As I look through ads for providers in Europe (primarily Italy), it seems that the majority of providers would be solid 10's (some even 20's) in appearance compared to providers in the US here on TER. That makes me very suspicious.
Any idea as to how often fake photos are used in European provider ads and websites?
When I switched to hobbying primarily in Europe the thing that surprised me the most was the number of websites advertising extremely gorgeous women. I can't comment on Italy specifically, but I found that photoshop use is rampant and nearly all websites use it generously. If we break down agencies into two groups, ones that show full face pics on their website and those that don't, my general experience has been the following:
1. Full face pics on public website: These are heavily photoshopped, when the woman shows up you can tell she is the person in the pictures, but not nearly as gorgeous. Someone from her civilian life may not see the resemblance, but you will see just enough to be convinced she is the person in the pictures (best case scenario).
2. Agencies/Websites that conceal the face: In Europe, when booking, I discovered that it is pretty standard to request via e-mail pictures of the women you are thinking of booking (some even have private sections for existing customers with full facial pics). In these cases you get full pictures, and while there is some photoshopping, it is much less than the previous case I mentioned, and when the woman turns up she is in fact quite gorgeous. These are high end agencies where I typically book a person for two days at a cost of about 4000-4500
If they are showing you pics of supermodels at rates of 150 euros per hour, then they are probably heavily photoshoped/fake. However, places like Prague would be an exception to this rule.
Hope that helps.
