"Provider Ads without photos"
 
   Now and then I have come across a new provider ad that does not have photos to accompany their text ad.

Now a long time ago, pre-Internet, myself and I'm sure quite a few of the "more mature" members use to look thru the different newspapers. Specifically for me , I would view the Berkeley Barb and the Spectator newspapers to browse ads. Most all of them never had photos and they really had to write well in order for me to commit to a appointment. There were ads where you actually had to write to them and send it to a PO box thru "slow-mail" (stamped envelope!) You obviously had to wait for a response - if you ever did?!

I'm confident to say that most of you new members would not even consider seeing a provider without photos in their ad. "IF" you were to consider it, what would prompt you to make an appointment with a provider who did not provide photos?

Just curious please!

Thank you for your responses!

   I have mixed feelings about this. Some girls, I think, have a lot to worry about in terms of family, co-workers, probation officers or whatever seeing their pictures. Even with the face blurred it could be an issue.

Obviously, seeing a picture makes decision making easier assuming it is recent and real. Those, of course, are big assumtions.

If you are attracted by an ad without a picture, perhaps you could ask the girl to email you one or something. I'd use a gmail or yahoo account for this, since you don't personally know the girl. Just a thought.

I had a provider friend reccomend me for a new provider's first "date". We talked on the phone and she asked me if I would like a picture of her. I trusted my friend's judgement, but I said sure, why not. She texted me a pic and it was a full body nude shot. Also, she was smoking hot. Otherwise, I would not see a provider without a photo.

I hate it when they e-mail me a body shot with no face.
Could be any woman. Would never go for it.

IMHO, girls have very valid reasons for posting ads without pictures. But I have every right to ignore said ads, which I do.

I also understand why some girls want/need to either provide only body shots or blur out their faces, but again, while I respect their right to do so, I likewise will ignore those ads. Many, many women believe that faces don't matter to guys; that all we care about is what the tits and ass look like. And many, many women are dead wrong. No amount of hotness in the body can make up for an ugly face - hence, I need to see your face.

   Most pics of asian providers I've seen employed some means of obscuring her face. Some showed only back side, some face forward but crop off head, some crop off at the mouth, some pixelate the face and others show varying degrees of blurring the face. Hiding the face in some manner is better than using a fake pic. And blurring the face is better (for us) than the other methods of hiding the face. At least if they don't blur too heavily, we can make out some detail of the face and can tell if she is pretty or not. Most use fake pics or employ some method to obscure the face to avoid being recognized by friends and family. If the girls don't feel confident that their identity is safe, they might not work here and we'll be left with high priced escorts who want references and screen. So blurring the face seems to be the best compromise IMO.

I won't see a provider who doesn't have pics of herself without a TOFTT report with a VERY detailed description of her. Same for providers who have fake pics or pics with the head mostly cropped off. I need to be able to see some detail of the whole face to determine if I find her pretty or not.

I doubt that I would ever get to the text of an ad that did not have a picture of their body (presuming its not a fake). I understand the need to to keep their face out for discretion. But no picture at all I'm done looking at their ad!

In those days, GFE was assumed. It was the default.

Spectator meets had a high rate of success. They were far more personal and less business like.

The problem with modern ads sans photos is this -- pics are now the default, so if an ad lacks pics, there is usually a reason for it, and that reason's likelihood to be negative is so strong that it's not worth the taking the chance for financial or numerous safety reasons.

Be the change

It would have to be the same reasoning behind seeing a provider using fake pictures of a known porn star. They had better be new and offering a toftt discount. Then we always have the option to refuse at the point of sale. I have been pleasantly and unpleasantly surprised, in equal measure; and have skipped out when necessary.

Do I really have to ask you two more times?

   Rave reviews!!!

I lurked here for years before I began posting. My observation is the majority of the Redbook brethren are trustworthy and provide accurate reviews. So I would visit sight unseen if there were enough sparkling reviews. Sometimes I eliminate the best and worst review and see what is left.

Maybe at one time. I find that a 'low' score on a 10 point scale is 7 or 8. Or it is a trash review, and the highest they get is a 2.

Neither is particularly useful. These days I am back to throwing darts.
