The truth about Recomendation

[Areez 11906]

In highlight of recent thread: http://www.cerb.ca/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=143465

I got to wonder; Yes I have heard it from multiple sources both hobbyist and provider. I am wondering about how important is recommendation to you?

 

Discuss - be anonymous and just vote on the poll if you wish.

 

Maybe I got it all wrong. I don't put too much value in recommendation - as it could be skewed. I make my decision on seeing a lady based on how we connected through chat/pm/her post. Not counting how many recommendation she have or when the last time she got one.

 

What about the rest of CERB?

I added the last two for the ladies that wishes to participate - how does having lots of recommendation helped you? Did it make your career take off? Is it that important? If we had a great time and I saw you again and again but never wrote a recommendation would you be disappointed?

 

(first time posting a poll... hope this work.)

[roamingguy 300292]

Well I have posted a recommendation, or two, or three or.....;-)

And that is because I had a good time with the lady, and the lady was the big reason I had such a good time.

Recommendations that I write are first and foremost, my way of giving a public thank you to the lady. The second and third reason are sort of interrelated. Second, a recommendation might help the lady's business because she might gain a client or two (or more) because someone read the recommendation. Third, for a gentleman looking for a lady to see, a recommendation might help in his decision.

Me, however, I do on occasion read recommendations, but really I chose who I'm going to see based on a lady's profile/postings/website/email/pm's back and forth. But I know recommendations can help both the lady and gentleman. So while I am not a user of recommendations myself, I am happy to write recommendations, it may help the lady and another gentleman in other encounters

One quick thing, a lack of recommendations is not a negative IMHO. One lady I saw, a great companion BTW, did not want any recommendations written due to some personal reasons, so I respected her request. It meant there were three recommendation worthy encounters I had but never posted about, but that doesn't mean the lack of recommendations made her a lady not to see, she was a lady a gentleman would have had a good time seeing

Hope that makes sense

Ultimately, while I like to look for a combination of things and make my own decisions, credibility has to play a huge role in recommendations. If many well respected people have posted good recommendations about someone, those recommendations are hard to ignore.

Thank you for your response in this - could you simplify it :b

I might be reading this the wrong way; but what you are saying is its more of who is posting the recommendation instead of how many recommendation is already posted?

Don't want to put you in the spot - but what about when you wanted to see provider 1 which has no recommendation, but saw there's a lot of recommendation for provider 2 which generate a little less interest for you originally. Would this change your decision then?

[Studio 110 by Sophia 150333]

It is not just the amount of recommendations that a lady has, but you also need to look at the constancy. That can tell you a lot about her style and quality of her service. And as mentioned, credibility of the author is sometimes qustioned...then again look at the constancy. There will never be a for sure way of catching every fake rec, or what have you, but I think this site does a good job at weeding through the junk.

This

I do feel comfortable when a provider has a certain number of recommendations. But when a lot of reviewers use similar sentiments, it provides a much better understanding.

 

 

Btw, regarding the poll, I'm assuming the second option means See a lady who has been reviewed, but not recently?

No problem at all Areez. Glad to respond. Just as it reads. I find it hard to ignore recommendations from well respected members. Nothing more or nothing less. Maybe short and sweet, but if you want me add, if a provider has no to little recommendations, or even recommendations from newbies, I hold nothing against that provider. Until I see massive red flags, I give equal chances. Hope that helps...

Sure thing, say if she had a slew of recommendation in the past and just haven't been getting any recently - would it make any difference to you.

For the sake of arguments all her recommendation in the past echoed the same excellent time she provided.

I just assumed when that happens that most of the people who normally leave reviews have already done so. And every so often, the odd guy might write up another review. I don't think a gap in reviews after a flurry in the beginning is any indication of something wrong.

[TiffanyXXX000 21415]

My take is that I enjoy seeing a new recommendation, I put all if myself into every encounter, I wear my heart on my sleeve and love to provide pleasure to my guests. Seeing them moved enough to put the feeling I left them with in writing just makes me smile. Although I do see many people on a semi to very regular basis that do not or have not written a recommendation for me. Although I know they are enjoying our time together they may be more private with what they feel comfortable sharing.

Others, sometime make me wonder.... From there reaction post session I know they have had a great time and yet no recommendation but will write one on others... Hey the way it goes. :)

I have had many guest tell me they have chose my services because of what others have said about my me.

Although there will always be the ups and downs of recommendations when reviews are not allowed, I still feel that if many say the same sentiments over and over again... You can feel pretty comfortable that the provider offers great service.

She's got no recommendation post; Does not affect any of my decision.

 

I go by PM's back and forth, posts that I see by the lady can certainly tell me if I would like to spend some time with her. Sometimes I go on a gut feeling, some call it the little voice inside which is usually correct 99.9% of the time.

 

When I see posts by long term Gentlemen say they've had maybe 5 or 6 not so good experiences who have been in the life style for many years, I think it is pretty safe to say at least on cerb that you are going to have a pleasant experience.

[Brad 49548]

Speaking for myself, I'd need to have an vote option where it says recommendations can be one of several factors in my decision to see a lady.

 

Much of what has attracted me to several ladies here are their posts and contributions. A lot of the ladies here have a wonderful history of thoughtful, witty, fun posts that I respect and enjoy. Others will communicate very via pm. For them, whether or not they have recommendations would barely matter to me at all.

 

Some ladies will have a detailed website and profile that can provide a pretty clear sense of her. For them, recommendations would be nice but I wouldn't say mandatory.

 

Still others don't contribute to the forums at all, don't have a website/detailed profile, etc. At that point, recommendations would become a much larger factor. Though honestly, even with recommendations, I can't say I've seen anyone that falls into this category.

 

So basically I'm a believer that there are a number of ways that a lady can catch my interest and make me feel confident about enjoying some time together, and it's the combination of them that is important. So while I do read the recommendations they are to my mind only one possible avenue, and not the most important one at that.

Recommendation and reviews, if they are good, will most likely help a girl.

Each time I personally get a new one, I do see the views on my website going up, more people looking up stuff on me...I will receive a few more inquires email.

 

On the other hand...I participate on some boards where reviews are allowed and I have some reviews on me that while they are really good...it's pretty much penthouse worthy. I actually found that the overly graphic reviews will push some people away from seeing me compare to the more toned down one.

I just assumed when that happens that most of the people who normally leave reviews have already done so. And every so often, the odd guy might write up another review. I don't think a gap in reviews after a flurry in the beginning is any indication of something wrong.

 

I have asked people who have written me many recommendations not to write any future ones because I didn't want the recommendations from them to look like shills. Maybe it's silly for me to think this way but I have heard the other board talking about how they think the recommendations here are shills. If my regulars wrote a review every time they saw me, I don't know if people would take their reviews seriously anymore. So I would have to agree with you Piano. This is a business where you want people to come back time and again. I don't think a gap in reviews should be anything to be concerned about.

 

I think that like anything else in life, do not let your opinions be formed with assumptions. Do your research, read the cowboy's diary and go with the lady that fits you the best. Even if she has no to very little recommendations or a gap in between recommendations. We all have to start somewhere. An escorts value in this industry is the service she provides. Recommendations may be a result of the escorts hard work and service but should not define who the escort is in the industry. Service may change at anytime for the better or worse and ymmv is always something you should consider. However, I would say base your decision on your individual experience with the escort and or how the escort presents herself/if the escort would be a good fit for you.

 

I think the only time you should be concerned is if you see a lot of bad reviews and the lady on the cowboys diary.

 

I love recommendations and I always appreciate when someone take the time to write something nice.

I agree Malika,

 

People will ask me what they should write. I just say, simply explain what your experience was like with me without going into graphic details. Putting more emphasis on how I made you feel, what was my location like, etc...

 

On another note, I get bothered when I see as comments " wow, that's cool" or " Nice rec" Even if it is a comment on my rec, or another lady. I feel that this makes others think someone is getting bumped on purpose for their own gain. I have even asked mod at times to remove these 3 word sentences from my reco thread, as I do not want people thinking I arranged it just to bump another ladies rec off of the top of the list.

 

Also, I had a rec done, which was nice and all. But the problem is this person seen me a year ago. This caused a problem for me, because I no longer am SP, I am now MA. I had not even heard of this fellow for a long time and didn't even remember is name. I PM him to ask why would he write that, as I do not remember him visiting me and certainly didn't offer GFE. He then explained he was just going threw the rec's and remembered what a nice time he had a year ago . Then I felt bad for questioning him, but he understood what a difficult position that put me in. He wasn't aware of the changes I had made in my services.

[Areez 11906]

Great feedback so far; thank you for the participation on this thread ;)

[IsaMassage 54318]

Off course I love seeing a recommendation written for me... But as said before I have many gentlemen that enjoy time with me in a regiular basis and decide not to do so... which is completely fine with me too...

Those who have met me know that I am there to please and make them have an unforgetable experience.. I always give 300% of me not just at the moment of our time together but also before and after an encounter...

Some send me thank you notes which makes me as happy as a recommendation...

Yes having recommendations help when you look at the business aspect.., and yes I have many people told me how much they enjoyed reading about my sessions and how that brough up the desire to meet and experience by themselves...

But at the end for me just knowing that we had a great time and seeing a smile makes my day and is what matters the most...

[piano8950 32577]

I'm still trying to figure out how these two:

 

She's got no recommendation post; Does not affect any of my decision.

[FOR THE LADIES] Recommendation has help me in my path.

 

Have the highest votes at the same time. It would seem that one contradicts the other

I thinks this is possible because we are only getting a small amount of votes (37 to the time I started writing this post.), factor in the guys that decided not to vote for option #1, even though they might do exactly just that.

And about the ladies - most of the ladies here have a recommendation about them written at one time or the other - hence it might have helped them in some way.

Honestly I kind of anticipated the skewed result; hope that clarify things a little for you.

I've receive PM from people that saw me in the past asking what I meant by penthouse worthy.

I am more than fine if you say that my BJ are good or I am a good kisser or reacting strongly to daty. No problems with that...

 

But I have reviews on other boards that pretty much describe how tight I am, the ribbing of my lady parts, the mole I have on my armpit...that's a bit much

[Guest *l**e]

Interesting topic. I may be unique in this because I'm a guy.

 

I found when I had reco's on here, while the ladies may have enjoyed reading them, most of the ladies booked me based on word of mouth, not the reco's. Now that all my reco's have been removed (a result of a rule change here), I have seen no reduction in bookings at all.

 

AS for what I would look for in reading a lady's recos'; I think how "good a time" someone has is totally unique to the chemistry between the sp and the client. I am not looking at the reco so much to see how favorably the client perceived the encounter, but more to get an idea of the mood/temperment/style of the lady and maybe to know some details of options offered that may not be specified in an ad (i.e. does she kiss)

 

I like the ability to have and read recos here, but honestly, I don't read them very often.

[Eric Northman 16522]

I guess I don't put a huge amount of stock into recos although I usually will read them if I'm thinking of seeing someone I haven't seen before. That being said, I would consider no recos for a provider who isn't new to be a red flag. If you've been around for a few months or more, I would imagine SOMEONE must have had something nice to say right?

[halifaxguy1984 217]

I'm pretty new to being a hobbyist, but I've seen a handful of ladies and checked recos for all of them. I don't put 100% stock in them, but they certainly help me narrow my choices down. When I'm looking at BP I look for someone who has TOFTT to make sure it's not a bait and switch; if I'm booking with someone on CERB I'm generally more comfortable to just book and not worry about reading all the recos.

 

Just my couple pennies.

[Midnite-Energies 110563]

I've had many people comment they heard good things or read my reco's and this is when I appreciate them because it has helped someone make a decision. I enjoy knowing about our time together from the other side as well.

 

I believe reco's, like many things, are "to each their own". Some enjoy writing/reading and others do not. I appreciate everyone who takes a moment to create one but it doesn't taint my thoughts or memory about someone if they chose not to. As Brad said, this is merely one avenue available for interested parties to research. Thankfully CERB has many avenues available to its members so you can utilize as much or as little as you feel necessary. As a tool, it's wonderful. As recognition, it can be lovely.

[PistolPete 61421]

I have so much to say about this subject, but it is late and tomorrow is hump day :) I will take time to reflect on what I would like to say about recommendations, and will post at later time.
