the semiotics of smiling

[talkinghead]

Perhaps like others out here, I enjoy looking at the ads--bp, the independents listings, and especially the Montreal Indy Companions. It's both research and dreaming. Now I don't want to say I've made a study of this, but it seems to me that, as a general rule, the more expensive the SP, the less likely she is to smile in her pictures. Obviously there are exceptions, but while it's easy to find attractive SPs in the $200-$300 range smiling (I love the pictures of Amber Rose, Dorothy Fairman, and Dax Desire, for example), it's quite rare to see big smiles over $400/hour, and almost unheard of at $500.

So, if this observation is true, why do the "elite" companions decide not to smile in their ads and pictures? There are plenty of stunningly sexy pictures ... and they often look elegant, sophisticated, worldly ... and yet they intentionally exude "class" and not "fun." Is that what the 1% want in an escort? Is that our culture's idea of sexy? Does it convey something deeper or more serious for the extra money? (Personally, I've paid up to $600/hr, though not in Montreal, and I always want fun--and smart and cool--but especially fun.)

So: why so few smiles?

Funny you mentioned this. Another thing I noticed with some of the HDH SPs is that they convey this feeling that they are doing us a favor by letting us pay 400-600$/hour to see them. Look at a few adds in the 400$ range. They start listing which hotels they will not go to; warnings about what to do to have a good time; gifts or VIP rates to make the time better etc.

They start listing which hotels they will not go to;

Hello H101



Their is many reasons for it ,some places I did not sent my girls ,some clients are really really cheap dates and HDH certainly wants do avoid them .
Understanding from the outside is often way different then from the inside

I guess there are some things escorts and agencies do to try to express a more elite/special experience. Conveying a certain attitude and having stricter rules seems to be part of that. The meeting also seems to be more mechanical on the average. Not by much but enough to notice. More of my less fun experiences were with these escorts who seemed to have the idea that they are somehow more special and then act a little more controlling and restrictive. I remember one such more extreme experience where the escort was directing where to be touched and more to the point where not to touch, and sometimes how to touch where you were allowed. It struck me as something like wearing white gloves to handle tender rare and valuable artifacts. The more restrictive experience is not the rule but it's much more common among so-called elite/higher priced agencies.

Of course as Booker said more restrictions such as on hotels helps differentiate between certain types of clients. I can't blame any escorts or agencies for trying to avoid poorly behaved clients who also may try nit pick about services and then make an issue over fees. Though I have never considered anything of the kind there are certain rightful physical performance expectations by clients beyond presentation and style when an escort or agency uses a more exclusive/elite type of advertising to gain higher rates. Some of them forget that or don't believe they need to provide it.

The smiling point is interesting. I'm not so sure smiling or not smiling in advertisements has been part of how a meeting works out but it is true that ladies who come with a free and easy spontaneous smile are more fun by far.

I guess we could make a parallel between the high-class escorts not smiling and runway models... who also, don't smile? Could it be that in our culture smiling would be considered a lower-class thing?

Smiling is definitely something desirable, especially during the session.

Splotch - I understand how captivating a sexy sneer can be at the right moment. However, I have had more fun with escorts that smile and can laugh a little at some point during the date. I am thinking of my favorite encounters and favorite girls and the moments I remember with the girls I really enjoyed and the thing I can remember most were the faces and the smiles.

Hey, I am a fan of smiling girls too! Just trying to find an explanation as to why some Sps don't smile in their photographs!
In fact, one of the things I like very much when seeing a lady friend the first time is their face lit up with a smile as they greet you, which is a departure from the sexy/snooty expression they often have in their photos.

This is why I do not see high end escort. At the same time, this is why I do not see low end one in cheap motel, as they have these same restriction! Funny to think of it.

I love photos with that sexy sultry look with frequent sneering. I was just replaying some of my favorite encounters in my head. It is funny, what stands out are all the smiles. Specifically when a girl goes out of her way to be friendly and congenial....there was a girl from GoodGirls from Ottawa of Lebanese descent named Katrina. What a bubbly wonderful person she was. Alicia from Montreal GFE and most recently Jennifer and BianKa from Euphoria had the same persona with smiles and laughter....I just love it. I met Bianca of X/O at VIP 7 and she was the belle of the ball with her smiles....come to think of it, that may be the best thing about this hobby.

Good thread. I find a sly look very sexy and a little mysterious. But I also like a big smile.
