For our purposes, definitely real, untouched-up pics.
If it's on a site that is about the pictures as a final goal, then go ahead and fix em up nice.
But here, where the pics are an introduction to someone you will meet, I definitely prefer pics that don't make meeting the girl a disappointment.
Ok guys i have this poll running on my site but i decided to ask you as well
what kinda pics do you prefer
glamoured up airbrushed and made to look pretty
or
the natural real ones that actually look like the lady that opens the door
i look forward to seeing what you all have to say on this
Honestly....a little of both. Don't like to be unpleasantly surprised when the door opens, but do appreciate the fru-fru photos as well. probably doesn't help you much...sorry.
There is a provider I know (Jan Brady in Kansas City) that has a picture of her on her site that was taken in a no frills pizza joint that is of her in baggy shorts and a T-shirt, with her face covered on her site copy of the pic, pulling up her T-shirt and flashing her breasts. It is actually one of the sexiest pics I have seen on here, as weird as that may sound, and it is completely natural, no frills (and distant!). Come to think of it, that is one of the reasons why it is so sexy to me...a regular gal who will fuck your brains out and who is cute at the same time and is playful with her sexuality. Gotta love it.

If you don't need touching up go with the natural. If however you have something to hide. Only show your best features. Most guys will not turn you away in the heat of the moment. When you are there taking off you clothes they may think "Wow her ass sure looks bigger than the picture, but they won't be able to resist the urge to screw you when you give them that big come get me smile of yours."
Why would any guy want to see a girl open up the door that doesn't look as her pictures????

It must be you, it must be current, and it is definitely ok to look your best.
Looking like you just got up doesn't do it for me. LOL
Au Natural! Glamour shots are not REAL!
Deanna, I concur with the two prior gentlemen...all natural pics
Definitely the real, untouched pic's. that look like person I am going to see. BTW, what is the link for your site?

Go for both. This way those of us who like the centerfold-esque pictures, like myself, can fill in our fantasies with the glamour shots while we wait to meet you, while the truth in advertising brigade will not be surprised when the door opens......
Without question a picture of you looking as normal as possible. Untouched. Just you looking great. Personally, I never found those "Glamor Shots" to be that glamorous.
Real shots of real women in real clothes (or none) with no air-brushing, or touched-up shots. One or two is OK ... but I don't think the whole gallery should be studio shots.

I HATE it when a provider has photos that look like a drop dead babe, then the door is opened by her mother. "Hi, is Deanna at home?"
EOM
consider changing photographers. A good photographer should be able to make you look very good and completely natural at the same time without resorting to a lot of "post production" work. A lot of the problem may in fact be makeup.
When it comes to makeup, it has been my experience that many women don't know how to prepare themselves for a photo shoot. If you're not interested in hiring a makup artist or stylist, check out the following books by Kevyn Aucoin: Face Forward, The Art of Makeup, and Making Faces. They all have something to offer.
Now, if you're looking for a super-hot, come-and-get-me look, check out the makeup tips section of Asia Carrera's site. I've added a link for those who are interested.
As for what I prefer? I prefer well-crafted photographs that look like the woman that opens the door.
i dont use glamour shots.. i have my own camera and my friends take them.. i was just wondering what you guys thought about them.. i always figured why look like something im not .. if they like what they see they will call and then when they get there they will not be dissappointed.. hugs deanna
you need some shots that accentuate your best features (eyes, lips, breasts, legs, butt); some shots that are pure fantasy - no matter whether they are achieved by pose, costume, mask, or airbrush; and some shots that are just you, totally unretouched.
If you have to have your pics airbrushed ... well something must be wrong
Whatever the picture, I am one of those who prefer to see the woman in clothes...I like a bit of mystery and anyway, women are always sexier in clothes-albeit sexy ones...tells me more about her tastes. For instance, the plastic high heels with the bordello outfit is a turn off for me...on the other hand, a pretty summer dress, revealing the figure and a lovely smile on the face and I am butter in your hands...my $0.02. Good luck with your poll.
they used photgraphers who use Photoshop to enhance their pictures. Doing things such as slimming down legs, slimming down rearends, removing cellulite, adding hair volume, whitening teeth, removing all skin flaws, etc. The enhanced photos really move the girls up the scale from a 6 or 7 to an 8 or 9. In my opinion, it's a mistake because the photos are not what the girl looks like in person.
I prefer undoctored snapshots that allow you to see just what your getting. I avoid providers who only show studio-type shots, or who avoid revealing their entire body front amd back
Natural, sexy, with just enough covered up to be very suggestive. Want to see your face and smile, not your crotch.
Natural..... maybe with a little makeup !!
You are "internet dating" and decide to go out with a guy with a heavily retouched picture. How would you feel?
i always post real pics.. the first ones i ever posted were quite hilarious and could have used some cutting... lol.. i agree that we should all use our real pics
The best advice I could give is to have a variety of pictures on your site - and realize you'll never make everyone happy! No matter how "real" your pictures look, someone will complain.
