Just visited a provider's TER profile after viewing her post on the TER "Ad Board."  Once in her TER profile, clicked on the link to her website to view her photos to see what she looked like and her photos were "locked to members only."

I don't know why ladies think they should charge more, just because they have a TER profile.

....that it becomes a sort of low level extortion. "You wanna see the pics, you gotta pay". I think that providers that choose to go that route risk losing a lot of business.
Fuggedaboudit.

In person, while the bartender tends bar, and the DJ disc jockeys.

I will see a provider without pics if there are reviews that describe her to be my taste.  However, I've never paid extra to see pics of a provider on her site.

There is a common free escort website that recently began doing this without telling the gals.  There is a way to undo it.  Email her and tell her about it and see if she will undo the restrictions.

I can understand password protecting a gallery for discretion reasons, but most are still free. The OP's situation is most likely one of those cookie cutter sites where it's automatic. Several threads about this on various boards. Most women have no clue it's being done, but one of the many reasons I would never have a free site

I have yet to come across this issue.

....as having to pay, but to be honest if I am looking thru a provider's site and I hit a wall where I am asked to submit my email so that I can get a password to see her pics, I'm moving on.  I am very fortunate that I live in an area that is rich in providers, so it's on to my next possible choice. It's just a big PITA to have to deal with submitting requests and waiting for an email response that you may or may not ever get.

Im so freaking annoyed with the website I have my profile/webpage hosted thru/on.... They have my pix locked & want hobbyists ... members to sign up.... GGGRRRRRR.... My regulars are annoyed too.......    Anyone who knows where I can create a new website that doesn't try to bank off my Fucking pictures please pm me or send me an email at [email protected].  or suggestions on a web where I can create a new site or someone who creates a site would be appreciated. ......

Most people will not pay to look at pics. I certainly won't.
It's the websites that are doing this. Many of the providers are not even aware of it, and they don't getbthe money either. The websites do. Why don't you contact the provider and let her know. I think the websites are doing a big disservice to their customers.

That the photos listed on their site contain adult material and must be protected from "Minors"! I agree 100%, but that is why they place those disclaimers on the very first page...right?? The hosting site is allowing us to turn off the "safe mode" which all photos will be shown to the public and not protected!! Shame on us for displaying natural beauty to men:-

I find it strange that a lady would ask potential clients to pay to view her pics without having a single pic of hers on public view. I know that discretion is really important to me, yet I try to show as much of my face as I'm comfortable with without giving my entire identity away. I think that not showing your face as a provider or showing any part of yourself is just bad marketing. With all the marketing/branding classes I've taken I know how important it is to create desire through a visual image in order to generate business. I've often been asked to set up a private members area for a monthly fee etc but right now that just seems to be too tiresome as I'd rather be out enjoying "live dates" than behind a camera lens taking pictures all the time. In this case it seems like if the lady is aware of what she is doing then she might want to find some ways to at least reveal a small portion of herself so that potential clients know that she is legitimate..or perhaps her entire marketing plan is based on being mysterious

Here are a few automatics in this field of fake dreams.  

I have TWO pages of locked pictures ..
 One page - about 80 regular life pictures with face and landmarks..
 and other open porno with anal sex and pussy lips ..
 and  
 and ..
 and I OFTEN am asked for password..
 YET I gave password only to those who prepad-  
 deposited via paypall toward to date .
 
Many dates EVEN DO NOT ASK FOR PICTURES at all

that a guy has to prepay to even view your photos and book?

If I want photos of naked women, I will subscribe to Hustler, Playboy, Penthouse, etc.

I have seen a few that lock you out ,but just until you request access to their website and pictures.
And I DON'T LIKE IT, but I would NEVER PAY to access their pictures or website.
WAY to many beautiful fish in the sea

Why not use a different website host... Problem solved.

I agree with you lopaw.  free advertising even the more explicit pics would mean more business

she's off my list to see.  Sorry gals, I just will not pay to see your pics when there are soooooo many out there that I can see for free.  You lose!!!!
