I'm just wondering, is it less risky to visit a locol provider that does not show their face on the pic of their ad than one that does. I'm asking because im thinking of seeing this loc. prov here in NOVA where you can see her face on the pic. She only has 5 reviews here, but they are not bad, does why i was thinking of seein her. Am I taking a big risk by seeing her, since any of her neighbors can see its her and report her to LE, or am i making to much of a big deal out of this.
But, you need to be comfortable. If it doesn't feel right, even just to your newbie sensibilities, then maybe you should keep looking. At some point, you'll feel confident to dive in, but it's not something you should do half-cocked (pun intended)
pics or not, risk is probably the same... many providers choose not to post facial pics to keep their privacy intact a bit for a lot of personal reasons.
In the scenario you are describing above, the chances of any her neighbors going to her website, recognizing her, and then calling the cops, and having the cops show up at the exact moment you are there are slim and none...and slim has left the building. You get the idea. There is absolutely no more inherent risk if she shows her face or not. If you are comfortable with the reviews, then I say go for it. But if you are still not sure, then seek out a provider who hides her face on her website. If you follow your gut instincts, you will have a safe and fun time as a hobbyist.
