Guys, has a provider ever asked for your picture before booking a session?

Don’t send pics, you don’t know that it isn’t a cop on the other end of that phone.

[L.A.]

When I was newer and first starting seeing independents, a certain provider had a policy to show her your ID upon arrival for a visual inspection to make sure it matched up with the screening. I didn't have a problem with this back then but the ID never left my vision and nothing was copied or photographed. No way on Earth I would send my id over any kind of email or text app.

I wonder if she was trying to screen for race. She doesn't want to say "no (insert race) guys" but still wants to know who you are first.

It's also possible that she's afraid of running into someone she knows outside of the hobby. Perhaps she's a lady with lots of friends through school, jobs, church etc. and wants to make sure her best friend's boyfriend doesn't come walking through the door.

Either way.......never send a pic.

Are you guys really naive enough to believe that it would make any difference to law enforcement that you posted a picture? If you are really that foolish, I wouldn’t trust you with my used chewing gum.

I send my picture to all the providers I go see, even if they don't want it:

just send a dick pic instead. NEVER EVER SEND A pic!!

[kushella]

I stop responding if the guy says he doesn't feel comfortable with sending a picture. It's mandatory and by mandatory I mean I don't care if you have 1,000 P411 okays and 500 reviews on here; you will send a picture or you'll be blocked. All I do with the photo is make sure the guy that shows up at my door is the guy in the pic, create a nickname to save him under and use his picture as the contact and delete it. Otherwise I can't imagine what could possibly happen with it. I can only barely sorta kinda understand why guys are uncomfortable sending pictures but if you're willing to contact me, come to my place or invite me to yours and spend time with me I don't understand how a simple selfie is life or death lol. Who do you give your address to that you've never met? All I have is a phone number more than likely from some texting app and I could care less about where you work so you gotta give me something. Having strangers show up to your place is already nerve racking so doing it without AT LEAST knowing what the person looks like sounds like an anxiety attack waiting to happen haha

In this age of review specials, guys paying for okays and good references and pimps; how can you expect ladies to see you with literally nothing? No photo, you don't want them to have your RL name or work info, don't feel comfortable telling them the type of car you're in, nothing? You just hit a girl up and tell her you got $150 and that's it? Nah haha

^^^on point

So here we have a provider saying that she keeps a list of guys with their photos matched directly to their phone numbers (which she admittedly doesn't know if it's their real number or an app number). Lmao!

And there you have it, this is exactly why you should NEVER send a picture. And while we're at it, also why you should not use your real phone number. Just move on to the next provider.

She has 2 pics so far

[LuciaConte]

My reference page asks for it by default, and its not mandatory, but to my surprise a lot of people send it.

[gc161]

A provider's comfort is paramount. I don't want to surprise a racist or a body-shamer. I'll send the picture. I've sent a selfie a couple of times; both instances ended in rejection. I've sent my DL twice. They're both top-notch with 10+ years experience. The first time was my first encounter in the hobby. Then second time is for an upcoming event that I'm pretty stoked about. I regret nothing.

[TheOracle]

I would never send a photo identifying myself during an impending illegal transaction to a provider for the sake of her "comfort". A provider's "comfort" is not paramount over protecting myself and my own safety. That's insane!

Man are some of you guys really that hard up for pussy? Are times really that tough out here? Lol.

[kushella]

Or maybe you just have no respect for providers lol. If their comfort means that little to you then you probably don't know how to turn a lady on to begin with haha. Most men that have no intentions of causing harm or a headache care about sending a pic tbh. You expect providers to have multiple recent photos on their ads but in any case it doesn't matter. Some women require it some don't. If you're camera shy, don't send pics and find a different provider.

But no like frfr......why do guys think sending pics is incriminating? unless the ad specifically says the provider is meeting for hookups at a certain rate, you're just sending a picture along with your request the same you would with a chick you met on Tinder? Sending selfies is not illegal lol
