Escorts Who Use/Reuse Old Photos

[Guest Magnus]

I thought it might be good to start a new thread regarding this practice. It came up in another thread regarding an escort I saw many years ago who has been using the same photos for almost as long: http://www.companyofmen.org/showthread.php?78817-411-on-Paulo-NYC

 

Orbital Sander made a very interesting comment in that thread, which, at first blush, seems to be a legitimate concern:

 

Here here...

It is amazing to me how some guys continue to use old photo's and guys (even very well reviewed) will keep their age floating at around 40 for 10 + years.

If they cannot be reasonably honest, then I have zero interest and I think the deception is unprofessional to say the least.

 

However, while looking through the adds of some of the best guys I've been with, I have noticed that they all have been using the same photos for quite some time, even years. Cases in point are:

Leo: http://www.rentboy.com/Listing.aspx?lid=76680

Edinson: http://www.rentboy.com/Listing.aspx?lid=189019

and my standout: Shaun Ross (sorry, his add was down at the time of this posting so I could not provide a link, but you can find him on Daddy's Reviews).

Anyway, they all appear to have been using the same photos for quite some time. Especially Shaun. Shaun even sent me some hot pics of himself in underwear I gave him at our last meeting (a week ago), but he has not posted them as updates to his current add (which I suggested he do).

My point is that I have found that these guys' physiques have not changed much over time. Nor has the EXCELLENT service they provide, so I don't think it's "dishonest" that they continue to use the same pictures in their adds.

However, I can see that if a guy uses the same photos for an extended period of time, prospective clients might become wary after seeing the same picture time and again.

I agree with Magnus: as long as there is no major change, it is alright to reuse "old" photos. In fact, old photos help identify some escorts and become almost like a trademark. Recently I rehired an escort I had hired about 6 or 7 years ago; while he was "OK", I would not have rehired him as I am use to very top guys like Shaun and for rehires, "OK" is just not good enough. His name was common, he had "retired" for about 4 or 5 years (so, "out of sight, out of mind") and his new pictures looked great; until I opened the door, I did not recongize it was the same escort; again the service was "OK" but not outstanding like Shaun.

Absolutely true here. I think it's a good practice that escorts update their photos. It allows us the opportunity to get a real and current image of the person that will be showing up to our door.

I once hired a guy out is SF that portrayed himself thru his photos as a man in his mid 20's.. However, what showed up was a man easily pushing his mid 40's. Although he was attractive, it was not what I was looking for. I'm a person that that knows what rejection is, and felt terrible sending him away. But I also thought it was pretty deceitful on his part.

Escorts should regularly update their photos. I live in a city that is not overflowing with escorts, and there times when someone has to be imported. I remember hiring, based on his photos, a real good looking young dude. Unfortunately when the real person arrived, he had clearly put weight, the muscle tone as essentially gone. His stated age appeared to be accurate, but his body had gone to flab. While he performed well for me, the whole scene lost what could have been real intense.

As a client, this is one of my biggest questions. It is especially confusing if the escort has pictures from different times - in one he is smooth (shaved chest), in another nice trimed body hair, in another he is sasquatch! Since, I'm a torso guy, this is important to me. I always ask for current picture or ask how current the pictures on the web site are. I'm not afraid to ask for something specific, like "Could you send me a head and shoulders picture (preferably shirtless)? This usually starts a discussion with the escort about their current body status (weight, build, body hair, etc.) - fun discussion and I know what to expect, also, I sometimes get some great personal shots sometimes revealing things that aren't what I'm looking for like multiple piercings!

great thread guys. as an escort the biggest complaint I hear from clients is that when they hire a guy and get so excited to meet him and then he looks nothing at all like his pics. When clients see me I usually hear one of two comments: 1. You look better than the pics or just like them. 2. your pics do not do you justice. This is because I always have a current pic in my ad (real current- within 6 months) IN my m4rn ad the one with the black shirt (the close up used in Daddys' reviews) is me now. some of the Dick pics are a year or two old but the fact is my dick has not changed since I was 18. Body pics are where clients are often mislead. For instance if I showed my , "signature, trademark,": pics when I was a 153 pound chicken which I was for years and I show up as a beefy 185 pound hunk then if the client wanted chicken he would be pissed and rightly so. That is why I have pics that show me at 185 pounds so the client will know exactly what he is paying for. http://www.rentboy.com/mikey9nola1 ATLANTA Feb7th-12th

Mikey you are on your game. It's a shame that so many others won't take the same approach as you.

We all change with time. Some of us improve, others only have their heyday to look back on. That's a cold reality.

I like look, I like your attitude, and respect your choices to put it all out there and go from there. Kudos to you!

While I agree that that using those same photos can be problematic, in Edin's case the photos are ABSOLUTELY truthful as to how he looks now. In short ... amazing. He's a sexy little number and has a perfect body.

David, I second that opinion. Edin's body is tight, compact and ripped. He gave me an incredible sensual massage last spring... The only displeasure I had was wanting more, more, more of him! His ass is flawless. I loved his hands all over my body, but truthfully, I would have been content to pay his fee and then just to sit and stare at his spectacular glutes for an hour! He's a great guy--I just desperately wish a genie would blink her eyes and magically turn Edin into a power bottom!

I tend to distrust professional photos, especially of the artistic type, since they may have been too flattering in the beginning, and escorts tend to use them forever. It is too expensive to have professional photos often. Amateur photos are more likely to be recent, and self photos with a cell phone, the most reliable of all.

There are those "Working Guys" who just have not realized that they donot look like they did 5 years ago!

 

In "The Wonderful World of The Working Guy" 5 years of doing Biz can easily Age You 10! No I will not be submitting any Names..You know who you are....LOL

This subject was covered almost one year ago in a like thread, "Defeat photo fraud". The best defense is to let one another know right here on the M-F.

As far as Edin as a "power bottom" goes, I found found that he performs admirably as a bottom. He certainly knows how to "ride," and when taking him from behind he pushed back hard each time I pushed forward. One of the things I loved doing the most was having him ride on top while I enjoyed exploring that amazing body of his with my hands and eyes. Sadly, my ability to hold back before cuming was severely limited by his amazing beauty and grip of his tight ass. I would have been happy for it to go on for 2 or 3 times as long as it did. As it was, after I came, he was very hard and so I got to enjoy getting him off as "icing" on the cake ... so to speak.
