Not as much as some, although I do Grindr sometimes. I've found a lot of guys on hookup sites flaky and things can get kinda complicated sometimes. With escorts it's easier to set expectations for the relationship.
Yes, he looks just like his pics super attractive, saw him a little over a month ago. He's excellent, very nice guy who focuses on you having a good experience.
I take them at face value since I usually have received a similar compliment for free.
I think this actually does cut both ways- I've had guys ask if it was good and I didn't really have the heart to tell him no or that I probably won't be seeing him again.
It's not that pervasive of an issue, most guys are more than willing to talk to and make plans with me. It's more of a way for me to weed out some undesirable guys, it's their loss the way I see it
My profile has age and full face pics and everything. On some occasions, I have found out that we have acquaintances in common, but it wasn't really an issue. Maybe it would be for some providers though.
As a younger client, I will say that it's not really fun to be discriminated against either. Some guys view my profile and just instantly block me without even having a conversation and I assume that's the reason.
Pics are accurate but kind of a meh experience overall, spent part of the session talking on the phone (and did not excuse himself like it was an emergency).
