Hmmmmm.... is it demeaning?
On one hand, I can fully understand the consumer wanting the best information he can get. On the other hand, well - other's have already posted the limitations of such a system. One man's GFE is another man's Date from Hell.
I must say that when I saw this topic introduced, I got a little sick to my stomach, and not because I worry about what such a system would do to me - I am no longer involved.
I guess it just upsets me, somehow. I know that there are bad providers, and I think they should be avoided. But I don't see how a woman needs to be bad-mouthed because her breasts aren't perfect.
The level of nit-picking can get pretty high. If that is what the consumers want, then they should definately do it in a private forum. While I was often really shocked by what I read on JAG, I really think that it is good for men to have their private locker room. Also, since I was the eavesdropper, I know I had no right to complain.
Still, I remember when somebody said about me "Her tits are ridiculously small. I can't believe she never got implants." It was a slap in the face that someone wouldn't recognize that I DO NOT EXIST ONLY AS A PROVIDER. I already had more clients than I could handle. More importantly, I didn't want to take the health risks just so I could try to please everyone.
Also, I notice that nobody questions BBBJ as a criteria. (BBBJTC!!!). Um, some people might consider that a minus. Well, you've all heard my rants about that issue already. But, I feel that men are pressuring for BBBJ/BBBJTC because they don't feel THEY have anything to worry about. (Better watch for cold sores, though...)
And, that BBBJTC thing brings up another issue for me - I often think that what is being discussed is not only a matter of getting good value in terms of physical pleasure. Sure, it's nice if a girl kisses you and seems to genuinely like you - but I often got the distinct feeling that it was more about submission and testing boundaries.
I can tell you that I have had several customers who would seek out your boundaries and launch an assault on them. In other words, they would twist nipples, try to ram dry fingers into delicate orifices, lick and slobber, push/pull/bend/twist limbs, and deliberately mess up your hair. I found that the best way to deal with them was to tell them that something innocuous was absolutely off-limits. I told these kinds of men that my elbows are very, very sensitive, so please don't touch my elbows. That way, they spent their hour trying to touch my elbows. The WORST thing I could do was tell them the truth - my belly button is so sensitive that I can't even touch it, myself, and the mere thought of someone touching it makes me want to scream and puke. (ot - It turns out that I am not alone in this, I know of about five other people who feel the same way. Funny huh?/ot)
So, when I read BBBJTC, I think that it's not so much about pleasure as it is about pushing boundaries. While nobody wants a girl to gag, screw up her face and spit after you come, I have never had a boyfriend complain when, once I sense he's about to come, I use my hands and lips on the shaft so that he actually comes on his own stomach. (I lovingly clean him up.) So, I can give a monster blow-job that will make you see stars, but you'll take off points for not giving in on the swallowing issue.
Anyway, of course YMMV, and I think all reasonable people know that. I do understand wanting to know what a girl will and won't do. If you're looking for greek, you want to find it, and I don't blame you!
Anyway, on UtopiaGuide, I think a numbers ratings system would turn ugly. However, I think a private client-only forum is a good place for that sort of thing if it is really useful to you, even if it's not the perfect solution.
