While looking through our profiles, I couldn’t help but think  we all stand out in such different ways. Some faces catch your eye instantly, but sometimes it’s something else that makes you pause. Maybe it’s a smile, a spark, or just a certain energy that feels right before you even meet. Looks can draw attention, but that feeling you get when someone seems to match your vibe — that’s what really stays on your mind after the booking, isn’t it?

Over the years, I’ve evolved and rebranded myself, not just as a woman, but as a person with purpose. Motherhood has made me empathetic and grounded. As a single mom, I’ve learned the power of kindness, understanding, and genuine human connection — qualities that define who I am today.

No, it’s not just about looks. But it’s a factor. I’m no more interested in an escort I find physically unattractive then I am in one whose personality turns me off. I have been with a few hot ones that were a bad fit personality wise. And, I have been with some average looking ones who were cool af and I didn’t care that they weren’t as hot. I enjoyed who they are and it made the time, and sex, better.

say more than looks and body type alone.

in my 17 years on TER, I have been consistent from the beginning that service is king with me.   I have some reviews where appearance was 7 but service is 9 or 10.  It's the high level of service that demands a repeat with me, not looks.  With that said, there IS a threshold where a girl's appearance is so off-putting, that I would not consider seeing her at all, but this can usually be determined by the photo gallery and by reading a few reviews.   While I try not to be too critical, there is a line to be crossed when it comes to too fat, too old or too ugly, in which case we will never get to the service score, but my "line" is a lot more lenient for old than for fat or ugly.  In the last few years, I have met a few 50-year-olds that could pass for 35-40, and as you might expect, their level of experience makes the service top-notch.  Many mature providers take excellent care of themselves, and modern cosmetics combined with exercise and body sculpting at the gym can erase a lot of the signs of aging.  

as in the wise words of Rodney Dangerfield ..  looks are not everything ..  think of the many times you have seen a tall handsome man walking down the street holding the hands of a short ugly woman ..............................................  i have never seen that, have you ?  

That really only applies if the woman has both professional photos and recent, casual selfies.  
.
Her appearance is just the starting point and certainly not the final decision maker. If I’m not physically attracted to someone, I don’t continue my process. There’s really no point in doing further research if I cant see her beauty.
.
So yes, initial attraction does matter to me. But after that, there are quite a few other factors I weigh before making contact. I consider whether her rate is within my budget, if she requires a deposit and whether the method and amount of same are something I’m comfortable with as well. Her screening requirements, and my comfort with those, are essential before going deeper.  
.
Next up is sexual compatibility, which I can normally get from her profile, reviews and by pm. If I am still good to go with her at that point, I will do a deep dive into her social media presence to see if she treats others kindly, acts professionally and seems like a decent soul.  
.
Personality is also very important to me. I get along well with most people, but every now and then I’ll come across bc channel info that can cause me concern but that is rare.
.
The process is definitely more complex now than it was even 5–10 years ago. But I’ve found that when I take the time to do my due diligence, I rarely walk away disappointed, and more often than not, I’m actually thrilled with my choice.

Men, initially are drawn to looks, is she attractive or isn't she, is she my "type" or....This is who we are, we're visual animals. You see that hot chick walking down the street and your first thoughts are, "I'd do her".
Why do you think there's ads with......PICTURES!
And you ask about a certain "energy", I can't see or feel it from pictures, but if on her profile. Is he had a video of herself introducing herself, then I can probably draw a better conclusion.
Now of course once you meet and she opens her mouth, you then might decide and think to yourselves..."Man, fuck this shit, I hope she has half hour rates".

only girls who know they are not hot or guys with no game say looks are not important.     can great skills make a guy be attracted to a "7" yes but he is aware of that adjustment.    anyone who says not is lying ... or is very insecure.  

Physical appearance makes me read her ad.  In businesses school we learned this is called "marketing."  

what I do notice about my reaction to photos is this:  

Damn, I knew I shoulda gone to Wharton!

This is the same way I approach this biz.  

I'm pretty sure the reason she blurs her face is to AVOID getting arrested! :p

I’m a mom before anything else. Privacy is a major concern. Safety is an issue. I am not sure if you’re aware, but some of us travel Internationally and facial recognition is a real serious concern. My better half was detained in Iceland coming through customs with a client.  

I fully understand and respect that provider's need to protect themselves from as much risk as possible.  

I think blurring or truncating is wise and good practice.  I'm saying that faces don't figure in my calculus any more.

The Eastern European providers seem to understand marketing better than other groups….the girls in that demographic that have their own websites tend to keep it very simple, with the first thing you see when going to their website are sexy pics that emphasize their bodies, specifically their best features…then scroll down and you get their rates, screening, stats, will do/won’t do and contact information and a brief marketing blurb which shows Englsh is not their first language (lol). Simple and effective.

First thing that buys me in is the looks and I can't even lie about that but then there's a hidden uniqueness that reels me in
