Walking out because the photos didn't match in real life

This site has saved me from this crisis! I never meet anyone, let alone message anyone, until I do my due diligence here. Saved me a lot of dollars too.

I'm wondering what guys do if you have hired for endowment size and you show up and the guy is hung nowhere near what he claims (either because he said he was 8 inches and maybe was 5.5 and thin on a good day, or because the pics were AI enhanced)?

I’ve learned a long time ago that many providers are very good at taking pictures at the right angles.

Once, as an escort opened the door for me at his place, I could tell immediately that he was not the guy in the (faceless) pictures in his ad or in the face pic he texted me during the negotiation process.  That being said, he was just as hot as the guy in the pics so I went through with the session, which was fine.  Towards the end, I mentioned that I knew the pics weren't him and that he really shouldn't advertise using someone else's pics.  He said he was too discreet to use his own pics and didn't I think the pics in his ad gave a more accurate impression of his body and his face than a lot of escorts' pics that are professionally taken or AI-enhanced?  I didn't really have a comeback to that.

I applaud the posters sharing stories of simply walking away. I wish I had that level of courage. The worst situation was a guy with only a photo of candles and a rolled-up towel in his ad. He was hideous, untrained, gross, and of course seen by me just once. I refuse to hire anyone hiding their face. 

Two different other guys I saw gave me a false impression of the physique I was anticipating with lighting / photo trickery. They weren't what I was expecting, but both were friendly, so I followed through but also didn't repeat.

Thank goodness for the sleuths who give us a heads-up with guys who are red flags that clearly are stealing pics from other people. The plus side of that happening is then we learn of who the real people are, we can then see them!

Hi, I wanted to ask if you ever tried to hire a provider but walked out because the photos the providers use to advertise didn't match with what you saw in person? Whether that's because they used a fake photo or outdated photos.

I have several times.  I don't walk out if they have gained a few pounds or lied about their age +/- five years but I've had several experiences where the person who answered the door was definitely not the person in the ad by any stretch of the imagination.

I had an experience awhile ago when I walked in to find a different person than the one in the ad who was clearly better looking. I stayed and had an ok time. Not disappointed but strange. Didn’t get the name and made no attempt to reconnect.

To be thorough, I haven't hired since Covid.  I'm older, retired, and any experience i have is not current/recent.

I canceled, walked out, or had him leave my hotel room several times.  I cant recall it specifically being due to not matching pictures.

• I got up, got dressed and bolted from a hotel room 15 minutes in when I saw the big sore on his dick; he told me it was a spider bite.
• I made it five minutes with a last minute sorta desperate hire after a few cancelations and no shows.  Muscle guy.  Acknowledged roiding.  Hugged him, my hands came away very soggy.  He was, unfortunately, experiencing horrible backne due to the roids.  Yech!  I left a small amount $, departed.  
• I picked a guy up in my car in San Francisco and quickly realized it was going to be trouble.  Drove around 10 minutes wondering what to do.  Pulled into parking lot, told him to get out.  He wouldn't.  Took a deep breath, got out with my keys, went to passenger door, yanked him out.  I was scared, but refused to be a victim.
• I broke my own rule and arranged to meet a guy at my home first visit.  He arrived.  Leather jacket & mirror sunglasses.  Ballcap.  I stupidly paid up front.  Walked around my place searching for cameras - he studied the little LED on-light on my TV, etc.  Then hesitated to undress, wouldn't remove his hat or glasses, repeatedly citing anonymity & fear of video.  I asked him to leave, he resisted.  I somehow got all of my money back except $20 or $40, and got rid of him.
• The one experience I can think of as I learned pics were fake, the guy was en route to my place.  I had scheduled and canceled previously, he seemed very nice.  I was so eager, I reverse-searched his online images to find more, and discovered they belonged to a male model.. even confirmed the model was in Europe at the time.  I called my appointment,  started to cancel.  He asked me to give it a try anyway, agreed to meet publicly, and he'd walk away if I was at all unsatisfied.   We met near a coffee place.  He was better looking than his pics and maybe the hottest rent guy I ever interacted with.  I hired him multiple times, did overnights, etc.  I'd still advise: fake pics, walk away.  But, ya never know......

I have simply paid the guy to go away multiple times. Depending on how far they came anywhere from $20-$40. That’s when the vibe just doesn’t match what I thought. If they were full on lying about what they looked like, they get zero. This is why I generally always meet them downstairs in the lobby of wherever I am or somewhere close to where I’m staying not at my actual room or apartment.
