Anyone else frustrated by all the blurred facial pics? I 100% understand the need for discreteness; however I don't want to spin the roulette wheel when I open the door. And, many reviewers are overly generous with ratings. This defeats TER's value to the rest of us, and isn't fair to the providers that deserve high ratings. Is it sleazy to ask for non-blurred photos before booking? Suggestions? And - thank you providers that show non-blurred photos. It makes a huge difference in deciding who to book, and hopefully is good for your business.
I won't share my face photo with anyone because it's incredibly easy to find me on social media by my face lol... Had to remove my smile cus someone recognized me from that alone -_-
I don't want my 2 different lives to ever cross over so I don't send photos of my face to anyone. I love my face I am fucking gorgeous in the face. Not bragging but kinda bragging 
hahaha I hope this makes you smile a little bit lol
Ps: I don't know who's coming to my incall when I receive you so mehhhhh

Naomi,
Looking at your website I personally think you show a tad too much of your face. On what little I can see, I have to agree that your are gorgeous. I think for your own protection you should blur your face out more.
As far as women blurring out their faces, I personally think they should. Unless a woman wants to let everyone that views her website see her face I think a lot of blurring should be used. I choose who I see based on many factors, none of that changes if she happens to be unattractive when I see her. Beauty is different to everyone so you can't go just off of what reviewers say so if I go see someone that looks below what turns me on, I have to decide if our chemistry and time together trumps what she lacks in her face. If it does, I won't see her again, it is that simple.
To me, blurred faces is the price of admission if I choose to see someone that chooses to do so. To all of you ladies that blur yourselves out, I say blur more for your safety........

and that's why you're the coach?
That we want to stay anonymous, but we expect the provider to fully disclose. SMH

But i'm guessing it's not as hypocritical when a provider with blurred pics wants additional information from a client? Like work number, title/position and who to ask for when she calls etc....
I've seen plenty of escorts who blurred their pictures. If you read the reviews many veteran hobbyists will mention that the provider is a looker and you dont have anything to worry about.
I trust a number of veteran guys when they write as we've usually seen the same providers and scored them similarly.
It's not a dead solid lock, but it usually works for me. And btw, I've never asked for a picture. Some will volunteer to send me a picture which I usually accept
Bottom line, if it bothers you, just move on.
A woman who shows her face can be "found" by potential employers in other fields, leading to denial of employment or being fired. This is just one of the hazards that women with unblurred faces face.
Why bitch about things that are beyond our control? I could bitch all day about not getting bareback in P4P, but at the end of the day, I understand why I can't, and bitching about it would do me no good.
You misunderstood. Not bitching. Just trying to avoid being disappointed, which obviously is one of the primary rationales for TER's existence. Simply looking for productive suggestions from fellow members and providers.
Some faces are blurred, some aren't. Like to to see the picture, book with this woman, don't see the pic, don't book. But you already knew it? Xo
Other than that, there's not much you can do.
And yes, it's inappropriate to ask for a face photo if she blurs/crops them in her public photos. If she doesn't show it in her advertising, she's not going to send it out to some rando with no control over what he does with it from there.
He's asking a damn question for Christ sakes!! That's what you call bitching? He's here, he's new, he's asking a question! Jesus H Christ get a life!
Saying shit like that, as simple as it may be, discourages people from posting and we don't get there insight! Myself included

I blur or crop mine for privacy reasons.In my opinion there are some ladies who will send you non-blurred pics after screening has been done.I am not one of those ladies.I rarely have a guy ask for unblurred pics but the few times I was asked I declined.
There are many ladies who do show their face so if a blurred face is a dealbreaker just see someone who shows their face.
Once a provider sends a guy unblurred pics she has no idea what he is going to do with those pics.
Even if he says he will not show them to anyone won't post them anywhere I find that sometimes that is not the truth.
There are guys who can't wait to show other guys and providers an unblurred pic of a provider.I have had guys attempt to show me on their phones/IPads.I am not interested in seeing that but I was thinking to myself this is the exact reason why you do not send unblurred pics to anyone.
Just my .0
I say this having just asked a smokin hottt out of towner about her tats. I really don't need to see any more that what she shares on the Photo Board and her website to want to see her. Mui Caliente!
But still, the stupid question still slipped out. In reality, I want to see this woman's tats from less than 3" away (no reference to my dick). She was polite in her response instead of "hey stoopid, you a noob??
... lol and then mentioned she may be heading nothr this summer.
Anyhoo, I completely agree that photo sharing beyond one's comfort or privacy level is unquestionably a provider's right. She can have friends, family, child(ren), an associate/employer at an IRL job or career that makes all the sense in the world to protect. For what, for whom ... a stranger? I'm generally surprised when I see a full face shit of a provider. But make no mistake, I'll look
From time to time I browse male companions' ads and I definitely prefer to see his face prior to reaching out.
But for me it's not only about physical beauty: it's because I like to think I can sense something of his personality and character by looking at his expression in photos. :shrug:
I definitely prefer those who do have full (facial) frontal shots.... others are on the back-burner, and I generally will try to connect with him on social media, read his blogs, etc to get a "feel" for him prior to making a decision.
Given that I do not show my face in my pics, this preference makes me a hypocrite. Ok. I can live with that. :-P
Doomed for failure, possibly cause ladies to refuse to see you? Yep.
Think about this, please: If I blur or otherwise hide my face in my pics, what sense would it then make for me to hand out full-facial photos?
Now, I'm not saying women's reasons for the things we do are always logical (LOL!) but if I were willing to show my face, wouldn't I have it in my ads to begin with?

NOONER: (noun) A sexual encounter during lunch hour, especially one that is illicit.
I just went through a few days of photos on the "photo only" board and the blurring is so slight that I can see 'what I'm getting'. Yes, it is nice to see the eyes, but agree that safety first. There isn't one photo where I would hesitate seeing a girl because of the blurring....my .02
So that's the reason I keep my pics blurred. I have no inclination people in my office know what I do beside sitting with them in the office. Xo
Although you elaborated on the fact that you do blur your face, would you also have any tattoos and if you did do you make sure your photographer blurs those out too? This question would not be so much for the office but for your civilian friends, who might be male, and are not cognizant of the fact that you are working in this demimonde.
Plausible deniability is a wonderful thing.
I'm not bothered by blurred face pics. Its absolutely a safety and discretion thing and I respect that.
Also in most cases the blurring isn't so bad that you can't get a general idea of what she looks like. I agree with Naomi as well...99% of the time a provider doesn't know what the person is going to look like that shows up for a date!
Happy lobbying
D.
I clearly see the girls point: they're going to have a life after they leave the business and don't want some idiot walking up to them with a shit eating grin,avoiding stalkers and maintaining their own safety should be the first priority.
My personal pet peeve is disguised tats...I don't like them and it's based on my own personal experiences.
Made the mistake of asking someone to describe her's before I booked an appointment...figured it was a better option than having her open the door and me finding I'm not interested...and you'd have thought I'd shot her mother.
There needs to be a balance, what I see on the boards is more attitude than common sense on some subjects.
If you feel like blurred faces is an issue important to you then by all means state it, stand by it and make your choices based on what YOU like...it's your time and money.
my personal preference is no tats... tho i can take one or two tasteful ones.... but when a girl's pix show no tats and her page says "many" i move on...
I wouldn't send my unblurred photo to anybody, because they might be able to use software to trace my real identity.
I used to send a selfie ... NOT one of my website photos, unblurred (yes, somebody has actually asked for that)... but, because of the above reason, I will no longer do so.
I also used to think that if I'd screened a guy, I was generally safe from harm... but just recently, I've had a rash of overly possessive clients, and even one creepy one trying to find out my home address...
I do limit my social media activity, and don't actually post any photos of myself. But occasionally, people will post photos of me.
But, you can always ask. We do get that request a lot, and it's perfectly understandable. As long as you word it politely. Don't come across as demanding or entitled... or like you're insinuating that if she doesn't sent it, you'll assume that she's ugly...
Besides the fact that we have lives outside of this, or aspirations and plans for a future life beyond companionship many hotels keep updated books with local and touring companions to their area.
Front desk staff, as well as security are required to keep an eye out for the women in these ads. Having unblurred photos only helps aid hotel staff to recognizing a lady who may be using their hotel for nefarious reasons, often times causing a phone call to be made to the local LE or being asked to leave the hotel.
Not to mention a new breed of clients who don't respect or understand companionship is fantasy and become obsessed with hunting down everything they can about a lady. And that sadly is becoming the norm. The whole GFE thing has blurred lines for many clients who aren't mature or stable enough to understand, this is a world of fantasy; sold one hour at a time.
Then there is the factor of being outed to family and friends, which has also become almost a new standard.
If you show up and the lady is not to your liking you have the choice to leave.
...and then either meeting those expectations or being happily surprised when you walk in the door (part of the fun can be in finally finding out what she looks like). You think super models look the same in person as their pro shots? Besides, good skills and personality can overcome most any disappointment with physical beauty. Get over it or stick with the smaller selection of ladies who show their face.
Typically they tell you about how she looks.. it's very hazardous for a provider to be emailing their faces willy nilly all over the place.. She owes you zero..
I'm close with someone who used to be a provider.. Her Baby daddy got pics with her face.. she now has issues with child custody.. so wise up & be real..
For me, I am frustrated that I must blur my photos. Most people say my face is my best asset. But in this country, it is dangerous to not blur. I've heard of ladies getting kicked out of places because they were recognized by staff.
On top of that, looks aren't everything. I don't think there are many really high rated providers that are ugly. There are some with inflated numbers probably but if they gave you a really good time, does it matter?
Blurred Photos are not an issue for someone with a holy hell rocking ass body like that!!! Good lawd
Super heavy blur and the lady may have some very strong distinguishing characteristics. By no means does it mean she may not be attractive. Reach out to some of the last reviews.
I do not agree with sending out facial photos, I will not do it nor do I allow film or photo during session. And it is a turn off to be asked as it clearly states on my site that I will not provide any.
Simple, either you gamble or pick reputable providers that do show their face. There are plenty of them.
Best luck

Easy solution, you send a provider your name and an accurate photograph before you meet and ask her to do the same, what could possibly go wrong?
Considering the right to a personal life of providers, their own lives, and possibly careers, outside of the 'hobby' I'm actually surprised that any providers choose to show their faces online or in their listings.
If, when you arrive, the lady's face isn't to your liking you can always make your excuses and leave, or just don't see her again, it's not a matter of life and death!
a few thoughts enter my mind: if a girl's body is super hot, just how gorgeous must her face be to make you hard?
if a girl's skills are off the charts, how gorgeous must her face be to make you hard?
if a girl's personality is great and fun, how gorgeous must her face be to make you hard?
but beyond my admittedly rude snark about your shallowness, i don't know why you don't look at the over all scores of a lady and average them out in your mind. surely not every appearance score a woman got was inflated? can't you get an idea in your mind if a girl's appearance is up to your exacting standards by looking at her scores, tossing out the high and lows as outliers, and make an educated guess?
also, this is where back channels come in. make some acquaintances of fellow mongers, follow their reviews, get a feeling of the level of provider they like, and pm or email them, ask them about specific women. or, as i have often done, read a woman's reviews, and pm her reivewers with specific questions. several mongers are happy to answer back with their opinions. i often get questions from guys i never heard of asking about women i've seen. so not only am i able to impart useful information, i wind up making a great ter acquaintance that will come in handy later.
it amazes me that you're more concerned about a face appearance than a woman's skills... after all, those can only be discerned before a session by reading reviews... you certainly can't get a feeling for her skill level by looking at her picture, blurred or not!
anyway, i apologize for being so blunt and mean, but this is how the game is played and you're kind of asking for a special dispensation just because you don't like one certain rule...the rule of anonymity in public
There are simply too many guys who review that simply appear to have no standards.
It's an acceptable risk for me, I almost always book sessions of only an hour and as long as her body is decent and she isn't "scary ugly" I don't consider it a huge loss if her face is not DDG when I meet her. If her body is not as advertised, something that blurring does not hide, only old pics or photo shopping, IOW if I book with a slim woman but the door opens to a Shamu, then I simply turn around and walk away.
I will confess, I much prefer unblurred accurate face pics, but I also realize the internet is forever and I don't think my "right to know" trumps her right to not have this career rubbed in her face thirty years from now, so I don't bitch about blurred pics.
well whether or not we agree on the path, we both arrive at the same place: you gotta take a look at available research, figure out what your gut says about the lady, and then either take a chance or don't.
i have only been disappointed a handful of times; usually the girl has skillz to take me beyond the physical looks.
and it is not because we are trying to trick you. It is because once we send it, we personally have no control over where it goes. Enough guys have shared info about us that there is no way I would send out an unblurred page. I also found that having a hidden page with unblurred photo's doesn't help either(I used to have one). When I checked the IP addresses that were accessing that page and making sure they matched the same ones sending emails unfortunately I found that many of the IP's were not from guys who ever reached out to me. I even briefly had a password protected page, however again I found IP addresses frm guys who either never emailed me or they had even failed my screening and would never have been given access(thinking they reached out for more info on the guys board or similar and one of my past guests shared the page and password with them). So because there are indiscreet guys, no way! If you really do not like what you see when you open the door, leave. Or close yoour eyes and think about how my lips feel, I will leave that up to you. But unblurred pics, no way.
Now if there were a way to send a pic that could only be clicked 1x and then auto delete from the guys computer and that he would never be able to retrieve it I would be all over that but till then.... Sorry, I don't need my face being out there in the masses and seen by people who have no business seeing my face... That is just me and yes I showed my face for YEARS(from 2001-2010 or so) but never again...
Luckily most people in my personal life are so vanilla they'd never think of looking for anyone they knew on escort sites!
ONLY see girls who show their face...
But then you have to worry about photo editing to the face too - you know - the ability to airbrush out blemishes, goatees, shrink the ears, etc etc...
shrink their ears?
The level of dysphoria some people have doesn't always make much sense lol. But to each their own.
...and I've never been disappointed...
Well, there was that one time, but 5 out of 6 is a good batting average...
You're not sitting by the phone, wringing your hands hoping I'm going to call you?
...I'm...shocked...
wait until you start seeing the ones who take pics while they're standing on trees lol. truly hilarious lol
I've gotta' see this lol!
Most hobbyists whom have hired a woman with blurred face pics will state the woman looks gorgeous. I trust the guy is not lying to save his own face from having hired a butter face.
...good idea I think. I have found a way to see them before "seeing" them however.
I know this may not be possible for everyone and it probably does depend on your location but I began attending Meet & Greets in my area about 2 years ago. I always go with a list in my mind of ladies I want to meet because they have gotten my attention here on the boards with photos, ads, etc. I then leave the Meet & Greet with a list that I know I will attempt to see in the near future. Since I began doing this I have always seen the lady's face and confirmed the photos are accurate and up to date before ever having a session with her.
I prefer face/distinguishing marks removed as I don't really want to take a girl out in public if she is internet famous as an escort. I do sometimes take them to work events. From lady's perspective I couldn't imagine not blurring unless she was 100% sure this was her career forever and didn't have personal entanglements.
I just look at reviews and get a feel for it plus don't see women who may be borderline for my preferences.
Discretion is appreciated by "gentlemen". There are different classes of John's, as with hookers. Don't be a twerp and ask for a facial pic of she blurs. That's being a moron all the way around. Find your balls and do a 180 at the door of her face doesn't suit you. A scared man never wins... In Vegas anyway.
Isn't that the same argument hookers use when guys refuse to provide screening info?
Well guys, you can't have it both ways, It only takes one BSC hooker to ruin your life forever, and guess what guys? It only take one sick, twisted or simply careless john to ruin a lady's life forever. If she doesn't want her unblurred pictures out there in public, why would she trust a complete stranger with them? Moron is right, use your fucking brains, and like CCC just said, if she is a "two bagger" when you get there, grow a fucking pair and simply walk. Trust me, it's not that hard to do.
In fact, I was recognized by a neighbor who lived in my apartment complex. He was also an extreme hobbyist as well and watched the ads very closely. *shudder*
Nonetheless, I show my face and maintain a regular vanilla job. Honestly, I don't give two fucks but then again . . . I look completely different in the real world. However, if someone was to link my RW ID to my provider ID, I would be ashamed, yet amazed at the actions that the individual took to 'out' me.
Also, on facial recognition . . . its a fucking joke really. If you've ever had a mugshot taken, it would be much easier for LE to pinpoint you by fingerprints or IP address. IJS.
No matter how much you blur/crop your face, a dedicated stalker could still find you
