OK, I need to vent out my frustration. How many of you hobbyists are victims of the old "bait and switch" technique?  It has happened to me a number of times.  The ads posted would show providers as beautiful, young  hot women.  When you meet the provider in person, she would make your grandmother look like a Playboy Centerfold.  This is really pure bullshit !!! What is the best way can I avoid a trap like that again?  I do not want to assume all ads are false and miss the opportunity to really meet a beautiful provider.  Thank goodness that we have TER post reviews of providers BUT not all providers are reviewed on TER.

...invent a system where we could find out in advance, you know, like before we get "trapped."  

Are not deceiving, when in doubt, you can always google the number or email or run images on tineye.com
Sometimes even posting on the local board may help you, but it is just easier to find someone with a established rep here...

This site is all about just what you are talking about.  I will NOT see a provider without reviews, the more the better.  The cost of TER is minimal compared to wasting money on a dupe.  I have never walked on anyone but i'm prepared to do so if this ever happens again.  Many times you will see photos of the same girl, but they are sometimes 5 years ago or longer.  I do expect the ladies to try and have the best photos of themselves looking their best, but don't exaggerate this to the extreme.  Many like to hide the stretch marks and other imperfections.  This can be such a turn off that it ruins the whole experience.  Generally, (not always) you get what you pay for.  If you see a really hot but unreviewed babe on BP for 100 bucks, there is a 99% chance you will be very disappointed with the results.  The ones that charge 400  and look 10 years older and well worn are the real killer ... walk on them, and then write a review so we all can avoid her!

switched all my switched to motion sensors so I can easily avoid them.  

then it probably is.

You might be doing yourself a favor if you just don't visit that site any longer

to a complete answer -

Tineye is you're friend http://tineye.com/ The site searches the web for identical pictures being used. You enter a picture or URL and it will tell you if the picture is being used on multiple sites by different users.

And NOT give them a nickel. Why reward bad behavior? It tells them there is another sap out there willing to throw something at them for what..... lying?  

If the girl is only slightly older or slightly different from her perfect model photos yet still hot, then I stay.  

but somehow the advice doesn't seem to take. It seems like the guys that bitch the most about B&S are the guys who have a dozen reviews that start off with

"She wasn't the hottie in the picture, but I figured WTF, I am already here, so I went ahead with it"

How many reviews like that have you read? I agree, until "hobbyists" grow a spine, this shit is never going to end. and what are the chances of hobbyists ever growing a spine? I would say those odds are less than zero if that's even possible.

BTW you are starting to sound more and more like a certain "biatch" that seems to be absent of late. I recall you even calling someone a "fool" please don't start using the trademarked term "whilst" or people are going to start to talk. lol

The OP said this has happened to him a "number of times." Now, I'm no dummy, so I think "times" is plural, which means at least twice, but I am guessing it means more than that as well.

Bitching about it while knowing full well what the risks of TOFTT involves is stupid and pointless.

The OP has reviews going back almost four years. There is no excuse for TOFTT and then bitching about it here.

Whining and bitching about B&S BP women on this site is about as useful as complaining that the sun always comes up in the east.

And where I was born, that is what we actually say and here's few others, learnt as opposed to learned, amongst and whilst. They are commonly used. I have had to stop using them here.

Probably a saucy little minx in her younger days......

One of the best liked "biatches" that has ever posted here, and I have noticed more than a few similarities, which is intended as a compliment.

When you called someone here a "fool" not long ago, you sounded just like her.  Don't worry, all you have to do is say "you like big dicks" and all the comparisons will stop. lol

and her "hip replacement" years are in full swing. She doesn't cause any boners anymore (if she ever did) but now she sure has the antedote for them now.

She does have a dirty mind though. I love her wit, always will.

Sorry, I love the small johnsons, so versatile with what I can do with them and actually like it. LOL.

Now if you could get your post count up high enough to knock me out of first place in the TER's "biggest blabbermouth" department, all would be right in the world. lol
