If you have a photo of yourself out on the internet somewhere, you can use that one. Since it is essentially public, anyone could have copied it, so that gives you plausible deniability if it were used for blackmail. It's unlikely to be a match in a reverse photo search if someone is trying to RL ID. That works better on more famous people who's pictures are spread around more.
Yes as someone said before anyone can steal your public or even private photos posted anywhere , selfies with okay or peace signs or thumbs up should never be requested
The main reason I ask is because there have been many times someone else was using a stolen photo in my early years
The other reason is so I know who to open my door for as many have gone to my door by accident who aren't there for my services instead are there for something more on the "muggle" side of business,
I also have had friends get attacked by clients , weapons heald up to the body and what not .. who only verify by providers that only okay johns whom they don't even like , we learnt over time whom not to take referrals from ... pretty shitty (reason why I don't take referrals anymore u less they can prove they are of retirement age)
But yes some of us will need your selfies ,
But we aren't going to force anyone to do soemthung they are uncomfortable with , I'd only wish to work with those who are confident enough to do research on a provider and trust us ,
Some of us even have ways you can read reviews and follow our social media etc.
If it makes u that uncomfortable just don't, and it's fine
But please don't book and cancel "last minite"
And last min can mean different to every provider so just read their rules and etttiquette
I ask for one. It is to confirm the person I booked with is the same person that comes through the door. I also really dislike blind dates, so I like to have a general idea of what to expect. And no, it has nothing to do with determining if I find you attractive or not. This was another thread on here that I had to debunk.....
