or emailing indies... A lot of clients told me they have seen my various ads many many times until they reached out.. I don't really think we disagree here. All I'm saying is that I'm treating this as an advertising platform like any other, and my goal is to build a client base, get new client's attention.. My goal is not to ''fund the review system'', but yes it's a review board that I pay to advertise on, I'm fully aware of it. Whether we like it or not this system exists and we are working with it the best we can. I do get your point, I'm not arguing with you. If I get more good reviews I'm more likely to get attention.
I work for myself and I need to do my own advertising, as you already understand. It takes trial and error. I'm not talking about clients here I'm talking about us escorts who advertise on this board.. There is a reason why we do it. Advertising platforms like leolist and tryst are less and less trusted by clients, for good reasons.. Too many bots, AI accounts, scams, OF models posing as escorts. I don't really understand why you're bringing up a poll that took place in the lounge, which few clients actually participate in.. (please keep in mind that I understand why this poll was created, and I have respect for the person who created it and don't want anymore animosity) Most of my colleagues who are indies will say the same as me, we do attract clients by interacting here, and I've had some pretty damn cool clients who found me that way I will say, but most clients don't look at the conversations we have on these boards, they look at the ads.
The proof of this is that I got a lot of bookings in Toronto and Ottawa from advertising on Terb, and I didn't even have any reviews there yet. Of course clients come here to look at reviews, to see if we're legit and if others had good experiences with us. My point was that for some reason, when you advertise on more than one platform, clients are more likely to trust you. Particularly if you advertise on boards, because if someone was a scammer or something like that, it wouldn't take long until someone would call them out for it.
