How do I review this guy?

I think the point here is: What's your intention for posting a review? Do you want to document every encounter you have? Do you want to help other clients with your useful information? Do you want to help the escort promote himself?

 

All these options will grant different responses, but in the end I come back to the same thought:

 

If you don't like chocolate, it would be entirely useless and confusing if you posted a review about the famous "Dark Devil's Sin" chocolate cupcake.

 

"Yeah, it's chocolate, and it was fluffy. The icing has three layers of different chocolates and the centre has soft chocolate fudge... meh! I certainly won't have another. Ever. I ate it. It was satisfactory but certainly won't spend money on it again."

 

If the escort was good, accurate in his representation, worked hard and intelligently, focused on you and your needs, communicated well and was likeable but you didn't feel chemistry with him, why would you need to review him? He clearly is not your cup of tea. Posting a review, regardless of how honest it may be, would only be confusing and inaccurate.

 

If you ate the chocolate cupcake without liking chocolate and found a maggot in it and the icing was rancid, by all means, review. If your escort (which by the way is not your cup of tea) smelt funny, was late, was aloof, fat, ugly, mean or not fat enough, by all means let everyone know. Your review will be useful to both those who like chocolate and those who don't.

 

I think often clients are unaware of how hurtful it can be for the escort when they use faint praise.

 

A while ago a review of mine was posted and I was dumbfounded. The guy said something like "It was a good session. Juan is good and it was pleasant." (Of course I am exaggerating here.) I tried and tried to understand who this guy was but couldn't. At the same time I was having intense and profuse correspondence with a client who repeatedly -and ever so eloquently kept telling me how I had changed his life, opened his eyes to himself, and how mind-blowing his experience had been with me, all this in the most passionate and beautiful hyperbole even months after the session. At one point he said: "you didn't comment on my review, though." I couldn't believe this was the same person! Nothing in his review mentioned anything specific about our session and nothing in it spoke about the experience he told me he had had.

 

"I am just a private person." He explained.

 

Still today whenever I read his review, I can't help but worrying about that entirely dissatisfied client who had an OK session, even if I know he didn't.

 

If your review will be useful to anyone, by all means, post it. If you are not an expert or even interested in the product you are thinking of reviewing... why bother?

 

My point is: Do you like goddamed chocolate or not? ;-)

 

See? Now you've upset Juan.

NO, thats his docile post. When he's upset, it goes for Pages !

I like the fact Juan cursed, plus I want to know if that's a real cupcake.

Respectfully, as a client, I disagree. if the review states all those things (& they are true), then there is no inaccuracy. All of those statements are positive and tell me worthwhile things about the escort. If the client had was looking for something different, that's information about the client, not the escort, and doesn't factor into MY decision, unless I KNOW that my tastes are exactrly the same as the client - in which case it's worthwhile knowing that I probably wouldn't be satisfied either.

 

When I read restaurant or movie reviews, I often compensate for differences between my tastes/preferences & those of the reviewer, and filter out some criticisms.
