Use of MisLeading Images. What is your opinion? NovaTx?

I look EXACTLY like my avatar. Originally Posted by Dorian Gray

I knew it was Lady Gaga and personally didn't think she was misleading anyone. And I believe if a lady so chooses to post pictures that are not her, then that is her choice. Just like it is your choice to not see a lady that doesn't post/send face pictures.
It all really boils down to safety/discretion. As long as the lady looks like the person in the photos she posts...I do not believe there is any harm done.
I personally do not believe a lady should post pictures IN HER SHOWCASE that are no where close to what she looks like, because in a sense that is "false advertisement". However, the avatar is OBVIOUSLY used to post pictures that suit the poster's personality.
I never send face pictures. But I always tell my gentlemen friends if they do not like what they see when they arrive, then they are more than welcome to leave. It is a matter of safety.

It's almost the same as a lady posting pictures that are "professional/photo shopped" photos. They are altered to make the lady look "better" than her normal self, or different in some sort of way. Not all the time, but sometimes. I've dabbled in a bit of modeling here and there. So, I know how that works.

I have to ask... Hehe... Is your avatar a picture of you Cara? Hotness.

I can tell a lot of ladies "smooth out" their pics... Which yes, lol is just as deceitful... As well as using old/outdated pics... Unless you look the same... But why not just take new ones if you supposedly look the same?! You can always cover up tattoos if you have any... I have tattoos and most people are surprised when they see a rather large one between my shoulder blades because I can hide it with my hair... Some guys don't even recognize it during sessions... Same reason... My long hair hides it.

We are going to zoom in on the picture and more than likely overlook the text.

Yes. One of our many shortcomings.

That is fine whispers.
I cant change my skin color, so theres nothing for me to consider :/
I guess my av serves a purpose! (Yesssssss! In my napoleon dynamite voice)
It identifies me as AA and therefore many gents have not wasted their time by clicking, and finding out later that i am. Originally Posted by MsPrittiKitti

I was about to post in this thread when I got the message that it had been closed... So, It seems fitting to post it here I suppose.

In response to some of the comments found in this thread...

TinEye and google image search is a good tool for checking pics.

Anyone can take showcase/avatar pics and check them... It is easy.

As for SweetCara's avatar... It seems as if an escort located in Florida who goes by Chloe is the (possible?) owner of that particular photo.

I have met SweetCara and she was absolutely adorable... She would have no problem getting business using her own photos so I figure if she is using them... She must have a good reason... Security purposes maybe... I actually think it would be best to go off "word of mouth" rather than have misleading pictures. I also notice P411 https://www.preferred411.com/P122522 is allowing her to use a couple of these pics as well as another photo. I assume P411 is not aware of this since I believe they do not allow this kind of stuff. I could be wrong though.

Unfortunate choice because she is cute.

I think if you put four or five photos on your showcase without disclosing that they are not of you...then you are representing that they are of you and expecting someone to make a visit decision based upon the images.

What, fake pics, I do not condon, This One, See I will not

SweetCara, just so you know... I wasn't the one who reported your pics... I was just showing guys how if they really wanted to know if they were real or fake... They could just search the image.

Karla, is that your ass in the avatar? Nothing comes-up when I search.
