Photos requested from provider. Suggest not
I suggest that you move on to the next provider. I have provided photos a few times but only one time did it turn out to be a woman I would have liked to see. The other two seemed like everything was going right and then they stopped responding as I got close. That happens without the pictures too to all of us at times. The point being that sending pictures doesn't get you anything you really want, in my experience, nor does it seem to be associated with a better encounter. One time I sent a picture I had taken fairly recently. Not at my office or home (cell phone pics today record your location and can be displayed on a map exactly where they were taken) with everything else cropped out in the background so that it was just me. The provided asked for one now. I was out in my car so I was ok with the location being on the photo. The provider responded "handsome" sent me hers, then her location. The address was way wrong so I wasted about 20 minutes driving to the wrong end of Page Road then back to where I started when I got the name of the hotel. At the hotel, the parking lots had lots of people hanging out in their car, she was giving me the just a few minutes. I got creeped out, sent her a text about how creepy it all was, and left. That is the last time I will ever send a picture. Way too much crap for us as the customer to go through. There's also risk.
Someone on this list mentioned that the picture could be requested by a person trying to shame johns on this site. They could easily post pics of a hot girl, ask for pics to be sent to verify, get all the data they can from the exchange, and then see if they could expose the potential john. It would also be a great way for cops to ensure that they got you on all the communications, etc. In a sting. The upside does not seem to exist but the downside is easily enumerated.
If none of us are willing to do it then providers will stop asking for it or they get no business.
