Profile Reviews

Whenever I buy online I always check the reviews on the products I am interested in purchasing. Likewise, when going on holiday I check the reviews of hotels, restaurants and such, then afterwards always post a review of my own.

It occurred to me... Although this could be somewhat complicated, I wonder whether a profile review system would work for dating sites.... What do you think?

Last time I looked CS has one. So what is your point? laugh
As my parents used to say "If it's not broke why fix it."laugh
Unless you mean personal reviews? Like - meet someone and rate them out of ten for other CS members?

Ouch! rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Either I have not explained the subject of the blog well enough or none of you are singing from the correct hymn sheet!

I am suggesting what Vivian has said whereby people write a personal review.
And who do u suggest do these reviews. Who r the experts having experiencex the person in the profile. Previous suitors that came up with nothi.g. then all negative reviews. Or do u want a review on used profiles.
Hi solamente...

Interesting quotation : Whether a profile review system would work for dating sites...

I am not sure it would be appropriate to do that in dating site. Some people would feel bad when he/she gets "unpleasant" review on his/her profile. Profile review could lead to judging people and as we all know that judging people is haram dunno
Yikes, I was joking. The mind BOGGLES

But it would be brilliant!
I always think that those first few product reviews are written by someone linked to the seller. I think you'll find that the first one is a good one.

Reviews on here could be bogus and how sad for an innocent bystander.

I've given up looking at reviews. I like to try the real thing.

I never sing I hum.laugh
Wow interesting attitudes towards reviews. hijack as a writer I rely on reviews heavily. I don't write my own. I don't ask friends to do fake ones. And nobody is an expert, just a user. They like the book, they say so. They don't like it, they say so. It is an opinion.

Having said that, honest personal reviews here would be cool. But I don't think they would ever be honest. You like someone, you give them five stars. They don't contact you again, straight down to one star and a knife in the back!!

But Sola, there are testimonials on profiles. I don't think it is used much, though
Sol,

What about if we have to attach some documents or certificates, etc...to prove that the profile is genuine? A reference letter from an ex-partner or two , divorce certificate if divorced, death certificate if widowed, medical certificate, etc...dunno grin
can you add a certificate proving you are sane, and not under the influence of drink or drugs........... please
One of the world wars was started when an Archduke nobody had heard of was shot, in fact most wars start with a forgettable incident, but I think we can be sure who started WW111, Sola on CS blogs with reviews uh oh wow laugh rolling on the floor laughing
On a personal note, if any ladies who like to share my bed I'll be happy to post a review of their performance, using scientifically formulated principles of course, such as style & stamina hmmm hole laugh rolling on the floor laughing
A few weeks ago I wanted to purchase a smart watch, reading the reviews was very confusing.
The one I did purchase was difficult to set-up and I could see why some people gave it negative reviews, however once it was set-up it works perfectly.
Haha Z reading both your review of her and her of you would be fascinating!

I did meet a guy off here very early on. He never blogs but if he did read this and lash back it would be interesting. He was at least 10 years old than his stated age and pic and told me 'everyone' lies about their age. He grew cannabis for extra income (quite a lot, if his stated £80K a year was accurate) wink and smoked his own product. A lot.

So how would I word my review tactfully but still warning his next date exactly what to expect?
Viv, not sure but The Sun would probably headline "Drug boss granddad fiddle taxman in fraud scandal" laugh rolling on the floor laughing laugh
rolling on the floor laughing I was thinking of a heading like Smokey The Bandit and comments like - very laid back - green fingers, a keen grower of rarely-seen plants - doesn't look his age -

yours is better.
Salamente, SeaGrit and the others. Have none of you ever been to



Exactly what both of you are talking about is already here. Good comments, bad comments, accusations of fakery, all that. So again, Solamente, I am not understanding what you are asking got if it already exists?

You find the profile you like, then read the reviews of that person. What;s hard about that? Of course some members aRE smart enough to disable this on their profile, but many aren't.
All dating websites are, even the ones where you have to pay to join.
Ken...
I am aware that there exists a profile review section however it is more for people to invite comments. I am suggesting a review where people post experiences they have had with other members.
seagrit...

A simple review system would at least verify whether the profile matched the person in reality.

Example... Q.Was the persons description

A. Exactly as stated
B. Similar
C. Completely different
Rain...
Sometimes a review will give an indication whether the real thing is actually as described on the box
Crazy...
Good idea, I was once a member of a site where some people posted a pic holding a piece of paper with the sites name written on and the date.
Z......

You could of course just post a performance quick summary of your experiences with all the CS ladies you have "bedded".

I shall cross check whether your summary tallies with those written about you! rolling on the floor laughing
Viv...

Perhaps any testimonials should show on the profile main page similar to how friends are shown... that would be good.
I must admit when I look at clothing reviews if it says that the garment comes up too big, too small, long sleeves, short sleeves and is then repeated throughout the individual reviews then I will see it as a good indication of what I can expect.

That would suggest that there should be a certain number of reviews in place before it can be taken seriously.
Solamente If someone did that they would be open to libel or slander if they did it poorly. CS if it encouraged it would be the primary money holder sued, so we understand the reason for rule 16 below.

Following rule 16 is hard sometimes. There is one person who when identified as a fake long ago, went dormant for awhile but seems to be back under a different persona complete with a new history. Yeah, sometimes one wishes to advise all and expose a nut who is a fake especially when they write hate stuff, but telling CS how we know is all we can do.

Regarding dating experiences, I am thinking you mean high school boys locker room stuff? Tales about who puts out and who doesn't? Hmmm, I was brought up with the rule a gentleman never tells. Interestingly enough I found out once the women knew I wouldn't, it worked out surprisingly well for me. laugh
There is the possibility to leave testimonials on someone's profile.

Every rejected weirdo would go ballistic. I have it switched off btw. laugh
