One should be enough to evaluate your weight/race/overall appearance to screen for any of them or ensure you're they guy who shows up. It's not common, but not unheard of. Be very, very sure you trust a lady you send a photo of yourself to.

Three requests? That's just screaming red flags to me. Did you make sure she received the first two? Did you ask why she wanted any in the first place? I'd proceed with caution.

I am having my first experiance with a provider tommorrow.  We have been emailing back and forth and twice she has asked for me to send her pictures of me.  I sent her a picture on both occasions.  Just now she asked for pictures of me for a third time.  Is this normal behavior for a provider, and should I be sending her pictures of me?

WOW.  I never been asked.   you already sent her pic and she is asking more?  It is bit strage to ask three times..  mmmm..

That is weird that a provider asked for a picture to be sent on 3 different occasions.Is she well-reviewed?I have heard some providers that do request a picture sometimes so they can see who they are about to meet.But,you already sent 2 pictures 1 should have been enough.I have never asked for a picture to be sent but that is just me.Seems strange in my opinion.

The only reason I have ever been given for this, by provider friends, is to find out what race the guy is or if he is very overweight.  One picture should tell the lady everything she needs to know. I can't think of a reason why she would ask for more than one.  Does she have reviews?

She has two reviews and they were good.  The first one I sent I told her it was taken last year.  Then when she asked for more I thought maybe she wanted a more recent one, so I took a picture and sent it.  I didn't really start to think about it to much until when she asked a third time.  Now I am wondering if this is some type of LE thing.

She just emailed me back and said she would like a shirtless pic.  Is this so she can see if I am in good shape?  I'm not sure if I am comfortable in exposing my body to someone I haven't met.

I don't think it is too unusual, but to ask for more then one is strange.  Although I did sent more then one to a provider once but she just thought I was cute....Haha haaahha.
If I wanted to be a provider, I might want to see what was coming to my door before hand so I would already be prepared for the frankenstien and not jump back in terror, scream, or pass out on the first meeting.

You were kind enough to send her two....is she posting you on her facebook profile or WHAT?  

I wouldn't send any more photos.

Just send her two head-shots.  One facing forward, the other in profle.  Then she can use them as mug shots!  LOL.  Seriously, I don't know what's up with her and don't want to.  Do not send more pix and break off all contact.

This past new years I had booked a provider tha burnt me for a deposit SKB and the last day before her flight more money lost.She also asked for a pic seemed odd never heard that before. She also asked some password oriented questions like the ones on your westernunion acount.I knew then I fucked up also by the acheing feeling in my gut so my advice go with your gut instinct.As far as the pic she requested I assume she did come to the area and worked and if I some how booked her while she was here she would have known it was me.Or if I visited her area the same scenero.Recently I did see a providers site that asked for a pic, and now I only see providers that post on ter not just with reviews.

This is not matchmaker.  This is pay4play & you are paying.  Even if she is a provider she's clearly too fussy...  if she only excepts perfect physical specimines, she in the wrong business.  
Cut off contact & find a well reviewed provider who has 6 to 10 good reviews with at least some of the reviewers being vetran reviewers.  
By the same token, I pass on providers whose reviews (more than just the numeric values) are up a down a great deal...  I feel they are moody or only do well with some certain people she connects with...  and looking in the mirror, I'm not a yong stud any more.

...I avoid those.  If there's only one or two low scores in 5 or 6 pages of reviews I throw them out.  But I can think of one girl whose reviews really vary and I won't see her.  Why would I want to risk seeing her on a bad day?

Drop this situation now. I would hate to see you posting here in a couple weeks that you got scammed or were introduced to your local public servants.

Look elsewhere.

Just an old ugly fat fuck with an opinion

I was asked once by a lady for a pic. She was new, and was highly recommended. She become one of my ATF's. If she wasn't highly recommended by guys I knew, I would have passed. She used the pics to make sure she had some attraction to you.

The reason some providers ask for a picture is to make sure they don't know you from the civie world, and of course everyone is honest on the internet( hint of sarcasm) so the need for 3 pictures is probably just an honesty check. However, if picture  1 looked relatively close to picture 2 I'm not sure why the need for picture 3.

This process has NOTHING to do with her being attracted to you. Maybe she had ran into her dad's business partner, or an ex boyfriend and now she wants to make sure she doesn't know you from real life

It sounds to me like she is still trying to fine tune her screening methods. For your first time I would recommend someone who has been around the block a little longer. Asking for pics is not the norm for screening, even for a newbie.

The multiple requests show that she has issues with organization, possibly is kind of flakey in my opinion. I do not think asking for pictures is a huge issue of concern. I have before as a provider, if I had any feeling of discomfort about a person and wanted to get a picture of who I was making an appointment with. I have to steriotype a little to keep myself safe so a picture can tell a 1000 words sometimes. I do not ask on all appointments, but maybe she just wants to make sure she is being selective in who she is seeing, and wants to pick and choose her clients.
