We've all had to deal with it one time or another, it can be fraustrating. But should hobbyists just leave once we get there and see it's not the person advertised? I think so. In a few instances, the provider turns out to be as attractive as the fake picture she used, but that's not always the case, that's not the point either- if you have an image in your mind about the person you're going to have fun with, it's kind of disapointing either way. If you want to find out if a provider's pic is real, you can google search the image, just as you would google a name, etc- once you google the picture, you will get all the sites and links associated with that picture, hence you will know what website or person they stole the pic from.

In the past i've compromised and said what the heck, i came all this way- but now it's over, from now on i will just leave; these false- advertising providers need to know they'll be wasting their time when they do this.

I've posted tons of pictures on my twitter and on my ads that were just cell phone shots with no lighting, no editing, no makeup (which doesn't matter because I don't show my face), and no clothes.

If these are the type of pictures you want to find- search "candid photo".

There are providers who post stolen pics that don't look anything like them.
Some search for pics that resemble them, or at least give a reasonable representation of their looks.
Some post old, currently inaccurate pics of themselves.
Some post current pics that are posed or doctored to minimize flaws and maximize assets.
Some post current pics that are truly them, all glammed up. The every day appearance is something less, as is true of every single TV and movie starlet you have ever seen.

NOBODY
posts a totally accurate, full frontal, un-posed current photo without benefit of makeup, push-up bra, sexy outfit, pro or semi-pro lighting -  who expects to do any business.

The scam artists who steal photos, play games with rates, and provide poor or no service should be dealt with harshly.

Everyone else, all that matters is that you are satisfied at the end of the date. If she opens the door and doesn't turn you on like the photos did - leave. Otherwise, stay and fuck her; that IS the point, isn't it?

On this part of your post:

It's all about professionalism. Some like the self shots, some don't. Of course there are pros and cons as already mentioned.

I read a hobbyist's comment a few weeks ago about how he won't see a lady if she doesn't have any professional photo shoot pictures. It only costs a few hundred bucks.

On the other hand, I'm sure there are some people who like bathroom mirror shots of providers.

I've seen several providers and then have gone a looked at their pics and still wasn't sure if it's them or not. So if it's an accurate representation I'm OK with it. What I HATE is when the door opens and there seems to be an extra 10 to 15 years or an extra 20+ pounds that seems to have magically appeared. I've never walked out on a lady but I did have one experience where the provider saw the look on my face and said "This isn't going to happen is it?". I gave her $40 and she said her normal cancellation fee was $100. I wish I had taken the forty back and said my lying fee is you get jack shit.

The topic of professional vs amateur photos comes up often. Obviously there are a lot of guys who like the professional photos and a lot of guys who prefer the amateur ones. For the ladies the best marketing strategy is to have a mixture of both types of photos. My only point above was in arguing against Clarence's point which seemed to say that a lady who only has amateur shots will get no business. My point is that she will get business and a lot of ladies do, because there is a huge number of consumers who prefer that.

Now this thread was about fake pics. Not pro vs amateur. (Not that this topic hasn't been discussed often either). Let's get back on topic.

Cancellation fee of $100?

I've read on a few different providers' sites that they will accept a $50 gift card to stores they listed or 10% of the price of the time you booked added on top if you plan to rebook. Something like that. In your case, you would not have rebooked since she looked nothing like her pics.

Going back to fake pics, how can anyone fall into that trap?

Assuming you read the reviews, asked other reviewers about her, did research, googled the picture, and are not taking one for the team on a new girl, I don't see how a hobbyist can be fooled into seeing a provider with fake pics.

I can't seem to recall any hooker that I've either seen BCD or met face to face putting up pics that aren't them.

But then you have the mangina boys afraid of their own shadow...and won't call a B&S hooker out.

Too bad...just perpetuates the bad behavior.

Hey Clarence....was that good advice?  There's plenty of other gems like this...look them up  LOL

A good looking woman is a good looking woman whether her pics are professional or not- being fancy doesn't have a significant effect... not for me at least.

ARE all of you just so fucking pathetic that you would pay some hooker ANYTHING as a cancellation fee?

Forget that...rhetorical question  LOL

Grow some balls...if it isn't the hooker you thought you were going to see.....leave.  And don't look back.

Sheesh  

If she says they are real when they are clearly not, then I don't see her.  If she says they are indicative...then it really depends on what she says, how she says it, and how I assess the situation.

And to me fake pics include her pics 20pounds or 10 years ago, or photoshopped etc, which is why I prefer meeting ladies with amateur pics. A lot more likely, to look like her when I meet in person.
Not sure why your reply was under me. Looks like it was meant for Clarence or the OP. My post above was just in reply to one point in Clarence's post. I agreed with everything else he said, and I agree with you. He seemed to imply that a lady who uses amateur pictures would get no business, and that is what I disagree with.

It's unfortunate that women post photo's that aren't them. I'm not talking old photos or photos that enhance or otherwise decieve. I'm talking about photos that are clearly not of them. I've given two ladies gas money and asked them to leave. And I do not use see backpage girls anymore unless they are well reviewed.

How do you google a photo?

Fine...go to Google.

Type in "How do i google a photo"

Read the answers

You're welcome  

Why the hell would you give a B&S hooker a nickel?

Jeez Louise...next time it happens just ask her "who the fuck are you?".  

And close the door.

Assuming the photo is not in flash,

Method 1 (Google images):
1. Find picture(s) in question
2. Open a new tab
3. In that new tab, go to Google images
4. Drag the picture in question (can only do one at a time) into the search bar of Google images and release.
5. Results may or may not show up.

Method 2 (TinEye):

1. Find the picture(s) in question
2. Go to TinEye in a new tab
3. Paste the image link there

especially when there are girls with fake pics who have reviews, and the the reviews do not mention the fact that the pics are fake, and provider's profile says the pics are real, even though they aren't. Yes, this happened to me once, and I'm still pissed about it.

if the girl is not the girl in the pic u would probally stay but what can be done if the girl is not attractive at all.  I mean people pay for sex with a girl they are attracted too.  The girl could be the wrong type.  She might look like a sister or friend or someone else and u would not want to do that.  What would you suggest doing if you come across a girl that used fake pics and is soooo not someone you want to be with.  I think they should not be paid since it is fraud.

if she lied/fraud why should she get any fee.  She should pay u for gas money.

crazyshit will say you don't owe anyone anything, and technically he is right. Nobody here owes anyone anything but if people are going to come on the boards complaining about shit, they should write reviews and problem reports.

Guys either staying anyway and proceeding with the "date" or guys paying them cancellation fees and gas money. If they are defrauding you right from the start with fake pics, why pay them? If more guys just left, without paying, maybe less gals would use fake pics.
