Expectations that might effect the validity of a review for some.

[MrKeen]

I am a real newbie. I have posted some reviews and read a lot more. My point is this. I am 64 years old. My expectation of a good meet are an hour or erotic fun with a happy ending either by penetration or in other ways, I really enjoy OWO, but am not interested in anal, can't do CIM due to the side effects of an operation. If I can spend an hour with  a cheerful  willing girl who takes the time to find and use my hot buttons and I leave feeling on a high and looking forward to the next time I am happy. I do really enjoy it when a girl explores and introduces me to something I have never experienced.
My reviews are bound to be coloured by this. I can supply factual info on: correct girl, comms, location, parking. Relative aspects such as ambience, attractivness, attitude etc. but many of the users of this site are wanting far more exotic and adventious actvities, and follow up looking for this information.
Should reviews all have a little statement at the start to give readers a heads up on what the reviewer was looking for?

I have thought about his too (as I am in a similar position to you - newbie, a bit younger, but with certain 'limitations')

Consequently, what I expect from a meet are different from a lot of reviews I have read, and the limited reviews I have done so far, I feel the need to spend a lot of time justifying statements.

I have thought of putting up a 'profile' of myself, with my lengthy likes&dislikes (e.g. cannot be arsed to find the definition for GFE/PSE/whatever and have my own term, Fun&Fuck F&F)
and somehow tack this onto a review, in the form of a link.

I am happy the way reviews are now, basically up to the reviewer to decide what to put. As ever if admin wishes to change anything he has my full support.

[RedKettle]

Generally I think it becomes clear from reading a review, or perhaps several by the same person, as to what sort of punt they like.  Especially on the regional boards you get to know what certain people are after and whether that is like yourself.

[DickDiver]

No genuine punter has to justify their punts, gents. Review honestly and rate according to how you feel it was. It's your review - if you spend ages justifying it the browsing punter will probably dismiss it as not totally straight up.

I think that as long as you're honest and clear - it's a useful review.

Likes/dislikes etc are all subjective - some people like a sloppy deep French kiss and others don't so it would be a minefield to try and do all  that.
If anyone has questions, they'll ask!

Welcome to the world of punting (you've been here a short while) may you enjoy your time here!

On a side note - feel free to ignore if you don't want to answer - are you able to say a bit about why you can't cim?

[seward]

OP your reviews are as valid as anybody else's, as long as it's an honest appraisal of the meet there's no problem it's your punt and whatever you like is the most important thing, as you said things change with age, and some of the younger reviewers like PSE, which is OK for them, but as you age the mind plays a greater part and a gentle erotic sensual experience can be a very satisfying and fulfilling time it's totally your choice it's a very subjective thing,and as you stated your age plays a part, and I think it's great that your still enjoying punting and more power to you, so no worries just carry on and enjoy. I speak as another older punter and still enjoy a punt for me no one else,  hope that helps a little just enjoy

Agree with this.

I wasn't worried about justifying myself, rather not misleading others. What made me think about it was a punt I went on yesterday.  The girl involved has had some iffy reviews and some comment as to her veracity, but I went anyway. It turned into one of the most enjoyable hours I have had for a long time. It was mostly vanilla, relaxing making love to a lovely girl. I will post review shortly, but I certainly did not test this girl on all she promises in her profile.

[shagbambi]

I find that WG's, like punters, are different. Some are good at specific scenarios, or specific client needs. It is rare to find one that is all things to all people. Also each punter values different parts of the punt differently. As has been said you will get a feel after a while which punters are similar to you and it will be their reviews that you will value most. Either way just enjoy your punts!

[JW.Bobbitt]

Possibly I did use the wrong word. Explaining might be better - but it is all irrelevant, thanks to kind words of the other responders to this thread. I will just stick to the basic brutal honesty and answer all queries

It is astonishing the similarities we have.
I was 'introduced/pointed to' this site by a WG, that I saw twice in the same week (that shows how much I enjoyed it), who has had some very poor reviews here and (I think) was banned.
She did  not seem resentful and had merely questioned whether I had seen UKP., which naturally stirred my curiosity

I might just follow your lead and post a review of these (pre-UKP) meets.

[nigel4498]

Not exactly, she's lovely to you because she wants your money and the reality is that you are just fucking a whore.

Yes this is certainly my experience, I find it REALLY useful to read reviews good or bad from punters I know, trust and/or respect, and on the other hand I know whose reviews are of zero interest to me if they are established posters.

Another facet about reviews is some punters like doing reviews and giving blow by blow accounts of what went on and on here they can do so as they like. I personally don't like doing reviews, I do them in the hope they might help others, but I mainly stick to factual information and keep things short nowadays. But the choice the punter has is an excellent option UKP offers, plus reviews on here are of course inter-active so others can ask questions and scrutinize as they wish, and it HAS been the case that scrutiny has uncovered many false reviews over the years, done by the WG herself or her pimp as examples.

[MrKeen]

Might be worth a thread on General thread.  I have had a TURP operation.  I think it would be useful if I put ssomething in the general info thread as I wish I had known more prior to agreeing.

[RedKettle]

Just reflecting on this some more and I do think some punters push too much responsibility on the reviewer - they seem to assume that somebody saying that they had a good time should automatically mean that anyone will.  That is not the nature of a review - we all want different things from the girls.

The assumption should be that the review means that the girl performed how that person wanted them to.  You need to take a wider view to see whether the girl is likely to please you.  This is easy where there are lots of reviews but if only one then you need to do more research, especially on the reviewer - has he done other reviews and on what sorts of girls.

However even a single review I think has much merit - it is a strong indicator that the girl is genuine and you are less likely to get scammed/ripped off.

You cannot have expectations that good reviews mean you must get a good time.

[Arley Hall]

I can relate to to this. I'm a similar age to you, though not a newbie to punting. (I've been doing it since I was in my 20s.) Like you, I've considered putting a standard paragraph in all my reviews explaining what kind of person I am. (TBH I wasn't that much different, even when I was younger - and there was no internet porn in my formative years!) I haven't actually done that yet, but have often felt the need to justify/clarify so that my review doesn't mislead somebody with a completely different mindset. However, as others have said, people get to know you on the local boards, so they will hopefully take into account your personal traits when reading your reviews.

My style is just to go with the flow and see what happens in a punt. That way I know that the girl is comfortable with whatever we do. I wouldn't enjoy it if that wasn't the case. I never make any demands - at least not for any service that might be considered 'discretionary'. I'm not really service-orientated anyway - the important things for me are that I find the girl attractive, and she has a good attitude (preferably compliant and easy-going). It may be that I'm not getting services that more assertive punters might get - so my reviews could be misleading in that respect. Also I'm rating punts as positive that won't necessarily tick all the boxes for a more service-orientated punter - simply based on the fact that I came away happy.

[seward]

However you write your review it's still your review, and you won't mislead anyone, if they want more services they'll usually dig about until they find what they want. Your reviews would be very useful to punters with similar tastes to yourself, it always comes down to "one's man's meat etc" and the more gentle tastes still have validity and worth, any input and contribution is always valuable on a punting forum.

If I can spend an hour with  a cheerful  willing girl who takes the time to find and use my hot buttons and I leave feeling on a high and looking forward to the next time I am happy....

Mr K., welcome to the fold. Are you my long lost twin? - we seem to have so much in common.
I too have to qualify my opinions with warning about different level of expectations/demands than the younger punters on here.

Just read all your reviews. Felt your pain, but hope you don't mind me smiling at some of your 'adventures' in Rumania. Have been on such a similar journey myself. IMHO your info is essential and a great service.

If the young Lochinvars see no value in our comments, they are welcome to pass us by. Good luck to them. Sadly swinging from the chandeliers was never in my repertoire even in my salad days.
Please keep reviewing on here.
Old Age Punters for ever!

Yes another good point. Not happened on here yet but after I did a review and rated a WG on another punting forum I had a PM from a punter who said he had punted with her and didn't rate her and I owed him the cost of his punt. Off was the second word of my reply.

A review is NOT a guarantee obviously, or obviously to people with half a brain cell, its one punters view of a punt at the time of the punt, other punters either find it helpful to them or not as they wish.

RedK, a similar effect happens when you post negs of previously well reviewed WGs on here.
You already feel like you have let the recommenders down (and yourself ofc), but replies repeating that they had a good time and hinting that the blame lies with you, not the WG, are especially discouraging. 

 

[MrKeen]

Not exactly, she's lovely to you because she wants your money and the reality is that you are just fucking a whore.

I do get that, but like any service you pay for there are those that supply the service in way that whatver they are thinking, give the impression that they are interested in you and your satisfaction, and those who make it very obvious that they are only doing it for money. Down to one of my "A"'s Attitude.  In my short time I have come accross the whole range some girls are enthusiatic some dead from the neck down. 

[Rod trotter]

Its your review

It was youre time

If your paying for a service, you deserve that service without feeling it's not up to standard , it's not you it's the WG not providing her side of the contract, and should get a negative review! I always take notice of the one review that is either negative or neutral on these very popular WGs, it can say alot about the service I'm going to get if I should book them, just because it's a lone voice doesn't by any means say it's wrong.

You may feel like that, I certainly don't, my review is MY experience of the WG good or bad, I haven't let anyone down by being honest, if anyone else has a problem I know its THEIR problem not mine. If it were me versus everyone else bring it on, my view wouldn't be changed.

However, I have seen some punters getting attacked by white knight fanboys for daring to do a negative review on one of their loved ones. These fanboys are attempting to undermine UKP in my view, and fortunately admin has banned a number of the worse ones like unclesnideheart whose response to a long term punters negative on a WG he rated was to post sly digs at him and then write a love letter to the WG which he called a review, admin didn't agree it was one.

[RedKettle]

I did write a positive review on one girl where I had a really good time - then another punter shagged her on my recommendation and did not enjoy her and gave a negative.  I felt dreadful as I blamed myself.  (To be fair he did not have a go at me.)

Now toughened up and realised all I can do is give my honest view.

Many people here have subtle or big differences in taste which makes multiple reviews important for many, personally I prefer reviews from punters i have identified as having similar taste to me !

[pking_paul]

Good thread OP, thank for posting it. I'd started to outline my likes at the beginning of my reviews but sure enough I got sniped by those who were looking for something else. It bothered me when I first came on here, but for various reasons, came to realise that others like me were out there (though maybe a little quiet most of the time and not feeling able to comment).

I'm not a regular punter like many on here, but recent events on another thread made me realise the disparity between some of the posters and what was actually happening 'in the field'. Bottom line is that it is a community who share one particular interest, but not all the variations that can be had.

If you are happy, and you enjoy, then that's what a great review should be! Thanks again for starting this thread.

[Deanomarco]

I have to agree with many of the posts above, everyone wants something different from a punt and as long as you're clear about what you thought was good (or bad) then people can make their own mind up. I've read a couple of positive reviews of girls I was keen to see that have changed my mind and put me off.
