And I just don't mean a partial view or a slightly blurred view.

despite, however, nonetheless, in spite of, although.

I've noticed ladies with both blurred and non-blurred photos.

but haven't had to depend on face shots to make my decision.  

You know the rules once one person shows a face and gets the customer where the girl who doesn't show the face is losing the business and needs to keep up with the times. She will show her face as well.  

even to the extreme... one of my atfs now is a lady who refused to put any pictures at all on line, instead relying on reviews and her own description of her.  

I'll assume your surgery went well?

thanks yes, recovering at home, though very very tired.  no cancer was found and doctors all say my indicators are great and i'm progressing nicely.  however i don't recommend invasive lung lobectomy to anybody.

It is about 50/50 as to providers showing their faces or not, and it kind of has always been like that.  
I know some ladies change along the way. Some have started by showing that faces then switched to hiding them. Some have started by hiding, then switched to showing. Some have gone back and forth. I just don't notice a trend, but I guess for serious research someone would have to look at a broad spectrum of ads from 10 years ago, 5 years ago, and now.

It isn't just showing "faces" more. It is the super close up, hi-res imagery that, imo, has become more common in the last year or so.  

Are typically the very serious gals. They've bought in to what they do. They don't hide what they do from their friends, family, etc. They've decided on this as their career.Some have even done porn previously so not a huge leap.  

Thanks for your new reply. I was hoping I would hear from someone who has pics that I was referring to.

Just pointing out an observation. Although, yea, for some of us we are concerned that the lady might be putting her future wishes in jeopardy for the short term.  

I am a provider who does not show her face online and yes I have thought about unblurring face pics.
However,just as fast I think about showing my face unfortunately I cannot take that risk.
If a provider is out to her friends and family it is easier to come to a decision but when people don't know it can be a hard decision.
I have seen some providers who use to blur now show their face but I have also seen providers who use to show their face are now cropping and blurring.
It is an individual decision but later after I am out of this business I don't want face pics floating around the internet

I have no doubt that potential clients getting a guarantee that I don't have a fucked up mug would equate to more bookings and therefore, more cash. Unfortunately, since this is neither a legal business nor a business that jives with social standards, it's just not worth the short term benefits for me to justify it personally.  

When I stopped caring what other people thought of me, and at the same time let go of that useless ego shit, I became so happy and content.

. . . and the same people are going to find faults in your present self and make assumptions about your future without a doubt. Personally, those are the kind of employers, family relatives, and associates that I wouldn't want to be around. Stalkers and serial killers too.  

Can you prove it?

Seriously?...all hookers project exclusivity and busyness so board sleuths report back to their buddies the hookers are busy as fuck. It's a snowball effect. I see manipulative trolls desire for unsuspecting hookers to buy in so perhaps the trend continues. I think in that twisted hobby brain you feel somewhat empowered and in control of something you really have no control of.  

i've never met you and can only see your pictures with your blurred face

You would lie your ass off, he would believe every word you said, he would give you even more money, you would tell him even bigger lies, and so on and so on and so on. Until you bled him completely dry. I'd give that process about a month. lol

oh yes. I eat guys like this one with his 5 reviews for breakfast for about a minute.  

I am not ashamed of doing this. I enjoy it and find it quite liberating, but that doesn't mean I will put identifying photos on the web.

hey're "out" to the world with what they do and who they are?

"if anyone was able to find my escorting pictures, they wouldn't be able to do so without 'outing' themselves."  
How incredibly sad and naive.  Your anonymity is the only reassurance of freedom to leave it all behind without worry when and if you decide to exit the lifestyle and retire the sex trade.  You've met far too many people to possibly know who might out you...a cunning, vengeful individual determined to fuck up your world will ensure you never see it coming or connect the dots back to them.  

Please don't draw the eyebrows back in.

Most people really do care what other people think about them. It's human nature. If she didn't care, she wouldn't feel compelled to post in defense of broadcasting her face. To each their own but still a dick move by a chick whether she proclaims to give a damn or not. Maybe she doesn't now but one day, she will.  I read a lot of what the gals come on here and post. Yeah, We all did/do but there are few to none posting truths and with transparency. It's hype generating interest, revenue, bed buddies, drama and some awkward friendships too. But really, most of it's bullshit.  She'd look rather foolish and boring coming here proclaiming anything else when she's gone and put it out there, wouldn't she?

Doubtful being out to the world would effect busyness.  Successful hookers can stay as busy as they want, doing it with complete anonymity.  Let the reviews speak along with the back channel which generates more revenue I believe. At least it did for me. And I do believe client who value anonymity preferred traveling, dining and walking into a hotel with a likewise, anonymous whore. It was a big win/win

Brilliant!  You're a wise woman.

I've shown my face since I started in August with no repercussions THUS FAR, but then again I am "out" to most of my friends and family.

I already have two parents that taught me these two things;  

nd it's the same method I use with the girl who cuts my hair.
The guy who fixes my guitars.
My doctor
My dentist
My auto mechanic
My mom and my fucking dad ...

No one talking about being ashame.Trying to survive like rest of prostitutes.Prostitutes promoting Illegal business on all websites.Government want to shut down Illegal business all states

I'm not concerned with any of you hookers.  You're a grown woman, untouchable and above the law. That's a real slippery slope but I'm glad it's working for you at the moment.  I'm not in your business. You're posting in a public forum. I expressed my opinion that's all. I could care less if you're a super ho that banks a lot of cash or a streetwalker sucking dick for crack and end up with a toe tag in a body bag. You've already got all the answers so you don't need any help getting to the top of your food chain.

Eventually, I want to do adult films...so the issue of needing to hide my face for future employment doesn't really apply to me, I guess.  
Personally, I don't care how amazing a woman's body is...if there isn't any attraction for me to her face then I wouldnt be able to get off. That's not to say that a woman needs to look like some photoshopped model in real life...but a nice smile..warm eyes...these attributes go a long way.  
I think hobbiest that book women with blurred faces love taking a chance. When it comes to spending the kind of money some of you spend..I couldn't imagine wanting to take a chance. I love that people know what they're getting when they come to visit me. The thought of someone being disappointed when I open that door terrifies me.  
And as Roxanne would say..that's just my humble opinion.

I too have realized a huge increase in ladies exposing their faces. I opt for a smidge of blur so people can see I have a cutie pie face but I don't think I would feel comfortable with high res pics. Thats what reviews are for. Sometimes when people ask but how do I know you are not ugly I giggle and say read my reviews. Sometimes I feel I need to blur my face more but then Im too lazy because that means I would have to change every ad lol to each their own.

That's how I met her.. she showed her face in her Aldo pics.. Huge mistake.. Her family was told all about her activities by well meaning jerks.. Her baby daddy made a big deal out of it and she lost her son for custody because of it. so they should be very careful..

And still no (Serpious/TTT/Eppie) chiming in to tell you how stupid your plausible deniability theory is.

The way back machine notwithstanding, there are ways to disappear off the web when it becomes time to do so.

Maybe he's  taking a break. He has always had spurts when he is away from the boards. Sometimes voluntary (I assume) and other times, TER imposed. I'm sure it's a just a matter of time before he's back, possibly under a new alias, and stalking TT, and LR's posts.
