It's been very interesting to read all your thoughts. Thanks for being here.
Questions for you:
- What percentage of women in the business would you guess are aware of Massage Planet?
- How do you feel about being reviewed online?
- If you're OK with being reviewed, what is the difference between a review you would approve of and a review you would disapprove of?
- How do your co-workers feel about online reviews?
- Why are there so few women on this forum?
Even though there are so many clients online who are the source of all income for this business, it's incredibly rare any girls in the industry post in this forum ever, which is telling....
That makes you very special, so again thanks for braving the lion's den and sharing your outlook with us, it's appreciated.
You're welcome.

All the reviews I've seen about me have been favorable. That said, I never make decisions based off of reviews anymore - you're only getting one side of the story. I also don't leave reviews anymore for the same reason.
Honesty vs dishonesty. Not everyone is going to be satisfied with a session from me - that's just life, whether it's down to expectations, lack of chemistry or some other reason. As long as the review is fair and objective, that's all I could ever ask for.
The majority don't care.
Have you seen some of the behavior on this thread already? In a handful of pages, despite repeatedly being told not to, several attempts have been made to figure out who I am. We are tired of repeating "No" at work constantly. Even in this thread, never mind others, I have seen what I would deem sociopathic behavior. I'm very desensitized to antisocial behavior - mostly because I started reading a lot at a young age and practiced how to see through someone else's eyes young based off of different character viewpoints, so it doesn't bother me as long as I'm not burnt out, but it does get very annoying very quickly. Unless you're going to advertise, it's not worth it. I am bored so I'm here and as long as things stay civil, I'm happy to be here. This is interesting for me.
Edit: Re last paragraph - if you have ever seen the video of Jordan Peterson talking about the exercise where he thinks about what he would have to do to commit an atrocity against another person and he was surprised that it wasn't as big a gap as he expected - I think once you are proficient at that exercise, you truly understand human nature and life is much easier for you.
Obviously have to take into consideration that people are more good than bad (it's just unfortunate circumstance that the people in power are the ones we don't want - but I have heard separate theories about why this is).
I've recently noticed on YouTube that there have been about 30 documentaries about the Holocaust and associated medical experiments released in the last year - I consider it foreshadowing. "Fair" is a core point in my MO so I of course weep about what has been and what will come to pass, but then I also make myself embody the other side and think about how we all got here. Forum nonsense becomes very trivial in comparison. Maybe that's too off track for this forum but I felt compelled to share it, so maybe someone needed to hear it.
A quote I heard today to share before I go to bed:
"If you hold your hand out in trust then you're inviting the best part of that person to step forward and that won't happen unless you take that initial step and that's courage, not naivety. And so to trust someone once your eyes are open, that's an act of courage, and that opens up the world." - JP
