In my experience, no matter how much I love something, eventually something will happen that will change my interest. I've been in the hobby almost a decade and so far my interest has only increased. Unfortunately, the growing trend of providers to offer their pictures only at an additional cost is more than I am willing to accept. I can't reconcile paying to see photos of someone I most likely may never want to see. Maybe its because I am picky and hate the complication this creates for me in finding the right lady. I don't know. I just know it really irks me. I know for sure that I won't pay for it and if I can't get a sense for the woman's looks (I am definitely not relying on a reviewers description), I won't make any arrangements to see her
a feature that the web designers themselves came up with, they placed it on every ladies web site. Most have turned the feature off and I think some may not even know or haven't figured out how to disable this feature. I had it on my site and got the instructions from another provider.
The providers themselves aren't even getting the money if you did pay, its set up to go to the web designer. escortdesigns.com I switched my site to a new company recently because I think that feature that they added is ridiculous and the way they went about it was very sneaky.
Seems to me to defeat the purpose of the site - to let one know as much as makes sense about a girl. I don't think anybody expects any XXX pictures, but it's good to get SOME idea of what they look like before you sign on, you know?
This is not a good trend.
....dog in the fight.
I have had many gentlemen tell me that they are turned off by having to pay to see additional photos, and they have chosen not to visit those ladies.
I sincerely mean no disrespect to the ladies that choose to charge, but with me, gentlemen seem to prefer a little left to the imagination.
Warm regards,

the website folks said these were "free" sites, probably buried in their terms and conditions it says they can charge for access if they see fit.
It's just a more blatant version of what gmail, yahoo, hushmail, aol and all the other "free" email services do - they make money from something you thought was free. the email providers do it by scanning your email as they display it, and then put up ads that may pertinent to the words in the email. This group just charges for access to the pictures hosted on their server.
I wouldn't pay the price, but I think what the email providers do is much more insidious, as they are keeping track of the subjects in ALL of your emails.
I didn't know that! Hope my site isn't doing that without me knowing :/
WTF is that supposed to mean. Guess it was a joke. Right.
If a lady wants money for me to see her pics I just pass on to another web site. You see the point is that I do not spend time with her.
Guess the small words probably match your small IQ. Next time try being a little less cryptic (you can look that one up). G
Like P411 and others
All a provider has to do is check her website periodically to stop these shenanigans. If the people handling her website are doing this behind her back, I blame her for not keeping an eye on her interests. It's like a business owner who drops in once every 3 months to check up on things. That will not cut the mustard. On the next visit, there will be nothing left of the business, just an empty storefront with a rental sign on the window.
Providers get very bad advice from other providers or web designers that don't know the business in order to make themselves look more exclusive than they are. That's why many girls don't last that long in the business. They adopt bad business practices that don't benefit them financially in the long run and the overhead cost are more than they actually make.
All it takes sometimes is a few emails to a provider letting them know you aren't willing to pay decide if they are your type and they'll get the gist of why their phone isn't ringing.
Many of us have a life outside of this with regular jobs and we would like some bit of privacy. That is why I for one have started taking my face out of things. But paying to see photos in my opinion is pointless. And it isn't a money maker. It might work for some but it isn't something I would recommend.
I mentioned this before concerning these websites. If you notoce a providers site and it says pay for access, try warning her. She most likely has no clue. I am on top of my stuff but others, eh, not so much.
just a fyi, there was a bug on one of those main free escort sites that ended up locking the providers photos unless you were a gold member (paid). the providers didn't choose it. most of them should know about it by now. it happened like a month ago... but if its on that site, odds are she doesn't know and maybe just give her a heads up to check out her website and update what needs to be updated.
if its other sites, well.. yeah. i agree with you 100%. pay to see my photos? I'm pretty sure you look at my photos then decide you want to pay to see them in person.
