Recently had a "meh" encounter with an established CoM-recommended gent. In the subsequent 24hrs, routine pleasantries were exchanged via text. A week after the meetup, I receive another text politely but directly requesting that I leave a five star review, referencing our post-meetup pleasantries as evidence of my having a great time and noting that "things have been slow lately"... This particular gent has 100+ RM reviews -- with most recent from April 2026 -- and he currently has a 5.0 rating.
I'm perplexed about how to proceed.
I could just ignore the request -- which is typically not how I roll, so it feels weird and uncomfortable to do so.
I could leave the 5star review -- which wouldn't be honest but under no circumstances would I mess with any gent's overall rating just because I could.
I could reply to him explaining that I no longer leave reviews on RM, due past (not great) experiences doing so -- which is basically true but possibly irrelevant
I could do something else that I'm not thinking of...
I do not anticipate booking with this particular gent again.
And I don't know that I'm looking for guidance. Just needed to shake this annoyance off.
PS: as an aside, I find that I'm mostly okay with tipping culture run amok but it's the unrelenting loop of "please leave a rating to let us know how well we served you today" feedback requests that is clearly working my nerves...
