Why is it that every single pro, has 5-star reviews from every single person? Have not seen 1 person receive 1 review under 5 stars.
@SlimJuice There are lower karmas out there. Just not as common. Usually with bad experiences, they will leave no karma, and just report, if behavior was reportable. A lot of times people won’t put a low one, because the other person can do it back.
Take karma with a grain of salt, and go with the pro that looks most professional to you and has great karma repeatedly.
Very often the bad ones who would normally get a 1 star review are reported & banned very quickly so there’s no karma to post at all.
Because cuddling is intimate, and leaving lower than five stars feels very rude. Other ratings do occur but they are very rare.
I find it difficult to imagine writing Karma with anything other than five stars. If there was a problem, I'd discuss it privately. The only exception would be a one star Karma for some disastrous encounter which wasn't Reportable, but I can't imagine what that might be.
Always read Karma thoughtfully, and always click through and see what you think of the writer. Never rely on Karma on its own.
"Praise in public; criticize in private.”
Karma is not about being nice or rude, giving praise or criticism...
Karma is meant to give potential cuddlers an idea of what cuddling that person is like. It should be accurate and honest. The box literally says, "write about your experience". Not "leave a kind note". 🫤
That doesn't mean it should publicly expose something personal, be unnecessarily specific, or shame anyone.
There's a wide gap between honest, and disparaging or insensitive.
That said, only twice have I had interactions that were less than worthy of 5 stars, and I knocked off a star, accordingly.
If what we write is a pretty lie, there's no point.

Thank you, @SunsetSnuggles! So well put! Though I have only left one sub 5 star karma myself, that one was important for me to leave, as several other clients had reached out to say they had a similar experience. However, they never explained why they scheduled with her after reading my review, something I found kind of funny
I left it to be honest, to your point......I did not want to be rude, as @CuddleDuncan suggested all sub-5 star reviews were. The confirmation that others had a similar experience helped me to understand it wasn't personal; this pro just provides detached sessions, with little to no conversation, and appears to be like a deer in the headlights upon meeting.
If there are no critical reviews, if no pros conduct mediocre sessions, it would appear that there was a lack of authenticity in the whole system. Sure, there are the obvious 1 star no-shows, but we are talking about boundary-pushing clients, and the disengaged, inauthentic pros that need to be exposed. Suggesting that the pro only needs to report the client so as to ban is really more the extreme; there are plenty who provide an energy that is problematic without actually pushing boundaries, and that needs to mentioned in karma so future pros can take note. And again, just because the pro shows up, that certainly doesn't warrant a 5 star review! If she answers her phone during the session, feels/looks disengaged, falls asleep, etc., this should be part of a karma review.
One can be considerate in writing of a mediocre session without shaming or being rude.....
