not what you expected

[dirkadirka]

hey guys

too many times ive had the same problem i'm sure you've all ran into where you meet the escorts and she looks nothing like her photos/you've been tricked into meeting someone else. i've known to take photos with a grain of salt, even with online dating its the same thing, but when its a completely different person or just so radically different.... whats the proper thing to do? usually if its an incall situation i drive a long way and i'm just like 'fuck it, already here' or an outcall i feel bad for the girl for driving all the way to me. this isn't exactly a 'customer satisfaction guarantee!' type business... so curious what some of you guys do. i just got back from france and was surprised to find the same thing happening to me out there as it does here. granted i've met a few pinpoint people of course...

I don't have this problem. I choose girls based on reviews. The reviews (usually 5 or more) tell me she looks like her pictures, and is not a bait and switch.

I suppose if I did run into this problem, I'd leave, or send her away. She lied about her pictures. She isn't owed any fee for showing up.

Good Luck!

Bring these along and tell her she should feel the same about duping you with fake pics

If you're a TOFTT kind of guy, I think you will always come across this from time to time. Nothing you can do but decide on the spot if you want to go thru with it.

Very sound advice.

Since for me looks take a backseat to personality & skills, reviews play an important part of my screening process. So do personal recommendations and meeting at social functions.

If more johns just turned around and walked the fuck out, it would put a stop to that bullshit.

There's more than one provider on BP that I've followed for awhile, who gradually started using real and more recent pics, after word spread of their dishonesty. These hookers would straighten up much quicker if fewer johns would overlook it just because they drove a few miles.

Don't use Backpage after a horrible experience a year or so ago. Pic's were great. Girl was not. Very unpleasant experience, including her pimp. Never again.

[mrvegas63]

As everyone else said, avoid Backpage, Eros (yes, I know, Eros can be more legit in other cities than the CO one), especially if the person does not have reviews.

If have to use Backpage, go in with the assumption 99% of the ads have fake photos. Learn to use Google image search, to reinforce that the hot chick in the pic is also in a ton of other escort ads around the country. Google the phone number to find reviews, don't go off the word of the person on the other end of the phone that "yes photos are me, and I REALLY do have reviews".

As for European ads, dang! Most those websites are like the flyers that get handed out on the Vegas strip: way too Photoshopped, way to hot to be a hooker willing to do a john for a couple of hundred.

yeah i generally try to stay away from BP but the problem is most providers that are on highly reviewed sites do things during the day... i find it difficult to get out of my office during the work week for that BP there are generally more girls available late at night - and i mean late at night - but there is the risk... luckily ive been able to read a lot of red flags, but the face covered up in the pictures thing/not able to find reviews is always the gamble

[NaughtyNiceGuy]

I've had the opposite experience. Most reviewers that say the pictures are accurate have been wrong. It could be for a variety of reasons but I don't trust any part of the reviews. There are 2 very prolific reviewers that participate on this board that claimed this visiting hooker's pictures on EP were accurate. I would agree if they saw her 20 years ago. They were her pictures but not anywhere near recent. This includes hookers on EP, p411 and BP. Walk away if you can't recognize her from her pictures unless she has the looks you like.

[mrvegas63]

Anything dealing with looks, height, age, "pictures accurate", etc I take with a salt block sized grain of salt. As NaughtyNiceGuy said, lots of guys seem to lose their sense of sight and any logical thinking when walking in the door with an ASP.

When I scan reviews, more interested in the "average" or lower ratings: to know who is meh or worse. And to see services rendered more than "Full Service" (useless entry imo).

I walk away, no $ for being lied to.
