Author Topic: Do you think members are too quick to rate their review as a positive?  (Read 3635 times)

I've probably moved from mostly negative to mostly positive. Mindset shift more than post punt glow but maybe it is a lowering of expectations over time  :unknown:

Offline puntingking

I must admit I have probably been too generous in assigning positives to what on refection should  have been neutral
Hopefully i included enough detail for others to draw their own conclusions.


as for me, I am never too generous. I am more likely to change my mind from a positive to a neautral if I have some doubt over what rating I should give.

I err on the side of caution. I would not want to lead a punter to see a sp based on my review and for them not having a good time with her.

As for me, I have (and I always have had) a high level of expectation. It is higher now since I know what some good sps are about. There are some really good sps in London so I hold everyone to the same standards as the best sps I have had the pleasure to see.


Over the last year, my positive experiences that was positive in every meaning of the word was:

i have seen lots of sps in the past that acted like they were in love with me, I know they were not.
This point (along with other points) makes this hobby addictive.

Like I said, deluded.

Offline OakTree

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

I'd be a bit put off if she came on to me like that.

I look at it like a fuckbuddy experience. I've had relationships like that in the past where it is purely sexual, Just fucking for the fun of it.

That's the kind of punt I want.

I like constructive advice, criticism or your thoughts that are offered in a direct way.  :hi:

Fair enough. Here is my lengthy viewpoint as to why you are overthinking it from someone who historically has done just that  :D

Long post. Reading is optional  :D

Internet reviews of anything are at best a guide. There is the element of bias and downright fakery/fraud on some review sites to contend with, but overall UKP suffers far less with this. The punting genre is not entirely free from this though. AW is an example.

Specifically, in terms of reviewing paid for sexual encounters (rather than an electrical appliance, hotel or builder etc) then there is the highly 'subjective' nature of what constitutes a positive experience and which is under discussion here and already commented on by others.

This is hugely variable from the ‘pump and dump’ (surprisingly common) for some men who really do just want to ejaculate into/onto and attractive and frequently younger female, and moves through to the wine and dine overnight GFE and then everything in between.
Then there are the more specialist services eg BDSM and others which are somewhat esoteric in nature and rarely reported on but which SP’s are often asked for on a daily basis. Sometimes these are asked for within what is an otherwise vanilla encounter.

Around two decades ago and during a period when I was posting reviews at a rate of 2/3 a week, I was a great exponent of both encouraging people to review and also guilty of over analysing the format and accuracy of said reviews. I had at that point seen many hundreds of different SP’s of all ages, sizes etc. Internet review sites were still somewhat in their infancy but expanding at a great rate.

A couple of incidents arose which led to a 'Damascus' moment for me. This was the realisation that what I was looking for and consequently the service I was receiving, was in many instances very unlikely to match that received by others. In particular volume and variety was my thing.

I had already posted about some negative experiences of SP's who were highly rated 'internet forum darlings', with large positive feedback but, on the day, it didn’t match my experience. My internet status was resilient enough that I was able to post negatively and withstand any flack from 'fanboys. The latter have historically been a huge problem on review sites. Less so on UKP but it is not exempt. Often in the above scenario I would receive messages from other members saying “that happened with me also but I didn’t review as I was concerned about the reaction”.
 
More importantly though was the opposite situation .. a positive meeting with SP's who had a fair number of negative reviews.

The most pronounced of these was a parlour walk in punt on my way home one evening. It was my second of the day the first being a little mediocre.

This one didn't bode well either when the SP (with an air of disinterest) began rolling off a number of things she wouldn't do ... in particular that she wouldn't go on top!

Anyway 10 mins into a half hour punt it appeared I had pushed her buttons and all was good and an hour later we finished with her on top!

I duly reviewed highly positively only to discover from another member during the next week, that she had a whole string of negative reviews elsewhere under a different name. Given her attitude at the beginning of my meet I could understand this negativity.

However others could not accept that that negative aspect could be overcome and result in a positive. I was accused by some of giving her a false positive by some punters .. despite my somewhat glowing reputation as a reviewer  :D

These experiences and resultant clarity of the inherent flaws and limitations of reviews meant I adopted a far more relaxed nature to trying to over analyse the whole subject. As a consequence, I reduced my personal perception of how valuable my own reviews were to others and reduced the volume, though not long after I stopped punting completely.

As I said in my earlier post you need to chill out and enjoy your own punting and not become overly concerned about aspects of that of others. This has so many variables that the concept of 'structuring' (a subject close to my heart) proves highly difficult.

Reviews are a good indication, but never completely reliable. Memory is unreliable, and punters will overexaggerate how a session actually went (because its only their point of view). Don't take it all at face value and just enjoy. Its really not complicated.

I think the take away from this thread is that when consulting the OP’s vast back catalogue of reviews just read the detail and ignore the rating as he would seem to measure punts against some gold standard that exists only in his head. None of which is to demean his diligence and dedication to the cause of punting.

The rating should only be taken as a guideline really.

It's the content of the review which will reveal if she's for you or not.

Some punters see great OWO as a major part of a punt, some see DFK etc.

Some don't mind a WG not being that passionate in a punt etc whilst for others that would mean it's a neutral etc.

In response to the OP, I usually do a draft review within a day or two of the event while the memories are still recent. I then review and adjust that draft before posting. And I agree, that the passage of often time effects my recollection. However, it's not always rose tinted glasses immediately post punt. Occasionally I read my original draft and feel that I was being a bit harsh, realising that maybe they don't match-up to my favourites but they weren't that bad.

For positive reviews I usually wait about a month to post, but have waited upto 6 months if I have revisited the WG again or have plans to. For negative reviews I try to post ASAP. Definitely no more than a week upto a month for Neutral reviews.

Scanning back over my reviews I feel they are pretty balanced. Currently the majority are positives (+ve: 13, N: 5, -ve: 4). But the details of my reviews clearly explain why. Where I have been early to review I think my opinion has been supported by subsequent reviews. Plus, I haven't always followed the consensus for a few WG's.

Offline PatMacGroin

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

It's very hard to judge how much of the punting population are UKP members. I don't think there has ever been a survey asking men, "do you punt?". And if there was I don't think it would get a reliable result.

I'd like to point towards the maximum users to UKP quoted on the home page. A total of 41,713 UKP Members and visitors accessing the site, all at the same time of 11:06:32 pm on February 21, 2026. And then compare that to the 12,603 female Escort Service Providers currently listed on AW (with 1967 available today). But there's no real way to quantify those figures in conclusive ways.

I think the real question you are asking is, how much impact does a negative or positive review on UKP really have on any one WG. I think this snippet of an old comment I made covers it pretty well:


...

As an example the reviews for this WG Natalie have been viewed a total of over 56,000 times. In comparison her AW profile has been viewed just over 82,000 times. So her reviews on UKP are being viewed nearly 70% as much as her AW profile. That alone has to be a good example of market forces in action .

Finally, consider then, even if only 1% of the UKP views is converted into visiting punters any WG will still struggle to get through over 5,000 cocks, especially a part time girl like Natalie. So even a tiny percentage of punters influenced by UKP has to have an recognisable impact on their demand.

Do you still think UKP is a tiny insignificance?

A lot of punters pay for sex occasionally, so these punters would not join this site.

A lot of punters pay for sex in a spure of a moment thing or unplanned. These punters would not join this site.

A lot of punters may have special kinks such as bdsm or they stick to seeing one sp, so for these individuals they would not want to join this site I am guessing as they would not benefit as they only see one sp.

Most men do pay for sex but they are not honest about it. If a man goes to a club and pays for a lady drink for her then has sex with her, in effect he has paid for sex because if he didn't pay for that lady drink he would not have had sex with her.  :unknown:
I hope this is not too controversial to say  :scare:

The actual statistics which has been mentioned in sex work documentaries for a very long time now is that one in ten men would pay for sex at least once in their adult lives.  :hi:
