When I see an ad for someone who looks really great I will search high and low for several reviews and even look at the reviewers other reviews to see if they are prone to exaggeration.  If I see someone who is closer to "regular" looks I tend to believe in them more.  

Am I the only one?  My first thought is "She looks to good, must be fake"

Reo you mistrust beautiful providers ads?

I disagree about "must be fake'.  Probably not gonna look like photo shoot day when she walks in the door.  
Anyways do any of us look like we do the day we all got dressed up to go to the prom or a wedding or on family photo shoot day?
I believe the lady has to be pretty much on the beautiful side to be able to take a beautiful picture. IMHO

Not her looks that do it,it is her photos. If her photos make her look great, then they are most likely professional and have a good chance of not even being her. A good professional photographer with a good makeup artist can make even average people look very good. They can make good looking people look fantastic.

However we have all seen what the results are like when we take our own pictures. Even when the person looks their best, non-porfessional photos can make you look bad or even worse. When I see a lady has posted photos that do not necessarily show her best side, are not perfectly lit and have extraneous items in the background/foreground, then they are more likely real.

Not to say that real providers do not have professional portfolios. Some have had some great sets done. However most do not have that sensous Madison Avenue/Playboy warm and fuzzy feel to them. Perfect lighting, even tans, freshly styled hair and absolutely NO blemishes. All signs of a fake ad.

I think the same, they must be fake, just like most of them on cityvibe, great pics but alot have to be fake.

I have to say that I am skeptical. Mistrust might be too harsh of a word for it.  If its too good to be true it often is (or so we've always said).   But here's a thought.

Web sites just have a hard time being accurate for many reasons. The photgrapher might be spectacular or a loser, the editor might retouch photos that really alter someone's looks, the provider might not bother to update her photos for a LOOONG time.  But let's review a weekend in Vegas for example. Sierra looks exactly like her photos, LJ looks better than her photos, and Angella Masters doesn't. But in fairness to Angella, they posed her facing off camera and there's a bit of shadow, so they created a good illusion but never gave you a straight on face shot.  So what does that tell us? YMMV with a camera and a computer.

The ones I have a really hard time trusting are the blurred photos.  If I can't find tons of reviews and THEN find someone backchannel to verify her looks I'll just skip on by. So now tell me guys, what do you do when there's no reviews either.  As an example let's take Amy Taylor. Blurred face, no reviews.  Great description, the parts that aren't blurred are very enticing but we're not talking about  tickets to a movie here, we're talking beaucoup euros!  Perhaps cost can exponentially increase skepticism? And just for the record I will save my pennies to find out for myself - guess I'm not that jaded just yet! hehe

 The gentleman I've seen that have mentioned seeing her rave about her and their eyes light up I don't think she needs reviews to prove she's an all around class act, an excellant provider, as well as a beautiful and kind person.

I have no doubt what Ali has said regarding Amy is true.  I know several experienced hobbyists who've generally said the same about her.  

I've not 'seen' Amy myself, but was introduced to her once by a mutual friend.  She impressed me as nothing short of a class act in every way.  

And for those worried about her looks (blurred face in the photos), the concerns should be set aside.  Lots of gals blur their faces, but only because they may not not wish to be easily recognizable.  Ali herself is an example..her face is blurred in her photos, yet it's one of her best features.  In person Amy looks at least as good as she does in her ad, & her lack of reviews are only because that's the way she wants it & her clients are gentlemen enough to respect her wishes.

in terms of looks, brains, personality, and everything else. She is truly in a class of her own. As said before, there are several very well-respected gentlemen on this board that will fully support my views.

I'm to see Amy next month, we've exchanged several e-mails & have talked a couple times, & she certainly is a class act (friendly, considerate, prompt response to e-mails, etc.)....

Actually, I owe Ali a big thank you, as it was her suggestion I see Amy...Looking foward to seeing both these wonderful ladies in May....

Amy is the best there is.  I have visited the most highly regarded girls in many cities in the US, Canada and Europe.  To me, Amy is head and shoulders above any of them.  She is certainly beautiful and energetic.  She is also one of the most interesting and intelligent PEOPLE I have ever met.  If you value intellectual companionship, creativity and joie de vivre as well as the particulars of physical activity, Amy is an absolute bargain.  Believe me, she would still be busy if she charged 50% more - it's just her populist heart that keeps her fees in range of many on this board.  

However, there is a downside, I'm now largely bored with other girls I used to see, so see her at you own risk.

Reo you mistrust beautiful providers ads?

I also avoid "super-hot" providers.  Most, not all, are mean, snotty and way to expensive for me.  I also find that they don't enjoy the work (and I've been a driver for an agency and have met girls who honestly enjoy their work).  Maybe if you're a hot guy, which I'm not, they perform, but for a regular nice guy like me, I've found them to just lie there like a piece of meat.  Not fun at all.  Once again, I'm not saying all act like this but I've found that I got the worst service from the hot ones.

That's entirely too kind of you....  I hear the same compliments, and see the same reactions, from the few people I've known that also know you, Ali.  Few women as amazingly sultry and beautiful as you have the kindness I've heard you display, and that I know is NOT an act on your part.  Of many ladies I have met, I haven't known anyone to care for, defend, and protect their valued gentlemen friends the way you do...anyone who gets on your calendar knows how lucky they are, indeed.

Except why won't you see me?  Tee hee...just teasing, guys...it's an inside joke, and not what it sounds like.

And I hope we get to meet again soon!  Too brief, that introduction.  

And I agree with you that I'm lucky to have met such gentlemen, who have honored my wishes to not be publicly incriminated.  These kind souls honor my desire for privacy and still help me with the occasional cautious referral...I have it very good, and I know it.  But I assure anyone who thinks I may be spoiled, that I have thanked them all in person!

Is this who I think it is?  I wonder...could you be the sender of a fragrant package mailed this last week?  I don't know, but I suspect....

Thanks anyway, my dear mysterious but flattering one!

Hopefully not until after late May, anyway...heh heh.

I haven't found a gag and any latex in B-G sizes, but the people at Petco sure were looking at me strangely this afternoon!

That guy at Light was such a tool, n'est-ce pas?  I'm not a quitter, though...and I know you aren't either!

Vroom vroom...
