    I think professional photoshoots are awesome.

    It's the enhancements done on computer apps after the fact that I'm not thrilled about.
    I do understand the thought that a SP who goes to great lengths to over Photoshop their pictures may not possess the qualities you are looking for to fully enjoy the appointment.

    However, I feel most of us that are looking for more than just the aesthetic of a SP already have (or quickly learn to have) a bit of an eye for this when looking at an advert. It's not just the pictures, the verbage gives a bit of insight as well and to some degree so do reviews (where applicable).

    The guys who base a visit primarily off the looks and finding somewhere warm and wet for 15min probably don't care too much about the personality anyway.

    I feel like guys who are active on forums typically fall into the first group, as it's a level of investment slightly more than just the money.

    Guys from the second group show up in forums occasionally to complain that a girl doesn't look like her pics because she doesn't have tan lines (even though it's winter and the pics are 4mo old) or she's changed her hair (when the profile states that she's gone back to her natural color).

    Overall i agree that the over use of Photoshop (in this industry and others) has been a detriment to the consumer. I can understand the frustration with the practice (especially if you've been "fooled" or are having a hard time finding a suitable SP to spend some time with). But a SP blurring their face or covering identifiers doesn't seem such an egregious act to me, so I'm not quite onboard with a full ban.

    What about food, it never looks the same on a plate compared to the photo posted by a food outlet. We would never eat the food if it we were not happy that it ‘did not look the same’ there are people whose job it is to make food look good for a photo……..

    Sure if you look at the photos of a McDonald’s burger I would be tempted myself although I know I don’t like them

    I've often questioned whether many advertisers even write their own profile descriptions? Or whether they're working off some kind of pre-prepared template?
    Cause obviously the wording in several profiles is almost identical.

    Reviews....... that's the one that can really baffle me, cause for enhanced picture they have so many five stars on "accuracy of image".
    And the ones that second guess the advertisers appearance have the usual response, "look at all my reviews, no one questions my appearance but you" or, "all ladies use enhanced pictures" etc etc.

    I doubt it. Personality is basically your roadmap for how an appointment will play out. Oftentimes, for me at least, it's basically predictable how the advertiser and I will "get on", based on her pictures.

    EXCEPT when photoshop is used. By which time your in her apartment and she has the other gambit of tricks to deploy.

    Blurring a face? To me that evens itself out cause that will be a natural turn off for a lot of clients. I don't really consider that photoshop in the usual sense.

    Except where girls photoshop their face and THEN blur it....... lol. Which is just another means of plausible deniability.

    Tattoos? I find it's often the advertisers that want to present as "bad girls" that get them in the first place.
    If they went to the time and effort of getting tattoos and embracing that personality, then why go to so much additional trouble using photo shop pretending to be "sweet looking angels"?

    I came here to mention something else entirely......

    Oh yeah, briefly after that dissection.

    An advert for one of those dating apps popped up on youtube recently.

    There's actually an expression, lol. Check this out:

    "Catfishing".

    Apparently that's what girls who use photoshop to modify (again, the advert actually specified this term) not their appearance, but their personality, are known as doing.

    Anyways the ad for the dating app was basically saying they have some measures to prevent users getting "catfished" or uploading catfish pictures?

    And I was just thinking......... nice.

    If you squint your eyes and shake your head side to side it
    removes the filters and blurred faces from the photos

    You might look like a Chinese man with distemper and get a headache. It almost never works.

    Serious photoshopping is a real problem. The escorts who use ordinary videos and stories should be rewarded. I intend to to look more for these in the future.

    I wouldn’t be so pessimistic about this topic. In this time you have so many options how to look at more pictures of us. So many ladies use their socials or even EscortFans. Only few years ago ladies didn’t have their socials. So look at this how all was improoved for clients.

    It could be a problem if lady asks about loosing her weight in her pictures or use some app like FaceApp for enhaced her face. It was speciality of Czech ladies. Now thankfully it’s gone. Well there are still some exceptions when small picture between all adverts is enhanced in FaceApp. I guess it can attract some client to visit her advert. I don’t know. It’s quite funny for me.

    Most of us have professional pictures. It really depends how all of them are enhanced. Every case is different. How i said, if there is possibility to check her socials or EscortFans for public pics, do it. There is not any other advice.

    Anyway be realistic. We are people. Of course we are not perfect how pictures show us. I mean we have striae, cellulite, pimples, every week in month we are swollen and 1-3kg are up, … it’s how is it. I wish to every man to be grown up.
    Iam waiting for you on EscortFans!

    My post referred only to serious photoshopping, not the small natural changes that you refer to.

    We are asked to do our homework , look at the profile , photos and read the info/stats. I don't accept the argument that it ok for this to be substantively wrong and that you should be obliged to search other media for more clues.

    I feel sorry for those escorts who put up reliable photos but who then have to compete with others who do not.

    My post was general. I didn’t react to your post. Anyway i agree with you and i said the same.

    Wait , do you do your “homework” for us? I mean if iam interested about some service, i do my reserch in my own interest. You really don’t have to do anything what bother you but later don’t complain about bad choice. It was well meaning advice for your satisfsction. Unfortunatelly we are limited with six pictures here. But of course you can check only six pictures and favourites if it’s enough for you. Everyone to their own.
