Are there alternatives to using stolen pictures?

[+ SundayZip]

There's been recent threads here in the Deli about specific escorts who use "borrowed" photos in their RM ad. People have attempted to justify this practice by saying that the escort needs to protect his identity. They rationalize using borrowed photos by saying that the pics closely resemble the escort. Or they say that the escort is even hotter than the borrowed photos, so it's okay. I completely understand that some escorts need to protect their identity and I truly respect this need. Maybe some hot young stud wants to try escorting for a while without giving the internet a picture of the one-of-a-kind tattoo on his shoulder. I'd say, more power too him. We want him!

 

But is there a way for the escort to protect his identity without deliberately deceiving prospective clients ? Of course the obvious is, don't post a face pic (in spite the squawking from some people). I'd also suggest the judicious use of a photo editor. This is NOT to exaggerate the size of his wanker or ass. Someone with a bit of experience with a photo editor could easily remove (or alter) a unique tattoo or birthmark or something else that uniquely identifies them. They can do this without substantially changing the escorts appearance.

 

Any other ideas that you would consider acceptable?

 

PS (edit): Maybe it's okay to use borrowed pictures as long as the escort tells a prospective client, very early in their communications, that the RM pictures are not him and gives an honest explanation. I'd say 'No' to this. This will likely alienate most clients (IMO).

Haha, I was going to “like” your post until your “PS edit”. I don’t think it’s ever ok to use fake/borrowed pics.

 

The rest of your post has a lot of merit and good ideas. And after some messaging perhaps the escort would send a face pic, I have had that work for me.

Ha! I agree with you and have edited my edit

I've often advocated that the escort acknowledge in the ad that he uses borrowed pictures that closely resemble them with a guarantee of if not satisfied at the door the meeting if off no questions asked.

 

That wouldn't keep me from hiring. That being said, I love a face pic.

Why would it be ok to "Out" someone else as an escort that is not an escort by using the fake pics of someone of IG. If you, yourself don't want to be outed as an escort, then maybe you shouldn't be one.

This is rarely discussed...we gleefully expose a faker and move on. But isn’t there a victim here in the innocent person on IG or FB or some other social website whose pics are usd?

That's what I was getting at... the poor person that has his pics stolen and put up on an escort site, when some dude is too chicken shit to use his own.

This is why I disagree with those who think this is no big deal. It's a form of identity theft/fraud/misrepresentation. There are other ways to keep one's identity confidential until meeting. That they may discourage patronage is a price the escort should be willing to pay in return for maintaining his privacy.

 

I'm fed up with people expecting their choices to be costless.

Suppose the escort explicitly says in the text of the ad "These pictures are of somebody else, who I resemble, for purposes of discretion"? Is this OK?

As long as the escort got permission from his model.

 

So, no.

Body photos + offer to verify via Skype or Facetime = discreet alternative to theft and fraud

I doubt any of the ad sites would be ok with any kind of disclaimer like that.

It works. Don't believe me? Ask [uSER=12155]@Dominiking[/uSER]

 

P.S. I know his current profile pic shows his face but previously it did not and he still had a lot of fans (and clients) on this forum. Me included!

[uSER=12155]@Dominiking[/uSER] showed multiple face pics in his ad back in 2015 when he joined the forum.

Can we stop using the word "borrowed"? The scare quotes indicate what is actually true: "borrowed" is a euphemism for stolen.
