If a girl has been in a house for a long time and you can't find reviews. STAY THE FUCK AWAY.
Houses in San Diego tend to rotate the ladies every two weeks and some do return. Lately we've had several new ladies rotate in from Vegas, Boston, PNW, Bay Area and Latin America. Normally I'll check this forum first for any mention or review. If there's nothing here, I'll head over to the other city forums and do searches on the name listed used San Diego. You guys are usually pretty accurate with reviews and with the exception of a few known shills / bookers, I'll take your input seriously.
Prices have gone up and the photoshop images are never accurate. The pics are useful when the girl has used those images in another city or the social media whiz in the house took them off an Asian model site. Image Search is your friend there. Pics are nice but I'm waiting for a review or fuck it. These houses have used fake pics for way too long. Some of the best girls in the business have realized the fact that accurate pics work. Case in point is Bora / Rhea. We knew right away she'd switched houses and several of us dove in and enjoyed her! Sandra99 had a new one, Emily and Mayli. Both have real pics and their bookings are doing great.
Our well known "Mexican Crew" of ladies use real pics and look at how well their rep has skyrocketed! I like variety and a few times my little brain gets the better of me. My craving for fresh young, firm ass, big tit, small tit, smooth skin pussy gets the better of me and all my "rules" get thrown out the door. Does it work? 99% of the time she's a fucking trainwreck. Houses showing you pics be like "she's new and young", "she's a Ferrari" but when you meet up she's a god damn F150 with 200,000 hard miles on her. Same is true for house chicks or Indies. Find the review. Then, see how often this dude puts up reviews and if there is a hidden agenda behind it like maybe's he's a booker / BF. It's like Olympic scoring, toss out the high and toss out the low. Read ones in the middle. No reviews or reviews from the booker / shill. STAY THE FUCK AWAY.
