Ambiance on RM Reviews

[Trick]

Is there some secret code embedded in the Ambience part of RM reviews? At times I feel it’s not just about the venue.  I see one star reviews but the Ambience is “somewhat relaxing”. What’s that all about?

You should ask the reviewer(s) for a definitive answer, but I suspect the answer is "the provider's place isn't hideous but he still delivers a bad experience."

I largely ignore that criterion. As some reviewers have pointed out, exciting or stimulating is better than relaxing. But those are not options. 

To me, meeting a hot new hunk who is going to ravish you is not relaxing but a helluva great experience.

It's one of the dumbest items in their review format.  Can you imagine seeing a dom muscle top for a bdsm session and saying it was "relaxing"?

Also, if you're hiring for an outcall, you're usually the one who's in control of the ambiance. The guy just has to show up and not mess the place up (aside from a good mess on the bedsheets).

I suspect most guys answer based on how comfortable they felt meeting with the guy overall, but that's not particularly useful.

I think it's helpful to some degree. As you say, as an indicator of how was the experience of being with the provider at his place. For me it would be the difference of:

Did his place and his behaviour make you feel relaxed so you just went with the flow and he made you see the stars in the end?

VS.

His place was dirty/disorganized, and his attitude made you feel anxious/nervous/rejected and you felt sexually dissatisfied in the end?

Ambiance is a vague  category. Needs more division.

I like the rating system that @RadioRob implemented in our reviews site.

To me, it's all about the effort the escort provides to make it a sexy, fun experience. I visited this great BDSM guy in NYC who had porn on a big TV, a sling ready to go and plenty of towels ready in case there was a bit of a mess. He basically showed that he made an effort to make the environment a fun experience for sex.

On the other hand, I've seen guys visiting in their hotel rooms with dirty clothes all round, no towels around in case we need them, fast food wrappers not even in the trash but sitting on the dresser. Basically no effort to make it a nice environment for fun. The sex can be great either way but that can tell me if there was effort into making the environment hot for some fun.

Chat with the webmaster for clarification.  Suggest that the format be changed, if possible.  I've chatted with him, and he's always addressed my intial concerns rather quickly.  I have a membership....

 

Personally, I don't like the qualifiers that are there; thus when I've written a review, I've gone into acceptable detail in the narrative section.  One is able to read the narratives at hide.me/en/proxy.  Some reviews have written in detail; others have written in generalities.  When I've been really interested in a particular escort, I've sent my concerns to some of his previous clients hoping that my questions have been answered.

Luckily for me, some have responded back and with specific details.  

But do remember: one's guy's experience might not necessarily be similarly to yours.  My go-to-man in San Francisco received his first review from me.  Subsequently and fortunately for "my man," others saw him; some wrote to me asking about his expertise and talents.  I eagerly responded to their questions.

[One porn star and escort has many favorable comments in the former daddysreviews as well as in the forum here.  When I met him, he was one, damn cold fish.  He massaged me for forty-five minutes, and never gave me the time that I'd sought based on previous reviews, his ad, his photos, his vids, and all of the compliments that he'd received at the former site.  [I was too inhibited to say anything.]

He was well-known along with his lover at the time.  In looking back, I do think that I should have engaged the services of his lover rather than he.  The whole thing broke my heart, for I was revved for a sterling time.

I chose NOT to write a review, for he had too many allies at this website/forum, but I did respond to anyone who wanted to know the man who'd let me down.

The categories you suggested are a vast improvement over "ambience." Would you be willing to suggest them to RM's webmaster? Would you be OK if I suggested them? (Don't want to appear as though I am stealing your idea)

Considerate of you to ask, but as any and all advice I offer here is worthless, take and make what you will of it!🥂

Despite your good intentions I don't think they ever implement any suggestions that is not within their scope of work. I already lost the count of times I have suggested only to get the generic reply along the lines of:  "Thanks for your suggestion, we passed them to the development team", and never seen not even 1 of my suggestions implemented.

That's interesting because they implemented the suggestion I made a few years ago regarding page behavior when moving from one page to another. After the redesign, clicking "Display More," "Next," or "[page number]" when viewing all favorites would result in the top of the new page being displayed, while doing so from the favorites filtered by a particular city would result in the bottom of the page being displayed. This required the user to scroll to the top of the page, then scroll down again if they wished to move to a different page. I described the problem using similar language to this post and they took my suggestion.
