Showing your face.

[PurplRose]

I know this has come up many times, but I was noticing, after being gone for awhile, that there are a lot of new girls showing their faces.

One day, you will want to have all of them removed, and it won't be easy.

Once you have reviews, the guys will let each other know whether you are cute or not. You don't have to show the one thing that can identify you.

Trust me, you are making a mistake.

Good luck to you all!

Have fun, but above all else, BE SAFE!

I think so too. I myself am a political activist but still i don`t need EVERYONE to know what i decide to do in my life. The fact we are internet advertising is already exhaustive enough.

I also refrain from photos that are still recognisable even if the people blurr their face. I made high class style photos where the face is hidden in a creative way and the part that shows no one can identify with me THAT easy. The only thing to identify is my body (or my tattoo) but then only my friends know said tattoo and they know anyway who i am :-). Freaks or potential dangerous people - or the "plain vanilla fraction" (housewives or people who do not condone my work) do not REALLY need to know who i am and start badmouthing me or even doing more potential dangerous things to me.

I think it can ruin careers (unless you decide to be a role model for sexworker activism) . I once knew a provider who even posted her webpage under her real name because she was a bit naive :-( and obviously no one helped her out in the important things in this buz. That is sad. Showing face is not necessary. So is making really really cheap rates :-)

Isn't that your photo on your avatar?

[NinaBrooke]

it is, but still i doubt you will recognise me that easy, since its a professional photoshoot and my face hardly looks like that in reality. as i mentioned in my post above already. highly professional photoshoots have an art that deducts from reality (hairdo, make up)

[~Ze~]

Yeah, but with tineye and the internet... finding info on someone is as easy as clicking a few keys and hitting enter....


"professional" photo shoot just means THAT image is tied to your name somewhere and curious people will dig for it...

There is no "this pic is ok but those aren't" ... each woman has to decide what she is willing to show.. and she has to know that it will be out there for the REST of her life .... or those around them.

[NinaBrooke]

Oh i know that. I am not THAT stupid, honey. I paid said professional photoshoot for "Nina Sastri" so anyone who finds out more about me (the credit of the photographers are on my page) will still end up with "Nina Sastri" or probably another internet persona, but NEVER my real name. That production was made exclusively for my company. Plus, i do think in fact with all the internet and all these content saved up there, no privacy exists anyhow. Its not possible. So better save than sorry and living an openminded life in the first place.
If i have to be so secretive about what i do and how i live my life, then i PERSONALLY (no pun intended) would not want to be a provider in the first place.
Hypocrisy was never my piece of cake and i am too sensitive and respectful and way too political catering to minorities in my private life that i would DARE to betray said minority by pretending i am NOT an escort!

I do not have to be so secretive. My family knows, my friends know and people that matter to me know. I am still wary about EVERYONE knowing it, but in terms of internet narcissism its easy to find out anything about anybody. I am lucky enough to follow a career pattern where the fact that i am an escort is anything but deducting from my quality of work (yet it adds an interesting aspect) since i cater to alternative lifestyle fellows. I still would not use my real name for escorting for two reasons: 1) My escort persona is not ME, its an escort persona - hollywood stars also do not sell themselves in their movies and 2) i do not need haters spraypainting my appartement or hystrionic haters threatening me- (been there done that...) so a given amount of tell-tale-privacy is still better than to be too open (and i am usually the one that is way too open - much to my detriment in my past i have to say-its hard to believe some people are really so objected to what i do and how i live my life - be it polyamory or being an escort)

No face in pics= no appointment.

Well you have lots of ladies to choose from that show faces...and that comment won't make "me" start showing a face...as there are lots of folks who will see without any photos.

Sometimes the surprise is half the fun.

Also, just because you see a photo and you're attracted to the physical look, doesn't mean the appt. is going to be a success as there have been times when there just isn't a connection--the personality of the lady (OR gent) is terrible or rude, or the services of the lady (are not up to par with the looks), or she upsells or scams you.

I know physical appeal is important to a lot of folks so there's nothing wrong with wanting to meet someone only if you've seen their face (esp. if you've had bad experiences in the past). I'm not knocking that. Just saying, there are more things that can "not click" even if you're attracted to the woman.

For the ladies.......even if you've been posting your face, and then 3 years later want to take it down--like was mentioned, it might be hard. Men have probably saved your pics over the years and/or other sites have stolen them without your knowledge. If you ever become famous, those pics will come out of the woodwork. This means, you can TRY things like applying for a reality show or American Idol for example, but if you make it ON BOARD, be ready for the skeletons to come out of the closet because someone out there always wants to burst your bubble.

Surprises are only good if they are good. Bad surprises are not, for example, many ladies on this site lie about their age. How do I know this? By comparing ages quoted in ads and then looking at their arrest reports.

A pretty face is very important! That's all there is to it.

that reminds me of the non smoking areas when smoking was still allowed. Oh gosh not being able to smoke will ruin gastronomy... and pubs and dining places.
It didn`t.
it will not have an influence on the business if women show their face or they don`t. Because no face = you still horny = you still want to screw.. ;.-) haha men are not really solid with their standards and easy with the compromises, especially the ones who encounter providers - so trust me, even if every provider covers her face , you STILL book them. Wanna bet?

Darling. lying about age is one thing. I am 35 for example and look better and hotter than some ladies in their 20something. I can compare myself lookwise with young women any day and still do look better. My clients guess me to be 29 mostly and love me for my OLD brain. Looks don`t harm but age is mostly for fetishists anyway. The problem with that is, if i advertise my real age (35) as opposed to 30 then everyone thinks i am 50. That is because many ladies do not advertise their real age. Men love "young meat" so to speak! So the younger the better for them - the more easy to manipulate and the more submissive! The older the more articulate and the less easy fooled and intrigued. But i tell everyone that i am 35. hahahaha. And ladies are like good wine - the older the better. Hell i would not want to screw myself being 21 :-),if i think of myself at that age - boy - no way - and some of these know-it-alls in their 20ies thinking they have figured it all out just are a big turnoff for me generally. And the worst are these advertising as "I am 21 but i am very mature" . hahahahaha. I mean what now? you`re either mature or you`re 21. ;-), which reminds me of a quote of "shit my dad says" :-)

Darling i don`t want to be mean - but when i look at some wives who still are married and more expensive - i think any provider can keep up with it, and wives are more expensive. So , don`t be so judgemental on looks? Its not everything in the world, except you have a fetish for a certain look and can`t get off any differently. Besides if someone thinks my face is ugly, he can have all his money back and then some to get his precious behind out my door where he belongs. In fact, i would even pay him to go elsewhere and compensate him for another provider of his choice. Such a thing has never happened to me :-) thats why i am so confidently speaking.

so point being: a face can hardly be THAT ugly, that a guy will not continue to fulfill his date given the vast majority of NON-PROVIDERS out there who are REALLY suffering lookwise. A provider generally speaking knows how to keep in shape , take care of himself and be beautiful lookwise. I have never met anyone who did not mee these standards. Crackwhores aside...

Aldo remember lades many photographers embed meta data in photos. savvy people can find info this way.

I have the meta data stripped.

[London Rayne]

Have never and will never...end of story.

It's so easy to copy or take a screen shot of an escort ad with a face showing and then use it against someone. Had a friend who found hers on the wall at her kid's school. Another had them mailed to her husband at her home address, and yet another kicked out of nursing school because of it.

The only way that would fly is if you truly want to be here forever.

I don't show my face and make almost double the going rate in my area...always have. A pretty face is important, but not as important as all I have worked for in my personal life. Not as important as embarrasing my family, friends, or heaven forbid a future employer. Guys who book me do so because they know when we go out, I won't be recognized as the girl from the internet. If someone sees us I could be anyone...friend, business associate, whatever, but with my face showing I can't deny what I do.

[MyKindaParty]

Yes a pretty face is important but from the view of a complete newbie it is not all that is important. There is the body. There are many people who would turn away from a girl with a pretty face if she was overweight for his taste. Same with skinny. An ugly face will turn some away.

Then there is personality. I have had the chance to be with a couple of girls I met in a bar over the years that looked great. Why did I walk. Shitty personality. What I like solely depends on the combination of the three. There is a girl I work with I would love to have a night with. She doesn't have a very pretty face but her eyes, personality and long legs holding that wonderful body just get my blood boiling.

London your pic leaves curiosity for those of us who like adventure. Does the face match the avatar? Does the personality match? Those questions are why I am looking for an excuse to travel to Birmingham on a Saturday. Even though there are girls on here with face pics I could travel to see the same day. Curiosity kills the cat as they say. lol

As for me great faces don't make for great sex. Chemistry does. That right combination of desire from each one. That takes meeting until you find it.
