Photo Verification

[monster_monster]

Is there any reason that an escort that shows her face in her photos should not have her verification picture on her profile too?

I might be a little naive when I ask this but I am just curious as to why if an escort already shows her face in her profile, then doesn't show her verification photo. I'm sure that would stop witch hunts against honest independent escorts who have been accidently labeled with a fake photo report.

Just to be clear, I am not asking for verification photos of escorts that hide their face on their profile as that is their own prerogative.

This is a really great & sensible idea which I'd vote for..but this aint a democracy so I'm not holding my breath!

If I were an escort and had nice pictures shown on my profile- they have to be nice as I am promoting myself and trying to make a best of advertising for my own business-why should I ruin this image by sticking my photo on a cover( or a profile) to satisfy someone else curiously. Would I pay extra to stick my photo there with no makeup , T-shirt and shorts? Seriously guys, in my opinion this is bit silly, would you agree?
As a customer- would it be nice for me to see sexy lingerie pictures with addition extra photo on nice profile-which shows how she looks when she is getting up of bed (theoretically)? Would I as customer like to see it? I say no, but as a customer I would rather rely on verification system if one in place.

I understand what you saying and of course it could work out in small percentage but again, we live in imperfect world, and even there is a girl with verify pictures, and extra photo shown for customer to see, she is genuine, would that prevent this website from reviews saying-'this is not a girl I've seen'?

You make two very valid points but imho miss an important element..to work backwards:

• The single most important & simple way to validate this process if for a guy to show up at door- and report back- but how many do, it's clear that the vast majority of EI users are lurkers..and good luck to'em - that's their perogative!
• I ( don't think) that MM is suggesting a girl uses her "just out of bed tossed hair" snaps- but a half decent cellphone pic with todays newspaper etc will cement the proof..and many guys like the natural look even if they want the glamour in a session..also, if an escort is already paying the fee, I really don't see how this would 'cost' them anything other than 5 seconds to take the picture.

Who said anything about paying extra that the problem with you filthy capitalists

The problem with the verification system is that it's someone else saying yeah or nay (I am not having a pop at the verification system here) and it's not always 100%, where as if the decision was my own then I would have no one else to blame.

As for seeing what an escort looks like without all the sexy lingerie and photoshopped makeup, yeah that works for me too.

There was a problem last week in regard to a Glamour model having to fight her corner, the problem was that along with her real photos on her advert page she also had 2 fakes (I don't know why as she's beautiful), so she was called out on this and in the end it sort of snowballed. If she had a verification pic on her profile no one would of doubted who she was or the fact that the majority of her pics are real.

Remember, men see women as being beautiful without them having to lash on the lippy, makeup etc. sometimes it's nice to know who you may be meeting instead of some photographers impression of her

Surely girls could benefit from showing a photo for verification on the profile, some escorts do (eg male escorts, sorry cannot remember a name, could check if needed). Personally I do mind, on website which does not restrict doubtable pictures that could be an advantage for a customer. On the other hand I see that there is more and more photo shop involved on profiles, to cover some stuff and to cover identity, different reasons and surely I am missing many other reasons escorts have. If escort is fine with showing a photo for verification, why not, E-I does not stop anyone from doing so. Check with girls would they be happy about it.

As I start 95% of my posts with the following, why stop now.. ahem, Here in the US, the level of bait & switch on certain escort ad sites is even higher than in IRL.. when you see Carmen Electra's photos being used for the four millionth time you just hit next.. even with real photos that have been photoshopped you get leery..some girls have started taking cell phone pics as it's cheaper, more likey to be real & they get business- go figure!

I fully respect that some ladies have very distinct tattoos or whatever and it's always a personal choice- just as it is for punters making the decision to spend the money that floats this entire game.. but I'm talking about the initial foray into the market- once you're established nobody cares afterwards.. just so long as you're the person in the pics/give a good service yada yada..

MM- Push hard enough & who knows what'll start..just so long as you don't stand on anybodies 'commercial interests'... but is that an oxymoron?

Pardon my way of explaining things, rather then money I meant 'value' for the person. For some it will be money for some extra space on the profile or decision making wheather to have extra verification or glamour photo listed on the profile. This is delicate and persoanl matter and yes, peopel shoudl be offeed choices.
