After having been reading and learning here for a longer time I have got an impression of the importance of reviews in the eyes of most of our providers.
Furthermore I have learnt that there are hobbyists writing reviews who should better make a therapy.

What is a review?
A review should be a fair report of an encounter. Sometimes it is not a fair report but a naive forwarding of absurd informations. These reviews are subjective, positive and without any explanation of the forwarded "wisdoms".
There is very seldom a "because".

"She is intelligent." Who says this and why?
"She is a decent girl who has a great personality." What happened, that someone can write this about a person he paid and just met for a couple of hours?
"She is high class." Sorry, I must laugh!

I am amused, when I read the conclusions made by some reviewers after some hours, which they spent in bed to a greater or lesser extent.
Missing experiences of the reviewer, or sentimental talents cause assessments which are simply ridiculous. All these points make me think that there are reviewers who are either naive or the reviews are intentionally faked.

Nevertheless, there are informative and helpful reviews! These reviews are fair descriptions of encounters and providers' services which are not full of emotional, sentimental and immature nonsense. Unfortunately, we hobbyists must accept that a lot of hobbyists do not post reviews to support other hobbyists but for doing providers a favour.

When you come to Utah, USA, and visit the campus of a university there, it may happen to you that you see students who openly wear guns. Believe it, this is allowed there. The influence of the US arms lobby in Utah makes it possible. Some students who have guns in their backpacks have buttons fixed at their backs with the text: "I carry a weapon, because a policemen is too heavy." The background is, that persons should be allowed to protect themselves or other persons, when a bad guy goes on a shooting spree. Related to my bias, something like this is perverse. The majority of movies there is about killing other persons, same thing with computer games. Kids are (nearly) taught to solve problems forcibly. A country where using violence becomes legitimate, but be aware prostitution is prohibited.

More and more I ask myself which role pimps play for (independent) Thai escorts.
No role at all?
Has the number of pimps increased or not during the last couple of months?
Are there more and more foreigners/farangs acting as pimps?

What are the indicators, if an escort has come under "pimp management"?
- Strongly increasing rates, because the pimp needs money;
- Posts made with help of ghostwriters;
- Different qualities of written English in postings
- ...

Reviews are very interesting for a hobbyist. They can be informative and helpful, but also misguiding and deceiving.
How to read a review?

The following two reviews refer to one and the same escort lady. I have found both in the internet at different places. The messages and advices forwarded are completely different.
The truth may be in the middle.

Bad and may be unfair towards the escort?
(In my eyes a fakery)
"[Escort] is DEFINITELY NOT who she advertises herself as. I will comment by taking a step at a time from the details. No, I would never take her home to my mom...NEVER (unless I want to get disinherited of course). She has an old, used face (4.5/10) It's not pretty at all. It won't turn heads or draw attention towards you. The girls at the massage parlors are definitely prettier. She is not a classy lady. She was wearing a typical GRO dress. A sleeveless black plunging dress that showed most of her hips. Very flat chest. I was so turned off. I was just way let down from what I saw. I actually felt sorry from what I saw. I was quite hesitant to write this review but THE TRUTH HAS TO BE REVEALED. What do I suggest? You're better off in a MP and you can take 5 girls for the price of [Escort]. If you don't believe me or you think I'm just writing this to malign her, then GO AHEAD AND GIVE HER A CALL.She does not fulfills her description as a CLASS A, CLASSY lady. She also pretends to be educated. At first, you would think so, due to her voice. However, as you keep talking to her, that tone of sophistication dies down and her real identity is revealed. It starts to sound as if she was from the market. You will just end up disappointed from what you will actually see."

Extreme glorification of the escort and may be unfair towards the hobbyists?
(In my eyes not objective, sample of 'Thailand first timer review')
"[Escort] is a tantalizing, Thai, treat! I was planning a trip to Bangkok and searched the internet in advance. When I saw [Escort]'s website, I knew that she would be the one for me. We correspondend by e-mail several times and she answered all of my questions perfectly.
I booked [Escort] for 5 days and was a little apprehensive about paying all 5 days up front, but after talking with her in my room for a few minutes, I could tell that she was a sincere, honest and caring persons.
This was, without doubt, the best 5 days I have ever experienced. The time spent in our room was sensual and caring, but never rushed. We experienced things together that I had only dreamed about. I was always made to feel like we were real lovers, not just a contrived situation.
Out of the bedroom, [Escort] arranged many sites for us to visit. She helped with translation, bargaining when necessary, transportation, shopping suggestions and in general was there for me with ALL of my needs.
[Escort], I miss you very much! Only wish that you were closer to me so I could see you more frequently. Thank you for most memorable time. Hugs and kisses."

I know, at least it is not new for more experienced hobbyists, but some escorts do not become older.
Meanwhile I have found one having different ages, depending where she posts her ad. Then she is 28, 29 and one time 31 years of age.
The age of 30 seems to be a barrier which escorts do not want to exceed.
But why are some escorts having this problem? I personally prefer a cultivated lady of 40 years of age to a 25 years old slut
