Who writes the best reviews?

[Dan25085]

I tend to find my to do list is made up from reviews that I have read from others punters. A good reviewer is worth his weight in gold on this forum.

MrfishyFoo and bedhedred are two of my favourites that I find are very engrossing and seem to be very honest.

Who are your favourite reviewers?

[chadpitt]

I like alibirmingham's reviews. I've used his as a template in how to format reviews. They're easy to follow.

[daviemac]

I'm not sure what this has to do with actual punting or what the point of it is.   

mrfishyfoo may have 196 reviews to his name, which is highly commendable, but not one is of any use to me, I'm not in his area.

I would imagine most members concentrate on reviews posted in the areas they punt in.

Understood, but just browse the reviews of “Mutiny on the County”. Enough to make anyone upsticks and move to the East Midlands ? BTW, what’s happened to MOTC ?

Just searched and found that MOTC has been active recently. He should publish those memoirs

[ulstersubbie]

Tricky one this, people can get offended quite easily. I tend to gravitate towards the kinkier/BDSM reviews because that's my thing.

Like Davie says, a lot of punters will concentrate on their own regions, which makes sense. I take my hat off to Colston36, whose reviews are some of the most depraved I have ever read.

You do understand that reviews are intended to help punter make reliable choices don't you? Why on earth would I want to read reviews from an area I will never punt in.   

Or is it your's or the OP's intention to encourage Mills and Boon type reviews. Basic facts about the escort and what services are on offer and how they are delivered are the only things that interest me.

Yes, understand 100%. I happen to live right on the borders of UKP East Anglia and UKP East Midlands and my work (pre Covid) involves travel to most of those areas hence my interest in reviews from both patches. Is MOTC Mills and Boon ? Who knows ? All I can say is that his reviews have led me into pastures previously unexplored. TY MOTC

I've no idea what MOTC's reviews are like, I've never read them, I only read the ones in the area I punt in.

I'm just struggling to see the point of a thread in the main punting discussions section of the forum that's purely to pat a reviewers back. In our area we comment on the actual review thread that has been posted.

Don't forget you were the one who told me to read reviews I have no interest in.

[Dan25085]

Apologies,  I hadn't  intended to do anything apart from to get  casual and light hearted conversation started. I enjoy reading reviews and taking tips from them and thought it would be nice to have other members share their favourite reviews.
I travel a lot, so it's only really Scotland, Wales and Ni that I will tend to not punt in.

Feel free to carry on, I'm just posting my opinion.   

[filthy.john]

I share your opinion.

I can feel my eyes roll involuntarily when I read the reviews of some of the prolific reviewers who write chapter & verse and adopt a trade mark style.

Its almost as if it's all about them; almost as if they're taking more pleasure from writing the review with high hopes of receiving accolade for their literary prowess rather than just delivering the essential information in a simple, no nonsense style. Trying to establish themselves as 'celebrity' reviewer. I tend to think this thread supports that view.

[Stevelondon]

I think in a sense it’s why we are on here. To be read, to join in.
Some folk are better writers than others it’s as simple as.

I do agree that some reviews are incredibly dramatic and will probably say more about the ph yet than the girl being written about 

I browse the reviews. Mostly my area and the SE. But as I used to get about a bit. It was always nice to just check in somewhere else.

As for review styles.
Punctuation is the key.
I love those long winded sentences without commas or full stops.

Takes your breath away 

[Longshot]

The user who reviews the birds i want to see

Couldnt give a fuck if the review is detailed, informative, funny etc if i have no interest in seeing the girl

[RAJEC]

Not bothered by who writes the ‘best reviews’, but I’ll try and read them all.

You know you’re a punter when you read a review, see the profile and go for a punt in an area you’d never normally go to 

[JontyR]

I like a review that doesn't require loads of questions afterwards.

Also I don't like the headlines that contains opinion "best / worst / hottest ever". Unless there is something that is of massive importance - like a danger to punters then its nothing more than a "look at me". 

[DrGFreeman]

some discussion boards have a 'reports of distinction' tag to highlight particularly useful/insightful/amusing reviews
I think some kind of recognition would be good - where is the harm and it might be fun ?

It encourages members to exaggerate or embellish reviews to gain recognition. Not what this site is about. Reviews need to be an honest and accurate account of the booking not a load of crap so the reviewer can say "look at me, top of the board".

The knowledge that you have posted a review that may help others and the subsequent thanks on the relative thread should be all that is required.

 

[JamesKW]

Quality of review doesnt really matter to me, I am only interested in those that see a similar type of prossie to me and in the same area,normally cheap ones.Thats why I like reviews by Smiths ,Bedrehded,David Good,Sparta Prava,Sparkus.I also like reviews of HOD girls or parties that I may visit.I am not interested in those which are more a review of the performance of the reviewer than the girl.

My days of wanking over porn stories are long gone. I prefer the real thing. 

[knightofthegarter]

I personally think the detailed reviews are useful. Sure there is probably an element of showing off at times but if a particular punt was not a good experience then presumably the poster would not devote so much time to writing a long review and is hopefully indicative of a good sp. Having said that some reviews are so long I can't be bothered to read them.

[Dan25085]

Crazyoldhaag does good reviews, also. He's recent review on Lizzy S has twisted my arm to part with some more hard earned cash. I probably wouldn't have be tempted otherwise.

[norwichfunseeker]

Whilst I tend to punt in my own locality, i have asked some 'seasoned reviewers' on here for some advice and even recommendations when the local pickings are low, or im travelling to a different area for work.

Its nice to see who has a good track record, and similar likes to myself, by way of service and appearance in a WG. Its also useful if a girl is about to visit your area, and has been reviewed in other areas previously.

Not overly fussed by how flowery the review is, just like to extract the pertinent points, and make an assessment from that. Indeed I have been guilty of writing fluffyesque ones myself previously, but they tend to be from the better, more enjoyable punts, and its nice to relive the experience.

[mr.bluesky]

Dashing Kant who normally posts reviews in the East Midlands has quite an unusual style . Sort of medieval comedy 

[l4at]

Clearly some good writers on this forum however I either don’t have the talent or the time to write engaging, wordy reviews. I just try to stick to the facts and hope it helps the fellow punter.

A factual review is better than no review.
We aren't here for Mills & Boon.

[scutty brown]

Something to mull over.
Over the last six weeks or so two of our most flamboyant "best reviewers" have been exposed as frauds. One turned out to be a violent rapist pimp, while the other proved to be a blackmailing boundary pushing extortionist.
Next time you read a detailed blow-by-blow review, ask yourself "How realistic is this?"

As a forum in the last couple of years we've lost a lot of the members who provided the analysis which picked such rogues, it's time for others to start being more critical.

Very kind of you, your honour. I think writing well about sex without descending into cliche is incredibly hard, nigh on impossible.

One problem is that what interests one person doesn't interest another. Another is that most encounters are pretty straightforward - nothing wrong with that - but not that interesting. A third is that what interests one person bores or even revolts another.

However others' odd likes fascinate me. Mr. Shins who likes having his shins kicked, is well off the beaten track. At the moment I am focused on helping a chap who wants his balls kicked. going down on as many women as possible at a sex club and having a trio with a young couple 60 plus years younger than me but commendably filthy.

But I really appreciate this site - it saves us all a lot of wasted time and money. And it has made me consider some very simple pleasures I have never experienced, like massage, believe it or not, or tie and tease. If anyone knows ladies within reach of Bristol that do that with the maximum possible titillation I'll be grateful.

A certain member on the West Midland section is notorious for playing the white knight card to anyone who has a brain/ who can think for themselves, who sometimes has the audacity to bring into question a members review. It has happened recently, the blackmailing, boundary pushing, extortionist case being an example. You know who you are. 

[GorillaWarfare]

Yeah, I don't have a "favourite reviewer" but there's obviously people I recognise as they've saved me a horror punt a lot, or recommended a WG who I've gone on to enjoy for myself. I do also understand some people write longer reviews than others (I'll be honest, I do write long reviews) however it's more in my case to get information about the experience to any potential punter who wants to take a chance on that WG.

I agree about the "recognition" thing a lot of people brought up, you don't want this site turning into something like Reddit where people only want to get "upvotes" or whatever this site's equivalent would be. Then it turns into people exaggerating, embellishing or trying too hard to funny over being factual and informative.

I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with long reviews or humour in a review as long as it's, at its core, factual. I don't come here to read Mills and Boon nor to read someone's stand up comedy set.

[B4bcock]

When I write a review I try to get in as much detail as I can remember.  I do this for myself, primarily, so that I have an accurate record of the encounter for my own future reference.  What the rest of you think of my reviews I couldn't give a toss about.   

[HailWood]

Understood, but just browse the reviews of “Mutiny on the County”. Enough to make anyone upsticks and move to the East Midlands ? BTW, what’s happened to MOTC ?

I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoy reading MOTC’s reviews. While his particular style of punting is very different to mine, his reviews make both thought a provoking and an entertaining read IMO. We have seen several of the same SPs and it shows the flexibility in service that some lasses can deliver. I always welcome a little humour in a review (such as Charlie Hutton or Dashing Kant) to lighten monotony.

As far as styles go, I feel aggressive criticism is unhelpful and there should be room for all genuine reviewers. If you don’t like a reviewers style then just don’t read it; others may be grateful for it.

[Crockers]

Me.

Wise words Scutty. Having been here for a few years I've seen the rise - and fall - of a few "celebrity punters". Celebrating the "best" reviewer can inflame the self-opinions of those bad apples. Small in number as I still believe them to be.

And, for the avoidance of doubt, that's not to denigrate any of those mentioned above. It's just a general principle I think we should be mindful of.

[Thephoenix]

Nothing special about my reviews other than they're obviously written by an ageing punter.

So in that context, I 'generally' like to read reviews that give me similar information to what I put in my reviews, so that I can probably decide if the sp provides a service suitable for my needs.

Having said that, some of the funny ones are hilarious, and  unfortunately can sometimes include some negative reviews.

It's a shame, but sometimes we can't help laughing at others misfortunes.

[JPin]

This is the main reason I post reviews. This forum helped me so much when I first started to explore the idea of punting, so I post reviews in case others (especially newbies) gain any useful info from them.

That said, I do enjoy some of the more entertaining reviews on here. King Tarzan always creases me up with his emoji overload, for instance.

I read most reviews relevant to my tastes (and sometimes not) in my areas when I have time though, as every single one has something in there that can be of use.
