Smooci Advertiser Thread

Hi all,

I used Smooci 2 times in Bangkok. The site is very good, the girls performed well (it was weenee and beer), but I have to say that the photos are very very photoshoped.

Thanks.

The photoshopping is definitely an issue. We have discussed it here in detail, it's an industry problem which we are very conscious off and are working hard to find the best solution for our platform.

We have a few ideas we are working on and one which we are getting close to put into action. I'm optimistic that within the next month we will have an update that will let users know how accurate photos are.

The SMS verification takes away all those issues allowing us to instantly verify a booking in a widely accepted way, virtually cut out fake bookings, and have bookings confirmed in seconds with a low rate of cancellation.

Thanks for the reply. You partially answered my question in that, yes, it's required. Sadly, I won't find out if its better as I won't be using the service anymore.

The SMS verification makes the bookings a lot quicker to confirm and greatly reduces the possibility of double bookings, booking cancellations, and fake bookings, while speeding up communication in general.

An email verification only confirms a point of contact, it isn't enough to confirm that a booking is genuine (we were getting a high number of fake bookings). So after receiving email verification, which can take 5-10 minutes, most agencies then require us to confirm the hotel / location and name before sending the details to the agency to confirm the booking. In all this can take about 5-15 minutes, with the user waiting for confirmation and the chance the booking will fail due to booking clash.

Smooci.

I was in Bangkok recently, on 2 cnd March, and decided to try this new service. I had doubts about the descriptions and photos. So I decided to trust the rating system. I chose J-Net who had a rating of 4. 4 at the time and the cost was less than some of the other escorts. The booking system appeared to be working efficiently on my smart phone, as shown in the Smooci blog. I also got a telephone call from the agency to confirm the booking. The progress shown was disjointed and the time to arrival changed abruptly from 23 minutes to 5 minutes, as she travelled on the Sky Train to Asoke Station. Within the 5 minutes she was in my room. The escort performed to my satisfaction. Within about ten minutes of the escort leaving I received an e-mail inviting me to rate my experience. I gave her a good overall rating although I thought she looked slightly better in her photos. The system appears to have worked in this case, apart from the interruption in showing progress.

Later, on 05th March. I chose Oli, who had a rating of 4. 5 at the time and the cost was under 3000 bht. I received messages as shown on the Smooci blog. I also got a telephone call from the agency to confirm the booking. The progress was shown as she travelled on the Sky Train to Asoke Station and the hotel at T21. The escort performed to my satisfaction and she looked better than her photos. I gave her a good overall rating.

Overall the Smooci rating system has served well, the escorts lived up to their ratings, on these two occasions, and I enjoyed contributing to the rating system.

I'm writing here instead of emailing Smooci app in case other members have the same question in mind.

I read on your blog you now have 'switched to an SMS verification and notification system, which will make bookings faster and easier to confirm'. Is that optional or required for bookings? How is that making things easier for us? For Agencies maybe, if they want it to be completely automated. For ME, I thought the way it was working was fine. My experience with Smooci one night: I booked, got a call within minutes from the agency letting me know that unfortunately she had to cancel. Back to smooci, made another appointment with different agency for different girl. Again, few minutes later another call (also to make sure I am where I said I am) and this time the rep from the agency confirmed the booking and asked if I had any special requests, nice. Tracked my companion on the smooci site, arrived on time, reviewed her on same afterward and I was happy.

Personally it was working fine for me. I would rather not give out my personal cell phone. I don't want any record of texts and I don't want to chance getting updates or texts when not in Bangkok. You will say the number will never be shared, will never be used except for that booking alone but I will not feel secure, and I don't want to buy / rent another cell / sim. Will make me seriously reconsider using the service in future if this is a must as your blog suggests. Besides, won't the agency still call the hotel and room number I provide to ensure that I am where I say I am? I think they would, in which case its duplicated. And if I was a dick and just wanted to waste people's time, couldn't I make a booking from say Alaska and send some poor girl to some address in Bangkok. If my cell is roaming or I'm actually in Alaska you have no way of knowing. The agency will still call the hotel to confirm I guess or the links will allow you to find me by GPS? I like that even less. Many guys will prefer it, no doubt, many I suspect will not.

Am I missing something? I hope I am because I am loving the smooci concept and I have a short list of gals I've been compiling (that keeps getting longer as I read posts in other threads here BTW, thanks guys, great sharing!) that I plan to book with smooci but if this is the way it has to be, I would rather pay more to deal with the agency directly.

Thanks.

J.

The 2 hour rate for Smooci is lower that the rate advertised by the respective agencies.

For extended time from 4 hours to 24 hours, the gap Smooci / angencies gets even bigger. Some girls offering Bht 7,000. - for 24 hours. (agency price Bht 5,000/2 h).

Still one escorts keeps a high price, Bambi: Bht 20,000 for 24 h. (agency price Bhr 30,000 Bangkok dream girl escort).

Can anybody inform us if this price is justified? She has a 4. 7 rate.

The rating system of Smooci is great. It helps everybody to improve. You only improve what you measure!

Is the Smooci rating an average of all feedbacks, or only the last 10 feedbacks for example. The latter would be more efficient / motivating as it would show the improvements form the escort.

At the moment the companion score is the average of all rating scores recieved.

Regarding the testing of companions, this is down to the individual policy of each agency. All the agencies we have accepted onto our platform are experienced and we would expect them to test girls regularly and remove or suspend girls who flagged up with negative results. You would need to contact the agency directly to know their exact testing policy and when girls were last tested.

It might be just a matter of semantics and I'm sure most readers knew what you meant. But just in case there are any men and women reading this who are unfamiliar with what an Anti-HIV or STD blood check test result document looks like, "negative" is most definitely the result you want to get and see on that document.

Perhaps there is some varience from testing clinic to testing clinic, but at the Thai Red Cross testing clinic, the words "negative" and "non reactive" are how they report that they found no traces or evidence of HIV and / or STIs.

Also both times the girls were from agencies and unfortunately with both girls during the first sessions the condom broke. So I was curious to know whether you ensure with the agencies that their girls are tested though they both said they do so every 3 months but only after I persistently enquirer. Thanks in advance for a quick reply as I'm a bit worried.

Yes, condoms break occasionally, but twice in a row is a bit freaky? The right type of lube must be used. Oils are not considered suitable. Obviously there is fingernails, and a definite danger is girls having a sponge stuffed up the vagina which can cause abrasion on a condom.

[SmoociApp]

I have booked twice with your app and I must say it is definitely useful and I plan to use it more in the coming days. However when I booked the services I did not get the services as quoted (DFK, etc). Is that normal?

Hi Sum12,

You should always get the services quoted. And if you don't, please make sure to fill out the review and comment on it.

We currently rely on the comments to monitor and verify the accuracy of the photos and services listed for a companion. The companions / agencies are responsible for filling out the companion profiles correctly, and we are trying to increase that responsibility by making agency ratings visible and giving the agencies and companions regular feedback. Now that the agencies and companions are starting to understand the importance of the ratings and taking responsibility we are also going to start introducing a stricter warning and banning system to raise the standards.

If a companion is getting low reviews and we see a common complaint in the comments that the companion isn't performing the services they offer on their profile, then we will give them the option to remove these services or start performing them consistently. And if the low ratings continue with the same complaints then they will be suspended and ultimately banned if it continues on their return.

Regarding the testing of companions, this is down to the individual policy of each agency. All the agencies we have accepted onto our platform are experienced and we would expect them to test girls regularly and remove or suspend girls who flagged up with negative results. You would need to contact the agency directly to know their exact testing policy and when girls were last tested.

I think you have very little to be worried about, not only would the girls be tested regularly but we only accept agencies and companions who actively promote safe sex.

Hi,

Just wondering how does a 12 HR & 24 HR service work? I'd like to book soon.

Thanks. Sammy.

Hi Sammy,

I'm not sure what you are asking. 12 HR and 24 HR bookings working in the same way a 1 or 2 HR booking would. You can make the booking up to 4 hours in advance and follow the same process. Some companions won't offer a 12/24 HR experience and therefore won't show in the result, but every companion who shows in the results will be happy with spending extended amounts of time with their clients.

If you have any specific requirements, such as you expect to attend a nice restaurant or plan to go swimming, etc, you can add the appropriate notes on the booking form, so that the companion is prepared.

One personal tip: Chemistry is key to a lot of long term bookings (of more than 4 hours), so if you are looking for a specific type of person / personality, I would suggest to either enquiry with the agency to gage learn a little more about the character of your prefered companion, or better yet, make a shorter time booking of 2-4 hours, and then extend it needed. While some companions may not be able to extended their time with you, many will, and it's easier trying to extend a short booking to be a long one, than the other way around.

Just a quick update:

We have added agency ratings. These can be found in brackets next to the agency name when you go into a companion's profile, and in brackets next to the agency name when you view the drop down within the filter.

Agency ratings are the combined average score of all the companions listed by the said agency. The idea of showing an agency rating encourages the agency to take responsibility for all the companions it lists. It also gives a little more info for the user when booking a companion, which may be particularly helpful when booking a new companion who is without a rating score (yet to receive their first 3 ratings).
