Am I Seeing Things- San Diego Massage Ad

[+ Gar1eth]

Ok I was just perusing ads for fun. This is guy is only advertising for women clients. But he says his pictures are a 100% real. But to my eyes the second picture looks nothing like the guy in the 1st picture. I just wanted some opinions.

Ha, so damn obvious! How can the advertiser not see that?

They could be the same guy. There be about 15 years difference in age, however. But I could consider it possible that they are the same guy.

Except that hairstyle and photographic quality in the 'younger' version are too new for even 10 years ago, much less 15.

Well, the hairstyle would have been around somewhat in 1990, but not even.

True. But if I put up my high school graduation picture and a current picture in my ad, I'd expect to get some questions.

 

I've always been tickled by the masseuse/massuer mixup (or "massues" in this case). Masseuse is female, masseur is male. But I'm rarely hiring based on their mastery of words.

You might want to look again. I'm seeing a hairstyle brought to you by your friends at blow dry and hair mousse. Does anyone still use that stuff? However, even if the second pic is of his younger self, do you want to book an appointment with someone who posts an ad that is so obviously misleading?

Don't need to: I'm seeing an undercut pattern that didn't exist when I did hair in the 90s - its higher on the head now than it was then, and this style only started getting popular again since 2010. Plus the picture quality is too clear for something to have been scanned from 15 years back because they would have had to use a drum scan since flatbeds weren't as sharp - this has the hallmarks of a digital photo. Not to mention the proportions of his face, with the length of his nose, the relative proportion in relation to each of the features, don't match up from profile to front view, even with a 15 year difference.

 

I suppose we can definitely agree, regardless of vintage or identity, that it's highly likely the shirtless boy is NOT who you'd see open the door to your appointment!

G-d, I wish I had looked like that in high school. As for the masseur- I was thinking it was probably a typo. Anyway, I'm not that attracted to him- only a little, and he's only advertising for women. I just brought it up here because there was a discrepancy in the pictures. If it really is an old picture of him, well I remember showing old pictures was a little more frequent when I first started hiring. But usually only if someone had been a famous porn star. If this really is him, and I doubt it, why would you do that? And if they are supposed to be two current pictures- even I as someone who is not always good at matching pictures can see the difference. I don't see what the point is.

Please have you never been either to your average escort's dwelling, had one over for an overnight- or even a non escort younger gay male's house- or even many ( I'm not sure whether I should put 'most') older gay males' houses.? And come to think of it, these days a large proportion of younger straight males too.

 

If the guys are lucky enough not to be bald and not prefer the buzzed or shaved head look- then they are probably using some mousse like product to make their hair look greased (or even just a bit shiny) or that Bed Head stuff that makes the hair stick up in different directions. If only the makers of Dippity Doo for women could have held on for 30 years, they would have had a whole new market in men.

P...then they are probably using some mousse like product to make their hair look greased (or even just a bit shiny) or that Bed Head stuff that makes the hair stick up in different directions. ...

 

That's my point. Bed Head and the stuff that makes hair look greased doesn't poouf up hair like that in the picture. That's why I think it is from back in the day. Regardless, the pics are either of different guys or the same guy several years apart. Who knows what will answer the door?

You said it before I could.
