Be wary of identical phrasing in multiple reviews. This could be another indication that the reviews aren't real. For example, if you see multiple reviews from different users but they all use the phrase "Wow, this product changed my life!" they may not be genuine. https://www.consumerreports.org/mone...s-a1345282053/
Exactly. But throughout all of these recent reviews of this type, would it be possible that the ones giving these type of reviews on here are the providers themselves under a different screen name?
I mean like having an account that started in October and to have 11 posts - 10 of which involve the same provider? It's kinda sus to me. Especially seeing as the provider had recent issues with others about "not real" photos and saying she was done here. Hmmmm.
I think the concern is the flood of similar-sounding praise for H, C and L from people that seem to focus their posts on these providers. And then review posts that sound so vague that they almost belong in the Massage forum.
As noted earlier, if you don't want to post details, either offer to respond to PMs, or just don't post at all.

There is a certain angry element on this board that has been reviewing reviews with much more energy than they have been reviewing providers.
Are you not reporting those posts? There is a sure and certain way to shut them down. You report them, I throw a flag, they do it again, I throw another flag and put them on moderation. Reviewing reviews is not allowed on this forum, many of the guys doing it are unmoderated senior members who's posts are not seen by us.
Report the post, put the person who did it on ignore and move on.
While I often agree with your posts this one struck me for some reason. So I logged in and hit "view forum posts" on you.
I stopped on page 5 July 2022. Perhaps I overlooked one but I do not see a single "detailed review" from you?
Did I miss one?
To be fair I share your point on the constant half assed promotion of the same girls. We all see it. I simply ignore those. A half baked "review" means squat to a seasoned monger.
Ignoring a post you do not care for or agree with and moving on is a mature approach and one that I certainly respect. There is a certain angry element on this board that has been reviewing reviews with much more energy than they have been reviewing providers. There are some legitimate points & I have & will adjust my reviews accordingly, but there also appears to be an unhealthy fixation upon this small group of very popular providers. The response of this angry element appears to be more emotional than rational. There is likely more going on here than meets the eye than simple annoyance or a desire to steer the review posts in a certain direction. It is often best to not engage with unconstructive posts, but, whether I am a senior member or a newbie, I am reluctant to allow myself to be pushed around by self-important little people who are motivated by petty resentment and anger. That sort of behavior does not contribute to a free exchange of information regarding our collective experiences.
I suspect the dialogue taking place over the last couple weeks has dissuaded more than a couple posters from the forum. That may be what some want, but is that healthy for the forum?

If you read escort thread #20299 you'll see why I don't have bad dates anymore. I met Laci before she started advertising on stg, met her through FB. Most of the girls I meet on FB are not scammers (YET). I don't search stg for dates, I have plenty of them on FB. Regardless who the provider is, I don't give money untill the date is over. If they do not agree to my terms and conditions I don't waste any time or money on them.
Many of them are still average without skills that are not worth reporting on. Not good not bad. I never have a bad date anymore because I don't give money up front. I'm always ready to walk away, when the massage is no good and the girl wont take direction, I get off the table and leave before the ending. I can see how they dont know what to do initially but if they wont take direction and keep making circles on my back Fuck Em. The look on their face when I leave is priceless.
Maybe thats the difference between myself and many other mongers.
Try it, it works.
If the John is promoting someone for there benefit how do we take it as valid as to make a good decision. Lord knows some use the board for that and their benefit. The number of reviews and not having a long list of BAD reviews is pretty telling. Nobody is stopping people from leaving a bad review should they have one. But let's not use logic.

The amount of "marketing" reviews on the boards runs rampant.
I agree. The ones that are over the top should be kicked out of the Man Club. I was smitten once and wanted my "love" to be busy and make a crap ton of money because of my promotion. It's a fine line. But. That being said, I'm infatuated with Milan. I will probably put her in my will so when she gives me a heart attack. She will get it all. LOL.

If the provider is controling the review, its not a real review. We know Some of these members have more than one profile, they could use one of their lesser known profiles to write the real review with details and price but they don't. This leads us to the real questions about reviews. Is it a valid review without details to help the members make a good decision. Is this provider who I want to spend money on? In response the reviewing members might say PM for details.
FUCK PM for details. Grow a pair, cut the purse strings.
I've never asked for a review. I've never guided a review. Any review written about me has been 100% on their own doing.
Good God I wish we could write reviews about some of yall. There are a few that wouldn't be able to get 10 feet from a pussy ever again if the girls got town write.
Don't take it personal, it would be natural for anyone to suggest a review to be written a certain way. Its not about you or any other providers.
Its about the spineless members worried about what the provider would think, if they wrote a full review including details.
