Does a face pic really matter?

[dearhunter]

If you're already in for the pound, why quibble over the face?

I'd say definitely matters but mainly for my wife (trying to do this together) and she likes pretty girls, not just nice bodies.

What confuses me is when I see profile pictures with such a light blur that anyone who knows the person at all would recognize. Take CD for example:

Ms Davenport

Caroline, don't take this as criticism, you are one beautiful lady—but anybody who knows you would recognize you in those photos.

And Anna, if your face looks as good as your tushy, you are one good looking lady.

No offense taken at all. But you are wrong. No one would recognize me in those photos. I'm a professional, darling. I think about these things a lot more than you do. It's my job. I'm not trying to be mean at all, and I hope it doesn't sound that way. It's just that I know things about myself and those photos that you don't know, and I won't explain, because it would defeat the purpose of having done it in the first place. And thank you very much for the compliments!

I'm sure my lack of face pictures costs me money. Most everyone who has met me can vouch for my face. But.. I've managed to navigate this world for many years without a criminal record, meaning that getting out is still quite a valid option for me. I'd rather not have anything out there that can screw me out of being able to do what I want to do with my life in about 2 more years.

I just saw you the other day at Trader Joe's, now wait.. was it Starbucks? ...hmmm... No come to think of, I would not recognize you from those pictures. Now....if you were to walk about the city topless, or peraps fully nude with a blurry face mask on.... that might be a different story.

This thread really kinda turned. The op was asking based on circumstance. Yes face does help in the process, how could it not? However, think about all the variables before doing so. A smiley face tattoo at 20 is a sad face at 65

Face or no Face is a personal decision that will be different for each provider.
More importantly is having good photo rather than a selfie with a smart phone that is grainy and your are contorted to take the photo which is not flattering. Having the toilet in the backdrop when you take a photo in the the bathroom mirror is not to sexy. When the showcase photo has clothes, pizza boxes, beer bottles or whatever as you take a selfie in the mirror the viewer will not get to your face. I would imagine there are hundreds of amatuer photographers with a Digital SLR camera on eccie that can take outstanding high resolution photos. Just good pics not photo shopped. If you dont want your face in the photo he/she can crop or pixilate / or set the scene without the face in the photo. The photographer can hand you the SD card out of the camera and you have all the digital pics to do with at you please. When I am taking the photographs I try and get about 25 to 30 good shots on the ladies so they can rotate them in and out of the showcase and keep it fresh. BTW, it takes about 600 photos to get the 25 or 30 good ones so allow a couple of hours for the shoot. An SD card is about 15.00 cost of the photographer if hobbyist I am sure can be bartered. IMHO.

Most of my favorite providers never showed their face. My atf Alyssa XOXO, Abigail, Tatiana (San Antonio), Slave G (San Antonio) and MarilynMilf (Ft. Worth). A lot of times the face pic is trying to compensate for other flaws.
