Review inflation

The Barbie doll wouldn’t be a blonde tall slim woman if that wasn’t the case.

BTW.
Launch. The first Barbie doll was introduced in both blonde and brunette on March 9, 1959. The first Barbie doll wore a black-and-white zebra striped swimsuit and signature topknot ponytail, and was available as either a blonde or brunette.

I do agree that when SPs have access to their own reviews, maybe some won’t feel as comfortable being honest in what they write but on the other hand…sometimes people post very personal details in their reviews and it’s good that we’re able to see it and report them.
I’ve had someone posting a very detailed review about me and mentioning personal information that actually had nothing to do with paid services. It made me feel uncomfortable and unsafe. To be very fair, not just me but men also felt like the review crossed a line. If I didn’t have access to it, those personal details of my life would still be on this review board…

I personally didn't read the topic as beauty standards although a percentage may fit into that category.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a very high % of reviews detail much older or heavier than expected. Simply because of beauty standards most providers don't portray reality. This post is stretching that concept to reviews that operate on the same level. This board is well known by most providers and is another avenue for advertising. I have been personally pressured to leave a good review multiple times at the end of a session.

I find that 80-90 % of the hobby is based on deception. From false pictures and descriptions to false promises of services rendered and their cost, etc.,etc. I didn't say 100% because there are ladies (usually at the higher end of the industry and pricier) who deliver as advertised and even beyond. These are the gems.

Cute… coming from a lurker who’s never posted a review and entered the actual arena.

The hilarity that only the “higher end” and “pricier” deliver as advertised “and even beyond.” Lollllllll. Clearly, a super expert opinion.

that's useless information unless you can correlate it with another set of information such as public pictures on instagram or facebook. If you have a public profile or your friends have public profiles where they tag you then one can correlate information. That's what I am refering to when I say people are careless. Even discussing vacation plans is careless. You never know who knows who and that's not being paranoid, anyone with some knowledge can track an unsuspecting person.

Also, I didn’t realize SPs are forced to brand themselves with unique and easily identifiable tattoos. So that’s not personal choice? And that’s why it absolves them of any accountability and elicits outrage when mongers report them? Oh my. Poor things. SMH.

My previous statement still applies. You have agency. You made a choice getting a unique tat, and getting into this business. The judgment is yours. Don’t blame your own stupidity on someone else.

The higher priced SPs I have encountered usually offer a wider range of (specialized) services and are generally considered conventionally attractive or fulfill a certain fantasy in terms of looks. I’ve seen no correlation between the price and the quality of service offered.

I agree, and it may be more true now that there are so many Indies. I'm curious, though, whether you're comparing the higher-priced Indies to other higher-priced Indies ... or to agencies/lower-priced indies. In other words, are you saying that there's no correlation between price and quality within the upscale indy world? Or are you saying that spending more on an indy gives looks and specializations but not more quality than agencies?

I think it applies to both. I’ve never paid more than $500 an hour for the base service and no matter how good the GFE or PSE is, there will always be a point of diminishing returns.
So for me to go beyond that rate has to be something special. Either a specific fantasy I want to fulfill in terms of service/kink or an insanely beautiful woman that I’ve always dreamed of. Ideally a combination of both.

That said, I also don’t see a correlation of quality for base services no matter if I book a $100 (outside Canada) or $500 session. This applies equally to indies and agencies. I do however refrain from booking indies from unreliable sites here in MTL.

?? That still doesn't mean clients should divulge personal identifying details. You can say "she has a tattoo" without describing the tattoo.

Many clients made the choice of getting married to women who de toute évidence don't want to fuck them, it was a choice and it's the reason they became clients, but you won't catch anyone describing their wedding ring in details. If we did, we would be rightfully blamed, even if you're the one who chose that marriage. It's a bad comparison because obviously we aren't reviewing clients, but the point is that some things should remain private. We don't have to post things that can reveal someone's identity on merb.

I agree with you 100% but that comparison made no sense whatsoever.

 

[Workingman]

No comparison needed. Respecting each others privacy and personal life is paramount.

That's quite consistent with my experience as well. The only thing I'd add is that I've found Indies to be more consistently good--but not more consistently outstanding. Of my top 10 experiences, I'd say that it's about half agencies and half Indies. My bottom 10 are all agencies.

I know! I woke up 10mins ago give me a chance HAHA. The comparison was stupid but it drives the point home, nobody wants their identity to be outed on merb!

I agree that people should use common sense and not do things that can easily reveal the identity of each other and that goes for both client and SP.
I think SP are better at protecting client information because it can ruin their reputation if word gets out that they are careless and they deal with it on a daily basis.

There are many SP that have complete detailed photographs of their entire body and their face and then wonder why they get recognized by people and restricted from entering some countries.

It is a risky game on both sides when it comes to protecting your identity, but the main player is always yourself for allowing personal information to be seen either on media or in person.
The buck always stops with the individual unfortunately because there will always be careless people and some who are just plain scumbags and will out you intentionally.
Some will give out information simply because they are clueless and not out of malice.

What are you gonna do about it? Control every single freak who divulge information about your tattoos? You know there are people you have no control over so it is up to you to take proper steps if you want to do that kind of work and be as safe as possible. I would go as far as removing a tattoo if it is imperative for me not to be recognized with ink.
