Escort Reviews Policy

[TampaYankee]

I have grown weary of writing the same responses over and over to contributors sending inadequate reviews. In response the following policy will be posted for guidance. A page link will be established. If you wish to comment then please do so. I promise to read but no promises about incorporating suggestions.

MER Escort Reviews Policy

At MaleEscortReview our policy is that reviews are written by clients for clients. As a review site our primary responsbilility is to provide prospective clients with reviews that help them make informed selections of escorts that are professional, reliable, and most importantly compatible with client interests and desires.

In most cases reviews also benefit escorts. It helps to facilitate them securing a match with compatible clients. That makes the engagement successful for both the client and the escort. This translates to satisified clients and repeat business and/or additional positive recommendations for the escort.

However, reviews are not intended as PR or advertisements for escorts. That is not the basis for accepting reviews. We provide escorts with free profile listings so that they can advertise and describe their services in their own words, uncolored and unfiltered through the eyes of a client.

Escorts may not review themselves.

Escorts may not be reviewed by other escorts, friends or acquaintances.

Escorts may only be reviewed by actual clients that have paid the usual and customary fee for service.

Only one review per escort per client per year unless some drastic change in the experience occurred.

Escort reviews are accepted at the discretion of the Management. The Management may request the reviewer to provide clarification or additional information before accepting a review.

What is a review?

Some definitions:

Recommendation: An endorsement; adivorsy opinion.

Review: a general survey; critical evaluation; retrospective view.[/bf] Involves citing facts and events.

Reviews that consist of little more than a recommendation will not be accepted. A recommendation is NOT a review. It is part of a critical evaluation review but only a part, inadequate on its own.

A required part of the review is a critical evaluation of the 'Experience'. Why?

Interests and preferences are varied among clients. It is not reasonable to expect that one client's satisfaction with an escort will translate universally to all clients. Hence endorsements not substantiated by factual experiences are of little value to the wide range of clients. Thus the need for specific information about that experience relating to client expectations and escort peformance in providing satisfaction.

The review should reflect the experience -- no more, no less.

Write the 'Experience' to reflect your actual experience and only your experience. If your engagement is limited to massage and dinner then write about your massage and dinner. Don't elaborate in detail about what you 'understand' about his other services. Conversely, if you imply an experience broader than you actually describe on a factual basis then your review will be taliored to the reported experience facts. For example if you hire for an intimate weekend and only write about the how great the escort was as a travel companion then expect to see your review reassigned from 'Escort, Companioin' to 'Travel, Companion'.

The scope of the review must match the actual experience described. We want to know what you experienced not what you only hint at.

The Experience Specifics

The specifics must be detailed sufficiently for prospective clients to make a judgement about whether their interests and perferences are likely to be shared by the escort and whether the performance is likely to provide satisfaction. Details need not be lurid or salacious but minimally a recitation of facts and performance assessment. Such expressions as [em]"details shall remain between us"[/em] or [em]"I don't kiss and tell"[/em], or other expressions that only hint at the experience do not meet the basic requirement for a review, in whole or in part.

Many escorts have web pages advertising their services. Many manage to describe their services in a forthright manor without being lurid. (An absence of some service detail is often viewed as a red flag.) Reviews should be no less descriptive about the experience. Successful reviewers should be as forthcoming about the experience for the benefit of fellow clients.

A word about reviews submitted for escorts with multiple prior reviews.

Sometimes we recieve a review in which the client says he has nothing to add to the previous reviews. Then please do not submit a review.

Often we are asked to read previous reviews for details. Which reviews? Which details? These ambiguous references amount to asking the reader to assemble the review for himself. This provides no new information and obscures which previous information actually applies to this experience. If you wish to submit a review then write about your experience. Leave it to the reader to decide if it is the same as any, some or all of the previous reviews.

Prospective clients find helpful updated information in the form of more recent reviews, even if the same excellent perfomance is being lauded. But they want to know specifically about that performance in the context of your setting, preferences, experience and 'client type'. Reviews are encouraged but the reviewer must write an actual review of his experience with his details.

No Shows

No show experiences are disrespectful, frustrating, inconvenient, and upsetting. However, unless money or an airfare has been fronted prior to the engagement, or nonrefundable hotel room charges incurred, it is not a reviewable engagement. No meeting took place and no loss was incurred other than time and enthusiasm. In addtion, failure to make contact or settle on an agreement is not a reviewable event. No meeting means no performance to review. Thus it is not reviewable.

A no-show review will be accepted upon proof of loss incurred based on a good faith agreement. That means money or a nonrefundable airline ticket is tendered up front, or hotel charges have been incurred. Proof of 1) a confirmed agreement and 2) the monetary loss must be provided.

(It is strongly recommended that no money be tenered by client to escort up front unless you know the escort personally from previous first-hand experience. Airfare is a legitimate upfront expenditure, recognizing that it is put at some risk of loss due to a no-show. It is only reasonable that the client assumes a reasonable airfare risk if he asks an escort to travel to him. It is a measure of earnestness that is reasonable for an escort to ask. This is the risk a client pays to fly an escort to him. Do not do this if you cannot afford the loss. It is advisable to provide nonrefundable e-tickets only, in order to avoid scams based on cashing in refundable tickets. )

Why Information About the Reviewer?

Not every escort is a match for every client. Some escorts have limitations with respect to age, race or body type. Kissing or conversation or an engaging escort personality isn't important to every client but is important to others. These attributes and preferences will influence the client perspective of escort performance and color the client review, as is to be expected. Prospective clients need to know those reviewer attributes and preferences so they can judge how relevant the experience is to them.

Please include a brief physical description, minimally: race, approximate age, body type, and tell us about your interests, preferences, and expectations for the escort and the engagement. Keep it simple, short and informative.

We, The Management, appreciate that it takes some effort to compose a focused informative review. However, it is necessary if we clients seek focused information to help us select an escort for a successful enagagement. Escorts are not inexpensive, however, they are worthwhile if they are professional, reliable and compatible and provide a satisfactory experience.

We clients all are in this together. We help other clients in order to help oursleves. Over the long run our own efforts come back to us ten fold in benefits. Acting together we raise the probability of our successes. Acting individually we succeed or fail by our own wits and guesses.

A secondary benefit is that the good escorts shine and get that notice in front of the community.

[Guest RR]

Sounds great to me! I will do my best to follow the posting guidelines so we can make the information as helpful as possible for the community.

[TownsendPLocke]

If I might suggest getting rid of some of the questions in the review form which unless one goes in with a preprinted questionaire one would have no way of knowing-and thus one is forced to guess.

I have no interest in whether a guy"parties"or not-and I will not ask him such a question.The same for a lot of questions on the form.If the guy is high I will mention that in the review,the same goes for drinking,smoking,social outlook or sexual orientation.If the guy is "straight"and sucks my dick-great,if the is"gay"and does nothing but lie back(as has happned many a time)you better belive I will mention that-but I won't pry into their personal stuff.If they voulenteer it-well then it is out in the open-If they don't-again I would have to guess on the review form.

Also I feel that the safer sex question is misworded and might give other clients a feeling of being "safe"when there is no basis for this.

As far as the personal info I usually either check past reviews or the escorts listing-if it jives with what I have experienced then that is what I will put down.

[Guest StuCotts]

As I recall, only the questions with asterisks require to be answered for the review to be considered for posting. The ones about partying, etc. don't require to be answered, so I don't answer them, and haven't had a problem yet.

Note to TY: Good luck with the policy. I'd be grateful if every prospective reviewer would take to heart the part about actually giving useful information.

[Guest StuCotts]

Your well-taken point about escorts' "limitations with respect to age, race or body type" reminded me of a strange contact I made once that gave me a good laugh. I was frank with an escort, as I always am, about my physique and age. He came back with his requirements, as is his right. I concluded that if I met all his standards, not only would I not need to pay for sex, but I would look better than the escort. I suppose lots of people have a similar story to tell, or you wouldn't have included that point in your policy statement.

[KYTOP]

Thanks for letting us know where you are coming from in review expectations.

A couple of comments: I have a mixed reaction to the "No show" policy. I completely undertsand your comments but there are a few escoorts that are notorious for "No shows" and reviews of them can keep some of us from wasting our time. I had a no show in Indianapolis a few years ago and then found out by a thread in the message center of HB that he had several all with the same excuse. Also I had a well reviewed escort no show, but accpeted his excuse. Then a few months later someone else posted a no show on him with the same exact excuse, which involved a car accident with the same detailed injuries. Seems he was using the excuse often from other comments made. We will not know the chronic no showers without a little help from the clients telling of such incidents.

As for only 1 review per year from the same client for the same escort, unless drastic change in occurance. I assume that if a client posts a not so favorable review and then he posts a favorable one because the escort made up for the clients discontent would apply? Or a No show with money/airfare involved where they actually end up meeting at some date?

Thanks for all you do and the time you've put into this site. Also thanks very much for Oz and yourself both seeking input from your readers.

Your most welcome. I know it goes against a long established trend, but I see no reason to keep our expectations secret from the contributors and the readers. It is only fair that everyone knows the ground rules. That way we can reassure everyone that the same rules apply to all.

I agree that egregious cases deserve light. I'm just not sure the best way to achieve that.

It is easy for someone to report a no-show for spite or harassment. Most of the complaints I get are from completely anonymous members i.e. no previous review track record, no forum participation, etc. Usually, the member signed up the day of the complaint. That is neither good nor bad, just a total unknown. I have had some guys submit fictitious negative reviews simply because they couldn't contact or reach agreement with the escort. The potential for abuse seems high. Reputable escorts can be slimed easily with a simple short no-show comment by someone with an axe to grind.

How does this reputable escort refute the charge? Seeking confirmation of these amorphous no-show events seems more difficult than reviews for concrete engagements. Asking an escort to comment on a no show is not likely to be very informative -- " I don't know anything about this. I always keep confirmed engagements." " The client never confirmed his appointment." "Who is this guy? Never heard of him?

Requiring proof of a no-show with monetary loss puts the event on a factual playing field not readily denied. And these irresponsible acts are either a scam or the next closest thing IMO. They really derserve light.

Also, I suspect the occurrence of no shows on any given weekend is not insignificant. I would hate to see the meaty reviews buried in a morass of no-show reviews. How many AOL or craigslist escorts fail to show? I have pondered the idea of a separate No Show database.

I am sympathetic to no-show complaints. Years ago, my third review was a no show. I was pissed as he failed to show three days in a row over a long weekend. I was a newbie, what can I say. I managed to fill my dance card anyway thanks to guys who were responsive with an hour notice.

I have not closed the door on reporting no shows. Clearly, there is a need to expose the recidivists. I'm just not sure the best and fair way to do it. Until some more appropriate way is determined, The Buffet seems an effective way to inform the community.

drastic change of occurrence == reversal of fortune

Your examples apply.

Thanks for the good words.

It seems only appropriate that, because we offer the site as a service to our members, we ask their input. True, we have dreams of a modest income some day. But that takes satisfied members.

We also have a mission to carry on the essence of a tradition started by HooBoy and improve upon it in modest ways if we can.

We are not in a position to demand nor do we desire a 'take it or leave it' attitude on the part of management. Our Business Model requires satisified customers: free or future premium members. We appreciate that our customers have other options available to them.

At the same time, we cannot be responsive to all inputs due to any of a multitude of reasons -- mission goals, implementation cost, breadth of applicability to member base, etc. Also we do take notice of some suggestions that are put in a queue that may take some time to get to as our priorities are dynamic. This translates to several pots on the back burner.

Thanks for your comments. Always appreciated.

TY

[Guest epigonos]

Frankly IMO you are handling the no-show appointments correctly. Allowing no-show reviews opens an pandora's box that best remains closed. GOOD JOB GUYS!!!!

[Guest newatthis]

TY -

I too find no shows -- the garden variety, that cost me only time and aggravation-- something highly worth flagging. They are especially frustrating when they happen on a trip when I have no flexibility to book someone else.

Here's the germ of an idea.

Why not have a special section and/or format for no shows? Something that is quick, maybe just the escort's name, the date, and some very minimal recitation of circumstances (you could have a word limit, or direct the submission through questions). For fairness' sake, escorts would have the possibility of making a similarly minimal response.

This would give clients some warning, especially if there are multiple reports on an escort, without getting into "he said, she said".

There are lots of possible refinements. You might want to limit such reports to registered members, or to those who have posted reviews or have a certain number of posts in the forums. You might want to allow such reports to expire after a certain number of years.

Since clients will not want to search 2 lists, there could be a link under the name of reviewed escorts with no show reports along the lines of "there are no show reports on this escort".

[Guest newatthis]

Bravo! If this policy is enforced (by turning away reviews that don't conform), it will make MER a very useful site.

[Guest PWIT]

Sounds like a good compromise. Anyone see downfalls? TY & OZ, would this be hard to implement or maintain?

I have mulled this idea over before. I have not dismissed it but it is only one of the issues. Another: Is there reliable and fair way to vett the no-show reports?

>This would give clients some warning, especially if there are

>

The problem, as I see it, is that most escort responses to fair or fictitious complaints are likely to be the same or similar. (see above) A one dimensional issue generates a limited range of responses. There will be a natrual bias to go with the guy you know, be it client or escort. That is not fair to those who are unknown just because they are unknown. Unvetted announcements are no better than scribblings on a bathroom stall wall -- some truth to protect, some bull to do harm.

>There are lots of possible refinements. You might want to

>limit such reports to registered members, or to those who have

>forums.

Anything posted on this site must be by a registered member. That will always be the case. However, that doesn't stop people registering for the sole purpose of contributing an annoucnement. That, in itself is no vetting.

The other comments have merit. I like the idea of limiting to contributing reviewers. Posters would be fine too but I suspect that implmenting that interface would be probelmatic.

You might want to allow such reports to expire after

>a certain number of years.

I agree that an expiry date is essential.

>Since clients will not want to search 2 lists, there could be

>a link under the name of reviewed escorts with no show reports

>along the lines of "there are no no-show reports on this

>escort".

A separate list would be necessary, otherwise announcements would be limited to reviewed escorts. As for a status note on reviews, that would be nice.

My bottom line is concerns about reliable vetting, fairness and practical software issues: development and maintenance.

I have more comments on this subject that I will post in response to KYTop's post which brought the subject up.

[TampaYankee]

[em]KYTOP, I am responding more on this issue here because you originally raised the No-Show discussion and I wanted to move these comments out of the bowels of this thread. This is not a response to any specifics you posted only to the topic in general. [/em]

What is the purpose of a no-loss No-Show report? Venting? Punishment? Identifying a chronic abuser?

I suspect deep down all apply at some level. However, venting and punishment do nothing for the community at large. If our mission is to support the community then we are left with the third purpose? In addition, this distinction is likely, I believe, to filter out the would-be client abusers or escort competition who seek to slime an escort for whatever reason.

Identifying chronic abusers, i.e. recidivists, can be accomplished by posting No-Shows for an escort only after it appears there is a repeating problem.

For example, if an escort receives two complaints in one month or three in six months then his no-shows would be posted, with specifics. A six-month-period free of complaints would wipe the slate clean. This amounts to escorts vetting their own performance. There may still be potential for abuse but less so I think.

This idea attempts to address the fairness and reliability issue -- very important to me. It is food for thought and fodder for discussion. And it is only one aspect to address.

Implementation issues have to be addressed as well. Some of those have been discussed elsewhere (see newatthis) if not exhaustively. One not raised is the issue of identifying escorts correctly.

Often reviewers post escorts under different names or different spellings of a name. Just as escorts change names to 'lose' negative reviews, they will change names to lose no-show reports. Not a deal breaker, just a horsefly in the ointment.

In summary, the present policy is stated in the opening post. The door wasn't closed to implementing no-loss no-shows down the road if certain issues could be resolved satisfactorily. It has been simmering on the back burner. This thread has generated discussion and ideas that perhaps move the ball down the field. (Sorry for the mixed metaphor.)

[Guest newatthis]

TY --

Many of the issues you raise are also issues concerning reviews. Perhaps the solutions you've found in that case would work also in this one.

No process we can invent is going to be 100% fair in all circumstances. But the same is true of the reviews, and I think the no-show problem is prevalent enough and frustrating enough to have some imperfect process in place. I imagine that, in fact, there is a point with reviews beyond which you can't check and have to just leave "the marketplace" to sort things out.

This discussion is likely to converge on a 90% fair process pretty quickly. Then you can implement what is implementable within your software limitations, and tweak it in the light of experience.

Good luck!

[Guest StuCotts]

TY -- Sensible. However you choose to deal with this very real problem, I do hope you will finally deal with it. I say that in full realization of what work it will take to impose some sort of order or reason on any aspect of the chaotic free-for-all that is the escort business now.

[TampaYankee]

FWIW, please keep in mind that we operate in a gray area with respect to society. With that comes increased risk for disappointment and loss. Nothing we do can eliminate that.

>No process we can invent is going to be 100% fair in all

>circumstances. ... I think the no-show problem is prevalent enough

>and frustrating enough to have some imperfect process in place.

I suspect that 'frustration' carries more wieght than does 'prevalence' in your reaction. It does in mine. I don't have to suffer too many no shows before I get really frustrated -- like one!!

As for prevalence, it is my impression that the average active escort is likely to suffer more no-show clients in a month than your active client will suffer in a year. This phenomenon plagues both sides of the house. The escorts have little recourse -- that's the price of doing business. Not only the price but sometimes the loss, because there are instances when they could have booked with someone else. As I mentioned earlier clients suffer only a loss of time and enthusiasm.

[Guest StuCotts]

Granted. But anything you can do within the limitations of the power of an observer and tabulator will be a fitting, salutary and welcome step in the right direction. I don't plan to abandon all hope on this.

Is there one of these damn smilies that signifies wistful hopefulness tinged with pathos? If so, picture it prominently featured in this post.

[Guest epigonos]

I find this whole issue of no-show reviews fascinating. I have now been hiring escorts for five years. During that period I have hired dozens of escorts from Vancouver to Tampa and from New York to San Diego and have NEVER suffered a no-show. Now I will readily admit that I hire only established escorts who have numerous positive reviews on this site and one other.

My chief concern about no-show reviews is that if, for any number of reasons, some individual gets pissed at an established, well reviewed, escort it will be far easier for him or her to write a no-show review than a standard negative review. Once the no-show review is posted the only response open to the escort is "No I wasn't a no-show". In a regular negative review there are usually multiple facts and accusations that the escort may address NO SO with a no-show review.

[BigK]

No-show reviews are valuable from credible reviewers. False attempts should be filtered during the review validation phase.

I have only experienced 2 no-shows over the years and felt both times that a review is a responsibility to my fellow reviewers.

Let the escort respond like they can do now anyway. Trust most of us to draw our own conclusions.

No-show reviews are the most valuable in my estimation. I really don't understand your reluctance to post them.

I have had 2 no-shows by "established escorts" with multiple reviews. I accepted their stories and did not try to write a review. To find out later that they had used the SAME story with others and that NO Shows were not uncommon with them. One of them cost me airfare from LA to Chicago. Ever stood at an airport waiting for someone and they not show or call until 2 hours AFTER their plane was due in. It stung abit more than just waiting at the Hotel for them to show up. I think they both have now retired. Seems one the the guys always told the client he was in a car wreck and that was the reason for the no-show and not calling. I bought it and so did 2 other people he no-showed later that I am aware of.

I am awed at the mellowness of your nature. You are truly a Southern Gentleman, even when seething underneath.

Your instance would have been accepted under present policy because it involved a loss. However, that horse is out of the gate.

The reasons I remark are:

1) my first comment about your nature and

2) to respond more generally that this thread has prompted some thought and exchange of ideas that gives me the germ of a concept that broadens the current policy. Details remain to be mulled.

[Guest jackhammer91406]

TY

I haven't contributed in a while so I hope that I am not out of line in responding to this thread.

I have had only one no show event and it came early in my hiring days. I was on a trip to Atlanta and it was either the second or third time I had hired an escort. I used the resources available at the time to ferret out who I would be interested in and who were escorts that probably couldn't be relied on. I was amazed at the resources available and the sharing of knowledge and experience. This was at the old Hooboy site of course. At that time, Hooboy also maintained a no show list. (something he let slide right around the time of my story when he refused to put the escort mentioned below on that list).

I hired three times on that trip. the first was Tony Cummings and I had a great time and have regretted that our paths never crossed again. I subsequently wrote a review of the encounter.

The next night I had scheduled another escort who had been reviewed and had one bad review. The escort had written a response in which he took responsibility for the encounter and seemed genuine in his regrets. I should have paid attention to the initial bad review because if anything my experience was worse than the one written about.

The third appointment was with another reviewed escort. The review described his playful nature but in retrospect,the subtext was that he may have been experimenting with party drugs. I arranged the appointment and had numerous contacts by phone and mail with the guy. He had phone numbers and room numbers for me. Being my first experience with an escort who never showed up, I guess it took me longer than normal to come to the realization that he wasn't coming . I made numerous calls and sent a number of emails.

I never heard from him until he got a copy of my no show review.

After he emailed me and after several email exchanges in which he apologized for what he called his screw-up, the guy took some of what I said in my emails, put it in a different context and then used it as his rebuttal to the review and made it sound like I had canceled the appointment myself, complaining that I was trying to malign his character and reliability. It was hard for me then and still is even today to believe that people lie. sometimes they just flat out lie. Never being raised this way, I just always assumed that everyone was honest. Even today I am always amazed when people will prevaricate and dissemble , talking behind someone's back, all the while pointing the finger in another direction and blaming others when they get their fingers caught in the cog of truth. DUH.

This guy in question went on to try to start a porn career and at one point was part of a well known set of party boys who had more fame as party boys than as escorts or porn stars. His bouts with drug abuse also became well known. He even had a gossip column/ fan board at one time on another website, I forget the name but it began with a D I think. So I guess I am saying that at the time I was hiring, I would have appreciated a heads up about this kid and would have not wasted my last night in Georgia.

Please consider at least a list of reported no shows. Then let the reader decide for himself the value of the list in conjunction with the posted reviews.
