I enjoy looking at the photo only board almost daily, and we are blessed with some beautiful, curvy and sexy looking ladies.  However there are a few that I really question whether they or someone in their circle has really looked at them  and whether they really show them at their best.  Bad lighting, bad angles, bad poses, etc, and I'm not-talking about some of the more creative and artistic poses. Not trying in insult anyone, just saying take another look.

Enjoy photo hobbyists.Good way hobbyists pick up phone and call.

but others are NOT, NOT, NOT and require gallons of eye bleach after viewing.

I am not going to mention any names, as that would be "mean" but come on ladies you have eyes too, some of you quite frankly look better with MORE clothes on, not less. It's not the lighting, the angles or the poses, it's not the jeans that make your ass look fat, it's your fat ass that makes your ass look fat.

Ok, let the BSU's start flaming me now for telling the simple, ugly truth about the photo board.

but in the words of a relatively famous fucking fucker, "tell me I'm wrong"

I got pounded by pms. I had suggested that perhaps a spread legged selfie, in a poorly light cheap motel room, does not portray the best image. Tied to her requested donation amount it was not a combination that was of interest to me. She was mad, how dare I make a negative comment about her.

On the positive side Julia Jones understands marketing and uses photography to tell a very enticing story.

Cinderella has the best outfits. She was kind enough to respond when I asked where she bought several of them.

and there are others that I wish would show a whole bunch less. As to not becoming a "suck up" I won't divulge who I think should show a bit more skin and as to not be overly "mean" I won't call out those who should show a whole bunch less.

Speaking of PMs, I wonder just how many irate PM's I will get from the OTHFBC and their ardent supporters calling me out for being so insensitive? lol

I will confess, there are a few women who post on the photo board who are so hot I am tempted to hop a plane just to spend a couple of hours with them, but there are others who make me want to join a monastery.

I just reviewed the Photo Board for the past week. Guess what?  Every single photo, except for a few new ones from today, has multiple Likes.  

Just another reminder, along with variations in Appearance scores on reviews, that looks are subjective and there's someone for everyone.  

Personally I like some photos there a lot more than others. But I'll bet for every photo I like, there's some guy who thinks "too skinny" or "too muscular" or "oh no, look at those tats, ugh!" etc etc.  

But while I skip past some photos pretty quickly, none has yet made me reach for the eye bleach.  And I keep in mind that no one is forcing me to look at those photos.

In a bar in the Florida Keys I saw a wonderful sign, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

Before I was looking the punch line! ;-)

Now that I think on it, you're right.   It is a bit odd that no one expressed any real outrage over your comments.

So, in an effort to pick up the "flak slack" as it were, I shall endeavor to give you as hard of a time as I'm willing to do without charging you for it.  LMAO.  ;-)

If you find images so repulsive that you feel the need to maim yourself in order to eradicate such images, then by all means, go ahead and do so!  I don't think anyone here is going to shed copious amounts of tears were you to do as you probably ought, and simply refrain from looking altogether, given how disturbing you find it to accidentally glimpse a woman who's not up to your standards of beauty.  (holy run-on sentence, batman! lol)

You know, having worked in strip clubs for years, I can say that there are just as many women who don't dress to accentuate the positives and thus look better naked, than those who look better clothed.  Of course, just like what you wrote, this is only MY opinion.  
I used to watch way too much daytime TV talk shows (Springer!) and saw lots and lots of verrrrry BBW women strutting their stuff in spandex, rolls and dimples on full display, completely confident that they looked DAMN GOOD!  
I also have seen sad episodes featuring women with eating disorders, completely emaciated and unhealthy looking, who were also convinced that they looked good...... but possibly needed to lose a little more.

Where's the balance?   Do we tell all women whose BMI would indicate they're overweight that they don't look good?  Need to wear a corset and some major Spanx shapewear in order to post their pics here?  
If so, should we then also police the pics of ladies whose posted height and weight would earn them an "underweight" BMI number?

Once we start telling ladies to take a good long look in the mirror, and that they must adhere to certain "standards",  where does it end?

Lots of folks like disproportionately large asses.  

 
Hell, some posters here (without or without a large rear end), manage to MAKE large asses out of themselves.  ;-P   (I've been saving that one up for awhile LOL.)

Please remember that beauty is (only!) in the eye of the beholder, so I'm certain there's someone who finds those YOU consider "beautiful" to be absolutely repulsive and vice versa.  

In the holiday season, if at no other time, could you please manage to follow this old advice?: If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all!

 
Happy Holidays!!!!  xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxoxxooxxoxooxoxoxoxoxxoxoxoxoxoxo

How in the world is it "insulting" when he didn't name a name and stated the truth?

YOU think ALL the girls on that board have great photos with great poses and great lighting? Be blind in your opinion if you choose, that is your right here, however delusional.

In fact someone needs to be HONEST with some of those girls as it would HELP them get new biz.

The way you present ANY product is key, whether its pizza or pussy.

To dumb it down to the most PC "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" crap does the girls who need some constructive criticism no good at all.

Sheez...

Where's your HONEST "constructive criticism" for specific providers?  Don't you want to help them?  If so, go ahead and give your specific feedback, right here. Since it's only to help them and simply the honest truth, it won't be insulting to anyone, right?

And maybe GaG could chime in with which providers' photos required the most eye bleach.  All in the spirit of helping them, of course.

Come across as a thinly veiled insult if no-one asked for any advice or opinions

Contacted Cinderella and told her I loved her photos and outfits? If she would be kind enough to let me know where she got them?

She hadn't asked for any advice or opinions.

Seriously, what on earth about this discussion is political in nature?  

The definition of "politically correct": conforming to a belief that language and practices which could offend political sensibilities (as in matters of sex or race) should be eliminated ~ Merriam-Webster

So, how were my "sensibilities" in this matter political?  

 
You seem to be equating PC with "polite".  

The definition of "polite": showing good manners toward others, as in behavior, speech, etc.; courteous; civil ~ Dictionary.com  

This is not the first time I've seen someone use the term this way, and it's just plain disheartening to me.  Why?  Because "PC" is rarely used in any tone other than sneering.  Why would anyone sneer at the concept of being polite to others?   I don't get it, I really don't.    

 

Oh, and it's not an insult because he didn't call anyone out by name?  Puh-leeeeeze!  
It doesn't matter that it's non-specific, it's still an insult.  In fact, it could be argued that not being specific might cause multiple women to wonder whether or not THEY were one of the ones to whom the OP referred.  

Insult: To treat with gross insensitivity, insolence, or contemptuous rudeness

Both the OP's comments and yours were, at best, insensitive.  

 
As to ladies who "need some constructive criticism".... who decides this?  

Did you perhaps consider that some ladies might deliberately show their worst photos to avoid disappointed clients?  Everyone has their own strategy.  I know, because my own is similar in some respects.  

There are clients who only see ladies who WILL post the unflattering images, the not-so-great selfies, and avoid providers with all professional, glossy, magazine-ready photos.  

 
Please don't write as though you are speaking for all, when you are really only speaking for yourself.  

 
:-P

Per Merriam the def of PC is "agreeing with the idea that people should be careful to not use language or behave in a way that could offend a particular group of people."

That is EXACTLY what you and your minions are doing. You are bending over backwards to make sure no one could possibly be offended! Even if they aren't even named!!!! LOL

The OP wasn't insulting in any way and its PCers like you and your cohorts in this thread that have to feign your outrage in an attempt to be morally superior.

Some of those girls need honesty, not your rah rah feel good bullshit.

What are the Photo Only rules? You can't use the same pic twice in 30 days? So, if you want to post every day, you need at least 30 different pics? Maybe those bad ones are from the bottom of the barrel. (I wonder who made that 30-day rule? Aldo? Black Lotus?

The rule is not that you can't use the same photo in 30 days. The rule is that you can't use the same photo twice in one month. Not the same thing. For example you can't post the same photo on Nov 1 and Nov 30, but you can post the same photo on Nov 30 and Dec 10.

Thanks, PS, for correcting my error. (I think I made that same error on the Newbie board; some people never learn.)

But the explanation still applies: you need a lot of pictures if you want to post every day and some of them might not be A material.  

I think Aldo, Black Lotus and the other photogs want the rule changed to "can't use the same pic twice in the same YEAR.

I will give you this...you had enough sense NOT to name names. But now grow a pair and contact those you did not like and ask them if they want your opinion. If they say yes, then you can go about constructively letting them know what might help.  

Otherwise, your post is nothing but a dig at the hookers images you found unattractive. Not trying to offend you though.....

At least he tried to sugarcoat it by making excuses about camera angles, lighting and other such things. I said it flat out, "some" women on the Photo board are just plain unattractive and no amount of "Aldoing" them is going to change that fact.

I didn't feel strongly enough about this to make an OP about it, but since the topic is out there, that is the simple fact. Not ALL women are attractive, nor are all men for that matter.

but it's just like the "wash your ass" threads, the women that are the homeliest I am sure still think they are hot stuff. So I doubt I am offending the women who are actually ugly, just the ones with low self esteem I suppose. So to them I apologize. To the OTHFBC I don't apologize, I simply offer the advice to wear more clothes.

You have mentioned to me countless times what shows up at meet and greets and I am sure some hookers would prefer it if they left on their clothes and just stuck their dick out of their pants.

Not all people have a good sense of themselves. And some just do not care what others think. I am one who will not bare my abs in public unless I have a six pack (off season can be tough..lol). It is all relative to how we perceive ourselves.

GaGambler247 reads

In Costa Rica where the girls mainly work the bars at places known to be places where hookers congregate so many of the chicas will do just that, bare their abs when they have a gut. I swear to God some people must not own a mirror.  

I am sure this is something that you and I are going to agree on, if you have any kind of gut at all, do NOT bare your abs. Try to draw attention away from your muffin top or beer belly, don't make our eyes focus on your weak points.

I have compassion for those with eye sight so I am not about to ruin their day....lol. I just wish others thought like that too, but hey what do we know right?

It's not that I am scared to sing, it's that I know just how bad I am at it.

It's the same with a belly. You can't get a belly without being aware of it. I will confess I started getting a beer belly a couple of years ago. I was never really overweight, at 5' 10" I never got over 175, but I could feel how tight my pants were getting and I stopped wearing any kind of clothes that were tight in nature until I dealt with my gut. I took the draconian step of not only hitting the gym with renewed vigor, but I actually quit drinking beer, did you hear me? This drunk gave up beer to keep from looking like a slug and even though the belly is gone, I still don't drink more than maybe a beer a month. Now before you start feeling too sorry for me, I still drink like a fish, it's just beer that I gave up, along with two belt loops. lol I can't stop getting old, but if I still want women to be seen with me in public who haven't reached thirty yet, I better not be old AND fat.

I am extremely strict regarding myself and what I will "show" in public

Not every women spends the time or resources on properly marketing themselves. My biggest issue with the photo only board is that it takes so fricken long to load. (lol)

If you like what you see..... look longer or better yet go to their website and look as long as you want.

If you don't like what you see..... stop looking and keep hitting the down arrow.

It is no different than being at the mall, the beach, the bar, or anywhere else. If you like what you see, keep enjoying the view and if you don't move on. If you feel you are going to be scarred for life or the image is going to be burned into your retinas............... grow up and get a life. Pathetic!!!!!!!!

This post is not targeting the original poster, it is meant to target the Pathetic ones that hide behind a computer and or an alias and feel tough about taking shots because we all know the ones firing away have chiseled bodies and are the definition of perfection.............. Again I say Pathetic!!

I don't judge..........no George Clooney pics please...thank you.

So after reading this thread, I'm curious to see what the fuss is about. I'm sure others went peeking as well

I take a look at the pictures only board most days, and have seen a few ladies from the pictures only board. Several more are on my "to see" list. Great advertising, in my opinion.

I would say that about 25% of the pictures each day get my attention. In fact, I have been fascinated with the "body of work" that a certain few providers have posted over time. At the same time, I can think of a couple of providers who have posted what critics might call "questionable photos" who have caught my attention for some unknown reason and I have them on my "to see" list.  

As it should be. The pictures that don't appeal to me appeal to the wide variety of other hobbyists. The picture board performs a great service.

I post pictures and I hope gents like them.I am sure not everyone will since every guy has his type he likes and does not.But it is free advertising so why not?
Everyone has an opinion I post pictures but I also vote for the pictures I like daily.
I will say that there are some pictures that are not my taste so I don't vote for them.
But I am certainly not going to complain about it or mention names not that anybody has but...
I am sure if the providers looks at the likes of their photos if they only have a few likes well...maybe that particular photo was not a hit.Hey..it happens.
