Womans Adds. Showing too much or showing too little?

I would say that postage stamp sized pics are a waste of time.... Most of the profiles that I've seen let you know what the provider really looks like, but the pics that are too small, don't do anyone any good.

Great point. I totally agree.

Given the fact that everyone changes a bit over time, whatever the picture is, showing skin or covering skin (to use Tara's original language), one of the most important words is "current." Whatever the picture looks like it is an indication of what's behind the door, and the more up-to-date the better.

As for the "skin" question, I like both. I like to see clothes begin on and come off. And to be honest, whatever is shown, if I'm attracted, it sends me on a google, eccie, bing search of even more revealing pictures.

As to Tom's point on "recent" or "current" pictures, I like it when a provider puts dates on the pics (e.g. March 2012, Dec. 2012, Spring 2013).

+1 B-randy!.......this is exactly how I'd sum up my opinion per this topic, as well.

I want to see 1) nice shot of face 2) a clear shot showing body shape; and 3) maybe topless. I hate the pics of an ass or pussy up close; that's a turn off. Dress nice and show some bra/panty combo. Put on the stocking and heels to get my motor running! Originally Posted by barondrandy

First off Tara, this is an amazing thread. Such a delicate topic to approach whenever taking photosets or posting marketing pics. Which to do? The full on pornstar approach (which will draw the masses, but put off the classy-craving types) or the mysterious/playful-yet conservative approach (which will draw less outright, but will filter out a lot of the dregs)?

IMO, I love a combination of the two. I call it "righteous with a sprinkle of rachet". To me, the whole lingerie/garter belt/overtly seductive look thing is a horse beat dead, resurrected as a zombie, and beat dead again. It's lame (again, this is just my opinion -no disrespect intended to those to do enjoy it or employ it). Just the same, the whole 'sink model' craze or HEY-LOOK-AT-MY-PUZZY-CUZ-IM-AN-INSECURE-ATTENTION-WHORE is equally as unappetizing.

So then, the challenge is to combine to best of both worlds, showing enough to keep the 'sportfuck' crowd happy, while at the same time endearing the classier 'maxim' fans. My age progressively leans me towards the more energetic and eccentric sides of my photography and video work, but recently I've been taking steps to counter-act that, and have come to the exact question that Tara has presented here. I love to see that someone else has come to this question, and the replies are amazing.

Great thread, and debate on!

Pics that are truly indicative of the provider are most appreciative, not nudes or all exposed but enough to know what to expect.

I love nude photos to see all the goods, I like to see before I buy. I am thinking playboy not Ruanchy sluts gone wild. So yes but not all the photos need to be nude.

I hate the duck face photos

Tara please send me your nude photo, I need a refresher
