Face Pic

[TyrEngineer]

I had a provider ask me for photos to see what I look like, then ask for a deposit to send one of their face pics. The ad only had a chest photo. I decided to move on, if dude is afraid I won't book when I see him, giving a deposit is a risk I'm not willing to take. This can't be the norm, anyone else get asked for money just to see a single g rated photo of the provider?

How much was he asking?

[TyrEngineer]

20% on $225 an hour. ($45) Even weirder he made it a % of the appointment, so if I wanted to see him for 2 hours his photos cost 2x as much.

If he was charging you for *his* face pic, you should have charged him for yours.

Lol yeah. I've never considered a generic face pic to have much value, but who knows in this economy. I sent a photo without even thinking about it. I see it as cost savings when a provider removes them from my interest list, so I'll get over it.
