I have seen a number of ladies over the years who have not shown their face in advertisements. Most of the time I have been a little disappointed when I met them because my mind had created an image of what I expected them to look like. They most were still attractive so that wasn't an issue. Plus they all had great bodies.

But i am curious. Is this something other guys experience? Do you create unrealistic expectations? Or have you mainly had pleasant surprises?

I am just curious. I understand why some ladies choose not to show their faces. I have just wondered for a while if other guys do the same thing as me.

I can only imagine that it is much worse for ladies. I have seen the shock on their faces when they first opened the door and realized I wasn't exactly Brad Pitt.

I have always hoped that the expression on my face would never show any disappointment or distaste for whoever was on the other side of the door.
I know that when I first started in this hobby, I kinda thought I was Pretty Woman and my dates were Richard Gere. But I soon learned that my dates were  normal guys, from varied backgrounds and origins. All diferently looking, but with one thing in common. Their desire for me. And so early on, I took what I thought this hobby was all about, and when my dates come to my door, they are a blank canvas, and I am the artist.

Here is another thought. When I first started out, I did not have face pics. And guys would ask me for a face pic when they emailed me. After maybe, two years in the biz, I decided to put my face out there. So some of my pics, do have my face blurred and some do not. I like to tease, so I have lots of pics that highlight some of my sexy body in parts!
If I were a guy and I was interested in a Lady and she did not post a face pic, I would politely ask, if she had a face pic she was comfortable with sharing.

I do experience the same let down in many cases, although maybe 20% of the time the opposite happens and I am pleasantly surprised.

I think you hit the nail on the head – the blurring of the face allows you to supply whatever ideal image you want. I am fascinated by how dramatically a little blurring can alter appearances.

Generally I try to go by TER reviews rather than pics on Web sites for the reason you mentioned. I notice that the majority of guys don't comment on the provider's facial appearance in their reviews. I don't either. It seems too hurtful to come right out and mention a feature you don't like, especially if the woman is a good performer.  But I do look for reviews that give me a sense of the woman's appearance. Even the rating help. I'm always curious that some woman gets 8s for appearance even though in their ad they look like a definite 10.

While I guess i imagine what is not shown, I am not usually disappointed.  I hate to say this, it sounds so hokie, but a sensual smile or a nice carriage or sparkling eyes with the right attitude makes me happy.  

I only get disappointed if the lady is sensually unappealing (bad BO for example) or has a bad attitude (is clearly not happy to be there with me.)

I will never forget a lady I met who was really beautiful and had the single most beautiful vagina I have ever seen.  She also had the worst attitude of anyone I ever met in the hobby.  No review, but I would have rated her in the negative range.

More often than not, I'll be spending time with a lady who wouldn't give me a second look on the street. Like you, I'm not exactly Brad Pitt, but I don't think I'm Quasimodo either. I've been told by a couple of ladies that I look like Charles Manson, and I've been called "cute" by others, so I guess some women think that Charlie is cute. I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that.

Most of the ladies that I've seen, who don't have face pictures on their websites have actually been pleasant surprises when we finally met. Some of the ladies have password protected pictures on their websites, and of all who do, I've only asked for the password once. Just the fact that they will see me, and let me touch them is a touchdown for me.

few ladies I've seen who had their faces blurred out in their ads were very attractive. As a matter of fact, I even put this in one of my reviews. I completely agree with the other gentlemen that attitude makes up for less-appealing physical attributes.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder but i dont because

I have this awful fear one of my kids or someone I know will see me, as i keep this part of my life a secret

I find myself looking at pictures, trying to find out what she's looking to hide.  Are her arms across her midsection because of a gut?  Are none of the pics topless because of sag?  So, naturally her face is blurred because of the accident.  Of course, I'm exaggerating, but I do sometimes wonder who blurs for privacy and who because she's not got a great face.

I saw one lady with a blurred face that was rather homely, but her appearance ratings were all over the map, so I wasn't surprised.  Other than that, almost every other time was a pleasant surprise.

A friend told me long ago, that by setting the bar really low, he's never disappointed.

I thoroughly review the ladies I choose to be with, and when her scores are 8's and 9's, I have my expectations on seeing a 7, and I do not have an image, in my mind, of what she will look like before hand. I have not been disappointed yet. Typically very please with my choice.

I just took a look at the list of gals I've met and of the ten I met without knowing what their faces looked like, fully 8 of them were as pretty or prettier than I expected, two of them quite a bit more so.

Of the other two, they were certainly more than presentable, meaning I would have opted to see them in any case.

Before the internet, I would meet gals from personal ads and there was never a chance of seeing their faces first, but even of all those experiences, I can only thing of a few out of perhaps a hundred gals I saw who I would term a genuine dissapointment in terms of looks.  (One of them, nevertheless, was quite adept at pleasing and I saw her a few times.)  

That's not bad odds.

not because Im ugly or anything, but I do value my privacy. You know, I hate to be in a store somewhere and some yells out something rude or obnoxious, because they saw my face on TER or RB! But I will say this, I may not have reviews on TER just yet, but I do have reviews elsewhere and the gentlemen that I did meet have been pleasantly surprised the way I look. Telling me that my pics don't do me justice. So its all up to the hobbyist and whether or not they want to risk seeing a lady without a face pic. But if she doesn't it won't hurt to ask for one.

Most of the men I meet say I look better in person (or so they say). I don't show my face for a number of reasons and -- because of that -- I certainly would not send a picture to a gentleman. Why would I? If I'm not showing my face on a website, then I'm certainly not going to show it via email. I don't want my face plastered on the internet to come back and haunt me some day.

I guess what I'm saying is that I understand your disappointment, but then don't see ladies who block out or blur their faces. Of course, you may be missing out on some pretty faces.

were one of my very pleasant surprises.

who have their face pics up and complete strangers  come up to them in public places and ask them if they are yada yada. That is a scary proposition to me. YIKES!! I dont really want my mother or my children involved in that moment. At least if I have screened and played with somebody there has been some degree of discretion agreed upon. Not to say everybody we meet is going to be discreet if we run into them in public but that is a different topic I believe.

When I first started years ago.. I used to send my face pic in email.. until a friend of mine alerted me that somebody had taken that face pic, copied it into a copy of my website, and it was up on an international board. I wrote them and luckily they immediately took it down.  

Discretion is not a need for everybody in this hobby... but for those of us that it is... please respect that.

The imagination can be a wonderful friend and a wonderful enemy. If the face is so important to you, only see providers with the facial reference. Images show what they show, photographers learn how to pose models to accentuate the good and minimize the less desirable. Even an "ugly" person might have a good face photograph if taken at just the right angle or in the correct lighting. I have seen glamor shot pictures of friends' wives and hardly recognized the woman. If you must imagine before the meeting, set your expectations lower and you will be pleased...this is simple psychology.

Maybe practice your I am happy face for when you meet the lady. I am certain, she practices her's for you.

Many of us do not show our faces because we travel with our clients extensively....and we need to be very very much on the DL.

I have been out of state and out of the country on business with my clients and seen MY CO-WORKERS THERE WITH ANOTHER CLIENT OF MINES. So if I knew who these ladies are.....how many other people knew who they were and why they were there? Think of how uncomfortable it would be for my clients secretary, business partner, co-worker, boss, relative or a baby momma to know how I am connected to my client?

This is a huge part of the reason I change my hair weekly. Or cover my tattoos for months at a time......got to keep it moving!!

bother me if I was fortunate enough to get to Phoenix again to see you.  You truly know how to please a man in multiple ways.
