Should an Escort ask...?

[+ Tygerscent]

In an ongoing dialog with one of my Clients regarding whether or not an Escort should ask for a review, I promised to bring this up on the board next time I was on, (now), to see what people had to say about it.

So, in your experience as an Escort or Client... How do you guys deal with Reviews?

Tyger, in regard to a client's writing a review at the request of an escort, I've only done it if my experience has been extraordinary and would be beneficial to others. But my experience, in part, has been the other way; I've asked a few escorts if I might write a review about our experience. The remaining ones have been written without a request from either party.

I have never had an escort ask for a review but I would have no problem if they did (however I would not feel obligated to do one but would likely do it if the encounter justified it). I typically do as Axion2001 and have asked several escorts about doing a review but have also just did it without asking.

Hey Old Buddy...Great to see your back! Asking for Reviews? I guess really that's a very Individual Decision?

 

I've had some Working Guys say that well ..I have Current GOOD Reviews so "Thanks But no Thanks" when I'm asked by a Client due to I don't want 100 of them..it looks to much like I'm begging for them!

 

One guy said as a "Bottom" I don't want to appear to have a Hole as wide as the Lincoln Tunnel either with MANY Reviews. Tops MAYBE a different Story? He had a point! LOL

I think it's ok to ask a client to consider writing a review when you follow-up with them the next day via email or text to say thanks. However, I would approach it as a if-you-feel-so-inclined sort of thing and just mention your chosen review site. After that it's up to them. By no means ever bring it up again. Some clients just aren't writers.

I agree with this approach. I think you can suggest or request it in a no-pressure, no expectations way, realizing that some (many?) clients will either not be willing to take the time or be unwilling to 'expose' themselves in a review.

"Hmm, I haven't had a review in quite a while," said one escort diffidently. I got the hint, I appreciated it that he hinted rather than asking, we had a really good time, and I probably will write the review. But if he had asked straight out? No way.

I would not write a review if an escort requested it.

 

There are several reasons why, but overall it is a privacy / security issue. I think that it was Charlie who mentioned in another thread that he does not ever discuss his Daddy's identity with escorts he sees, and I think that is a good thing (considering some of the drama around here as of late). If a review is requested, then most likely the escort will know who that person is if they participate in an online forum such as this. This is all well and good if everything is peaches and a client writes a glowing review that makes an escort sound like heaven, but what happens if the review is not up to snuff? As we know, many escorts take liberties in their advertisements with things such as age. What happens if your escort advertises that they are 40 and they turn out to be closer to 60 when they show up and the reviewer decides to share this? Point is, escorts who request reviews may get more than they bargained for. They may also give a client false expectations about the "relationship" going forward as well

 

Further more, I personally find that level of need a bit tacky. I write reviews and give compliments when it is earned and I feel like doing so when someone has preformed above and beyond. I think it would be totally fine for the escort to mention that he has reviews, and give web site information, but he should not ask. He should earn his reputation by his actions, not by burdening his clients. Do good work and you will be recognized!

Ya... It seems to me inappropriate to ask for a review. Passive "asking" does not seem much different from asking out right. Both seem contrived and less sincere to me. I have always had the impression that if I, (anyone) deserve(s) a review, It will be a blessed and fortunate to get it.

My friend on the other hand has had the idea that if you don't ask you won't receive it. That there is nothing wrong with being proactive about it and that we live in an economy and not a time of ethics. Part of his pint I understand as he mentions that some people are not aware of the option to review, or don't know where, are not familiar with the process. His POV is that they might be more prone to write a review if they knew how, etc. So, educate them, he says. To that I say... "is there some way to do that without reducing the integrity of the situation?"

In my mind... I see the expression of a review as a mark of integrity... where, when someone writes something about a person, about the value of your shared experience together and then shares that with others unprompted, that even though the reviews might not come as frequently, the value of the reviews are significantly more valuable to those reading them... meaning, okay... fewer reviews perhaps but each one is Sincere, came from the genuine choice of the reviewer to take time to write the review that both celebrates their experience together and helps others to evaluate and choose experiences for themselves with Escorts of notable character.

It's the theory of "True Kings" I hold on to: Some people strive to be King, campaign and can even become Kings by means of public relation and direct or subliminal persuasion but, the true King does not seek to define himself. He is defined by those around him and simply IS a "King" by nature. His actions and being are the recognized abstruse but, profound, nature of him honestly by those around him... by nature itself.

So, I see some threads regarding the authenticity of reviews and the value of them. I think to myself, "People can only be what and who they are. True "Kings" will be "Kings" and those trying to be will simply be "trying" to be". Human accounts of History might misconstrue the meaning but, the Truth of the matter is STILL the Truth. Gold is Gold and Pyrite is still Pyrite.

I think about my friends concept of fair marketing strategy in advertising and promoting ones self to import sincere service but, I can not help thinking that the this approach encourages the marketed king and not the True "King".

So, I find belief in myself that to simply be the person I am, helpful as I am by description of those whom exchange and experience Life together with me, (whether they review me or not... reviewing is not the point and sharing quality time together is), is ethically, morally right.

Providing Honest and Sincere, self prompted Reviews provides others with a Sincere expression of valuable time together as experienced by the individual who hired and experienced it.

I get the advantage of advertising but, I personally value more as a provider, or even if I was hiring, ( and as a consumer myself in various ways of Life), Truth in advertising. If I was on the other end of things, I would not want to shop the store or be in a hospital that market products and services contracted in some way by the marketer or institution that received some bonus from the marketing. I would want the service and product that really addressed my need(s).

So, in my mind... when I think about reviews, I think that when written, they are better not prompted by the seller. that when they are self initiated by the consumer, there is more true advertising achieved and that a good service and product is offered that contributes true value to the buyer that can withstand the test of time or contrived marketing schemes.

It provides an honest provision that departs from simple impulse buying or false impression. It is a real and valuable item worth the money and notice.

Again, he retorts... "You'll never get anywhere that way". I respond... "The places I've been seem like everywhere to me". He replies, "Tell me that at the end of the month when bills are due".

I say: "I understand the importance of the bills during my Lifetime. It's the value of my Life and how I contribute to it over-alll that concerns me in the end".

So, since I don't ask for reviews, I ask others on their experience with others in getting and giving reviews... It's a point of curiosity but not my point of resolution. I still feel that Sincerity and Honesty by the hirer provides the information to the Honest Goods. I have this belief about what is important and valuable. I am very reluctant to change that. I am open to see the matter of things though and hope to better understand them. I retain my beliefs though.

My Client asks me to at least consider... So, I reciprocate, out of Respect for him, (and consider that I may not understand completely and have room to grow), by researching. So, I do and ask for your input.

What is important to you as either Client or Escort, quantity or quality/sincerity of reviews?
