It is just not practical for a provider to send you pictures. I am not saying no one will do it. I have heard of a few providers who will. But I certainly don't. Please understand my reason. I have had pictures lifted from my website and posted all over. If I ever saw my face picture posted on one of these copycat sites, I would go ballistic. My desire for discretion is big. When I am not working, I am a perfectly normal person, a mom with a life that I want to protect.

When you saw the provider who was older than you wanted, did she advertise her age? If yes, did she look like the age she was advertising?

I don't know why some providers advertise that they are younger than they really are. I am in my early 50's and I say so on my website. I am doing just fine. Lots of gentlemen want to see a lady my age. Perhaps if you search for ads using the term "authentic", you will get a better result. This word denotes that the provider wants to  show you her true self. So the way she portrays herself in her marketing is the way she really is.

If you were to ask me for a picture, it would not be a deal breaker, but it would be one point against you in my screening. I would think that you are perhaps not serious about getting together. Maybe you are a pic collector.  

At any rate, good luck with your adventures.

Best case, you end up annoying her or she doesn't respond. Worst case, she blacklists you. The vast majority of providers blur their faces because of safety concerns. If you have a 'vanilla' job, you don't want it to be known that you are an escort and also certain hotels employ facial recognition software and may decline the reservation if you are a sexworker.  

I've on occasion had gentleman ask for my photo and I respond that it is not possible. The provider doesn't know you, you may go on some local board and post it for all to see. You could do any number of things with it. So please respect a lady who chooses not to show their face. If not seeing a lady's face causes that much anxiety for you, choose a lady who doesn't use blurred photos. They are plenty out there.

I wouldn't send it. As another poster mentioned, someone could potentially use facial recognition software to find other photos of me online (I don't post any photos of myself, but other people/organizations have posted photos of me... some have tagged me in Facebook photos, etc.).  

Also, we don't know what you'll do with it. Will it make the rounds of your hobby buddies (some of whom might just be random dudes you've messaged with a few times)? Will it wind up being posted on a discussion board, or some malicious blog?

Too many downsides... very little upside.  

With that said, some (very few) providers might be open to such a thing. However, I'd ask only after you've been screened. Also, be prepared for a 'Sorry, no.' Or even for her to cut off contact.  

In the past, posters have advised browsing reviews to see if there is a mention of facial beauty... or, PMing some recent reviewers
