Honolulugirl applauds positivity
I am so happy to see good things written about providers. Life can be so hard and mean, but we, as a collective, have the power to create a corner of the world / cyberworld with a zeitgeist that is uplifting and encouraging. Society has so many negative messages directed at those of us who travel off the beaten path. Why not band together by finding something, one thing, anything that is praiseworthy? Imagine how the general spirit of support and encouragement will spread, producing happier providers who serve with alacrity because they have reason to believe that their efforts will be publicly appreciated, at least a little bit. It's emotionally trying to log on to the site, knowing you've tried your best, but unsure if some cruel, uncalled for comment awaits. I know, if you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. I understand, but I dare ask: can we improve the kitchen?
Honolulugirl reflects about the sensible response
I completely agree that not every provider has a genuine heart to serve. And of course, scammers should be exposed. Certain aspects of the experience can be objectively rated by anyone, for example, were the posted pictures accurate and recent, did she honor her promotion, was she punctual or a clock-watcher? But other aspects of the experience are subjective, and people are speaking about their personal preferences. For myself, I want to always get high marks for objective standards. As for personal preferences, as much as I'd like to be able to sing "I'm Every Woman" I know it's impossible to be all things to all people. I hope people read reviews with an eye for what is fact versus what is opinion. One thing I don't understand, but maybe someone has input, is why we hear so little about what the provider did to rectify a problem. For example, someone might post "it was way too bright in the room. That ruined things. " At that (hypothetical) point I'd think, did he ask for a correction to be made in the moment? Certain things can easily be remedied with communication. In fact, I can't think of any relationship, no matter how surface or fleeting, that wouldn't benefit from open communication. Do people say "may I please have less of this and more of that?" Or do they say nothing and complain behind the comfort of online anonymity. The best I can figure is that often people react negatively to anything they perceive as criticism and people want to avoid confrontation at all costs, so they say nothing in the moment. I've been told that speaking up can be considered rude. As a native New Yorker I'm used to speaking my mind to solve things. I've read complaints about things that were totally unacceptable, and I would have totally said something in the moment. But evidently, nothing was said during the encounter. Unless. I have to wonder. Maybe things didn't really happen that way. ? Let's hear it for outspoken honesty with kindness from the time the appointment is set to the time to post the review!
