AM Kei of AM - Idle Dynamo

[User#7832]

Sorry but I don't want to sit idle and see Kei bashed here.

Members of the forum all know that everyone experience is different and depends on a lot of factors. I had a great session with her about two years back. I liked her outgoing personality and interest in talking about a range of subjects. I didn't in any way feel that she was stalling; to the contrary I recall that we went a bit over on our session as things had gotten really hot ;-)

It could be that the description on the AM site gave the poster the wrong expectations. But I for one got everything I wanted and more in my session with Kei.

Just take note, I wasn't bashing her, quite the opposite, in fact.

Anyway, I think it should be common sense not to trust 100% all the reviews/site profiles/word of mouth until you try out the girl yourself and see if you are a good match for each other. Everyone has their own preferences and opinions in the end, so all the information you get from others should be taken with a grain of salt.

You also can't expect the girl to be totally into the client. It's great if she is or has a professional attitude about it, but no one is perfect. It all boils down to chemistry at some point.

That being said, I hope my reviews of all the girls I want to share have been accurate to some extent. I always try to find the positive in the girl I meet and will only give a negative review if something really did bother me or there was false/shady advertising.

Nobody's bashing Kei. But I do think it's important that if "YMMV" is the golden rule for reviews, then it actually becomes more important that more people speak up if they have had a less than stellar experience, so that potential future customers have more information on whether or not a provider would be suitable for them.

I do agree there's a fine line sometimes with non-positive reviews, and we should strive for some measure of objectivity and not let a negative review descend into mindless vitriolic bashing.

(Sorry for randomly popping out of lurker mode and having verbal diarrhoea on this thread!)

 

[Wwanderer]

On the other hand: what's the point of a review, if - obviously - chemistry and "YMMV" still get in the way...?

I agree with you to a large extent. I think the value of reviews is highly exaggerated in the minds of most mongers. As far as I can see, they are mostly good only for pointing out real/intentional scams and rip-offs or providers who blatantly lie in their adverts or cases of very bad situations that don't show up in photos and ads (bad hygiene, drug or alcohol abuse at a level which heavily impacts service, constant upselling, no-showing clients) etc. In other words, they can serve as useful warnings about things that virtually no monger would want to encounter. Of course a detailed narrative review is hardly needed to convey that sort of situation. A report a few sentences long is normally sufficient.

I also see some value in reviews that point out real and rare gems in the eyes of the reviewer. This is often best done with an extensive review to make it clear what is so special about the lady and her services. YMMV still applies...very much, so such a review is no guarantee. But at least you can know that she thrills at least one monger and stands out as special in his experience and for his tastes, so there is a *chance* that she will be hyper-great for you too.

Between those two extremes, when one is discussing more typical and ordinary p4p experiences, I think the YMMV effect is so strong that the details of the review are almost worthless to the reader.

Way back in the early days of online p4p forums, I wrote LOTS of reviews...pretty much one for every encounter I had or at least every escort I met, but for the above stated reasons, I pretty much stopped writing them years ago, before TAG opened in fact. These days I'd post a short warning if I felt that I had a seriously bad experience (the first case above, happily it has been a long time since anything like that happened to me) and will very occasional write a detailed review of a lady that pleases me so much and so consistently that I have seen her on many occasions over an extended period of time (the second case above). Other than that, I don't bother.

I guess this is a heretical opinion on a board like TAG were writing and reading reviews are one of its main values and justifications.

Heresy indeed!

Yes it's true, reviews may not be valuable at first glance. But think of the details that can be offered:

Pse or gfe
Body type
Blow job style
Best positions
Shy or not
Shaven vs fur pie

Etc etc

Well, you did get all the service advertised on the general website. Just her profile could seem misleading because appearantly she cant be that energetic at every appointment.

You ask "whats the point of reviews"
Well, the point is to avoid scams and to point people in the direction of shops/providers that someone had a positive experience with. They can not guarantee 100% satisfaction.

Everyone goes in with different tastes, different expectations at a different moment.

This is not typical or exclusive for the sex business only.

I posted my favorite high end restaurant once, and another TAG member commented that he found it quite disappointing. But this place has been holding up a michelain star rating for a few years already, so does this mean the highest review system in the restaurant world is useless?

YMMV just with everything in life, its unavoidable and if you dont trust a certain industry than its maybe wise to not keep dropping top money on it.

The old adage is "the only thing guaranteed in life are death and taxes". If you can't afford to pay, then don't play. The number 1 rule to live by in Vegas. I totally agree with you Alice.

While I find some reviews particularly entertaining, as in NED, which I do miss them, they should all be taken with a "grain of salt". But you are very correct in stating how strong YMMV effect is. Case in point, Frenchy's date with Alice versus mine. I'm sure both reviews were equally accurate for that person from their perspective. I totally believe what Frenchy said and don't begrudge him for it. It is what it is, a roll of the dice. Just like in horse racing you try to make an educated choice, but at the end of the day it boils down to how two people, often strangers, will interact at that given time. No calculable odds on that. Too many variables.

Yeah... still not entirely convinced, though.
I agree that reviews are definitely helpful in "extreme" cases, be it negative (i.e. STDs, fraud) or (consistently) positive.

Everything in between... well...

- PSE/GFE: Big "?" (see initial post)
- Considerable weight can be gained or lost within weeks
- The lid must match the pot
- " "
- I'm just saying "chemistry"
- Hair is growing 0.1mm/day

Nevertheless I still deem it helpful to have a mix of reviews, both positive and... less positive.
If only positive reviews would be posted, the negative surprise would be much bigger in case the magic doesn't happen...

Most of that info you can get directly and often more reliably from the lady herself and/or her photos and adverts. And, again, the YMMV effect makes a lot of it unreliable too. The best position for one guy won't be the same for another. She may feel shy with some men but not others or at one time but not others etc.

[DocMcStuffins]

Occasionally you can't get that information from either the lady or the shop. In any case, I mostly agree with you.

But I'm trying to justify TAG's business model!

That's being a good TAG citizen! Anyway, online reviews of nearly everything are the rage nowadays, so I don't think TAG is in any danger of losing its justification as a review site.

Fwiiw I think many who read reviews aren't actually using them to make their own "purchasing decisions" but rather to vicariously enjoy the experiences of others in the fascinating world of p4p.

Profoundly true!

Rider, I wasn't referring to your post but rather to the original review and subsequent negative piling on. I have found your reviews to always be balanced and objective.

 

[MacMackerson]

Kei is very YMMV. She was not into me.

Japan is pretty low YMMV in my experience. I rarely have issues

Yes, let's admit it, it's very voyeuristic
