GenerousGent Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 If a provider is a thieving trickster they will have blocked you before you can get back to your car to rate them. If they have 2 or more bad reviews, you can trust they've blocked many more, lol. It happened to me once. Guy asked me to stop and buy him like a $40 bottle of poppers on the way to him when I travelled from a state over. Then he wiggled and giggled (acting like everything was ticklish) for 20 min, then called time. I'm a very reasonable patient guy. He's lucky (to this day when I think about it) that if I didn't think he was working from a friend's house, those beautiful victorian stained glass windows would be in ruins right now, lol. You know I kept the address. Point being, bad providers block potential of any bad reviews so RM reviews are useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red flag 🚩 right here. Any provider asking you to stop and pick up something whether an x box gift card, poppers, etc. proceed with caution. Unless it’s someone like me with a verified set of reviews and website. Clients have asked me to pick up stuff for them, but I always get a deposit before buying anything: whether it’s a hotel room or “extras” soloyo215, marylander1940, Jamie21 and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ DrownedBoy Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Yes. I know at least one provider with like 100+ 5-star reviews who only keeps that record because they preemptively block negative reviews. There's no point giving out names since they pretty much all do. That, or they'll find a way to get the review removed. You can always report them to RM. However, the only time I've seen a report lead to RM suspending an escort was when he catfished people, which was easily verified by a photo check. marylander1940 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungry4darkmeat Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 I’ve had times when they wanted me to rate them right then and there so you’re on the spot but otherwise have been pretty lucky but I do look for negative reviews and assume that more than one or two is likely representative of many more.

Toomuch4u Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I find the more “good reviews” someone has, the worst the service….RM obviously doesn’t take their review system seriously and doesn’t care. As long as they get their money from providers advertising on their sites….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viewing ownly Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I just find even one bad review is cause for concern. Typically, the client is upset that the person seen didn't have sex with them, so they see a bad review as a kind of revenge. There are plenty of people who don't have a single bad review, and that's just because they treat every client with respect, regardless of what we look like or donate (referring to those who give the at least the minimum agreed to). It's also curious to see when a provider bothers to have a rebuttal to the reviewer. They range from "I never saw this person before", to completely unglued rants, which is a horrible way to respond - that has a VERY adverse effect on potential future clients if your anger shines through with someone not worth that kind of bother. Another way a review can be a factor for me for a repeat is if I get no response when everyone else does. I sent a gentle heads up a few months later that I left a glowing review from my experience, but he skipped over it and responded to all before and since. He ignored that, so I moved on.

Your Man in Arlington Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 My regular and best provider for me so far has about 50 reviews, with a couple of 2-star and one 4-star among all of the 5-star reviews. So, when looking at RM reviews; I look who the reviewers are, the number of reviews, and the specific complaints if there's a negative review. Everyone has bad days, we are humans with bodies, or someone is just a bad client. And, I kind of respect a provider who doesn't preemptively block in those cases. All of this talk of reviews and rating gaming reminds me of Freddie Wong’s 3.5 star rule: Use the ‘3.5-star rule’ to find the most ‘authentic’ Chinese food, says viral TikTok WWW.TODAY.COM You're probably going to rush to check the rating of your go-to Chinese spot after you watch this.

+ BenjaminNicholas Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 (edited) Until this site ramps up a proper review process, trusting RM's reviews is buying fool's gold. The long threads about it here can be searched and confirmed. However, the ideology that someone with perfect/high reviews has to be fake is bullshit. Some of us are just great at what we do. Always be smart/savvy enough to read between the lines.

+ BenjaminNicholas Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 A caveat to what I posted above: I've been getting a lot of messages on the RM platform from other escorts who are looking to fuck off the clock and then write each other reviews.

Maybe if they have other Premium accounts but as far as I know they can't review other escort. I asked an escort to review a buddy and he just sent me this.

Exactly! I don't think RM also would mind an escort using the same CC for to pay his ad and also to pay for other profiles that occasionally review others and himself too.

You know I kept the address. Point being, bad providers block potential of any bad reviews so RM reviews are useless. I think that some of those rather shady proividers show signs one way or another. At least that has been my experience. Yes, some providers block people befor the reviews. It's an ongoing and known issue for many of us. What I wonder is if there's anything that can realistically be done. Also, to be honest, let's put things in context. What did we have back before RM, reviews, ability to search people's information online, etc? We had to either rely on word of mouth or take higher risks with providers. That means that even with reviews that we can't fully trust, it's still better than how it used to be back in the day, for both clients and providers. It's definitely not a reliable system, but it's definitely much better today, especially since forums like this exists where people can support each other with information about providers and by clients. When it comes to reviews, what I do is that I read as many as I can (when there are many), and I start noticing a theme emerging. That's where I find some information that can make sense and feels more reliable. Another issue with reviews is that two people might have completely different experiences with the same provider, and none of them are wrong. First, there are many poor reviews ("I didn't like him"), reviews that are just downright stupid ("I didn't like the curtains of the place"), and reviews that concentrate on parts of the experience that are not important to you ("He shaved"). I look for reviews that talk about punctuality, time spent, delivery of what he offers in his page, and of course, overall performance. So yes, one cannot just blindly trust reviews.

What about contacting a reviewer by PM who has also reviewed other escorts? Do you trust reviews in the old daddy site? Were escorts able to post fake reviews of themselves or others?

I don't believe I’m being paranoid. It's important to acknowledge that relying solely on RM reviews isn't advisable. Beyond the example I mentioned earlier, there are other factors at play that can impact reviews. Personally, I tend to refrain from leaving negative reviews unless there's a significant issue, like a scam or something that went really wrong. I'm certain I'm not alone in this approach. So, the absence of negative reviews for a provider doesn't necessarily indicate their quality, does it? I do read reviews and reach out to reviewers directly. I'm wary when I see multiple reviews from the same person for a single provider; it raises a red flag for me. As far as I know hiring is entirely voluntary, so I don’t see why anyone would need an excuse not to hire. I hired regularly myself, perhaps even more than I should, but that's a discussion for another thread. I still recall the days of hiring from newspaper ads, without any photos or reviews. However, that doesn't mean I now advocate solely relying on ad content for hiring decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
