Is it Rude to ask for a review?

[instudiocity]

One escort asked me for a good review when we were in the middle of fucking.

 

HA! Was that stroke in or stroke out? I'm such a smart ass I'd have said something like,

"Depends on how many times I cum!"

or

"Seriously? your dick's bigger than your head."

I would feel okay if the escort asked nicely, whether done in person or email.

 

If I were an escort, I would keep in mind what my college writing teacher told us on the first day: If asked to choose between writing something and doing something else, people always seem to choose the "something else."

Don't Ask Every Client...

 

Asking for a review is like asking for a tip. Unprofessional.

 

I tend to agree with ChgoBoy... Unless you know the client very well and you are hired by him on a regular basis, asking for a review could put your client in an awkward position. Don't you think if the escort does his job extraordinarily well, he will not have to ask for reviews? Sure, not every client will write a review regardless how great you are, but occasionally some will submit reviews if you continue providing superior service.

Depends!

 

IF the Guy made me Cum Big Time..Hell No it isn't rude!

 

IF I haven't then it is Damn Rude!

Marketing Rule#1 - If you can't call yourself the best at what you do, no one else will either.

With that said, subtle hints may be appropriate - like the escort linking Daddy's Reviews in his follow-up thank you email.

 

And in response to unsolicited praise, i.e. Client says, "Hey, Mr. Escort, I really enjoyed our time together." Escort responds, "Thank you! Mr. Client. I enjoyed our time, too. If you'd like, you could tell others about me by submitting a review." If a client finds that offensive it's because he's forgotten he's employed a service professional.

 

No Harm, No Foul - but at some point getting the word out is important.

 

As to Hottie's dilemma, I'd think he could gracefully ask for a review on occasion.

A few years ago, one of my favorite guys had just given me the pounding of a lifetime. As we were tidying up, I mentioned what a nice time I had. He laughed and said his last few reviews were for bottoming, and he hoped he didn't get typecast. I limped home and wrote a review, setting the record straight, so to speak.

 

He already had lots of reviews, and he didn't ask for one, but I saw a chance to do him a good turn as he had for me. It was also fun to write.

 

If I had nothing new to say, chances are I wouldn't be thinking about writing a review. If the escort asked for one, it would be a little uncomfortable. Unless I told him my going rate for creative writing is $250 an hour and how long did he want it?

 

I think it's safe for an escort to let a client know that he's aware of reviews, without necessarily asking for one. If the client wants to offer one, fine. If he doesn't, no harm done.

Don't know if it is rude to ask for a review, but if an escort asks me for a review the chance of him getting one are very slim.

I say go for it!

 

I personally don't find anything wrong with asking your clients for a review and in most cases, I think that you will find they will be accommodating in the fulfillment of your request. Then, let the client make the choice and leave the issue there - closed. I was once told by a client that he appreciates professionals who have asked him for a review because they care enough to ask to honest question but I have also heard other clients state the exact opposite and strong feelings against such a request. IMHO, a professional asking for a review is honestly no different than a business establishment such as a restaurant or CVS and Walgreen's that request a survey from you concerning your most recent visit to the front part of their store. I like to know that my opinion does matter and in fact is being requested though that certainly doesn't obligate me either though I usually will complete surveys in due time.

 

In a number of instances when I have asked past clients for reviews, I have also introduced them to this very forum and some of these very clients have become quite active contributors to the site as well. By asking for a review, you're certainly increasing others awareness of not only what review sites exist and the importance of them but also taking them to sites that take the review process one step forward and actually create forums for people to come together and find comfort in like conversation.

 

Having said that, one must consider that when asking for a review from a client, it certainly does open the door for increased risk of a bad review coming to fruition. Though, I'm also a believer that at some point, most professionals will endure a bad review - a badge if you will. While we all like the praise we must also take the criticism. While the idea is not appealing to me, I also understand that I'm not perfect and in fact very much human which are flawed beings and will certainly wear the badge of a bad review.

 

This is one of those examples where it will be difficult to find balance between both sides. In situations like that, go with your gut feeling and be confident in your choice.

 

Hope this helps. Make the right call for you.

Is it rude?....no.

 

Will I do it?....no

 

Feels too much like a "homework" assignment.

...One approach that I have had an escort do in the past that I appreciated (and did result in a review being posted) was after our meeting he followed up with a "thank you" email for the time spent together and at the end suggested that if I had as good a time as he believed I did that he would definitely appreciate me considering doing a review. To make things a bit easier he put a link to the couple review sites he was already listed on.

 

This sounds like the ideal approach to me. The client is not put in the awkward position of responding "yes" or "no." I can't imagine anyone's taking offense if it's done in this way.

 

I used to review everyone I saw -- it was my way of saying "thanks" for all the help I had received from the reviews of others. But writing a useful review takes me a lot of time, so I don't do it nearly so often nowadays.

I have not written many reviews and have only been asked once. I will say that those outstanding gentlemen who provided exceptional service and demonstrated professionalism and great coutesy before, during, and after our appointment all received reviews. I have done them as an inadequate measure of my thanks and think others should know about something truly great. Even when I want to be selfish and keep em all to myself!

[whipped guy]

…Even when I want to be selfish and keep em all to myself!

That is a sentiment that always crosses my mind when writing a review for someone that is exceptional... but then again the really good ones out there belong to the world, and as such it is only fair to share their talents with the rest of humankind… But damn you’re right Racketjock! At times I really would love to “keep ‘em all to my self!”

One of my earliest reviews was of a relatively new escort to the scene at that time. Well he has gone on to be one of the more well known and successful escorts. I remember hiring him several times in the early days and would have no problem booking him with only a relatively short notice. Now it requires at least a month if not more to set up a meeting. I am happy for his success as he is truly a great guy and I know that even if I had not reviewed him he would have been successful but I can't help feel a little regret that I couldn't keep him to myself and a more limited clientele.

I've been asked twice to write reviews: for one an escort and the other a masseur. Interestingly, they both had tens of positive reviews. I didn't find it rude, but did find it curious that with so many good reviews they both wanted yet another.

Thanks for all the input everyone It sounds best I feel out the client first and take t on a client by client basis

[Pegasus]

My two cents...

Hottiewithabody: that sounds like a great plan. If I were you, I wouldn't ask a first-time client to write a review... Wait and ask a client who has hired you two or three times and has a wealth of experience with you from which he can draw upon when drafting the review. If I have forked over $200-plus for a one-hour fling, I'm not usually inspired to spend an hour (or more) of my precious time writing and submitting a review on the guy regardless how great he may be. However, if I've regularly hired the escort, have had multiple positive experiences with him and have developed an awesome rapport with this guy, then you better believe I would be happy to invest the time required to submit a glowing review. Good luck, Hottie!
