"Unpaid Ad -- Not a Review"

[Uncle Bill]

Hey, HooBoy. Does this new description that you add to reviews indicate that you KNOW that the escort sent in his own review? If so, why do you post the ad/review at all? Just seems strange. In any case, it would be helpful to know the criteria you use for this designation so that we can work that into our thought process when hiring. Thanks for the great site and all your work.

Hello Hooboy

 

I'd like to know as well what this "unpaid ad-review" is all about.

Perhaps I missed out on your explanation, would you be as kind as enlighten us in this matter?

 

BTW, I loved your advice regarding "don't sit on those flower-pots"

and the pic with all those erect penislike cactus!;-)

 

Keep up your excellent work here, I appreciate all your efforts.

In reading the reviews in question, it seems like they are very short on particulars, more like Hi, here's this great guy. I had a great time. They are pretty useless as reviews, but Hoo's taken some heat from "I sent you a review and you never published it" too. I'm guessing this is a compromise between those positions or a lesson in how not to write a review.

[HooBoy]

At the top of the website, there is a blue M4M FAQ link that clearly says, "We are a text-based site. What you write is important. If you write something that sounds like a blatant advertisement or if you do not make an effort to submit something interesting, it may be deleted without comment. We spend a lot of time working on this website and we expect our contributors to make an effort to submit INTERESTING and INFORMATIVE reviews...Thanks!!!"

 

When someone submits two sentences consisting of "he was accommodating. I am not going to go into what we did, but I recommend him highly," I consider that a non-paid advertisement, not a review of the actual date, totally uninteresting and not worthy of the bandwidth or your time.

 

In the past, I would write to the reviewer asking him for more information and in 99% of the cases, I was skewered. "How dare I question his credibility? So, lately I figure I'll just post their bullet points and let the reader make up their mind. You'll notice most of those elementary apple polishers are first-time reviewers. In today's reviews there is a guy who took umbrage that I wanted more information and he responded with sarcasm. I am sure the escort is mortified, embarrassed or amused.

 

I am NOT suggesting they are written by the escort, just someone who doesn't really give a damn about making this an interesting place to visit. And I am sick of reading about how he was accommodating and how he always pleases his clients and how I highly recommended him and you really won't be disappointed.

 

Perhaps Dr. Phil writes all those platitudes. You do not have to write like a porn novelist, but if you spend a few hours or weeks with someone, surely something wonderful or horrific happened that we might like to learn about. If it is too much effort, go to another site and bore them silly. Or better yet, just hire the guy and bore him silly.

 

I hope this explains it. I'm just experimenting with it right now and I am taking heat for it.

 

Bottom line: I am NOT suggesting the 3rd grade writing is done by the reviewer.

 

Now lets all be accomodating and get a few laughs every now and then, okay?

Well, I would like to get a few laughs today, so count me in.:-)

I HATE reviewers who are so prissy that they won't give any discription of what they "did" during their encounter, choosing instead to give us some platitude such as "I consider what happened between us as a very personal and private moment and won't go into details", or words to that effect.

 

Give me a break! It's a review of your time with a hooker, for God's sake, not your friggin honeymoon! If you can't at least tell us what the escort was willing to do, then DON'T WRITE THE REVIEW. Spend your time writing a recipe review for "Martha Stewart Living" as that seems to be more in keeping with your sanitized view of life.

 

What are you doing on this site anyway?

Hey, fuk, I agree. Please direct me to your reviews because I love to read the details!:9

[guyinsf]

I don't like reviews with no details, but I am actually less interested in the sexual details than I am in how the reviewer writes about the quality of the personal interaction. In other words, reviews like, "He really likes to rim. He rimmed me for 20 minutes and I was close to cumming. Then he rammed his huge dick in me and pounded my ass like no one else ever has..." is less interesting to me than: "He had the ability to make me feel very comfortable. As his reviews indicate, he's a top -- and I will say he's one of the best I've hired. He was very passionate and it seemed like he was enjoying himself, too. We talked and cuddled for quite a while after we both came. He's an interesting and intelligent man." Maybe that makes me a Dr. Phil clone, but actually it just means that I am looking for a certain kind of encounter with an escort. I like escorts who have the ability to actually enjoy meeting their clients (or at least who can come across that way, though I think this is something that's hard to fake). I've gotten laid a number of times by some really hot looking guys whose dicks felt really good in my ass, but their attitudes (particularly being aloof) left me disinterested in hiring them again.

 

This doesn't mean I think others shouldn't focus on the sexual details. I don't presume that every other client is like me. In fact I know that there are many who absolutely do not look to escorts to have the kind of experience I desire; they are looking for something else. I am suggesting that there is legitimacy to different types of reviews and, in fact, an escort's pattern of reviews may very well help clients choose between otherwise similar looking guys (one guy's reviews focus on the intesity of the sex, the other guy's focus on clients' feelings about being with him). In the end the only reviews that I think are worthless (other than obviously bogus ones) are ones that really give no information at all beyond a repitition of the same stats already published. I think those reviews are few and far between.

I looked at the November 1 review of Bruno Gaucho and it looks like a paid ad to me. Could someone tell us just what this guy does for two hours?

RE:

>

I suppose you mean UNpaid ad, as in the theme of the thread. If it were a paid ad it would not be in the Reviews (and HooBoy would be delighted). :-)

 

>He is here to pump...you up!

 

Hmmmm. It does look like it could be that. But wait! Bruno supposedly doesn't know English all that well. This sounds like it was written by someone who does. So it probably wasn't written by h i m.

 

Oh, silly me! Of course it wasn't written by him! But it could have been written by his friend/facilitator. But wait! If the guy got some from Bruno then he's e n t i t l e d to write a review of it, isn't he?

 

But wait! Favorable reviews certainly aren't written by the escort's enemies, are they? And there's something about having a guy's dick in your mouth, or burying yours in his mouth, or shoving your cock up his ass, or taking his 8 thick inches up yours that just b r e e d s a feeling of intimacy. And, as has been said here before, many a guy has come away from an encounter after establishing a bond of intimacy being (or t h i n k i n g that he was) a "friend" of the escort, even after knowing him for just one short - oops! for Bruno make that - t w o short hours. So maybe it wasn't written by Bruno's Svengali either, but just by some poor deluded client who only i m a g i n e d that he had a good time.

 

Gee, this stuff is a lot simpler and more obvious than I thought. ;-)

I thought the name on this comment was "Lucky". Wait! it is!! Are you really Speedy Gonzalez in drag? Is it so hard to imagine that some people might like to take longer than just getting their rocks off while boiling a 3-minute egg? ;-)

 

And, hard as it may be to believe - are you sitting down for this one? - some people actually hire guys for OVERNIGHTS!! Or did you think that they were just giving the poor homeless escorts a place to sleep for the night after the clients laid their 3-minute egg? :*

So do I. Can't direct you to my reviews as I have never written one. Guess I'm just too scared of being tarred with all the bad vibes our readers give to "first time reviewers"

You think? Don't be so sensitive, it's only a word. If the term "escort" makes you feel better about yourself - go for it!

At some point in the past I posted a thread on what constitutes a good review -and there wasn't much discussion, as I recall. Some might argue that the pupose of the reviews is to provide entertainment - and I won't deny they serve that purpose - but in my opinion the purpose of a review is to enable others to determine if *they* would likely have a worhtwhile experience with the escort.

 

Since we have different preferences and priorities, there has to be enough specific detail about the physical activities and personal interactions for us to make a guess about compatibilites. Not all of us are are truly versatile, and we want different levels of intimacy.

 

In addition to looking for evidence that an escort likes or is comfortable with the particular physical activities I prefer and has a friendly personality, I also pay attention to what the reviewer has to say about himself. I give more weight to reviews from clients who are like me - middle-aged and overweight, to be blunt. After all - if the reviewer is a twenty-something gymbunny, how do I know the escort will provide me with the same hot interaction?

 

Better to err on the side of too much detail than a review that provides no useful information to anyone besides the poster of the review.

[Uncle Bill]

Given your numerous posts on the message board, you would hardly be viewed as a typical first-time poster if you sent in a review. Also, by the time you write your second review, that "stigma" will be gone. I'm sure that we'd all appreciate an additional contribution to this site by you in the form of a few reviews. Come on -- I'm sure you have lots to share.

A review I wrote for Aaron-Miami is posted as “unpaid ad not a review”. This categorization, to me, infers the escort or his manager wrote the review and that is not the case. What the situation here is the author (me) is not a inspiring writer and I did not understand that entertainment, interesting writing and specifics should be part of the review. This review was my second ever written and I now realize the importance of more creative writing. To penalize an escort because the author of a review has the writing capabilities of a rock is not fair as it does bring into question the integrity of the escort. I was taught when writing to ask the question at the end of every sentence “so what” and if that answer does not bring concise information to the composition then eliminate it. I guess that educational tool is not what creative writing or reviews should be and I am sorry about that.

 

If anyone is interested what I meant by very accommodating: Aaron changed a family commitment so he could be with me on my preferred schedule. Because of my poor directions he went to the wrong motel and had to make two phone calls and battle rush hour traffic to arrive only a half hour late. He was nice enough to not arrive with an attitude about my mistake. Smart: Aaron is not an uneducated skater boi that is so commonly found in a 20 year old and he is not a druggie. Sensual: Aaron does not have the attitude of I am gorgeous, I am here and you are lucky. He really gets excited to please you and enjoys what he does. Focused on pleasing his partner: He goes for those “hot turn on buttons” that everyone has. He didn’t mind my 3:15 am morning missile and got right into the action of taking care of it (us). Positive attitude: Aaron obviously enjoys older guys and exhibits that attitude. Presentable: He is gorgeous and was prepared to be dressed appropriately for our time together. Fun to be with: He has a great sense of humor, loves the action and is sincere. My expectations were met beyond my hopes: Simply put we had a hot time together. When I read reviews that are graphic in the description of what happened I just skim that part as my interest is to find out if the escort is going to be on time, interested in pleasing the client, has no attitude, clean and presentable to name a few of my requirements.

 

Hope this clears up any question or problems that my poor writing skills caused Aaron who should be considered a top of the line escort.
