I'm not a movie star or Quasimodo. While I would never post my picture openly on a dating site, as previously mentioned I usually provide a photo in advance. This allows to provider to ascertain that it is really me who shows up, rather than an accomplice. And if she rejects on that basis, that's okay too. From my perspective -- I am unharmed. She has left money in my pocket that will be available for a different escort.

I've had more than my share of blind dates where i could tell right from the introduction that the girl was disappointed and things would lead nowhere. But with providers, on every single occasion i've gotten the sense when the door opened that they were as interested as if i were George Clooney. No easy feat for them, i'm sure.
Needless to say, i've never provided a photo beforehand, but i will give a pretty detailed description spelling out my flaws. One "trick" i use is after the appointment is set, to really downplay my appearance as best and as fully as i can without making myself out to be hideous looking. I like to think that this leads to my actually exceeding expectations, which on a subconscious level, probably goes a long way towards making myself more appealing than i really am.
And while i'm here, not once with the 4 providers i've visited was i provided a facial view prior to meeting. Only once was i disappointed, and that was due as much to the fact that the photos of her body i saw were dated and didn't really match up to what showed up as it was to her face being a disappointment.
