I have a few pet peeves regarding provider photos and would love comments from other hobbyists. The first thing that comes to mind are photos which are very old. I have in mind a particular provider that has been on the horizon for way more than a decade. The photos on her website are the same ones she used way back in the dark ages. Therefore she is at least 15 years older now. Please post some new photos. There's nothing wrong with keeping the older pics. Just include some that are identified as more recent. The second peeve is more serious. Providers that use photos of other women. Sometimes this occurs with girls working together. They put the pic of the cuter girl and whichever girl is available catches the trick. Guys...Please turn and leave when this happens. It's the only way to discourage this. Thirdly, I do not object to pics that do not show much. They may not help hobbyists choose but it's not dishonest advertising either.  What do you al think???

Two responses. First, photos that are of a completely different girl are just plain deceiving and dishonest. If I met a provider that was clearly not the person she claimed to be, then the date is off and I mean immediately.... just out of principle.

Second, I agree that providers should keep their pics fairly recent... like 1 year or less. Adding new photos or replacing one or two existing pics requires very little effort. It is not always necessary to have professional pics taken... some recent candid (amateur) shots are ok.

That being said, I think most women, providers especially, are very critical of themselves and their pics. They may not update their pics because they don't like the more recent ones... so we have to be sensative to those issues too.

I agree. I've found, more or less, that phony pictures indicate an agency and they are rarely honest.

On many occasions a provider has come to my home whose pictures were phony. A few times I've immediately sent them on their way.

One time a provider came back with her lumbering driver and demanded payment for the "refund" policy. I [took some action that I won't describe here] and convinced both of them of the folly of their situation. I didn't pay any stinkin' "cancellation" fee.

Of the times that I proceeded with the phony-picture appointment only a few really delivered a good performance.

I absolutely agree.  I also love how many providers say they are 28 years old when they have to be 38 at the very least.  I mean, who are they fooling?

I hate to say it, but here's the formula I go by when calling someone:

1.  Add 15 pounds to quoted weight.
2.  Add 5-10 years to quoted age.
3.  Subtract at least one cup size from quoted size.

It's nice and refreshing when you actually get someone who is 100% truthful, like Amber in North County.  However, it shouldn't be that way.  It's not like I am opposed to a woman in her mid-30s, but when I am expecting 25 and see 38, that's just wrong.

It is fine to be sensitive to issues but I think truth in advertising is essential and if the pictures are 15 years old and don't accurately depict her current condition then it is perfectly acceptable to cancel the date without a cancellation fee.

If she is 15 years older and 50 pounds heavier that is just plain dishonest also.

All I want is an honest representation of the lady that is going to show up for our date.  Many times I have had to use my imagination, how the lady....actually was the one in the picture.
If a lady only has glamour shots.....then she needs to fix herself up for the date....
