I cannot answer for the people who posted the photos, but as I said earlier, I imagine it was show photographic proof that people do find bodies outside of the conventional standard of beauty to be just as beautiful since those models have been featured in high fashion magazines, sports illustrated (one was a cover model of the swimsuit edition), etc.
I have been thinking about this for a long time. My comments are promted by the discussion regarding Paige Savage in a recent thread. My idea is that a current selfie should be included in any provider ad or website. This could help prevent customers from being " mislead" by outdated photos.
I have nothing negative to say about Ms Paige. However, the picture of her in black under garments
in the recent discussion is quite different than her pictures on various websites, including her own.
I think a current selfie would go a long way to help a customer make a choice.
I hope to read some serious and thoughtful comments on my idea.
The first is that it's pertinent to truly read what someone is saying. The photos of the women in the black undergarments in the thread you are referencing are not of me. I thought that would be clear since both of those women have a much lighter skin tone than I have and are much taller. They are of models, one I'm not sure who, the other is world famous Ashley Graham. Two separate individuals posted photos of legitimate plus size models who have been published in both high-fashion magazines and Sports Illustrated, like Ashley Graham, to prove their point about beauty coming in different shapes and sizes.
The second point is that many of us maintain a social media presence where we post current and up to date selfies. Some providers even have premium content sites you can join.
Suffice to say, I think it may be more important for clients to do their due diligence when determining which provider they want to visit, including viewing their Instagram, Twitter, and/or premium content site. I think it may also serve us well to remember the "Golden Rule" and recognize that we all do not like the same things.
I understand your point. I am just saying that a current selfie could help a customer do his
"due diligence". especially when you make the effort to post ads on websites. Many people avoid social media, for a variety of reasons. In any event, no
hard feelings.
It is worth saying that you don't have to have a social media account to view the profiles unless they are private. You can easily see profiles that are public without an account.
I don’t think it’s any stretch, to expect a reasonably current accurate picture.
Now with that said do I expect much to change , no not really, it’s all about marketing.
And while not all cases , if you show up at dealership expecting to test drive a certain make , model of car . They pull a switch , you walk away , no consequences . This arena . There can be consequences. And not very favorable depending on the individual. That’s the problem!!! And that shit needs to correct.
Selfies push that , the ho’s will make counter offer wanting them, hell some already ask already. Minority as it may be , you want the majority asking the same???
The poster is a fucking troll that started that topic. I think people should be able to perform their own research on what people look like before deciding to invest money into time with someone
Then why post it
I cannot answer for the people who posted the photos, but as I said earlier, I imagine it was show photographic proof that people do find bodies outside of the conventional standard of beauty to be just as beautiful since those models have been featured in high fashion magazines, sports illustrated (one was a cover model of the swimsuit edition), etc.
So are you saying , you yourself didn’t post, the photos? Someone on your behalf did?
Well even if true , what you have no control of your brand, your business and how it’s represented in the ads?
Sorry but that’s no excuse if it’s not a pretty close representation of what the client has standing in front of him.
I apologize as I think I get what you're trying to ask but it's coming out rather jumbled. Suffice to say, I handle all of my admin - from posting ads, ad copy, maintaining my website, social media, only fans, etc. Therefore, I have control over my brand. According to fashion and beauty standards, curvy refers to a waist-hip differential of .75. Based on my measurements, my "body type/build" should be listed as curvy; and while I would like to change it, because I recognize that most men (keyword: most) have no clue about all of this, I choose to be listed as plus size so there are zero surprises.
In regards to the photos of the plus size models posted in the other thread, I'm not sure what you're implying there. No matter what, if someone wants to compare me to Ashley Graham, I'm not angry about it in the slightest. She's stunning. However, my body shape has been more often compared to IG Model, Brianna Amor.
I appreciate the ongoing feedback about my body and my brand. I've read it, sat with it, and even talked to my personal trainer about it. At this time, there is nothing I can do but control what I can control and work on improving me as I see fit.
I wish you and everyone else a Happy Thanksgiving.
Appears her reviewers were not disappointed in her looks or performance as they rated her right up there with some of our finest well known ladies.
I stand firmly corrected , yo are in the right , upon revisiting conversation. My apologies .
Now from this exchange , what anyone that has interest in spending time with you knows , it’s 100% you , when engaging in all aspects .
So indeed your brand is in good standing from this end .
The two posters clearly stated these were examples of curvy women who like Paige are attractive. (NOT HER) Now you take their postings and turn it into something she did . They did nothing for or against her brand.
I have not seen Paige but honestly believe that after looking at her adds she will look as close or closer to her picks as a large percent of the providers on the photo board.
Maybe you are looking for the no makeup just out of the shower look.

Why are you trying so hard to defend Ms Paige?
My initial post was to discuss the possible use of selfies to help a customer make a provider decision.
It was not about reviews or Ms Paige's appearance.
Again, the question was about the use of selfies in
general.
because although the initial post is inquiring about the use of selfies, the initial post also included "I have nothing negative to say about Ms Paige. However, the picture of her in black under garments in the recent discussion is quite different than her pictures on various websites, including her own." Therefore, a logical person would not only answer your question but also address the hole in the initial argument.
You obviously missed the point of my original post. I was trying to get an adult discussion going about the pros and cons of current selfies.
And many providers do make a point of putting out new pics fairly often. I doubt you'll get a new one every time one of the ladies runs an ad. Furthermore, how would you necessarily know the picture is current?
Your right. You wouldn't know. I'm just saying a selfie might , at least, be another tool for the customer to use in decision making. My experience has shown me that too often website or ad pictures are not current enough to be reliable.
Thank you for your thoughtful response. Thoughtful
comments on this forum are hard to come by.
Look lets make it simple some girls post pics that flatter them or are nothing what they really look like. Its happened to all of us, no matter how much research you do.If its incall i will walk away, outcall i tell sorry but your not the girl you represented give 20 for gas and say goodby.It sucks that they wasted both of our times.
Read this and another post regarding Paige.
One was impolite, and the other based on the readers wrong assumption.
Have not met her.
Her reply's to both posts shows she is thoughtful, reasonable, and well spoken.
Paige - hope your skin is as thick as it is beautiful. Some people on here are just dicks.
Hold Fast
for the kind words. At the end of the day, the comments are jus that comments. And as a woman raised in the South, getting weak over some words is not what I was raised to be about. You can take the girl out of the South but you can't take the Southerner out of her.
A few things about the "send a selfie" pic...
1. It would waste the time of the provider because all they would get is non-stop requests for pictures or "more selfies". So they dont want to deal with time wasters and "pic" collectors.
2. Like mentioned is many have vast amount of social media outlets, web pages, advertisements, etc. You can do your own due diligence and scope those out.
3. If you are on this site... you can see in the reviews if the photos are "accurate". That is if the provider has reviews.
4. Could be issues or "incrimination" type things with photos....ie: LEO issues depending how graphic photos are or what is said in text messages.
5. IT IS UP TO THE PERSON IF THEY WANT TO SEND THEM OR NOT..... It is their own personal comfort level... not a "THEY SHOULD DO THIS".
