How accurate are photos in ads? How accurate reviews?

[Zatara]

I find that the photos in ads are not fully representative in over 50% of ads. Most are older photos or totally fake photos. Most ads that state an age are 5-10 years off. I have checked some photos through Tine Eye and found the photos in ads in other countries. Of course the words used in ads will speak glowingly of the looks of the provider and the service you will receive. My satisfaction rate when going to ads without a review is 20-25%
My experience with reviews are very different than just relying on ads. In my experience the reviews are 75-80% accurate. Taking into account for personal preferences i would return to 4 out of 5 places I have visited by recommendation of reviews. What is your experience?

I think that the new SELFIE FORUM was a very good idea for that. This way, in addition to the pictures on the websites, you can see very recent, non-professional pictures of the ladies

Euphoria & XO are pretty much WYSIWYG.

On Merb : False
On BP : True

Fake Pics and stolen pictures is more a thing of BP and outside merb. On merb it really depend on the agencies, some of them have pictures taken at list once a year to keep a good representation as others... well you see the same pictures for 3 years or more... Yeah sometimes the lady may not have changed "that much" and pics are still accurate, sometimes... not so much.

As for photoshoped tatoos and such, as much as i prefer to know about tatoos before booking, its a nessessary evil in some case to hide them... to easy to recognize somebody by them.

And i agree with Jasmine, the selfies sub section can be a great way to show a current up to date picture of a lady without being an "official" photo on the website. But there is again the tatoos issues that can be a little bit of a problem for some.

By the way Jasmine, Hanna's selfies are... :jaw: Just WOW !!! ))

As for reviews, well sometimes they are embelished but i would say they are mostly close to reality. As we said many time its up to the guys to make there idea based on them, based on the reviewer, his credibility, the number of reviews for a said lady etc.

Fake pics are epidemic on backpage.

I like to see ladies' Twitter profiles if they have them. Usually far more accurate representation of who you are going to meet.

You also get an idea of what she is like as a person.

My experience by going by ads only are 1 in 4 are accurate representations. My worse experience was a woman that said she was 140 lbs and I am sure she was well over 220 lbs. With reviews you get the picture many times by many people, I would say reviews are 80-90% accurate.

My experience is with the ladies of indy companion. What you see is what you get. Minus the face pictures which they cover (not all ladies ) up for privacy issues which i have no problem with. Pretty much a hit all the time

The only agency where 80% of the time they don't look anything like their pictures for me is MAE.

On Merb there are fake pics sure, but the more popular/reputable agencies use actual pics. Lying about age is par for the course anywhere, you learn to deal with it and adjust. Keep in mind they will always remove tattoos since they affect the woman's privacy. You need to be sure to ask, even if its an indy, if you care about tattoos or extra piercings. It is true pictures can be out of date as well. There are advertisers who have been using the same pictures for the past 3 or 4 years. I can sympathize because getting good pics can be expensive, and if she is as busy as she wants to be she is not incentivized to get new ones. One of the most popular SPs in Montreal in the previous decade was someone without any pictures at all.

Reviews are very good at telling you if the pics are accurate or if she is the person in the picture. Over time you know which reviewers match your taste and look out for your recommendations. In the mean time, there will be trial and error. Even if someone is well reviewed, your personal chemistry together might be different. Some girls appreciate guys who take the time to chit chat and maybe share a glass of wine before the action starts, and they will react negatively to someone who just wants the action to start right away. Just don't be a douche and you should get good mileage.

From my personal experience, I never had issues with pictures from Euphoria, Montreal Sex City, XXXtase, MTLGFE, or any indy I used in Montreal. In terms of reviews I was led astray only once, someone was very different towards me than how she was portrayed in multiple reviews. But she and her agency are long gone, so no point in mentioning her now

So far I have never been steered far off course from reviews on MERB. The ads on Craigslist ad Annonce123 is another matter. The worse place is Announce123. I have gotten a few walk aways from their ads. ( at the door before the appointment started )

 

[ShyMan]

As the cliche goes: you get what you pay for. Euphoria is spot on. My good buddies, who have had the pleasure of meeting some of the XO ladies, told me the XO photos too are accurate. If time permits on this trip, I will try to see for myself as to one or two XO ladies. My vacation turned into a business trip; such is life. So, I'm cutting my fun time as my work time increases while I'm in Montreal for a much needed vacation. When in Montreal, party like everyone so I will force myself to check out at least one or two of the XO ladies to confirm the accuracy of the photos.

I have never felt misled by any of the pics from any of the primary agencies. It is a world apart from life on backpage here in the states. You guys are so lucky.

As mentioned above, the only thing that is intentionally disguised are tatoos. If tats bother you then just ask the agency and they will tell you.

Well thanks to both you, Hanna, Rosie and all the other ladies participating in the selfie forum. Thanks to Sam and the girls that also does at Xo. And the indies.

Jasmine, your agency by far is taking the most advantage of the selfie forum and we are all enjoying it! ESPECIALLY Hanna's

"Independent" escorts might as well go back to the days of not having pictures in the ads, as literally all the pictures are fake now.

Not sure which indys you are talking about but I have seen a few of the Indy companions and their pictures are real and recent, if you are talking about BP indys what do you expect.

I totally agree with this statement, i haven't had the pleasure to see all the ladies associated with this group but rest assure they are as true as can be, especially Florence Champagne, her portfolio of the sexiest pictures on the market to date are 200% all Florence from that first wave of hair on her head to her all so cute little toe, every curve is shown as if she comes alive through her pictures.

Sorry, i got lost there, anyway you get the point.. A Florence Champagne a day keeps all that ails you away.:nod:
