What's your Positive review rate ?

[Perrier]

I've recently been criticised for 21 positives out of 23 reviews.

I generally read here first, so hope not to make too many mistakes, but it got me wondering - am I just easily pleased ?

[Silver Birch]

I tend to visit wgs who are well reviewed on here and had a run of 18-24 mths without a bad punt.

Don't know if you're easily pleased, but if you've been picking well-reviewed girls from here then you ought to have a solid success rate. 

[Herts_Outcaller]

You can only tell your own truth

maybe you are easily pleased? or maybe you've had luck, or researched well.

People on this site don't pull punches, and often don't like sps, you're much more likely to get stick for a positive than a negative

must admit, I've considered not publishing positive reviews in order to balance my "ratio", but what good does that do the community?

I pick girls well reviewed on here and thus rarely go wrong, plus i REALLY enjoy punting generally.
 
anyways my current record is 13  , 4  , and 2    . Looking back, I'd only change one of the neutrals to a negative, the rest of the reviews I'd keep the same score.

The important thing is to tell the full story of the punt and let people decide for themselves if they want to see the girl. Positive reviews should have caveats if necessary and negatives should come with credit where it's due

[cueball]

I pay no attention to my reviews ratios and stats.... I pay, I podge and I report back my findings

[The Outsider]

I just did some maths and out of 85 reviews, mine are as follows:

69% Positive
18% Negative
13% Neutral

No idea how that compares to the rest of you.  Of course, the reviews don't include regulars or repeat visits so my actual percentage of positive punts is higher. 

[fitsy07lfc]

Im the same, i usually check on UKP before meeting a girl (apart from 2 occasions in which i had 1 positive and 1 negative), so i try my best to avoid wasting money on a bad punt, also im not the most prolific punter anyway so im always wary of the choices i make

[Plan R]

70% +ve
13% Neutral
17% -ve

I like what I like, am a dirty sod, and the negatives have all been really crap service that I would spare fellow punters.

[catweazle]

Interesting..... l thought mine would be a higher positive score than it is:

Positive    77%
Negative   15%
Neutral        8%

[Derrick101]

Mainly +ve, 1 neg as it didn't happen, and a neutral.
Been lucky with TOFTT punts..
Too many negs would tend to indicate an unlucky TOFTT, not noticing other negs here, or just catching WG on a bad day 

[heathen666]

6 reviews
5 positive
1 Neutral

[threechilliman]

As above.

[notcalledchris]

15 positive
5 neutral
2 negative

5 not (yet) reviewed (since joining UKP)

Id say i am quite fussy. 

[shagmore]

That is like asking how longs a piece of string, I had a good session where they were all positive, then things went south.
So it depends entirely on your perception of the experience, thats why do research to see if you at least stand a chance

Probably, yes you are --------------- but you are not alone, I never cease to be amazed when I read some of the reviews on here, many positives should be a negative in my opinion.

Without even looking at your punting stats, I will say this: there are some people who'll get the best out of most situations, and some who won't. If they turn up for a punt looking for a good time and looking to connect with the WG in a way that will get them what they want, and having a reasonable rapport with the WG, then they're more likely to get that.

If on the other hand, you go in with a pushy attitude where you've mapped out exactly what you want and if you see the slightest of reluctance at any point and it raises your hackles, then it's little surprise if you have a shit punt

Of course there are obvious disappointments like being pushed out the door early after one pop, bad hygiene, lying profile photos, B&S or blatant refusal to do things which are clearly stated as Enjoys on the profile, and they fully deserve to get badly reviewed, full stop.

To simply and slavishly have the attitude that the customer is always right (as some people do) will not get you the best service in Tescos, let alone in a situation where you're having sex with someone.

So, as in so many other areas in life, YMMV. And some people will always seem to have shit punts, and annoyingly for them, some others will always seem to have good ones.

But of course the golden rule if you want a high likelihood of a good punt, is do your homework, check reviews here and have a close look at the AW profile. And that's what this place is for.

The other alternative is to have good radar and TOFFT. Blessed are the TOFFTers, for they shall receive their reward of the valued approbation of their UKP peers.

[nodough]

Currently 2 for 2 but I'm not sure about Alice, as I have more punts I imagine my opinion of that one will worsen.

[Spunky34]

Not much point in worrying about it, there are lots of factors which skew it.  For example if you see a girl multiple times, you'll probably only review once unless service level changes or some other major change.  Not everyone sees things the same way - not only "my neutral is your negative", but also some people will always give a negative (blame the girl) if they had a shit time, whereas if you look at my last review I gave the girl a positive even though I had a bad punt because (as I try to explain in the review) I don't think there was any part of that which was her fault. 

And of course people are more likely to review a negative than every positive.

[PleadInsanity]

The important bit is that you contibuted with reviews.
You may or may not be easily pleased but if your review is a fair account of what went down then people can make their own judgement for if it would suit them.

[poundstock]

I do my homework. Get the research done. No impulse buying. I expect excellence and out of 30 punts with 8 escorts, 28 have been excellent and two average.

Your last review features a 51 year old ------------------ God only knows her true age.   

Clearly you are easy to please.   

[Lady Lover]

Of the 16 reviews I have completed:

10 
3   
3 

Like other guys on here, I try to go for well reviewed girls to avoid disappointment, inevitably not all go to plan

[Fuzzyduck]

56% positive (10-6-2).

I make sure I post any neg/neutrals but not all positives (e.g. a regular).

Anyone know what the site-wide stats look like?

[poundstock]

Can’t see age has got anything to do with it but if I am easily pleased so are many of your fellow punters who have given positive reviews.

[MrMatrix]

31-11- 17. Doesnt include todays positive or any of my regulars so positives would be a lot higher. Not only that I feel I can be quite a hard marker and there are several walk offs in my negatives.

[NigelF]

I've recently been criticised for 21 positives out of 23 reviews.

I generally read here first, so hope not to make too many mistakes, but it got me wondering - am I just easily pleased ?

It depends. You have 2 negatives (for actual meets, not just no-shows) and 21 positives and so if you have been choosing carefully (especially based on reviews on here, as you've said) then that doesn't seem like an unreasonable record on the face of it. However I presume you've reviewed all your negatives but not all your positives. If you've had lots more punts and only 2 have been poor then perhaps you are easily pleased. Other signs you might be easily pleased include:
- You give positives where numerous others have given neutral or negatives
- You don't tend to find anything even slightly negative to say in your positive reviews

Obviously, punting is subjective and it depends on many factors including how careful you are in choosing (it's a huge scale). Being easily pleased is mostly a good thing for you but not for your reviews (in terms of helping others). However, the fact that you're concerned you might be easily pleased, to me suggests that you are reviewer who is genuinely trying to be objective and helpful to others.

Perhaps another way you might be able to see if you're easily pleased is if you think other reviews sound quite harsh. If you can be bothered, please have a look at some of my recent negative reviews (of Rachel Honey, Lil Miss Dynamite and/or Rosey96) and/or my neutral of Little Riley and tell me if you think if any of them are a bit harsh, and if so, why. Don't worry, I won't be offended by whatever you say, I am genuinely curious. Do note that the reviews are very detailed and rather long so you might only want to read one (or indeed none at all).

I can't be arsed working out my review rates but I do try to review all or almost all of my negative or neutrals (and I tend to post them promptly) but the same definitely can't be said for my positives (although I do review many).

Probably, yes you are --------------- but you are not alone, I never cease to be amazed when I read some of the reviews on here, many positives should be a negative in my opinion.   

Yes and those are just the tip of the iceberg. At least they're good reviews though - because they included enough detail for you to conclude that it would be a negative for you. I'm sure some punters just don't notice or care about any negative aspects (or don't see them as negative aspects) and so only write positive things - those are the really easily pleased people and sometimes it's hard to tell if they're being really fluffy/have the rose tinted glasses on or if the WG really is that good (although thankfully often there are signs, including if you look at their other reviews).

[RedKettle]

No system is perfect and no system (thank god) can allow for the fact we are all different.

All you can do is give you honest opinion and where you are uncertain about an aspect of the punt explain that in the review.

There is a mantra on here that some of us are too easily pleased.  It tends to be from long standing members who like to swing their dicks and show how macho they are.  If you had a good time and would be happy to go back to see her again that is a positive. 

As has been said above generally if you have done your research and you go in with a positive attitude the punt will be good.  I suspect if I look at my negatives most will be ones that did not have positive reviews on here.

[lewisjones23]

a bigger problem are people who only review their positive bookings and dont post the negatives for fear of upsetting the WG or some other deluded shite

[Perrier]

please have a look at some of my recent negative reviews (of Rachel Honey, Lil Miss Dynamite and/or Rosey96) and/or my neutral of Little Riley and tell me if you think if any of them are a bit harsh, and if so, why.

You seem to be a harsher marker than I am - but then again, I wouldn't revisit a neutral....

I guess as others have pointed out, the rating is somewhat subjective, accurate detail is what matters - if others get some insight then hopefully I've helped.

Maybe my review of Megan should have been neutral - she looked nothing like her pictures or description, but I had a good time anyway so went positive ....

Hit the nail on the head - I usually go with the flow and have no particular script or requirements - I do my research, but ask for nothing specific before the punt and take what's on offer when I get there.

Maybe that defines me as easy to please in the eyes of some.....

[NigelF]

Yeah, fair enough. I just had a look at your review of Megan, as you say, as long as the details are there, the rating doesn't really matter and I think that holds true for your review review of her (even though I likely would've given her a neutral).

I had a look at your Gabriella review too (as I've seen her myself) and I thought that was fair and accurate (based on my on experience).

From what I can tell you're not easily pleased per se, you just tend to care more about service than looks, which is fair enough. You also notice and are not afraid to point out flaws/negative aspects of a WG's appearance (and probably service in other reviews), which as you say, is much more important than your rating.

[NigelF]

Ah right, yes that'll probably be it then. I ask for specific services in advance (which I make sure they agree to) and if they're delivered poorly, I'm not usually very happy. The main issue for me is usually DFK. I like proper DFK and while many will agree to it, only some do it properly the rest just deliver FK or even worse just lip kissing. I find most girls to be fine in terms of OWO and sex/enthusiasm. I also probably take more risks in terms of seeing those with no, few or dodgy/mixed reviews.

[marcello]

I must agree that reviews are totally subjective and you can get decent values out of negatively reviewed WG for that matter, given you know what to expect.
All this being said, if the ratio positive/negative & neutral is like 10 to 1 I start putting in perspective the reviewer because either is easily pleased or is too risk averse.

...or has no sense of value for his money...

or is writing positive, promotional reviews in return for real or perceived inducements...

or is a tout...or white knight... but, whatever else, his judgements are way out of line with the common experience here, and may be discounted accordingly.

I will always review as I find whether its a good, bad or indifferent punt. I take the time to write reviews on here to help fellow punters, not to please certain individuals.

Suggest you ignore the criticism.

[Punchdrunk]

12 negatives  out of 23 reviews

I think my review of Megan followed yours Perrier. I too wasnt sure about the positive or Neutral. I always think performance is more important than looks. But your review covered this - you gave all the details and we are the wiser for it.
My review covered much the same and our meeting with her was much the same. My summation wrestled with issue NF has raised. And I gave a neutral. But the important thing is YOU did a review and I wouldn't critisize it as it was your punt and its your view point. And for that I thank you.
I think we all mark slightly differently at times. I have been criticized in the past. I can accept the criticisim, but the important thing is to do a review. If the facts are there I can sort the wheat from the chaff myself.

However there are too many people who use this forum and dont do any reviews- now that is something to be challenged

[bearcat69]

I don't personally think there's anything inherently wrong with just being"easily pleased", although I would say that it's best to be honest about that and then let others form their own opinions on the value of your opinions to them.

Fortunately, the way UKP is designed let's us all see and form our own opinions on whether you are such a reviewer, whether you volunteer such information or not.

I do think though that there can be a certain value in easily pleased reviews. I wouldn't punt a girl on the back of such a review alone, but a range of opinions can help put things into perspective...

If I see an easily pleased positive review next to a hard to please neg, then I know to proceed with caution. If I see hard to please neg on its own, I'll be a bit cautious. If I see a hard to please pos next to a easy to please pos then I know I'm in business. If I see an easy to please neg next to a hard to please neg, I run a fucking mile.

Funnily enough, I consider myself easy to please. All I want is a punt with a reasonably fit girl, with a decent personality and attitude, who is not too inconvenient to book, and who charges reasonable rates. Turns out though that I don't always find that as easy to acquire as I thought I would.

I think that's a bit harsh - the OP has put a fair amount of detail into his reviews, which is always welcome in my book.  I've said it before, but positive / neutral / negative only gives us three options to choose from, and punts in my view can fall into more than three categories.

[cueball]

The devil is in the detail. You've got to read the review, no matter what the rating is.

I think maybe I’m a little on the ‘easily pleased’ side. 11 positive & 2 neutral. But you can’t change reviews on here, if I did, now that a bit more time has passed I’d change another to a neutral from positive I think looking back on vfm. Oh well

[Charliehutton]

Interesting question. I've just counted mine, and to answer your question, it's currently 57% positive, 26% neutral and 17% negative. I've no idea how that compares.

By the way, they're your reviews to rate as you see fit, so have you, in the nicest possible way, of course, told your critic to fuck off?
