Do you think members are too quick to rate their review as a positive?

[puntingking]

My last few reviews have all been marked down as a neutral, which certainly they are.

I have read reviews previously that have been put down as a positive but reading the review you would think it leans more towards a neutral and in some cases a negative.

I know it is their review and all that.

I think some guys can see a booking as a positive because he is on "cloud 9" from ejaculation.
Just because I have ejaculated at a healthy volume, that doesn't mean it was a positive experience.

For me, it is quite simple. If I leave feeling relaxed, very euphoric, heavenly (like an out of body experience). Then it qualifies as a positive.
however if I am left feeling bewildered, feeling underwhelmed, feeling regret or can't wait to leave their place after I had just ejaculated then this would clearly qualifies as a neutral or a negative.
For these punters, I would think they just rush typing their reviews out without waiting a few days at least to allow normality of the booking to set in.

I believe you should never type a review straight away as the way you are feeling as you are typing it may change in how you rate the review. 

The point of a review (in my view) is to honestly be critical, say the good points but don't leave out the bad points. Like a film critic does, but the punters version of a film critic. 


What do you guys think? 

[daviemac]

I think you should post your reviews in the way that suits you and leave others to post theirs in the way that suits them.

How do you determine if another member has posted an over generous review? one man's positive is another's negative. As with all reviews they should be read, use the information found useful and ignore the rest.

Nobody has the right to tell others how or when they should post a review. If they want to post it straight away then great, if they want to wait a while that's alright as well, as long as it's within the six month limit all's good.

[Skeleton]

I guess it all depends on what you are looking for from a punt. I read some reviews which sound like a negative to me, but the punter has got what he wanted from the booking so to him it’s a positive. I have a review to post that was very positive in my opinion but I know some people will think it was too pricey, too much for extras and too vanilla for the cost, but for me it was 

[Adoniron]

It's an entirely subjective process. If a punter enjoyed the experience then he will view it as positive.
It doesn't matter what someone else reading his review thinks about it. We all have different desires and expectations.

I don't think anyone rushes home afterwards to write a review. In my case it will be hours, sometimes not even the same day.

[signy]

Most punts will have positive and negative elements. The rating then depends on how the reviewer balances those elements and which are important to them. An "automatic negative" to some, will be a "not bothered about that" to another, and the same for the positive parts. Yet again, the advice is to read the review to determine those preferences in the reviewer and judge how they match your own.

[daviemac]

I should add, the majority of posts reports reference a member's lack of reviews, we try to address this by offering help, guidance encouragement and advice, trying to dictate how, why and when a member posts a review is counter productive.

All members are free to post reviews as and when they wish without feeling pressurised into what rating to give it or how long they should wait before posting.

Reviews should be an accurate account of the poster's experience and they are free to rate it as they wish.

[RandomGuy99]

If I've enjoyed myself and not died, then I rate that as a positive.

Neutral is it was ok.

Negative is I haven't enjoyed myself and I feel it was a waste of money.

[jseop109]

Part of it may be that when you do a review it's positive by default. To change that requires a positive action, even if only a mouse click.

Personally, I'm aware that a negative review may have an effect on the girl's livelihood, so I would only downgrade the rating if there was a particular complaint, for example a bad attitude or a no-show.

If it was just that it didn't work well personally for me I would tend to put any qualifying detail in the body of the review. I would assume that anyone reading this board to plan a punt would actually take the trouble to read reviews, not just go on the basis of the heading.

[OakTree]

I usually write a report within a few days of the meet and then leave it for a good few weeks before posting.

Just before putting it up I'll read over it and I nearly always end up editing it. The post punt euphoria has long gone and I view it in a far more objective light.

As for how others rate theirs doesn't really matter. It's the content that is the decider for me.

[Blackpool Rock]

I can see where the OP is coming from in terms of reading some reviews and thinking why on earth would this be rated positive it sounds more like negative but then again i've also seen reviews rated negative or neutral for IMO very minor things that read more like a positive.

I've thought and read others quote that perhaps some punters are easily pleased but again some are probably a bit too harsh / picky.

Anyway the fact that they put up reviews which are accurate and contain all the relevant information is most important, I and others can then read the full story and think it's been rated X however i'm still interested or not interested in seeing her.

I would agree however that i'm possibly more likely to rate as positive if I review immediately whereas if you think about it for a day or two you perhaps have a bit more objective clarity 
I've got one to write from Monday and in the walk and subsequent drive back to the car I was thinking low positive but a few days on and it's slipped to a high neutral to a solid neutral
What I do tend to do if i'm still undecided at the point of writing the review is to read it back before posting and decide whether it's a neutral or positive or whether it's a neutral or negative, sometimes when you read the facts laid out in writing it gives better clarity 

[Kingfisher69]

Everybody's criteria and threshold points differ. As do when they feel it's best to post. I tend to post straight away for a number of reasons, the main one being a trust my judgement and don't require time to cool off. The other is many of the girls I see tour, whether that's at massage parlours or WGs, so if I leave it a few days then others may not get the opportunity to visit them.

The other thing to bear in mind is a neutral or negative review can adversely affect a WGs income and it's something I think about when considering how to rate a review. In many instances most WGs have come into this industry through there being no other choice and the emotion distress of having sex for money must be incredible. As blokes we're just happy to bang away and judge, but from the WGs point of view criticism must be incredibly difficult.

[FLYING BLUE]

To answer your question - No.

I'm sure we all use different criteria to arrive at a rating - we are, after all, individuals.

My criteria are;

Postive:

I enjoyed it - it was money well spent
I would return
Hygiene was perfect
Her general attitude was great
She was as described
Overall impression - I'm a happy chappie

Neutral

I could take it or leave it - money spent was just ok
I probably would not return, but may do
General attitude was ok, but not great
Not quite as described
Overall impression was Meh

Negative

Not at all enjoyable - felt it to be a wasted journey & a waste of money
Definitely not return
Attitude poor
Not as described OR as described but 'services' not as shown in advert
Poor hygiene
Overall impression - I'm gonna quit this damn game

Well said mate, I feel that both of your posts are bang on correct and are fair.

As long as the reviews are done with complete honesty and good intentions, within the site rules etc, that's what matters.

[Charliehutton]

Personally, I'm aware that a negative review may have an effect on the girl's livelihood

Far less than you might think, I suspect. The majority of punters - probably a very large majority - aren't UKP members, for a start.

[Snagbadjer]

Far less than you might think, I suspect. The majority of punters - probably a very large majority - aren't UKP members, for a start.

LOL. How come, mate? My assumption is that most regular punters are middle aged guys with a bit of cash, and the younger guys go less. Can't really see Labour voters being big on punting somehow.

[Snagbadjer]

I only give a red if they rush me or don't provide an extra I paid for. It can lead to some grey areas, though, as I've had some amazing punts that I think I gave a negative for (when I was stricter with the ratings) when they got me out after 29 mins or gave FK rather than DFK or whatever.

[Thriceweekly]

It's something I have often wondered about too. Being an older guy I am very easily pleased just to be having sex with a girl half my age! For this reason alone I usually have a "positive" experience. However I am fully aware that my vanilla tastes wouldn't be enough for younger guys who want to have an experience more akin to a hardcore porn video 

So, as others have stated, a lot of the time you've got to read between the lines a bit and try and use your own judgement. It often becomes obvious who the good SP's are though, because they soon rack up numerous positive reviews. And conversely it soon becomes obvious who the piss takers are.

[midspunter]

Sex to me is bit like chocolate or cheese. I really like all three so, as long as there as there's no obvious downside, having any of them is a positive experience.

[puntingking]

I see you are easy to please 


I can see why all of your 13 reviews are a positive then 

[puntingking]

Sex to me is bit like chocolate or cheese. I really like all three so, as long as there as there's no obvious downside, having any of them is a positive experience.

Using your analogy - Good pieces of chocolate give you satisfaction and fills your needs and you need less of it cause it is good quality.
Cheap chocolate like Rubbish sex - leaves you horny again in less than half an hour and you feel like your sexual appetite has not decrease because you are left unsatisfied.

Also, it is not just about the sex. It is about the quality of service. 

Was the service unrushed or was it rushed?
Was the service delivered effortlessly without complaining?
Did the sp make you feel like she was in love with you?
Did the sp make you feel like you were at the center of her universe?
Did the sp act professional while also maintaining her bespoke personalised service?
Did the sp act like she was enjoying her time even though she was not?
Was the sp compassionate?
Did the sp uphold a good standard of hygene for safety?
Was the sp better than your girlfriend or wife?
Did the sp make you want to marry her?
Will you be sad if the sp goes away?

All of this comes into my mind when I am deciding on the rating.

[puntingking]

When i rate a review as a positive, it is truly is a positive.

Those members who are from the London region would know that my recent past positive review ratings have been for Kary divine, Grace Lopez, Julia from Romford crow lane crew. These are just my recent ones.

These ones were truly positive. I don't rate a positive review lightly.
I would not want to encourage a fellow member to waste his time to see a sp off the back of my review and for him to later regret it.
I want my reviews to uphold high standards so that members can safely know that I would not lead a fellow member to see a sp I have seen if they was not any good at what they did.   

[Blackpool Rock]

This is a review site for the benefit of punters so my main aim is to give other punters a fair summary of the punt so that they can decide whether it's worth spending their time and hard earned cash on seeing her not to protect the girls income whether or not she's worth seeing 

[Blackpool Rock]

LOL. How come, mate? My assumption is that most regular punters are middle aged guys with a bit of cash, and the younger guys go less. Can't really see Labour voters being big on punting somehow.

I think Charlie is saying that in reality only a small % of actual punters are members on here therefore a negative review is likely only going to be read by a fraction of the guys who potentially may book her.

Is your political reference actually a joke as UKP sounds like UKIP 

[puntingking]

I'm aware that a negative review may have an effect on the girl's livelihood,

not our problem. Maybe if she would improve her servicies then she would get positive reviews which would counteract the negative ones 

So you don't believe in leaving a negative review of a resturant or another type of business then 

Reviews are written to help customers, They are not written (no matter what industry) to cause the business any harm intentionally. It is purely to help customers decide if they want to give a business his or her custom.

Those two would be big negatives for me tbh, especially nowadays, but I appreciate that we all look for different things.

[midspunter]

I see you are easy to please 


I can see why all of your 13 reviews are a positive then 

In a sense, that's a fair enough comment which made me laugh but also, I've been doing this for a really long time and I think you get much better at ignoring the little brain and making good decisions. Nowadays, I very rarely jump into a punt and anything that looks like a red flag, even a little, I just don't take the chance. There's a woman who has recently appeared on AW in an area I visit regularly who I like the look of that I've swapped a couple of messages with but - and this perhaps shows how picky I have become - the room shown in her images are a bit bedsit-like and untidy. That means I'm probably not going to take the risk. Experience shows it is more likely to mean dodgy personal hygiene, unclean sheets, lateness and a grim shower with a used hand towel. Maybe unreasonable pedantry helps to ensure positives. It's certainly been a long time since I walked away from a punt feeling dissatisfied.

[midspunter]

Blimey. I just know whether I was pleased that I went or not.

Yep. it's a really simple scale. I take it to mean "Are you pleased you went"/"Are you ambivalent about having gone"/"Do you wish you hadn't bothered".

[Fuzzyduck]

Two things to consider when reviewing someone else's review: you're not the OP and you weren't in the room.

When I see a punter with 100% positive reviews I take those reviews with a pinch of salt: perhaps they are easily pleased, or they are very good at picking punts that would work for them, or they don't like posting negative reviews. When I see a punter with lots of negative reviews, I wonder what the back story is. Maybe they don't post the positives to keep the SPs to themselves, or they just have a downer on life/women.

Whatever the reason, I suggest OP looks at himself as to why he's not enjoying the punts so much rather than trying to assert that other punters are being too positive. Maybe they just like casual fucking? Wanting to feel like the SP is in love with me, and that I'd want to marry her are certainly not on my mind when I do a review.

[Skeleton]

Those two would be big negatives for me tbh, especially nowadays, but I appreciate that we all look for different things.

100% agree with this, just proves we all look fo different things so reviews and ratings are always subjective

[Fookmefooku]

So I tend to have certain criteria with how I review punts. Some of these things weigh more heavily on the final result than others. At the same time, If one element of the service is really good, and another really shit, depending on what element it is, depends on the final rating.

Finally, I probably hold those in the higher price brackets to a higher standard than your £60-70 pump and dumps. So I may be more likely to give them a positive compared to the £200+ ones

[puntingking]

Whatever the reason, I suggest OP looks at himself as to why he's not enjoying the punts so much rather than trying to assert that other punters are being too positive.

I am still enjoying punting and I have left a great deal of positive reviews.

I believe a lot of punters thinking that a booking went well because they purely just ejaculated.
No ejaculation to me have ever felt not good, that is the point of ejaculation.

If punters are just delighted that they have ejaculated then I would advise for them to just stay at home and wank instead as that would equal the same result.

I am critical but I am fair in doing so in my reviews.

You would not rate a movie as a positive film just purely because you stayed and watched it till the end 

Punters should have high standards when they see sps. It should feel and be better than civvie sex because you are paying for it.

If you want rubbish sex just go to a nightclub and hook up with a random woman that way.

[puntingking]

It's certainly been a long time since I walked away from a punt feeling dissatisfied.

That is great 

[Doc Holliday]

Puntingking. I hope you will take this as constructive, but you have a tendency to be concerned about things which, in the overall scheme of things, are either not of any majority importance and/or cannot realistically be changed or improved 

It should feel and be better than civvie sex because you are paying for it.

I will comment on this part though which is just not accurate in my experience.

[whiskyfan]

What do you guys think? 

Ignore the ratings, just read the reviews and make your own mind up from your own perspective. I've read positive reviews that I wouldn't touch with a bargepole and negatives that didn't put me off. Everyone has their own preferences and they don't always align but all information (as long as factual) is useful.

Agreed.

[Upsndowns79]

The overall rating is as subjective as the beauty of the SP.

The important thing is to read and understand if the services and attitude of the girl is what you are looking for.

When I’m conducting my investigations of a girl, if I see:

- Lots of green reviews I think she will be consistently good but it doesn’t mean she will be amazing to me. I will read the most recent reviews or reviews from members I’ve learned to trust and decide if she goes on the hotlist or not.

- A mixed bag of colours I will still read some reviews and a collection of the reds and greens. Are the reds due to the odd poor bit of comms or been reluctant to provide services I’m not interested in or what reads like a lack of connection? Are the greens delivering the type of service that I like, are they recent, are they from members who share similar tastes to me? If so…… onto the hot list.

- A loads of Red/Grey reviews. This means they are crap and I don’t bother reading.

The devil is in the details not the rating.

[Snagbadjer]

Honestly, a bloke has to be deluded or moronic to expect a working girl to behave as if she's "in love with him."
