I agree with all you said, but
[QUOTE=Fdx17;3737837]A couple of years ago I wanted to see Molly Daniels it never happened. I sent her some references, it did not fit what she wanted and I did not want to put forth extra effort to make the engagement. Who knows. It may have been the worst mistake of my hobby life. She does not generally want reviews but if you do enough checking you will find she has a stellar reputation.
[/QUOTE]Stellar reviews that high are not all they are cracked up to be.
Some providers with stellar reps will avoid seeing guys who post honest negative reviews. They will be hard to meet up with, and I've had them ask me about more detail regarding those negative reviews. I had this issue with Molly, and a few much more expensive regional ladies who had all 9's /10's on other boards. Not all of them balked entirely. But nearly all of them asked me about my reasons for leaving non-stellar reviews.
In a long-retired first identity, I used to post a high number of always honest reviews. Many positive, but a few negative and never any raving / stellar reviews. The negatives were not hateful rants. I was forced to retire that handle for other reasons. But prior to all of that, I lost interest in seeing Molly after our interaction. And I was very happy I never wasted my time with her once I saw that old dude's video*.
Did you know that wine subjectively tastes better when we are told it was expensive? Humans are very bad at remaining objective about anything.
Around here, the top tier girls charge 2-3 times the average hourly rate of the middle-tier girls: $300-500. The men who pay these rates have primed themselves to value her highly regardless of the objective experience. Even before dropping the money into the crisp white envelope, they are convinced of their superior selection. They believe she must be "worth it". They think they are better than the peasants who "can't afford" quality and this makes them feel good. They believe that her golden pussy must be safe from the filthy, dirty dicks of those same poor peasant men (she's not, because lots of guys regularly fuck SW and also fuck these higher-priced girls). They tell themselves repeatedly that you get what you pay for, and the hookers they pay repeat this, and they tell each other this on all available platforms. And every negative experience that guys report about on the lower levels is chalked up to "you get what you pay for". Despite all the evidence to the contrary.
All this creates an unspoken pact between the higher priced girls and their adoring clients. The guys who think that paying more means getting "the best" (even though it's artificial and predictable) have a psychological interest in re-affirming this. The girls weed out the guys who don't play into this facade. And the clueless men on the outside take it at face value.
Once I experienced the high-priced-market and learned the truth about the whole thing, I lost all interest in seeing these high-rated girls. Well, that an seeing a number of them and not being impressed. I had better experiences with UTR / non-advertisers. And realized how much YMMV makes non-functional** reviews worthless.
You can't buy chemistry. Financial exclusivity doesn't directly relate to risk analysis. Hoops don't mean the prize is worth the jumping. There's a guy here who's seen some famous porn chicks. He also has gotten STDs from cheap, young barebacking drug addicts working the street and backpage. You have to read between the lines and pay attention, but I have no doubt he barebacks all his dates. I have no doubt he barebacked the expensive and harder to access porn star. And I suspect if he had something serious, he'd still be doing this. He might even become more careless. And I suspect he is not unique in his predilections at all. But that's a separate issue, though related. This business is framed in myths.
It happens here as well, without rated reviews. Some prominent reviewers have a vested interest in you going where they tell you to. Money. Promises. Sometimes just weird little-boy ego.

* I am sure she has fans here. But what I saw in that video is her working a job and being friendly about it. Not a negative for most guys, but for me it is. I only enjoy women who actually enjoy fucking me on a primitive level. That's not a value judgement of Molly. I've never met her in person. It's like having a competent waitress who wants to do a good job and brings you everything you ask while waiting on a dozen other tables, versus having one who would ditch her job in a second to hop into your car and go for a ride. Even if you never ask her to, that burger tastes much better. Molly might be that for some of her clients. Unless she is all blocked up and can't feel anything. But that video showed me what her business face looked like and confirmed that she's just a jobber like most of the girls who do this for more than a few weeks. Competent, reliable, but not my type.
** Functional reviews focus on the details of setup / location / accuracy of pictures / etc. How much, how long, etc. Saying her location is in a poor part of town, but felt safe is functionally useful. Non-functional reviews focus on the details that are highly subjective. Saying "she gave me the best BBBJ of my life! Or "she has the best ass guys!" Is worthless. It's just shill-bullshit. I don't care. Most likely I don't find her BBBJ to be that great and her ass is probably huge and full of cellulite you over-exclaiming shill. You can write it, and a few weirdos can jerk off to it. But it's not useful to most of us.
