Question for clients? Do you ever hire without a face pic?????have you ever?

[Okliehomo]

HAVE to see the face.....

 

Because no matter how hot the body, the face seals the deal for me. Face, teeth and ass....

 

In my early days doing this, I didn't always follow this rule and instead relied on the reviews here and very quickly, learned that my idea of handsome is very different than most.

 

Have been called picky, (as well as fussy and peculiar...don't get me started on that) and a face snob, but as long as I am the one paying, it's my right to set the terms.

My general rule is to hire only if there is a face picture, however, have deviated when the escort has a number of good reviews from other than 1st time reviewers Also if the escort has been personally recommended by someone, whom I know from this board I will hire without a face shot.

[Michael Wayne]

thanks for all the great responses! I want to comment further but I am swamped today. Yall keep chatting this one up. seems to be 80% to 20% against ever hiring without a face pic.

[Guest IndyMedic2006]

Not only do they have to have a face shot, I tell'm to smile to see if they have any teeth.

 

LOL... I hadnt thought to ask for a picture smiling, but Glute has an excellent point!

[instudiocity]

I gots my priorities - a face pic is down the list a bit -

 

#1 - More than one good review on Daddy's. Good comments in Message Forum helps.

#2 - Rockin' bod - in my humble opinion - not necessarily the hottest body in the ads, but a nice body.

#3 - If you can't spell the words in your ads kerrectly, definately think about using spell check. I ain't cho BRO, you ain't my HO.

#4 - Nice face pic might seal the deal.

Unfortunately after all is said and done a 'Goodlooking Face' to whomever Does Not always guarantee a Good Time!

 

But at least it gets the "Fantasy" going no matter how it may end. So I guess those who consider "The Bod" more important ultimately will win out, as is proven on "Muscle Service" where Facial Looks overall are not a consideration.

[Guest IndyMedic2006]

In the Indianapolis market, which is not exactly overflowing with escorts from which to chose, I've hired a couple of times without a face pic and each has worked out well. The first guy seemed to do nothing but escort/massage for a living, so I don't know why he didn't do a face pic. The other, the now-retired Brian Nash, had a dual career. QUOTE]

 

Zapped... Bryan Nash is the only escort I ever hired without a face picture and I got very lucky. He was hiding his face because he worked in real estate and he face was bus benches and so forth. He was amazing and I was sorry when he retired. Now that I am a little more selective and careful and I dont think that I would ever hire without a picture anymore.

[Bart]

Oh definitely Okie is picky about the face. How did that work out with Jay Anthony? Sorry friend could not resist. I will say one thing we both love and have to have is masculinity. Swish need not apply. Of course Okie has indicated occassionally I would jump any erection. But I have a bit more discretion than that well yes even a swish did not disuade me, hot bod, dick and great top.Oh yes I do let some get by.

 

How do you know the pics are current?? Of course the model face, body and a void for a personality. That's a winner right.

 

For me face is not critical so I hire all the time without face. In all the the times I have hired I will say only once have I come across anyone who if I had seen the face it would be no. Funny thing a very well reviewed gentleman plus had a so-so time with him. There is no one thing that leads me to hire, but muscles will always get my attention, including the one between the legs.

 

I will say the only other two times I have had an issue with a gentlman about his physical appearance, once the pics were several years old and the body did not measure up, which is important to me. The other was the teeth. Handsome guy, younger, early 20's. Nice to talk to. Opened the door he was nice lookiing and then he opened his mouth and I wanted to run. No way was my tongue or cock entering that mouth. What teeth he had were either yellow or black from "Chew'n tobacy" and zero dental care. Gross, wanted to slam the door.

 

Yes to instudcity you are right, have to have some intelligience. I talk and like guys who can carry a conversation, dont have to be Robert Frost, but some reasonable writing skills goes well too.

Aside from the face probably being the first thing that attracts me, it seems to me that without a face pic it's a lot easier for someone to be using stolen pictures. As I have often lived in areas where I need to bring escorts in for an overnight or weekend, I can't really take a chance on the faceless guys.

You definately make a good point Gman. I have gotten to a point where I am really only doing overnights and I cant imagine hiring without seeing a face pic. I also understand some clients saying they feel intimidated to pay an escort even if they dont want the client. I cant imagine getting an escort for an overnight and taking the risk that I might not be attracted to the escort and having to pay overnight fees.

[Guest greatness]

Yup

 

Bryan Nash is so cute..

[Guest IndyMedic2006]

Bryan Nash is so cute..

 

You met Bryan Nash, Greatness?

[Guest greatness]

oh my

 

No but I know who you are talking about. He is a very handsome guy. He was not available when I was in Indianapolis. I would have hired him though. Anyways, he is very cute guy.

 

You met Bryan Nash, Greatness?

[JackTwist]

Many times....Dane Scott, Raul, Anton, Draker, and on and on, but they were all well-reviewed and/or peer-recommended by a Hooville friend. I have two faceless studs on my radar right now if I can get myself in the same locale with them. I would never meet an unknown, unreviewed faceless newbie.

 

Well said. I agree. Some of my very best hires have been guys who do not share face pics but are well-reviewed here. For whatever reason--they are in college or have another career (as well as escorting) or are not "out" to family, etc.--- they simply feel they cannot risk circulating a face pic in cyberspace. I get it.

 

In fact, the two occasions that I've been seriously disappointed about hiring an escort (both times local LA guys) each guy had plenty of face pics in his profile, but the pics were at least ten years old and/or not a true depiction. Neither of these guys had reviews on Daddy's either. My mistake.

[1sf]

No.

[NYTomcat]

Quick and easy answer.

... no

 

I have my personal issues but face pics are important to me for a variety of reasons. I'm far more likely to hire without a cock shot or even a naked body shot than I am without a face shot.

 

Though I have offered to meet in advance so as to avoid conflict over sending one.

[Dave]

well, now i know why so many of you haven't hired me! and i thought it was because of my personality...

seriously, i am very aware that i am in the "unpopular" category here, but let me just try and say this without stirring the pot too much. i do not furnish face pics to anyone. period. not a single client has ever seen my face pic, nor been allowed to take a pic of me. and here's my reasoning:

 

i am a dad. i fukkin' love being an escort, and am VERY devoted towards it. but - being a father trumps that.

i feel that my face pic could seriously jeopardize the custody of my children.

if people can understand that, then i hope they can follow that saying - don't judge a man 'til you've walked a mile in his shoes... and not be too harsh on the other guys. people have their reasons. and as many of you have shown - if it's a dealbreaker for you, that's all it is. it doesnt necessarily mean he's a troll, or is using older pics, or wants to be a jerk.

 

peace - and cheers,

Dave

[Michael Wayne]

Hey Dave, i started the thread and I respect the hell out of your opinion. The Father angle is interesting and perhaps very revealing. If you can make a nice living without a face pic and based on your reviews it seems that you do then MORE POWER TO YOU! I am not a Dad and I cannot imagine what that must be like. http://www.rentboy.com/mikey9nola1

Ok-- as we all know most rules have exceptions. Dave here and Dane from Chicago are probably 2 of a very select few escorts whom I might be willing to fly cross country without seeing full face pics because of their long years of faithful service to the client community-- whoops thought I was making a speech there-- but the sentiment remains true-- they have the long years of positive reviews that mostly seem true and induce trust in me that they live up to their promises. Mike Grey if he hadn't retired is another one-- and I'm trying to decide about Jack Thornton-- his ad comes and goes so frequently that it's worrisome to me. I'm sure there may be a very few others, but it's a fairly select group.

You're an escort. It's your job to make it easier for us to find you and hire you. If you cannot supply a face pic, then I don't want to hire you. If you're that concerned about leading a double life, maybe this isn't the job for you. Go work somewhere else.

I totally disagree. An escort's job is to satisfy the clients he chooses to see, and he has the right to set the conditions under which he is comfortable & willing to do that. Similarly, clients have right to set out the requirements & conditions that must be met before they hire. If either party is unwilling to meet the other's terms - no harm, no foul.

[NYTomcat]

I totally understand dave's concern about fatherhood and his children. But like many here I would not hire without a face pic. But as I said previously there are always ways around this. All I would say is the escort would also have to be understanding if the client up on first meeting decided to cancel. While that might be an awkward moment For some clients facial features ar of the utmost importance.

 

While the need to keep facial shots private maybe of importance to escorts. No 1 would expect a size queen To hire an escort without knowing the size of his... Well I think you get the idea.

[Diverdan]

I was not going to respond, but in respect to Dave, I decided to do so. I first hired him several years ago, without seeing a face picture, as a result of a telephone conversation we had. I was visiting DC and wanted/needed a massage. I went to see Dave in his studio and was blown away by its appearance and by him. I had a wonderful massage with some delightful erotic elements. I have hired him on several occasions since and all have been some of the best experiences I have ever had. Like other posters comments, I prefer to see a face picture, but it is not a deal breaker. I rely a lot on my phone conversations before making a decision and have only had one really bad experience, and in that case (which I have written about elsewhere) I had seen the guys face pictures as well as everything else. So, I think we need to have mutual respect on both sides of this question, and we should, IMHO, not be casting aspersions on what decisions the other party decides to make regarding pictures or anything else. It takes both parties to make a successful interaction, and one approach does not work for everyone.

Mikey -- In reading the answers and think quite a bit more about the question and I need to certain modify my answer quite a bit. Would I hire someone without seeing their face. It depends on the person. If they are well reviewed and a known quantity to me, then the answer is yes, you betcha. Gman gave 2 great examples: Dave and Dane. I have 1 more great example and the ultimate poster boy for the question. The other great example for me is Steve Stacks from San Francisco. He and I have talked about him coming East this year and I sure hope he does. I haven't seen his face but if he comes, he's hired. But their is a poster child for this question for those who say yes. And he's staring us in th face. Because if there is any client on thse boards who says they wouldn't hire Juan Bruno, from my point of view they are either blind, dead, or simply crazy. Juan to me is the personification of sex. When the question was posed a couple of months ago "what 3 escorts would you take with you on a desert isle", Juan was by far the choice of everyone. Yet I don't think any of us have seen his picture. So why is he so popular? Because there is more than a picture there -- there is a brain, a sensuality, a sexuality that I think is virtually unmatched.

 

Now as for Mr. Rockin here, I haven't hired him -- YET. A situation I plan to remedy in the VERY near future. I've never seen his picture. But I've seen his face -- and trust me boys it's gorgeous. Well if I haven't seen his picture how have I seen his face? Simple. One of our fellow posters, and my good friend, was coming to DC last month. He asked me what to do to while in town including any escorts. So even though I had never hired him, I knew his reputation was as good as gold and so I told my friend the only one I would consider in that situation was Dave. And so he did. Since it was a late morning hire, when he finished I met my friend for lunch. Dave was invited and joined us. And I for one had a great time with the three of us talking. I think it freaked Dave out a bit that I would recommend him since i've never hired him. but his reputation preceded him. And when I do hire him in a few weeks, I just wonder if I may be the first person to hire him for the first time who HAS seen what he looks like.

[leigh.bess.toad]

Quick and easy answer.

... no

 

And TC -- my brother -- my example of Juan Bruno shows there are exceptions because I KNOW you'd be on I-95 driving faster than that to DC if he was coming here. Your ass would hurt for a month but you wouldn't care.
