I think it's true that women are cruel to each other, but we grew up in a culture that only values us for our looks and pit us against each other. I do find it very sad that this happens, tho.
I don't think saying that attractiveness is a social construct is meant to make women feel better about themselves, it just is the case. What was attractive 15 years ago isn't the same thing now. What women find attractive in men is also a social construct. I also think that some clients genuinely love the SP's they are seeing, and even if they aren't ''super models'', they truly find them beautiful. Maybe you think someone is chubby and unattractive, but another person will find the same lady curvy and sexy, everyone has different tastes and standards.
I'm not personally responding to this thread because I'm insecure btw, I know I look like my photos and what you see is what you get, but what I'm hearing is that some of you are annoyed that us SP's advertise here and participate in the forum, and to an extent I understand why, because you feel like there is less honesty in the reviews.
Personally if I get a negative comment I will try to reflect on if I did something wrong and how I can change my behaviour, but an experience between a SP and a client is really subjective and depends on many things. It's only natural that your experience is going to be different from what you saw in the reviews, because everyone has a different personality and things happen organically. I think looking at reviews for safety is a perfectly good reason to check the forum.
As for refuting bad reviews, I do think that some people get a kick out of writing negative things about women's bodies and about SP's in particular. There's a way to word things, and I can tell when someone just wanted to make the person feel bad or just insult the person, vs actual criticism. I think people can encourage each other to be cruel to someone or a group of people in a certain setting, and the opposite can happen as well. Yep reviews, good or bad, are not objective. I'm wondering if the reviews would actually be more honest if SP's weren't able to refute the reviews, or if a lot of people would just get a kick out of being as mean as possible.
Like I said, a lot of clients wouldn't write reviews if it weren't to encourage a SP they saw and had a positive experience with, and a lot of them just don't have the reflex to write one at all. That might be why when there's a negative review about a SP who is well loved by certain clients, these clients will follow up with a good review. I don't think it means these reviews aren't objective, but obviously if a SP's regular clients write reviews for them, it might still be biased because we all have a different clientele. The clients who like me the most tend to have a certain profile and personality type. (it's varied, but I do see certain types of men more often than others).. so obviously their opinions may be different from the clientele of another SP who is completely different from me and booked me.
