Reviews: General Statements vs. Personal Experiences

Which type of TUSCL review do you prefer? General assessments that describe what the club has to offer from a detached point of view, or accounts of the reviewer's personal experience on a visit to the club?
I prefer the latter, although I'm glad that some of both styles makes it into the mix. Some have posted in the past that they don't even consider personal accounts to be legitimate reviews. I think they are more interesting to read and cumulatively more informative.

"Club XYZ has seating for 250, 80 girls working (45 blondes, 25 europeans, 35 size c breasts), $10 cover charge at night and $20 lap dances, club is clean, girls are polite, lap dances are in a common area and give a nice grind, etc, etc, etc"

"I was at Club XYZ Saturday and this super hot girl came up to me and she was on fire, she did a fantastic grinding and even sucking on my ears, wow, what a great time. I really thought she was amazing, best dance I've ever gotten at this club."
The first general club review might be a review of the club but hardly gives a person substantially more information than what appears in the Club description info. The latter is a review of the girl more than the club, sure it might say alot about what goes on in the club but the bottom line it reviews a girl, whether the poster names her or not.
Both probably help, but for me the latter tells me what happens at the club which is alot more than some basic club information which any club description could tell you.
In general, I think an attempt to just state completely objective facts is less useful, and interesting, than a subjective account of one's experiences.
If someone has already written that kind of review, all you need then is the day, and time of day and the quality of the dancers and experience.
I'd say bring on the personal experience reviews and the market will sort out the junk.
Just tell me hours of operation, location, dance prices, parking, etc. and I'm a happy girl.
Just the facts, ma'am.
Most everyone on here will have a different personal experience than yours. So it is easy to see why you would take them with "a huge grain of salt". AS for "Just the facts, ma'am.", those would be awfully boring in every review. It would be better if reviewers update the club information with that data.
My experiences are different than most, so it is often hard for me to relate to most other customer reviews. I also found alot of the times my expectations were either too high or too low based on other customers interpretation of the club, so I began to disregard them in favor of "just the facts". I prefer to walk into a new club with no expectations, so at least I won't be disappointed as much if it turns out that the club....well.....sucks.
See, there you go! Most guys do what a club that is a sucking club! :)
In my opinion, an Amazon-style "Was this review helpful?" vote would be overkill.
Strange thing for you say, since seem to spend at least 90% of your time here flaming others.
The reviews are really about personal experiences. We all know that different people are certain to have different experiences, and that our own experiences will vary per visit. But the personal experiences in reviews give an indication of what may be possible or what a customer might be on guard against at a club, and are therefore valuable. Also, they can be entertaining.
Bullshit detection from readers w/o the need to post a full review, among other things.
Posting comments really would serve no purpose.
Another one: Follow-up questions readers can post for the reviewer for clarification, etc.
"Posting comments really would serve no purpose."
You already said that, Tittyfan. So what's your better idea to address the point Gatorfan brought up?
Mostly, this idea comes from those that would prefer to try & "shout down" another reviewer's opinion of a particular strip club, especially if there are a shill for said strip club. The club's discussion board, which is greatly underutilized due to its location probably, is really where these types of "discussions" should be had. That's where ole scat has a field day trying to blast other reviewers of the PP.
http://www.spahunters.com
has a system like the one that's been proposed here, and it usually (not always though) turns into a pissing match for people to try & say that this or that review is "bogus". That website also is no where near as frequently updated as this website though. It's like pulling teeth to get a new AMP listed or updated there, so the comments are essential to getting any go info on a place to begin with.
When I wrote "sucks".....it wasn't the GOOD kind!
Anyway, I think his are examples of reviews that weave a great deal of general info into a personal narrative. I like that type of combination so much better than a review that begins with detached general info, then somewhat abruptly switches to the personal experience part.
"Combination for me.
1) Detached Point of View: Tells me what to expect when I arrive.
2) Reviewer's Personal Experience: Tells me how much money to bring into the club. What to wear (for easy access). Who (by name) to look for."
Check, please!
