Reviews on RM

[amused1]

I once had a provider grill me during an initial conversation because I gave another provider a 4 star review. He was worried that I might spoil his 5 star record. I figured out pretty quickly that we would not be a good fit.

RM’s review format is lame. 4 questions including ambience (who cares?). I want to see actual reviews - guys describing their experience with the escort. I’ve written a few reviews on RM, which I guess goes to someone to approve but they’ve never been posted. Not sure why because my reviews are pretty tame. 

Yes, I always thought that “ambience” rating was absurd.

I like the review system on RentMasseur better.  The questions and review copy are more useful.

I have written over 100 reviews going back years mostly under old  screen name SilverDollar. The text part Is generally useful if thoughtfully done the rating system is lame.

Then there are the escorts who insist on communications by text only.  They don't or won't respond to the new chat feature.  If you can't prove any RentMen communication the review will not be approved.

I have had several reviews approved without RM communication, so there must be more to this.

It would only be blocked if the provider raised an objection to it.

Few providers raise objections to 5 star reviews.

I was talking about reviews here not on RM. Those are much more problematic.

I've written reviews (narratives included) at RM.  For two of my escorts, the reviews of our time were their firsts, and both appreciated my unannounced efforts.  Since I did my reviews of my favorite and only go-to-guy who's based in San Francisco, he's thanked me every time that we've been together.  I find this to be unnecessary, but apparently, my encouraging others to experience his expertise has helped him tremendously.  He currently has more than 44 reviews--all positive.

Two or three guys at this site have written to me inquiring about "my guy."  I've honored their requests.  As a Premiere Member at RM, I've contacted some of the clients of some escorts of interests asking about the men in whom I'm interested.  Most have obliged my questions and have responded.  Their assessments have helped.

But in regard to the op's question--I have rarely engaged the services of unreviewed guys.  I would prefer not to encounter a lot of unknowns that turn out bad.  But always keep in mind, one guy's experience is NOT the same or absolute replica as that of the reviewer/s.  CHEMISTRY is the key.

I stay away as well for the most part from guys with no reviews and especially if it's a brand new ad. Been too many times I see someone like that pop up and then a month or two later he has some negative reviews or feedback so I feel fortunate to have dodged a lot of bullets. I have only hired one guy who had a brand new ad with zero reviews. We had a longer than usual sending of messages and a facetime as well so I at least knew he was real and it actually ended up being a decent session. Not perfect though as he listed kissing on his ad and then in person said he didn't do kissing. I should have asked in my initial messages but again he had it listed on his ad so I took it for granted. That wouldn't have happened if he had reviews as I have reached out as well on RM to guys who have reviewed providers to confirm details like that.

Totally agree with you.

I have met guys with new ads and no reviews who are asking for $400.... or "how much can you pay" which is nuts-o!!!

Ambience includes so many variables. The safety of the neighborhood, the overall cleanliness, the privacy (roommate/boyfriend/girlfriend?…Mom?) The room’s set-up for activity scheduled. All those good, but in very noisy building with thin walls. A lot to cram into a single response isn’t it?

Yes, you are right.

When I host (which I prefer to do) I think about that the guy is probably nervous and anything I can do to create a place that shows security and comfort is good for him. I liked the "ambience" idea but I would change the word to something that actually means something when you hear it!

I have left 1 star reviews on this same manner.

I no longer leave less than 5 star reviews as 2 of 3 bad reviews threatened me afterward.  It’s just not worth it.  So, I also know to take the reviews with a grain of salt.

I guess I don't know then - only that the rules don't seem to be equally applied in all places to all people.

I had a 5 star review rejected when I was new to the platform.  I have left 20 or so reviews now, so maybe they also look at history?  I really don’t know, but I was glad I could leave reviews.  For a while, I avoided anyone who wouldn’t talk on the platform because I, like you, thought they were afraid of reviews.

I appreciate people who leave useful feedback on Rentmen reviews. As a genera policy I won’t leave a review unless it’s 5 Star but I do try to give a useful nugget for others/ like “great conversations “ or “very sexy” or  “great top- stayed hard for 3 hrs” etc
