Note the observation that fake reviews often contain many references to "I," yet are lacking in specifics. Hmmmmmm...as in "I won't describe what happened." Maybe because nothing did.

 

Renter beware.

it may be useful to come up with guidelines for detecting fake reviews on this particular site. One is a preponderance of reviews by first timers. Style is another -- sentence length and patterns, cadence, voice. And sometimes different reviews sound as if they're describing the same particular talent or activity -- e.g. "he loves to eat armpits." This can be a difficult call, because some guys do have notable talents. Other suggestions?

A few suggestions:

 

1) Know that a review is based on someone else's perception. Their perspective may differ from yours.

2) Understand that a review is subjective.

3) Recognize that FEAR stands for False Evidence Appearing Real. If you fear falling for fake reviews you will find them, even when they aren't there.

4) Accept the risk that an encounter might not live up to your expectations. Even when an escort has several genuine, positive, blisteringly-detailed reviews from seasoned reviewers.

5) Accept the possibility that an encounter may exceed your expectations. Even when an escort has few or no reviews or reviews from first-time reviewers.

6) Remember to take ownership of your encounter. Ask questions, listen to the answers, and determine whether the guy you are talking to (or e-mailing/texting) is right for you.

 

Personally, I think suggestion #6 is the most important.

yes, we all have to accept responsibility for our own actions....do your own research.....keep expectations in check.....don't blame others for your own mistakes....gee, this is all so common sense......
