Too Many Reviews?

Your comments reveal a profound immaturity and a glaring double standard. By now labeling providers with numerous reviews as robots, you not only demonstrate a lack of understanding but also expose your own biases. It’s telling that you find it acceptable to sleep with a porn star, whose experience is likely far greater, yet dismiss providers based on their review count as if they’re less deserving of respect.

Your focus on my reference to nationality is a weak attempt to deflect from the hypocrisy in your stance. To assume that someone’s worth diminishes with experience is not only misguided but also reflects your inability to engage with nuance.

Having taken the painful labor of reading through your previous thread, it’s clear that you’re more invested in preserving your narrow view than in recognizing the rich complexities of the industry. This speaks volumes about your perspective and worldview. Ultimately, your refusal to confront these complexities reveals a limited understanding of human experience, prioritizing shallow judgments over the dignity of others.

Perhaps. I’m glad we’re exploring this.

it’s a red flag for me because it shows they’ve been doing this a long time with many people and perhaps may be jaded. For me not only is the sex important but also the conversation and actual discussion. When you’ve had 100+ clients you can act like a robot.

Or it's a sign that they're there really into and really good at this line of work and know how to deliver a superior experience at all levels, including the not-just-sex aspects. I would never think that a personal trainer or barber might have "too many" good reviews, yet a important part of both of those lines of work are the soft/social aspects of the job.

And that’s a decision that the person hiring has to make. The problem is comparing those industries to this industry is apples and oranges in my mind. This industry can be very abusive by clients (and studios). Both emotionally and physically on the provider.

 

Hence why I said a lot of reviews could indicate someone being jaded. Not by any fault of their own but being stuck in an abusive environment too long.

No, that’s one of the reasons he sticks with me and nobody else because I treat him like a person and I don’t just look at his physical beauty which is what people have been doing his whole life.

Jaded?

Why such a negative perspective on people who've been around the block longer than others?

Some guys are simply not cut off for the job and quit, while others do it out of desperation. 

Abusive? 

Why the negativity again?

So if you see him 100 times, will it make him jaded ?

Clearly I don't know you, but I feel like you're engaged in a lot of projection here. Perhaps you're newer to this hobby, but I can attest - as others have - that people who choose sex work (not for a quick buck) but as a career because they enjoy it, including meeting and connecting with new people, are among the best experiences you can have.

Agreed, is not a job for everybody especially in the long term but the longer they're in the game the more profitable it becomes.

I like guys with good reviews (between 6-10). But the guys who have like 100+ reviews are red flags for me usually. I’m not sure I want to be with someone who’s seen THAT many people over that much time. Especially if they are older. 
 

How do others feel about providers who have a lot of reviews?

Personally, and every client-to-be may make their own choices as to how they judge any “red flags” an extraordinary amount of positive reviews may cause, I have been extremely lucky in almost all encounters I’ve experienced with providers who do have many, many more reviews than 6-10.

From my first timid hire on a trip to NYC nearly 15 years ago, when I spent months perusing RentBoy reviews until I felt I had found my “perfect” escort, to my most recent escort, who became a regular, never failing to surprise me (in the best ways!) each and every time I hired him, I have begun my vetting process to hire new providers by reading their reviews, the more positive reviews, the better, IMO.

My most recent regular has 112 positive RM reviews (and counting) and every single review expounds on the unique pleasures and excitement delivered by this man to themselves! Nearly every disappointing escort session I have experienced has been with escorts who had only a few to no reviews, who I hired because their ad pictures were so hot to me.

I feel extremely lucky my first hire WAS the perfect escort for me, realizing how timid and naive I was, he explained basically how the client/escort dynamic worked in the best circumstances. The  NUMBER of an escort’s reviews seems irrelevant to me, excellent reviews are excellent reviews, no matter the number.

There is no magical number of reviews to guarantee the guy will be a good fit for you.

My advice: research as best you can, weighing the positives, negatives, and unknowns. Measure your risks against your potential rewards. Then, assuming he checks enough of your boxes, hire the guy. See how much YOU personally enjoy your experience with him. Your experience may differ from someone else’s publicly posted review.

Providers with hundreds of positive reviews can be problematic, and guys with zero or few reviews can be great. You never know for sure until you make an informed decision to hire him. Worst case: you’re out some hundreds of dollars. Best case: you enjoy and re-hire with confidence.

Reviews carry weight, but you can’t rely on one source. Reputation goes beyond one particular site or reviewer. See if he has other sites with reviews posted and find the common threads between them. Chat with others who’ve hired him to confirm information in his profile, information in his reviews, and ask questions. The information most important to you won’t always be shared so freely or explicitly in reviews. Here on this site is a good place to start.

I find a lot of good reviews to be an indicator of trustworthiness. They also tend to be more expensive, but that goes with the game.

And yes, I've had guys with 100+ 5-star reviews who were bad hires (drugs and/or personality disorder, no doubt triggered by a bad day). Some of them preemptively block you so they can retain their "record.' So it's not a perfect measure, but 2 problems over a decade of hiring can be tolerated.

I do know of one provider that has a lot of reviews but it's partially because he is quite agressive with his clients and asks them to review him during the sessions.

We also have a regular poster who brags about being able to review because he's premium and gets better deals because of promising a five-star review. 

Sooner or later that kind of behavior by the escort will backfire. I will suggest he simply asks for a review as a favor afterwards

Perhaps you should read the thread, it's pretty clear from what been posted already.
