Alright, who the fuck got hold of BSR's password?
Redman,
As one who occasionally strays across the line dividing AMPs and SWs, I guess I have solved the rating problem (in my feeble little mind) by grading on a curve.
There are many that see an Asian woman as the ultimate fucking machine. I am included in that lot (hence my handle). However, I have attempted to expand my horizons and tastes, and I have been able to effectively do so. Now the white female, the only kind I sought after as a kid, is about fourth in my taste preference--after Asian, Hispanic, and Black ladies. Go figure, but this kind of preference colors the judgement as much as mongervision, making any ratings a personal subjective thing.
AMPS, Strippers, and Escorts are IMHO, expected to be a higher calibre.
The lower tier are SWs and Craigslist girls, and I guess there is about a two point curve I give them... Except at the higher end, where I give them only 1 point to keep from handing out 10's or 11's. (SW's like Essence, Special and the infamous India are true gems) I feel we are lucky in DC, some of the finest quality SWs I have had the pleasure of sampling.
So how does it work? A "7" AMP girl would be about an "8" or "9" on the street and vice versa... I have to agree with you that a "5" on either scale is the lowest I can go when not impaired or desperate to bust a nut... Yes, a "4" in an AMP is like a "6" on the street, but with the average quality and accessability of AMP girls we have here, Atlanta, SanFran, LA, Chicago, etc; why the hell would you accept an average looking woman? Same goes for a stripper or escort, but that is significantly money driven. If I'm going to pay those prices, I expect quality. OTOH, when on those mean steets, you rarely see anything better than a "6" so you gotta take what you can get...
In a bar they serve the basic well brand until you ask for top shelf or extra reserve. In tequilla terms, you see each brand has the regular "silver" stuff, Repasado, and Anejo, and it just keeps getting better. Occasionally you see the special reserve bottles, but the shit is hard to find and very spendy. Sure wish they would label women like that, so you have a clue what you are getting into before you take them to bed...
Oh, that's what this board is for, silly me.
As always YMMV
LoveLOS
