Your mileage may vary?

How far are you prepared to trust a review?

Maybe the so-so punt is the result that the WL doesn't like his type?

Maybe there is little something that he does the WL finds offensive?

Maybe there is a lack of chemistry?

I have had my share of dud punts. Nothing I could do. I just shook my head and moved on - the long and winding road to find the right WL.

When I find one or two such WLs I have no incentive to try new girls.

Punting is sometimes an art of investing time and money to cultivate a certain sort of "working relationship". However to many of us Time and Money are not in huge supply.

Nothing in life is a guarantee other than death. I have experienced a lot of what you are feeling. The reference to the long and winding road is the give away. My punting life has led to many doors, both good and bad, and I felt that I would always "find the one". My life changed and now my perspective has changed. I have a ML that no longer is here and I now realise what a wonderful friendship/relationship I had with her. She is not the only woman to leave the game that we play but I am now comfortable in the knowledge that I cannot replace her. I see regulars that make me happy. Treat them well and when the time comes and the passion ends we will part knowing that we did our best. I am a long way past trophies or conquests, and treat both as the biggest mind problems facing players in this game 😎

Reviews help me set my expectations.

The WL is supposed to put on an act to provide a great experience regardless of whether or not the person is her type.

Different WLs have different boundaries. Most punters prefer one with looser boundaries.

Again this is all an act and if you’re buying into the fantasy that there is genuine chemistry then she has done her job pretty well.

Thanks maguro for starting this thread.

Like most here I have had my fair share of ups & downs when it comes to discovering some real gems in our ML world. My former reg did a great job of looking after me over the 4+ years we had but unfortunately the really good times just fall apart sometimes for whatever reason(s).

Earlier this year I had some great sessions with a ML that was the result of just being a "walk-in" but unfortunately she left. I went back there a couple of times & didn't stay, despite much coaxing by the ML's there, to see if she was there but no unfortunately.

Yesterday however I got a text from her saying she is back so I replied & have arranged another session for next week. Definitely a potential reg but will see how it goes. Will keep you posted, cheers...

YMMV, live and die by it. Applies to most things in life especially for something as personal and private as punting!

I use reviews almost exclusively for the physical descriptions of the girls.
Sometimes I take in the service part but only when it sounds like a “real” anecdote. For example if they said the girl was a bit shy or cool type, I’d take that in. I largely ignore the superlative descriptions that go over the top.

Always, always, always YMMV...

Everyone has personal preferences. Be that looks, personality, sexual acts, etc. What hits all the boxes for one punter might not for you even though what's written might seem like it. And when I say everyone... That includes the girls. For the most part they're professionals, and generally perform to a standard regardless (at good establishments) but the closer you are to their preferences, the more likely you are to have a great time instead of a good time, so of course there is always going to be some variance.

[holi_day]

You need to calibrate your preference with the ARs wrutters. Different fellow punters have different preferences.

Read between and get the information you need, and make your judgement

[meisterbator]

Always DYOR. I typically just want to make sure the girl I'm seeing is what I would expect based on the ad and that I'm not going to rock up and be potentially jumped.

[Warden]

Ars are very useful, they give me a data point. Multiple AR on the same girl and now I start getting a picture. Especially when an AR is well done there are description that you can translate in your own way of seeing things. Having said that I have let ARs misleading me before and that is part of the process :)

[maguro]

When we look at the photos of a WL on a shop site add at least 10 years to her age to avoid disappointment for a face-to-face encounter.

In this fucken joint its more like "The Bullshit May Vary"

I trust AR's in the same way I do photos. Just someone's description of his experience as he saw it. Now if the poster has some commonality - same pulls, similar style, then perhaps a bit more weight. E.G. AHLUNGOR, I was going more on his descriptions than anything, the usual YMMV for services. A number of similar experiences, but not all. One of his best was one of my worst. I'll read the AR, and, if interesting, go see MYSELF. Just like with photos.


Some seem to need an AR to see if they'll go or not. You snooze, you lose. Miss a lot of great opportunities that way. Some of my favs were sans AR's, either the AR's didn't exist, or I didn't see. Visual observation, try.

Some, on a negative AR, hit the eject button ("thanks, off my list"). Unless it's an out-n-out rip, I'll go see for myself if she looks/sounds interesting. I'm a better judge (for me).



The only dud punts I have are the ones not taken. A few still haunt me. Otherwise, how can it be a dud punt? Now I KNOW what HER experience is like with ME, REGARDLESS. Good - get her contact for repeats. One-n-Done - well, the name says it all. It's not a dud because now I KNOW.

Lose time and money? It's entertainment; knowledge is expensive. I'd rather KNOW than WONDER.

Disappointment? Just the difference between your fantasy and reality.

As to "loss". Basics of being an ex-pat, you understand. Every ex-pat has 2 buckets - a money bucket and a shit bucket. When either one gets full, time to go home. Whether she retires, returns home, moves upmarket (her floor now higher than my ceiling), I'm happy for her. Better life for her. Selfishly a bit of a downer for me, but you move on. Because the alternative is not good for EITHER; fact of life - death.

Let reality be your guide.
