Lots of discussion about inflated reviews recently, often with a "better than I expected" on appearance.
So I'm curious to know your genuine experience on those initial impressions with someone you're meeting for the first time and you're holding your breath on what you'll find when the door opens. What % fall into these rough categories?
A. Yes, I really was surprised she was better than her pics
B. Her pics were actually pretty accurate
C. Disappointed vs what I was expecting
If you've got some observations on differences with this for indies vs agencies, through in some added comments.
My last 3 meetings I found flaws I didn’t like but I had a good time.
One girl had baby damage and stretch marks that didn’t show in her pictures. I don’t like that shit at all especially at her high rates.
Another had those duck lips because she hid her face. She was fun but I would have never reached out had I seen them. She wasn’t deceptive and her body was tight. I got used to the lips lol !
The last one had tons of tattoos which isn’t my thing. On her pictures they were all removed. She did say she had a few but there was over 10. She was in the process of having them removed.
Before the last 3 . I been seeing a couple regulars and from what I remember they were like their pictures with nothing misleading.
But I pay a premium for that. I honestly cant say the last time I was disappointed in a girls looks, although the girls who are not face out always look different in person than in my minds eye, lol, but almost never for the worse.

When I first started, I was disappointed very often, but it wasn't the girls fault (except in one specific case as that girl bait and switched me) it was mine, as I didn't know how to do research like I do now.
I only see well reviewed ladies with average scores of 9 & 10 and never below 8. Where I play that often means above average rates, but it's worth it to me.
When yhe door opens..
20% A. 40% B (or close enough). 40% C. Usually refarding weight/age
Interesting responses do far. Your % spread is close to what I was expecting.
I would say most are actually somewhere between B and C. I suppose it depends what one defines as pretty accurate vs. disappointed. For me, pretty accurate is fairly close to 100% of what I expected based on pics. Whereas, disappointed is closer to it not even being the lady in the pic. But for most on here who do their homework, C is probably fairly rare. That's more likely to happen if you take more risks.
However, I find that even well reviewed ladies can often be closer to 75% than 100% of what I saw in the pic, but in some ways I expect this to be the case. By the time they get a fair amount of reviews, they are likely not noobs in the game. But so many are using the same pics from 5 or 10 years ago. Being older than their pics seems somewhat common. Then, if they have a blemish of some sort, many will digitally touch it up. So, when I show up, she may be slightly older and have blemishes I didn't see in her pics, but still be good looking. So, I'm not exactly disappointed, but her pics could have been more accurate.
But I do get some Bs mixed in. A and C are less common for me. There was one lady though who had over 100 reviews and a 9.2 rating who was totally not who I saw in the picture. She was much heavier. And, not only were the reviews misleading, but reviews that poured in since I have seen her continue to be misleading. This one is wild to me, so idk what is going on. And, once in awhile, I get an A and feel like I hit the jackpot.
Really, I'd say all were B EXCEPT, once in a blue moon there is someone that the camera can't quite capture. I remember one provider in NYC - she was pretty in her pictures, for sure -- but when I got there, she had a radiance and beauty that were other-worldly, ethereal. My jaw dropped to the floor, and I spent about a minute sputtering "How did I find you? Where have you been?" But those are very rare.
In general, and I'd ask other long-term semi-professional hobbyists like Mr Fisher this question: hasn't the industry matured over the past 20 years to the point that the market, for the most part, simply won't tolerate messing around too much with photos. It's become a mature industry.
Not that surprising from my perspective but this thread seems to stand a bit apart from a number of other threads related to reviews. Not sure why.
Anyhow, answering your question, I'm a bit lower on the A side than others, maybe 5% or a bit more. B is solidly around the 85% level and the remaining fall into C, so less than 10%. Side note, that bottom 10% almost exclusively comes from outside the USA.
