My thoughts on reviews

Entry for May 10, 2006

Reviews. Just the word seems intimidating. You hear it in the movie world all of the time. It is the “make you or break you” of this business. Or is it? I remember reading my very first review. Now picture this. I am sitting at my computer, just finishing my first few days of escorting with my agency. Although my very first call hadn’t gone so well aside from that the gents that I had seen seemed to have a good time. But still I wondered if I measured up to what they were used to.

I am nervous as I read the newest title under Niagara’s reviews….there it is, my name. My heart skips a beat or two as I wonder just what this gent had to say. What if he had a terrible time and wants everyone to hear of it so they steer clear? What if he goes into such terrible details of what a poor lover I am? I never thought what it would be like to be publicly reviewed about your intimate encounters….to be rated, scored, summed up.

So I click on the post, my hands trembling just a little. I have spent quite some time on these web based review boards so I know just how important they can be to a woman’s business. I scan quickly for key words, adjectives, before I actually read what he wrote. Attractive, confident, friendly, great kisser, Niagara has a new star! Whew! I survived my first review.

Then I read in more detail just what was being said and I felt something I hadn’t expected to feel. It was a great review and this gent seemed to have had an excellent time. He was pleased with me and that should have been a great feeling. But then I realized that now my most personal, intimate moments were posted on a website for everyone to read! Just try to imagine that…your lover comparing you to all others in every category possible. First you have the kiss….does she or doesn’t she? Tongue or no tongue? Then there is oral and positions and conversation and body ….the list goes on and on. Everything about me being sized up in one small paragraph. It took some time to get used to this “system” before I could actually relax and be appreciative of the positive reviews.

Now it is fun to read my reviews. I still panic just a little when I see my name in a title but I am more confident now. Not every call can be a great one. Sometimes things just don’t click and everyone’s personal preferences vary. Although I have been lucky to not have had a terrible review as of yet, I know too that one review does not make or break you. It is the consistency that tells all of what type of person I am and the experience one can expect. They are a personal expression of a particular experience and not all experiences can be wonderful and passionate. I am just thankful that I have been lucky enough to truly enjoy what I do which in return allows my clients to enjoy our time together.

So now when I am asked if it is okay to have a meet reviewed I say "Bring it on"! Just keep them what they are meant to be....honest, imformative and fun to read!
