Nice new trend in Reviews

If the girls don't mind the exposure I say go for it. Those of us that value our privacy more than the paycheck will keep a lower profile.

I think some of the young ones don't realize just how hard it is to remove stuff from the internet once it us out there. Originally Posted by ~Ze~

Just wanted to say that I, for one, like the new trend of showing pics in the Review Section, especially the pics taken during the session (and videos, too). How do you guys get the girls to agree? Is there extra $ involved? I think it's great for their business (it has sure piqued my interest in some girls!). Thoughts? Originally Posted by medicineman

I don't even consider picking a lady that don't allow the hobbyist to take a pic for the review. I just read the reviews with pictures. you can put a showcase or AD pic side-by-side with a hobbyist pic to see what the provider really looks like. It's very easy for some providers to say no pics in reviews, (and that is their choice) their not the ones spending 200 - 400 to see who opens the door. Just keep the pictures in ROS.

For me its a DETERRENT

id value privacy most of all and if someone is discreet with their privacy im more comfortable that theyll be discreet with mine. and of course the vice versa....

I don't review very often. It is a PIA. I just did my first review with photos. It was a PIA. I asked the lady if she wanted photos and SHE decided what photos were acceptable. Hers were very G rated. I took the pics, handed her the phone, she viewed them, deleted the crappy ones (out of focus, etc) and told me which ones to use. It is due to TRUST that any photos were involved.

I agree with CG, the view count goes up and more comments are made on reviews that have PICS INSIDE in the title of the review, and hopefully, the pics are session pics, not of ones in her showcase or previous ads.

For the ladies who demand privacy and total discreetness, I understand and do not have harsh word to say about you not wanting to have a pic or two taken by a client. However, what is really strange is when a provider has pics in her showcase and/or ads she places, unless the pics in her showcase/ads are cropped, edited and/or far outdated and the provider does not want anything current and unedited to be seen. What is really peculiar is other reviewers have taken pics of her in their first review of her by him, and she denies others to do so, guess it is also similar in theory to who she picks and chooses to play the YMMV card on in a session.

I would not blame her if a guy was known to distribute said pics without her knowledge and consent. What ladies have to realize if they do not already know, that any guy with PA can see the pics put in the reviews, right click and save them, and just as any member, PA or not, can do the same with their pics in her showcase and in ads she places and do what he wants w/o any repercussions on him.

I agree it does take a lot of trust to let a guy take pics, especially the full nude and uncensored/mid-session and action photos/videos, for him not to post them or she is oblivious to the perils of the world wide web. But a couple of pre-chosen, clothed or maybe topless pre-session pics should be good to post in the ROS of the review, as it gives a more credit and realization to the review and reviewer. Most reviews can be used as ads for the provider, and a review with known current pics are the best ads for her, kinda like this review: http://www.eccie.net/showthread.php?t=1132341

The only person on this board that I have let take photos of me is Ze. And it will stay that way. Much easier to figure out how they got out when you only have one finger to point at.

I enjoy pics and vids during the session but its no biggie if she tells me I can't. I've had providers ask me to blur out their face in the pics and/or video before I post it in the review and some that just dont care. I always ask and even let them pick out which ones they want posted. The responses are all positive from the guys and they typically thank me for them and end up seeing the provider I saw. I'm not filming the whole session just a few clips to tease the guys.

That means, no matter how hard you try, you cannot scrub all of your images from the net. About 3 years ago, upon request, I would give out a face shot to a gent after he was screened. I later found my faceshot on a couple of sites and that put a stop to that. These girls don't realize that if they want to leave this business-- they are gonna have a lot of work if they wish to hide this profession down the road.

I don't allow pics in session. But in return, I update my pics 4-6 times per year at minimum. I'm brutally honest about my size, and I've yet to have anyone think my face wasn't "up to par". Does this cost me business? Yes, but not likely business that I want. I prefer gents who appreciate discretion.

Agree 100% as I have said.......Also, there is lots of software programs that you can use to blur or white out your face in pics, and if you have your computer with you at your incall, then you can do the face blur right then and there, and have the client delete the original in front of you. Guys who cannot understand or want to do that, then no pics for them. Or better yet, do not show your face in the pics, kinda like you do on your showcase. Speaking of which, even though you retired from the provider business, the pics there are also forever, even when you delete your profile, there will always be someone who has saved a pic or two from there or your ads.

Basically, pics are an all or nothing proposition. I do feel for the ladies who want that discreteness, but since they are providers, and they want business, unless it is only word of mouth, they have to advertise. Their ads speak louder and with more meaning drawing more views with pics, as most guys who care about who they spend their money on would like to have the visual aids to help make that decision, hence the reason providers have showcases to begin with.

All the justification BS boils down to guys wanting more pics to spank the monkey to.

Pics are not all or nothing. I don't show my face for a reason-- it is much easier to deny body pics than it is to deny a face pic. I frankly don't care if someone is spanking it to my tits 20 years from now, so long as I can't be identified.

I'll never understand how girls will spend hundreds on professional photos and then let a guy take a crappy cellphone pic and post it. And face it, some of them are CRAPPY.

Hey Nurse! Did he say 'trust me' after he said that they were for his private use only??

I found mine on a hobbyist's photobucket account once. When I agreed to let him take them he swore they were for his "own private collection". That was the end of session pics for me. Originally Posted by thathottnurse
