Good idea

A lot of attributes are important to me. Among those, I am a sucker for a pretty face. Of course, what I like in a face may not be what someone else likes in a face. And while I can mention specific attributes of a face that I tend to like, more than anything else, it is the overall view that matters.

I see that few providers show their faces in pictures and I completely understand the privacy concern that lies behind the reluctance. So am not going to request face pictures. :-)

Absent a face picture, what I have liked in some session reviews and in some web site profiles of providers is a description of prominent features of a provider's face, combined with a statement that is along the lines of one of the following:

"Provider P's face reminds me of  X"
'Provider P's face has a likeness to a combo of that of X and Y"
"Provider P's face a likeness to Z except for feature D "  
...

where X, Y and Z, even if not celebrities or models or people whose pictures I have not seen before (btw, I have not seen pictures of many celebrities and models anyway :-)), are people whose pictures are available on the Internet with some search.

Am I missing something?

I think that would be very useful, and I have done it in at least one of my reviews. That said, in the reviews where I didn't make such a comparison, none occurred to me. If I try to force it, I am afraid I would come up with:

Provider resembles a shorter, less buck-toothed Nicole Kidman.
Provider looks like Natalie Portman had a genetic love child with Jane Lynch.  
Provider resembles what I think a young Barbra Stanwyk would look like if she were in color, and of Chinese ancestry on her mother's side.  

Hmm, this could be fun.

Thank you. I like the candor and humor in your post - you make a good point regarding cases where a comparison would be labored and not informative too. I looked up reviews written by you and found that I aspire to write like you do. Thank you.

And, it is funny that your response that has an eom in its title shows 16 reads already. I confess I was one among those who dived in to check, just in case there was something to read. On second thoughts though, some of those who dived in may have done so to check your session reviews.

it may be very subjective in the long term.  Hard to describe faces.  Rating system probably better.

I feel the same way, but I don't think your idea would work in most cases. You would go expecting one thing and find your opinion was different than the reviewers.
If it's a big deal, there are plenty of providers who post face pictures. You could always contact a provider and get verified and then ask for photos, some might be OK with that.
There have been a few ladies I have seen that I would rate lower on appearance and some I would rate higher. I have been able to have a good time with them all. I just don't repeat with providers I don't find attractive or just don't "click" with.
As I stated in another post, the ladies are getting more cautious and who can blame them?
