tuscl Club Ratings vs. Your Own Club Ratings
A slow Sunday at the worksite gave me free time to wander through tuscl club ratings. I compared the ratings generated by my own reviews with the averages that Founder calculates from all reviews submitted for those same clubs. I have reviewed 32 different clubs. For 15 of those clubs my reviews were less than 0.5 points different than the tuscl average. 6 of my reviews were 0.5-1.0 points different. For 11 clubs my reviews were greater than 1.0 points different from the mean. Even though these ratings are entirely subjective I am surprised how far from the average I seem to be as a SC reviewer. For one very popular club my rating was exactly 3 points less than the tuscl rating! That is a real statistical outlier.
Anybody else ever do this exercise? Obviously, I am NOT one of Founder's credible reviewers.

last commentI haven't, but you must remember that a lot of newbies give really high marks to bad clubs, just because they've never been anywhere else.
I was just reading one of my old reviews and noticed that I gave the club 4/6/2, while the person after me gave 10/10/9 and the person before me did 9/10/9. For both of them, it was their only review.

It's all subjective and a matter of taste. Some guys must have DDs and for others a good B or C is just fine.

I agree with Super. However I will also add that I think that the ratings process got a LOT better with Founder's recent changes to the system.

Expectations are also another factor. If you are looking for extras and don't get any, your ratings might skew a little lower than someone who just wants some titties in their face and doesn't care about the rest. For that person their experience was great, for others its a disappointment.

i can be a softie at times but for the most part i have high/tough standards and they're usually reflected by the fact that my ratings are usually lower than the tuscl average.

There are alot of shill reviews by club employees on here. There are also shill reviews trying to hurt the competition. Flag the garbage.

I think a contributing factor is if you're a regular vs if you're a traveler. In many clubs the regulars will get the better experience because their expectations are scaled appropriately, they know which dancers are most suitable for them, and the dancers are comfortable with them and know they're not LE.

I think Founder does a pretty good job of ruling out reviews that are obvious outliers but occasionally a club will jump into the top ten when, IMHO they belong no where near the top, i.e. Lido in Cocoa Beach. Others seem to have fans for reasons that are inscrutable to me, i.e. Brad's Brass Rail in Indy (seriously?). Like you, Art, I think I have developed some standards and am not impressed by the decor or the hotness of the bartender. I am most interested in great LDs. My reviews, and those I care about, are primarily driven by the LDs.

I always notice the number of clubs that a reviewer has written about. If they've only reviewed one club, even if they posted 10 reviews about that club, I pay very little attention to their ratings-- after all they have no comparisons. Even a Yugo (or a Pinto, or a Corvair-- you can add any low end car to this example) might be rated as a great little car if you have no comparisons. I do however read the commentary-- on very rare occasion, a neophyte reviewer includes some interesting descriptions about the quality of lap dances.

It seems freedom of speech is gone from this website. If you tell it like it is, other members try to flag your reviews. Ugghh frustrating!

Why is Scores NYC never rated high on the list? Even back in the day, it wasn't. Say what you want about the club but it made the business more mainstream.

Yeah, I have actually been to Brad's Brass. But you gotta understand, in that area, that club is like Hustler NYC to those people.

Boobie - Your review deserved to be flagged. You let an isolated incident sway your objectivity.
