on her website?? there are a few who   state" If YOu Want To See  more".. or "If you want to see my naked pictures.."  you must  join, or send $$ via Paypal, or some other means.... To me  it means this provider  is overdoing the  business end, and may not be  
all  she is "Cracked up" to be when it comes to GFE?... any other opinions on this???.

I agree with you.

I'll pay money to go to a theatre and watch a movie because that's the business that they're in.   But I won't go to Good Guys (for example) and be expected to pay an extra $5 to get into their high-end video room where their object is to sell me something expensive.

So the question is ... what business is the girl in?   If her web site gives you enough information to make an informed [sic] decision about seeing her, and the pay web site is for the at-home jack-off dweebs, then fine - she's just an enterprising girl with two business ventures going.

But if she expects you to pay more to see her SO you can make a decision on seeing her ... N E X T!!!!!

Now ... in my opinion (also known as the "right" or "correct" opinion) a classy provider will giver her CLIENTS an access code for 30 days worth of free access to her paid web site each time they visit.   At least that's sort of what my ATF does ... she has a private web site for clients only.

I couldn't imagine seeing a provider who charges you to see their website unless they were a pornstar or internet model.

I know there are some high end agencies who charge  to see their models but I don't know if I would do that.  The girls are too expensive for what they offer.

I will however freely admit to paying the $100 for the Viking Cruise website since I wanted to see whether they had real girls or were actually some sort of leper colony.  You get that money back if you go too.  May have to wait till next year though.  Be hard to explain how I went on a business trip to the Northeast in January and came back with a sun burn on my ass. LOL

as for providers with this bullcrap scam, i once again agree with Pig [gulp] ... why wasn't i informed [sic] they could enforce [sic] their avarice on us like this? (it's true, i've never seen this kinda webpage)


ahh ... the humanity!

It is the height of cynical business practices to charge someone who hasn't even made a decision about your services yet.  If a woman is hot enough to do the web-cam thing or post Net pics and charge for them, more power to her.  However, that should be separate from her potential escort business, and you don't need to show all that much to show enough for somene to make a decision on seeing you as an escort.

Having said this, I have never encountered a TER provider I was interested in who did this, and that is why I only use TER providers.

I don't give advertisers credit for taking advantage of people who are too new to the "system" to know its pratfalls.  A sucker may be born every minute, but we don't necessarily need to congradulate those who take advantage of them. A healthy society (or sub-society, like TER) will only discourage these types of practices, which are not good for the business in the long run.  

There will be advertisers out there who continue to do this, regardless, but they should never be looked at as having "superior business acumen" for taking advantage of the weak. That would be like shareholders buying into Union Carbide because it sidestepped "costly" environmental practices that led to the killing of all those people in Bhopal, India.  Oops...bad example...

Have to agree with Pig's assessment but with a slightly different take. Guys coming from and through TER are expecting that a provider's primary market is seeing clients. That's our perspective. But some providers make more money from their websites than they do seeing clients. There's a whole world of these folks. Few of them, however, are regularly-reviewed providers.

So rather than fault them for a second income stream, its important to figure out which type of provider's site you are looking at.
As an example (guessing here --never asked her), there's a stunning woman in Las Vegas named Lisa Storm. She does a lot of webpage work and probably makes more of her living than she does doing sessions. Still,though, she does do sessions. (I've not yet had the pleasure).

Just wanted to point out another perspective.

As others have said, it indicates the girl is confused about her separate businesses.  I have no problem with a girl doing both, but keep the two businesses separate - meaning use two completely separate web sites.

I've never paid to 'see more' & never will.  It's a more or less automatic skip-over to me...not necessarily because the idea pisses me off (although it is annoying) but because there's usually so little in the 'free' section.

Who knows the reasonings..more income, different income, REPORTABLE income??

One of the ladies' websites was so gaudy, so Las Vegas, it REALLY was a turnoff in GENERAL, but, then, I see that she's also in Porn movies, and so maybe that's to be expected. Yuck.

But, for the regular Provider, who also has this pay-view thing going on, if it's separate, on another page and completely apart from all her Provider info, doesn't bother me.

All in the presentation.

In MHO the provider that advertises FBSM and delivers on that service is on target when the client asks for 'More'. When she is ASKED for more she has the right to offer what she feels comfortable with, such as BJ or FS. She is entitled to charge for the added service. My favorite provider does that very well and she enjoys her clients very much. But she never upsells her services, she waits for the client to ask for more. Classy woman to be sure.

Now, if the provider advertises a service such as FBSM and then asks for extra money to provide what most of us would consider part of the service, THAT's not good business.

I don't even waste my time ... no matter what she's offering or what. Teasing, creating some enticement or whatever.

It's kinda like having to pay to look at a car before a test drive. Let me see it a little first, then I'll let you know if I wanna take it for a drive.

Then again, as long as she has some photos available ... that should be enough of an indicator as to whether she's what you're looking for.

I regularly receive a link to a website like this after messaging a cute girl on adultfriendfinder.  Typically I get one or two emails back that look plausible and the message says that they've posted their phone and email on the third page.  You then have to pay for one of these so called age verification services.  I did that once, and when you try to go back to the "third page" you get consistently thrown into a mess of porn sites and pop-ups.  what a scam.  There are only about 6 or so of these form letters so I immediately picked up on the scam when I got a duplicate from a different gal.

If they ask for age verification using one of the many "services" before going to the third page (or some variation), then forget it.  Not a real provider.
