Reviews on other sites

I've never read a rentmen review worth a damn

What!? Reviews can be very useful!

I've never read a rentmen review worth a damn, but I'm a crusty ole soul who doesn't use reviews. I am curious if any newbie clients use RM reviews to make a hiring decision.

 

Reviews are what they are. Some reviews are extremely informative while others are light on information, but they still convey how the reviewer felt about his experience. I would say, in the escorting world, the most useless reviews are those on M4RN, where the escort is rated as "extremely hot," "very hot," " somewhat hot," etc., with, apparently, no provenance or verification. Nonetheless, if I were thinking about hiring someone with, say 20 ratings of "extremely hot," I would think it justified a positive expectation of the experience.

I defer to the escorts who have read and rated the reviews they have received on the different platforms. And I can appreciate Killian's perspective that Daddy's isn't the source of clients it might once have been. I confess that I am something of a voyeur, but I do that with an eye to who I might want to hire when I visit the US. Might want and definitely want are two different things, of course.

 

I tend to look at the other sites when I am prompted to do so by seeing a man discussed in here rather than search the other sites speculatively. I accept I may be an outlier but that's how I approach it. But that's just me. Obviously there are heaps of guys who go straight to RM or other sites.

Adam Smith's illustrated post just above reminded me of this classic from German composer Max Reger:

 

“I am in the smallest room of the house. I have your review in front of me. Soon it will be behind me.”

LMAO!

 

So to speak.

[jimboivyo]

there is only one review website and you're on it now

 

imitation might be flattery but nothing compares to daddys. not even close.

I totally agree. This is the only site that I feel is honest about reviews. While I'm sure at times a fake review gets through, Daddy is pretty good at smelling bull shit. And if there was an issue with the review the escort is allowed to give his side. You can't do that on the other sites. Also the layout of the site is so easy to use and not littered with adverts and popups. It's very straight forward, click and browse.

Also, if someone were to leave me a review on the other sites I would ask that they pop over here and leave one here as well.

I'd like to add a short sideline on the power of DaddyReviews.com. Daddy provides not only a review channel, but for those of us who choose to join the forum and stand by our reviews, it also provides a platform for recommendations and dialogue - across more than just one client's perspective. I love the ability to discuss options via PM and even pick up the phone and get a client's unvarnished opinion. I even meet fellow forum members, particularly if I want their opinion on an overnighter or a weekend investment. If I'm gonna drop $2500+ on a weekend, what's treating a fellow forum member to a drink or dinner to get more insight on a particular escort? IMHO, I haven't seen an offering as rich as Daddys - plus it is a helluva good time to be part of this group and make acquaintances!

I disagree. I like the way Rentmen censors them. Do you really have to read on how good someone sucks dick or how passionately they kissed someone else? The review answers the basic questions of time spent, accuracy of pictures, and if you'd recommend them again. If someone's Getting positive reviews they're good at whatever was discussed between themselves and the client in private, where the intimate details should remain. I personally love getting a review and the client talking about the lovely experience they had as a whole and how the time we spent together was special, and not just full of sweat cum and spit. I really do see the slow migration towards longer meetings and more inquiries from guys who want companionship rather than just asking to fuck cum and bounce.

 

I "liked" this post, but I wish I could like it a thousand times.

 

+1000. The single most popular PM question I get when asked about an escort? is he a good kisser?

Personally, that's my #1 and most favorite activity, and interestingly, despite being a big ol' homo here, I find women are particularly good at this skill! Better practice, boys!

 

And what if your idea of a great kisser is someone's idea of a poor kisser or vice versa?

 

But what if they're good at kissing the reviewer but not good at kissing you? What if the reviewer can't kiss and thought the escort was phenominal but he actually was horrible? It's possible and can happen. We've all seen it discussed on the board on one thread or another. But I get it, you want to feel passion and that's understood and I'm just busting your balls. Remember to communicate and express your needs without sounding overly demanding. You'll get what you need

 

I know you're just messing with me, but you're right that nothing is guaranteed. However, I'll tell you two words that eliminate the variables and make me run for the hills...."dry kiss."

 

Killian might be messing with you, but he raises a valid point. I hired a now-retired and very well-liked and regarded escort several years ago. He had many very detailed reviews and all mentioned his great oral topping skills and went into exhaustive details about what a great kisser he was. I explained to him what I wanted, how I like to suck dick, and how I like to kiss. He listened to none of that. When I stopped in mid-session and asked him to change what he was doing he said he would and didn't. Later, I learned from several forum members who had hired the guy that he had a schtick and followed it. Well, guess what was missing from the very detailed reviews? The part about him following a routine from which he did not vary, the part about his deep kissing (which I enjoy) that consisted of him smashing his face into mine (which I do not enjoy), and the part about him face-fucking even when asked not to do so. My guess is the reviewers either liked what he did or did not wish to criticise a forum favorite. I started writing a review, but then he retired. No sense in writing one then.

Oh, well that's simple.: I'm always right. Btw, what's up? Judging from this and a few other contemporaneous posts, you seem to have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. Hope all is well.

I went to write a review on Rentmen once and didn't ever get to it because I didn't want to register on their site. So I wrote it on Daddy's instead like I had done in the past. I think I was paranoid at the time right after the RB shutdown and didn't want to give RM any of my info

[Epigonos]

I used to use rentboy and currently use rentmen for eye candy and to locate escorts I might be interesting in hiring. Once I find an interesting guy I immediately check this site to see if he has any reviews. I never read the reviews on rentboy and seldom read them on rentmen. I know many of the guys who post reviews on this site and trust their judgement. I don’t know any of the reviewers on rentmen and thus have no basis to believe what they write.

 

Additionally I frequently check jawjateck’s site to read his reviews. I know him; I trust his judgement and he has impeccable taste in men.

Of course there are no guarantees that one person's great is the same as another person's good or great, but it's a heck of a lot more useful then a vague description about having a wonderful time and leaving on cloud nine.

 

You are absolutely correct that several people could say he's a great kisser, and then he shows up and is an "eat your face" kind of kisser. I happen to hate that, so he wouldn't be a great kisser for me, but at least I knew he was open to it.

[rvwnsd]

Oh, well that's simple.: I'm always right. ...

 

As am I. My point is this: How valuable is the detailed review when the reviewer's detailed review states a guy is a great kisser and you find that he isn't and didn't take your cues about how to improve?

I say the more information from multiple sources, the better! For a time, Daddy's was the only game in town w/r/t reviews - but there's RM, M4RN, etc.. I believe Haloboys, Gpscort and some of the other smaller/newer sites offer this function as well. In my experience, I've found some of the reviews on Daddy to be wanting - just some, mind you. Also, so much discussion on different gents here in the forums is contradictory and in many cases (at least for the ones I was/am interested in) negative comments seem to come from those who have only made that one post ever and/or other posters here who have not engaged the gent, but throw in their two cents, usually in the negative.

 

As potential clients we all want to make sure we get the encounter we want, so having multiple sources of reviews can only be a good thing, right? I don't need the review to give me chapter and verse of the encounter, the basics on good/bad/indifferent/excellent encounter and limits the gent has and activities the gent really enjoys do help. One thing I do wish is that the reviewers on all sites had to give the basics on themselves -- this would help determine if the gent would be a match (i.e.; for reviewer - age, body type, position would be nice).

 

One question for the gents -- I know some gents ask clients not to review them at all, just curious as to why?

There are lots of reasons.

 

Have you ever read a candid review of yourself?.....It can be hard to take. Even when it's glowing....

 

Also, some guys do things with some clients, that they don't want the rest of the world to know about.

From barebacking, drugs, top, bottom, BFE, total whore, whips and chains, fetish, kink....you name it.

 

Some guys just don't want the whole fucking world to know that....maybe once....in Key West...

on a hot summer night...they got all freaky and licked a dirty dildo that had just been in their ass....

while wild roosters crowed outside...I'm just guessing of course....but maybe.

 

Escorts don't really have control over the content of the reviews and some clients, even when well

intentioned, can write some damaging things in their review.

 

If you've already got 10 glowing reviews.....why risk a wildcard?

One question for the gents -- I know some gents ask clients not to review them at all, just curious as to why?

 

Any number of reasons....

- maybe the session was just ok and the working guy doesn't want a mediocre session represented

- there is something the escort has in his private life that a public review can put into jeopardy

- some just don't want the attention and want to keep a certain circle of clientele

- some just don't care either way

[BtmBearDad]

All very good and valid points @nycman and @big-n-tall that I hadn't considered! Tho had I thought out my query further, I should have gotten there.

Tried to find Haloboys and Gpscort. URLS didn't work. Do you have them?

[LADoug1]

At first I only used Daddy's Reviews without the forum. Once I joined and followed the forum I found that using both is much more helpful and informational.

[rossthebosssf]

I'm now primarily writing reviews on Rentmen. Less information to fill out - do we really need to copy and paste all stats for an established guy? And the reviews publish in a day or two vs. weeks on DR. Unlike M4RN, I have more trust in the review process as RM does verify your phone number. You can also easily click on a reviewer handle and see everyone they have reviewed. If it's a first time reviewer, I'd probably ignore the review, but if they have a history of reviewing multiple reviews then I'll take them more to heart.
