That is the ones who blur, block or completely delete their face from website pictures.

"For privacy reasons I do not show my face.
If you are not happy with my face after meeting me then you may leave, but I guarantee you, no one has ever left!"

This is a no brainer, but to the guys, how many have left because they werent satisfied with the face?

I hide my face on my website because I have a life outside of escorting.  I'm not in any way ashamed of what I do for a living, but I'm concerned for my family and friends.  Society doesn't accept our profession.

If a client upon meeting me, didn't like my face, I certainly wouldn't try to tie him to the bed and force him to stay! lol.  I'd rather he left, because ultimately, neither of us are going to have a good time.

I have to admit, I havenever been dis-satisfied with the face.

Of course, I have only seen one provider who hid her face on her site.

well i saw a provider whos face was blured out her body looked awsome.
but when i got there her face was horrible turned my stomach
i took a qiuck BJ and left

I met a provider last week who had her face was blurred in the ad.  When I got there I was dissapointed because she had a butter face.  Ya know...

Her body was great, "but her face"....  

Had a great time gazing deeply...  at the back of her head

I have never seen anyone with a blured face ... not sure if I would ..........

The person who's website that is on has a reason to hide her face and its made very clear on her site. Orlando is conservative. Beyond this LE is so involved in everything hobbyist and providers do here its not funny.
Much like what is said above we have lives families and often occupations outside of this.
Because I have a high public profile I do not show much of anything on my site. I try to offer fair and temtping teasers that allow a gentleman to see the overall picture but I am very selective about content.
Does this aid in your question Nota- i hope so.

I do not show my face on my site yet consistently rate 8-10 in the looks catagory and 8-10 in performance.  Often, as in my case, it really is for the providor's privacy.  I don't want my family or friends to stumble across my website. We all have lives outside the hobby.  How many hobbyists would want their faces on the net?

I worry about both sides of the fence.  I get a lot of business by not hiding my face.  So, if I blur my face, I may lose potential business.  However, if I leave my face, I may be discovered by friends and/or family.  Now that I am in school, I worry even more that someone may accidently run across my site.

I guess I am damned if I do and damned if I don't hide.

and agree with you ... it's just my preference .. I'm not sure of your hobbiest point though .... unless we are caught in a sting and make the headlines......if I were in your profession I'd show my face .. MHO .......

I recently contacted a lady who hid her face on her website. It didn't bother me, and I never said anything. But after we set up the date and she did the screening, she volunteered to e-mail me a g-rated photo showing her face. Seemed like a pretty good compromise for those who feel a need for an advance look.

Because they have other jobs in real life which would be compromised if it were known.  One lady I know is a lawyer, and she almost got disbarred after someone ratted her out to the Bar association.  Fortunately for her, none of the photos on her website could be conclusively proven to be her.

Shows a little discretion....  If she doesn't care if the world knows what she does, then that attitude is likely to pervade into other indiscretions (ie re client identities!).

I hear ya.
The concern for loss of potentials is very very REAL>
I however have to agree strong heartedly with the argument for school . In my MAC lab every day theres guys looking up local porn and attractions. I swear to gawd I am going to faint the day someone recognizes one of my tattoos.
Its really a mixed bag of beans. surprisingly .. this sounds so STUPID but its absolutely true. When I started this process to get into this and I made my website I had have a FULL pic up. I simply took one of those black bars across my eyes and slightly down my nose. thats it the rest un blurred etc... I asked my brother in law who is a local sheriff here to give me his input on this site i found. ( wa ha )
After an hour of discussing the legalities.. I said we need to talk .
Needless to say his eyelashes are permantly burned .. and he hasnt quite recovered.. but his input on a daily basis is very valuable to me. He never knew the pic was me. Had NO CLUE.

posted twice?

how couldf you provide and be a lawyer?  One would need to sleep sometime-  both jobs are very time intensive, the lawyer more so...

I still make very good $$$$ each month without showing my face.  In fact 4 of the top 10 girls in my area do not show their faces.  It is a personal choice.  If I ever move to another state I may use my face on my site, but not while I am living in the same state as family.

Wasn't all that long ago.  The risk of being "outed" is very real, and for some ladies being outed can have disastrous consequences.  So while I'd surely prefer to see the provider's face in her ad, I've never said anything.  If you want to get insistent about this, at least be aware of the risk you're asking a woman to take.

Very good topic, I chose not to show my face because,for all around privacy, friends, family etc.  I am also in  school and would hate to have a professor or another classmate stumble upon mysite, Hell I have trouble stepping into a new class each semester for fear of bumping in to a client( ie, professor or classmate) NOt that I am ashamed of what I do, but it would most likely make for a unsettling way to meeting and then of course there is the transition of starting out in a new profession, after recieving my degree and being outed as a former or  current escort.

I also have a life outside of escorting and would not like to be recognized on the street.

It is all about having a good time...........
kisses & licks....

I am very surprised that you think its strange to hide your face..its a nice way to stay under the radar..dont you think security at hotels look at TER not to mention how many lurkers there are..ever had a stalker..well I have..its not cool...I am not ashamed at my choice of professions everyone who knows me knows what I do..all my friends..that does not mean I want my parents or parents friends to see me ..its a very small world... to prove it..I had a client this week from Boston who lives right across the street from my dad...who happens to be a elected official..I am not about to let the whole world see me...but I am about to have a page of facial shots..on my site that I will give acess to serious apt inquiries...not just for every tom, dick, and harry to see..I dont think there is anything wrong with other providers showing there face..but we all make choices based on our own situation....clients dont send me a facial shot before asking for an apt... nor should they..I understand they are the ones paying but its not necesarily because we have something to hide..just because we would like a little privacy...

Personally I am actually surprised that more women don't blur their photos and it would not prevent me from booking an appointment.  In most cases I think the ladies blur their photos for a multitude of personal and security reasons rather than to hide a face that would crack the mirror on the wall. Besides even without trying many people look quite a bit different in person than they do in photos.

I am not sure how much business a lady actually loses by blurring her face.  Some hobbyists may elect to not see any ladies that blur their faces.  However in some cases a hobbyist may see a picture including the face and decide not to see the lady.  Had the face been blurred he might have seen the lady and been very happy.

To answer your original question I have never left becasue the blurred faced looked that bad in person.  However I have left because the photo showing a face was of another lady or was 20 years and 75 pounds ago.

I find a certain extra thrill in meeting a lady for the first time if I have not seen her face. It must have been like this for centuries to those in the middle east meeting their veiled women. At least we have the advantage of seeing a good preview of her body-- not hidden under a burka.

faces, there are plenty of clients who are willing to take the chance.

If a client isn't sure, he can always read reviews of the lady and see what trusted reviewers say about her looks.  

A lot of the time, you can usually make out enough of the lady's features and also find she doesn't have two heads!

I've just visited your site.   You look mysterious, and rather than blurring your face, you have a hat on and give a good hint of what you look like, without giving it all away.

Good for you my dear!  

If you're ever in the UK, please get in contact.. x

Concluding that a lady who blurs her face is more apt to be discreet with client information is quite a leap.  My experience has shown NO such correlation, and I would warn you against basing your choices on that assumption.  I would understand if you did not want to be seen in public with an escort who is recognizable, but to rely on blurred pictures as an indication of a provider's discretion when it comes to maintaining client confidentiality is unwise, I believe.

I do care who knows what I do.  It's not that I'm ashamed, because I am not.  It's because I think it is unwise to give people ammunition to use against me.

When I had my photographs taken, I had intended to have my face blurred in the pictures before posting them.  However, I was surprised to see that they really didn't look enough like me for people to recognize me.  So, that is the reason my face is not blurred in my photographs.

My reputation for discretion is important to me, and I try very hard to maintain my clients' confidentiality.  I have a protocol about providing references that helps protect client privacy, and I am not even a member of any provider-only boards or client review sites.  

A well-regarded lady provider has said that by showing her face, she may in fact be more accountable for her actions than someone who does not, because she cannot hide as easily.  From what I know of her, she has a lot of integrity, and I'm sure she would hold herself to the same high standards, even if she didn't show her face.

L. L.,
From my viewpoint, your photographs, blurred or clear, are completely redundant.  No photograph could ever show one of your most engaging qualities: your uncanny ability to make each and every one of your guys (certainly including this one) feel as though he is, for you, the most important person.

Not all lawyers work the old 80+ hours/week routine.  Many lawyers maintain regular office hours.  Some have staff that do a lot of their scutwork for them.  

I have several friends who are lawyers.  They show up for early evening bicycle rides, go to school functions for their children (including those during the day), and don't work many more hours/week than your average office worker.  I think it depends on what type of lawyer they are, and how busy their firms are - and these are both things that many (of course not all) of them can control.

You know you are a V.I.P. to me... and that extends far beyond the time we spend together.  xxxooo

Due to friends and family we decided to blur our faces too...but on the other hand we have a member's area with all the pics of us that you all saw blurred plus more! So when a gentleman passes screening we send him a passcode to see us before we meet

alot of providers here say they blur their faces because they dont want to be recognized by friends and family. what makes them think their friends and family even look at internet pornography?

and what if one of their friends or family were so clueless they didnt realize they actually knew the provider on the website and set up an appointment? now gee wouldnt that be embarrassing meeting them at a hotel? would the provider wear a mask the whole session?
