I agree with waldo. Completely understand why a lady wouldn't, but also why a guy would require one in order to book.
Beauty is subjective and reviewers are often full of shit, so you come to trust only your judgement and a select few that you're comfortable with. that's not a knock against you Kami (I've in fact wanted to see you for a long time), but the reality of these boards and this business.

Kami, thanks for posting here and making your concern known to us. Just out of curiosity, let me present this hypothetical scenario to you:
Suppose a guy wants to see you, but he is on the edge about committing because of the lack of face pictures. He goes through your rigorous screening process, and after thoroughly vetting him, you decide that he is safe enough to be your suitor. Now, if he shows up at your door and realizes that your facial appearance is less than stellar, (I am not actually suggesting that your facial appearance is less than stellar, I am talking about a general hypothetical case here), are you willing to
a) Refund his full donation?
b) Compensate him for his wasted time and energy and the general emotional investment he made in preparing to meet you?
c) ... do you think it is just better to privately and discretely send him a face shot of you, or give him a private link where such picture might be hosted, so that he can make a sound judgment before he even leaves his house? After all, he has been thoroughly vetted by your screening process, and you trust him enough to spend an hour (or more) of intimate time with him.
Again, I am not telling you what you should do, or not do, I am just playing the devil's advocate here, because some gentlemen on this board would like to know the answers to those questions.

so, whatever rules she comes up w/ is what we guys have to deal with [substitue fee, location, clothing, activities for "face"].
Has a review ever said the girl had a rockin' body "but her face...yuck"?
Can't recall ever reading one...anyone else?. In the 6 years I've seen girls without face pics, I've never been disappointed...

i did stay for the consultation [average in both cases] but, as always, i had the option of leaving and abiding by her ending-appt policy. you know, the little-head vs. the big-head conflict.
I see both sides. I was looking at my side only...However, No-one has ever asked me for a refund : )

a woman showing her face, body, listing phone number, published rates, etc. those are for her to decide.
i decide whether or not i want to consult w/ her.
i decide if the consultation was extremely deliteful, above average deliteful, average deliteful, below average deliteful, utterly not deliteful.
it really is that simple. complicate it as much as you want.
