Yes, I am using an alias on purpose, but I wanted to pose a question to the group: Which of the following four do you find acceptable?

1. A Provider on Eros who is posting totally fake photos? (Example: I seen ads for a provider using Coco's (Ice-T's main squeeze)or Bria Myles (Internet Model) photos. I didn't find any reviews on TER for them. Or, look a few posts down for other examples.

2. A Provider who has TER reviews but uses new photos (claims them to be recently updated), but the photos can be traced back to photo houses like I-Stock and represent a lady much younger then the provider actually is.

3. A Provider who has TER reviews, but hasn't updated their photos in years and the lady opening the door no longer looks like the lady from the photos.

4. A Provider who posts Ads on TER (no reviews that I can find) and may have photos of herself and stock photos intermixed in her portrait gallery (1/3 stock and 2/3 possibly real.

Now, I am leaving out the professional and glam photos from this discussion which are adjusted for lighting and skin blemishes.

Well, what does everyone think?

Have been the victim of fake photos, most of the time I just leave, but a few times I have stayed. Some ladies use fake photos to hide their true identity, even though they are attractive, still not a good idea. Atleast with fake photos you can walk away in the beginning.

My worse experiences have been with airbrushing it is just like buying a of "Screaming Eagle 1994" and there is "Night Train September 22, 2010" in the bottle. When I see photos from "MeeShee Photography I never see that provider. She is the airbrush queen. With airbrushing you don't know until it is too late.

It's like asking which is more acceptable:
1. Poke in the eye
2. Kick in the balls
3. Sandpaper on hemorrhoid
4. A multi-hour date with me

Basically all options suck...and really aren't options at all.

I mean, I've experienced 1, 2 and 3 I know is just painful. But #4...I think that is up in the air until someone tries it.

Whats your rate?

Anything less is unacceptable.

BTW Sunny, those pics in November are going to be fabulous...I already know

None of these things are acceptable. It is up to us, the consumer to walk away and impact the bottom line when they do these things. Unfortunately, we are hormonally driven creatures and most often don't make the correct decisions in these situations.

I have recently contacted a provider regarding item #4 after the OP brought it to my attention (good work, OP).  It was very ambiguous at best, as the pictures in question never really showed her body or face, they were more like filler, artsy stuff (who has time for artsy?). There is no doubt in my mind that the pictures of her are actually her, but I think is these instances it's best to remove anything that could cause even the smallest bit of doubt.

And no, I'm not using the emoticon as a playful devil.

For those of us not running scams, nothing wrong with professional pics. Mine will be out in late November. I will not release any airbrushed photos even though they will be done by a professional. There are real, legitimate providers who are great dates, do why do you need any other option????

Sunny

Any photos that are used should be actual photos of the person. The photos should be somewhat recent and provide a true representation of what the lady looks like. Fake pics are never acceptable. I personally think a woman should change the pics on her advertisement/website every couple of months. Nothing wrong with having a gallery of older pics but have some recent ones out there please.

The ladies who are honest about their looks are the one's that will get repeat and loyal clients.

I generally get new photos every 3 months. Sometimes the photos are just with a digital camera and recently a professional photographer.  The only thing that is done, if at all, is the lighting.  All the creases, etc. are still there. No misrepresentation...no scamming...

Plus, for now, I am not getting new photos for awhile since I have been working out..

But why waste your time???? Find a lady that is reputable...

Well said sunny.

I think that most of us that have been doing this for awhile have done/found all 4.   none of which are acceptable!!!    If a provider misrepresents herself, she will eventually be out of business.....or down to such a low common denominator she is the same as gone!!!     I know I have fell victim to these.....but I am much wiser (and yes older) than that now and don't make those mistakes!!!!!!

remind me to leave the watermark off my photos

In terms of the style of photos, it's up to the subject how she wants to look and how she wants to present herself. As a photographer, that's what I deliver, within reason.
