To some level I have a empathy with what she states about some posts on here, that sometimes the reviews can be very direct and over-blunt. However, with this being a punters' forum, SP perhaps should avoid reading reports about themselves, as particularly a negative or neutral one will never be comfortable for them to read if they give a damn about what people say about them.
Agree a lot with what Heph says, first impressions, even for this type of arrangement can count and things that people see lying around could be off-putting in certain circumstances.
I wonder why some SP provide such crap service, such as the well reviewed "Sweet Diane", and they still carry on advertising for work. After all, it is a profession that they have chosen to pursue.
Surely a happy punter is one who may return and if they are posters on here, a good review will perhaps encourage others to book.
Polly, if you were having a relapse in your life and you realised it, perhaps steeping back from your profession might have been advisable until you recovered. You could only expect people to make an negative opinion about someone that they see in relapse and come to the conclusion that they might only be working to cover the costs of the habit.
Having said all that Polly, wishing you all the best, and hope that if/when you return to AW or similar your reputation can be restored.
