What's your preference?

the real deal (and I understand why a provider would not want to post her real identity), I would prefer to see blurred over photoshopped.  To me, the blurring is merely a privacy statement, while the photoshopping is often an outright misrepresentation.

I can honestly and uncategorically state that if I were to rank all my experiences, the ones with girls who post up-to-date unblurred photos beat blurred faces by about a 10 to 1 margin.

To put it another way, it's been a Lonnnngggg time since I thought wow, what a pleasant surprise

Because that means she's not a risk taker and while taking risks is often a good thing, in this world it's akin to dogs chasing cars.

I noticed a lady posting her photo on the photo only board lately. She has the face of Frankenstein and she would scare the shit out of me if I opened the door and was not ready for it

I'm just unusual  

and PS I have never been anything but pleasantly surprised.  Reviews help with that.  And I kind of like the element of mystery when the door opens.   But then again, I'm probably in the 1% who think like this.

and has less fear of being outed. That can make for a sexy yet down to earth personality.

I might agree if you argued that a provide that shows her face has a "nothing to lose" attitude which could be dangerous

Most of the surprises we get are of the UNPLEASANT variety.  And not just in the "looks" department.  Ex:  CBJ!

Thank you rsage & no prob your response was super nice compared to the rude and mean replys I see people post on here daily lol

Sadly, this is still illegal, so there's always a lot to lose, so that's a risk for her and potentially me too. I much prefer someone who is particularly careful as opposed to someone who is more casual about it.

If I see a lady advertising with her face blurred I'm more likely to believe that the woman I'm seeing in the picture is the one who will open the door to me.

Even an unblurred picture can be so airbrushed as to bear little relevance to whoever claims it is theirs.

Ultimately is it that much of a problem?

If you don't like the look of a provider you can just politely make your excuses and leave, or go through with it and decide not to see her again. Worst case scenario you're down some money and have plenty of material for your next post on the forum!

I understand where you are coming from I heard this before it makes you a target for le and crazy stalkers. I admire ladies who show their face to be honest but Im very private (scorpio issues). I'm like if I'm not working don't come up to me saying hi Lexi

What about tattoos? I have a few but I blur those out of my pictures along with my face because it would be pointless to blur my face but show the tattoos

Tattoos are every bit as identifying as facial features, I agree it makes no sense to blur your face for privacy reasons, but then be easily identifiable to anyone because of a distinctive tattoo or tattoos.

I would suggest that you add a couple of lines to your ads and web pages that you do have tats, but that they are blurred out for privacy reasons. Some guys are simply not fans of ink on a woman and feel deceived if you show up having tats when they aren't not expecting them. I am not one of those guys, but there are many TER members that are and some of them are not above writing a bad review on you just because you have a tat or two they weren't expecting.

anything that can be used to ID you is fair game for blurring:  tattoos, piercings, moles, wart on your ass, nose-hairs, whatever!  Lets face it, most providers, indie or agency, don't tell their friends or family what they do for a living, so a little privacy is expected.

When comes to tattoos, some guys don't like them, so you should make sure that your profile discloses them rather than have some guy go off on you about it once he gets there.
