has ever seen a provider who had very high TER ratings with plenty of reviews but NO pictures?  If you have not, then would you consider seeing a provider just based on her profile, rating, and reviews?  What would need to be true to see a provider with no pictures (e.g., 30+ stellar reviews, TER rating of 9.5, and $300/hr)?  What is your rationale?    

In fact, I have never encountered this so I think your hypothetical is FOS. How else in the world would I know if she pushes my buttons? Hell, I won't even go from her ad to her web site if there's no picture in the ad.  Any girl who runs an ad without a picture is an idiot.  Or at least she won't get my business.  There are a few girls who have animated gifs as pictures.  I like that.

In fact, that is how I met my SB last year.

Jake,

I remember seeing reviews by some prolific reviewers. But, I'm not going to see any woman without at least a few body pics.

Part of being attracted to someone is physical appearance. I want to know what my partner is going to look like. Especially if I'm booking a BBW. I will want to make sure she's a BBW, not a beached whale.

...I was on a civie dating site and a woman contacted me, wanting to meet and talk. The catch? No photos of her (my profile had photos posted). We talked a bit and I agreed to meet for coffee, against my better judgement. 30 seconds in, I knew this was going nowhere -- call me a shallow pig but if there's no physical attraction at the onset (and looks are a part of that for me), we won't be progressing to the next level.

as I believe TER rules state that a condition of being reviewed and having a profile is that the provider have a link to some website that has a photo of her.

There are THOUSANDS of reviews that plainly state "no pics"  

can be given without the pics. It is shilling or paid or whatever else. Trust me on this, I am cute. Xo

The TER rules state that a provider needs a web presense (internet ad , website etc.) that includes her name and contact info. There has never been a rule that she needs a photo. In the profile, one of the replies under, "Are photos accurate?" is "no photos"

Ever thought they are perfectly happy without your business? Since a lot of providers post ads without pics, it must be working just fine for them.

Unheard of, what you see, or don't see, in your case, you get Surprised.. There should allways be photos, at least at her website.. Xo

Here are 42,547 examples.

Has our Archivist done some research?  If so, please share it.  Or are you simply assuming "they are perfectly happy" without the additional business they might get?  If you wish to assume that, fine. But it's no more valid than for me to assume they're idiots.

I thought that was a rule.  

.....a young woman approached me about getting started. She wanted to try working but was not willing to use her photos (she was in the middle of a child custody battle) and asked how bad it would be to use some cropped photos of someone who looked similar. Very risky! We eventually met for coffee and the gal was drop dead gorgeous - never seen anyone THAT good looking before or since. I told her if she posted an ad linked to something benign like a blog I would support her in the context of saying she was genuine (and stunning!)
Never did she use photos and she became a consistent 10/9 on here. She has since delisted as she has happily moved on but she is proof it can be done....

Or perhaps Prune Juice? LOL!

Here is a rather long list of women who seem to have done just fine without posting a public pic.

the lady I'm about to give my hard earned cash to, to determine if she is attractive to me, it isn't going to happen based on words alone.

with no reviews and no TER rating than no pictures, and I do when I'm in the mood once in awhile to TOFTT.  The happiness/disappointment ratio by selecting from photos ONLY is aboiut 50/50 for me.  

If not even a photoshop and blurring can make several pics worth sharing, I'm not interested. I'm not quite as dumb as I look.

Never in my life would I see someone sight unseen.

It works for me and I'm happy with how I run my Hannah business.
For every person who "requires" a photo prior to booking, there are just as many that don't.  To each his own.

I might consider to book an appointment if the provider was willing to meet for a drink beforehand to see if there was a connection. I wouldnt want to miss out on something potentially fantastic and I wouldnt mind buying a women one drink! Not sure how many providers would go for that though.

meet for a drink to see if they're "fuckable" IYHO.

Yet many guys will take a chance with an unknown with less info at the same price point.

others to tell me if someone is hot or not. No fuckin way! Ive seen too many "model material" ladies who were rated a "wee bit" higher then I thought they should have been. I realize that looks are subjective and I'm a critical bastard, but NO F...ing WAY!

When you scroll down a ad to see a pic and there isn't one. That's why the pictures come after the words.
