I was going to say something like this, For example, we see a picture that is obviously photo shopped. But there is no reason why we also must assume that the photo is not longer representative of the sp herself. That was the point i was trying to make. There is a style of photographs that are meant to attract a specific type of clientele, this is what i was referring to when i said professional photos tell a type of client that the sp is heavily invested in her reputation and her business, and for that type of clientele, it signals that she is the exact sort of escort he wants to see. This is not a client who is impresses by selfies, he is impressed by what professional photos & marketing tell him more about the escort. There are escorts who know who this clientele is, and you can see from their pro photos that this is their main target market. Some agencies are aware of this as well, so they have a tendency to use that same style of photography on all their escorts pages. it isn't misleading, it is doing exactly what it intends to do. i haven't met the sps who use this type of photography, so it isn't my place to decide that they are using photo shop to mislead. If i met face to face all of the escorts who have chosen this type of photography (as in that type of client) then maybe I could claim that i know it is all misleading to use retouching. This is a different market, it is not one that i make claims to try to access. However, I can recognize that the style works, and it is meant to draw in that kind of client. Also that these clients are comparing sites/photos/info from many different escorts or agencies, and all of those are using the same style photography. if the word 'elite' has meaning, this is where it would show up. Elite (wealthy, traveling, business class) clients seeking elite escorts (discreet, professional, attractive, mature, able to blend in social activities, and so on).

Victoria, I find this thread to be distasteful and not in the spirit of this site. I truly feel an apology is warranted. It's one thing to discuss bait and switch (which you have indicated to not be the case), but you are critiquing those that photo shop their pictures to "an extent of changing how they really look". It airs on the side of airing out dirty laundry. I can just see the pm's you must get saying "who are you talking about". Since you have read the sticky on airing out dirty laundry, you understand this is not ok. Especially after posting this: If you can't support others, don't complain about those YOU feel are doing something you don't agree with. Either support others or stay silent please. My civilian look is totally different then my business look. I'd hate to think that someone is going around saying I look nothing like my pictures. My pictures are 100% me. No retouching and no photoshop. I do crop them but that's it. I admire those that get professional pictures done and have no issue with them enhancing them. I've never lost business because of someone else's business practices. I do my thing and do very well. I would never post a critical post like this. If you know of someone who is blatantly posting pictures on THIS SITE that are not accurate, AND you have proof, post in bait and switch or notify mod. However insinuating otherwise is not cool.

Maybe you should take a gander over to the "REVIEW BOARDS" and read the kind and lovely comments from men who admit to never have seeing a certain companion yet tear her photos to shreds. It exists everywhere and the ones who have never met ladies are usually the worst with their comments. Not everything in this business is fairies and rainbows.

I've been here since may 2011 and my weight has fluctuated up and down 20 lbs or so and I have clients that keep coming and never mention anything. Most don't appear to notice. I will say though, I did lose a boyfriend over my decision to do my breast augmentation. He said he would leave if I changed them and he did. So I benefitted doubly when I did my boobs, lol. I went from a C to a D and lost an ass;) I think most men when they find someone they like are fine with some changes, most aren't that shallow. At least the ones I've met.

This is where I have an issue. This site is about positive issues. By "venting," it changes what this site is about. We are not allowed to vent. I'm sorry this issue bothers you, and you feel it's important to point out what others are doing (again this is your opinion not necessarily shared by others, and I still don't understand why you felt the need to vent about). Now, if you were talking about public figures (like Halle Berry making herself appear white in her recent pictures), that's an entirely different matter. However, to mention being 20 pounds heavier, buck teeth and such, sorry, it's not ok ON THIS SITE. Unless you have something positive to say...Please stay silent about these types of issues. Thank you for apologizing.

Today is the first day since I got a flu that I feel myself. Slept a whole night with no coughing and slept in my bed ( was on couch to stay upright) Also is now 6 days with no smoking:) Have no plans to start either! Yay, blessing in disguise:)

I have a theory about those who ask for this 'feature'. I don't think it's REALLY because they want to help the ladies screen or otherwise choose men. As has been pointed out, they already have ways to do that. Also, there are already things like P411 and such that have rating systems for clients. So OP, I'm about to cast aspersions on your motives. I hope you don't take it personally but what I think you and others who have lobbied for this in the past REALLY want is to know is what the ladies think of them. They want to know how they rank, are they actually good in bed, are they attractive, do they have something about them that makes them better than the other guys, etc. It's a competition thing. He who gets the most positive recos wins. Thing is though, think about the position it puts the ladies in. As soon as they write a reco for one client, other clients could potentially be put off. Maybe they don't want a reco written. Maybe they're jealous if one guy got a reco and they didn't. Besides, could a lady ever really write down a true opinion? Their position in the relationship is very different than yours. They will be sexy and intimate with all manner of men, some of whom they might never touch with a ten foot pole in 'real life'. Because they are professionals, they will give their best effort to make that man feel special and enjoy his time with her. Perhaps you're a great client. Maybe you rocked her world. Or maybe you're just ordinary and she faked it. Would you REALLY want to know? This is about fantasy, about believing what we want to believe. There's no room for truth here because, if truth be told, by definition most of us are pretty average. The business model depends on making you feel special. If the ladies were to suddenly develop a case of truthiness, we would probably be dismayed to find out just how forgettable many of us are.

today is my birthday and all 4 kids of mine forgot again. its not like they are young ones. 25. 23, 17 and 15. my 17 year old daughter who lives with me I let it slip it was my birthday so she said she was sorry and wished me a happy birthday from behind her bedroom door when I told her good night. at 9 tonight I got a facebook message from my 25 year old son to say happy birthday. I guess its nice he took the time to message. A phone call would have been nice. Not one of them did a darn thing to try to make my day special or show they care.

I agree the OP's post could have been worded better, but can we please avoid the subtle disparaging of street-based workers? The w*horearchy is really distasteful.

The idea has been brought up several time before here: https://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=126558 and here: http://www.lyla.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=8728&highlight=reviewing+client Privacy, discretion and confidentiality were often brought up against. Addendum; References and it's alternatives (when offered for new clients to the business), is an option.

Isn't discretion the #1 or 1 A) reason a man seeks an SP or MA ?

I think it unfair for anyone to assume why the op suggested this. Only he knows his reasons. What some think is a good idea, others will not. There are as many good reasons for having a reco section for hobbyists as there are bad. The arguments about size, performance are mute since no one should be mentioning those things any way, we are getting paid to spend time with one another, after all. As far as jealousy for being up talked or excluded, if companions can handle that couldn't hobbyists? As far as what's written or even if one is written, there could be a rule that you have to be okayed by the hobbyist before doing so, but.... All these aren't viable anyway as the mod in an old post said writing these would be pushing the boundaries of the law. So next idea:)

I think there is something to the idea that some gentlemen would like a reco section for hobbyists because they'd like to know how they "rank", for lack of a better term, but they would probably be disappointed by the criteria most sp's would use to grade them as clients. Things like hygiene, willingness to submit to screening, not haggling on prices, not insisting on a menu, etc, would be much higher on their lists than say, prowess between the sheets. I don't want to pull back the curtain on the wizard of oz for anyone, but I don't think a hobbyist's skills are of much concern to the average sp. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure they think it's a lovely bonus when you show some level of competency in bed, but it's hardly a dealbreaker if you're all thumbs. If recent board subjects are any indication, not sending a d**k pic puts you in elite company :p

I have had the displeasure of people misrepresenting themselves with their photography in the past, but it was a bait and switch, not an over photoshopped picture. As pro photographers get paid to make people look their best, I don't expect anyone to look exactly like they do in a staged photo in a controlled environment like a studio. Lighting plays a huge role in how you look in a picture, and a professional can emphasize a woman's best qualities in a way that a selfie will not, but I don't think that is necessarily misleading, it's just a photographer doing their job to the best of their abilities. There is one very beautiful woman who has commented on this thread with a wide variety of pro pictures, and while there may be some evidence of photoshopping here and there, I can say from experience that this woman does indeed look quite spectacular in person. I would be quite shocked if anyone felt mislead by her portfolio, and on a personal level, I think she looks much better in person ( with less make-up - another photography *trick* :p )

MM I am sorry you feel that way, the post was in no way to be disrespectful to anyone, it was simply an opinion on photo shop over kill, and my feelings on it, not to start disrespecting anyone on photos of any kind , which I previously posted, I'm not sure how this offended anyone, but if it did I apoligize, I don't feel it's airing out dirty laundry, when you simply have an opinion, but I am new to Lyla, so again I apologize if the thread did offend anyone

Really if you do know of ladies who have had professional photographs done that are a clear misrepresentation of themselves, you should report it in the Warnings Section of the city they are in. Your post, at least to me implies all ladies who have professional photos done are misleading potential clients. Even ladies I saw and couldn't recommend, their photos were accurate. And to say I have been lucky, I have partaken in this lifestyle since July 2010. Not one lady's photo a misrepresentation of her I haven't been lucky, I do my research. A lady who misrepresents herself with photos needs to be reported in the Warnings Section, because fake or misrepresented photos are part of bait and switch My concern with a thread like this, it paints all ladies who use professional photos as misrepresenting themselves. And ladies who invest in themselves by having professional photos shouldn't be painted with the same brush as those who use what I'll call fake photos Your thread does a major disservice to many professional companions here on Lyla, especially the ones who invest in themselves by having professional photos done.

. In reality yes we all provide a fantasy or an escape in what we do. However the reality is this business can be a VERY cruel one and the real truth is very visible on other boards which allow it. This site is a nice and friendly place where the cruel reality of negative reviews or comments do not exist. You would be surprised at how many new people wild believe a post from someone with a high post count (true or not). If we don't not the fact this BS goes on, it will only get worse and people need to be made aware of it.

Socks with sandals ,, seriously ??!! Lol

Tempted Monk, Read the links and you will understand the difference. If after reading the threads you are still unsure, let me know and I will gladly explain ;)

Ladies have their own screening methods And ladies should be the ones to decide if needs be, amongst each other, screening methods It's not for us clients to advocate how a lady screens, just support a lady when she asks a client for screening information from a prospective client Sometimes as part of screening, they look at a board member's posting history Hence why often a lady wants a prospective client to confirm his board handle by PM Also there is the Ladies' Only section on Lyla But who knows what is discussed on the SP Only section of Lyla (which is btw part of this board, just gentlemen not allowed) Just because us men don't see it on Lyla doesn't mean it isn't there And even though I'm not allowed, nor never will be allowed access, I don't feel excluded ;-) RG

You know, up until this point: I was willing to excuse what could potentially be poor choice in wording or a language barrier. If OP had simply asked, can anyone recommend a provider in the $xxx-$xxx range, this wouldn't be offensive. But then OP took it a step further: And further still: Something. Something. Some thing. Not a person, but a thing. And just to be sure, reiterated again: OP, even if my rates were somehow in your concept of a "cheap" price range (because yes, one person's affordable might be out of reach for another person), your post has successfully made my vagina completely retract back up into my body, where it is currently hanging out with my spleen and is never producing another drop of lubrication, ever.

I dunno. I'm interested to know too. I think I could refer a few guys her way. They're obviously not looking for me. Many years ago, I used to visit a town and see a few guys there. To be honest, it was a stressful trip for me. At some point, they informed me that they'd found someone who'd do the job for a lot less plus some groceries. They graciously offered me the chance to counter offer. I declined. It wasn't a whole year later when they were begging me to visit again, but by that time, my circumstances had changed, and it was no longer convenient. I don't blame people for trying to get a better deal, if that's what they want. And maybe people don't need the quality they don't want to pay for. Who's to say that's wrong? Each of us can only decide that for themselves. If someone would be happy with a lacklustre session for cheap dollars, sure. He probably won't like my rates. But I don't price for him. I price for the guy looking for a quality experience. To each his or her own.

Looking forward to learning a lot here.

Unbroken amazing movie based on a true story. It runs 2 hrs 15 mins... If what happened to him in real life, most people could not survive one tenth of what he went thru.. An Olympic Athlete who at the start of his young life was on the wrong track. His older brother put him back on the right track. To become that Olympic Athlete who set a World record and then had to fight in WWII, in Japan. He only passed in 2014.. in his ninety's. Definitely a Movie to watch.. For those who watch it I hope you enjoy.. I did..

I didn't even need to image search those. Sometimes you can just smell it That one picture of the woman facing the wall standing with black shear lingerie with pink lace is deadly hot. Hubba hubba!!! I almost want to believe it's real ;)

The difference is this. A client's recommendation of a lady is directed to other potential clients of a lady to see because she is a wonderful companion A lady's screening methods are to determine if potential clients are safe to see. And when it comes to a lady's safety she is going to use tried and proven methods of screening (client's name, email, phone number, reference etc) It isn't done by having a list of client's name on Lyla. It is done on an individual basis. Your intent may be good, but really, you're trying to fix something that isn't broken. And to reiterate, first guys should have no part in telling ladies how to screen. And second, how do we know what goes on in the Ladies Only Section...I don't. Maybe they utilize that section in part in their screening A morning rambling before coffee number one RG

Hmm, fairies and rainbows, Miss Rushton it is you who often comments to this business as being about fantasy,lol. So when I get off my unicorn I'll have a gander at those boards, lol. In all seriousness, if that's the case then why even bother mentioning them, they are obviously stupid and irrelevant. I'm sure their comments will be seen by the wise as such. After all, if someone hasn't seen the person how can they comment to their appearance. Ignore, ignore, is the rule for them. Many of us have been the brunt of ignorance, crude and stupid remarks. Noting their presence just validates them imo. Thanks for your response.

Patrick all you did was voice your opinion, which I always look forward to hearing. No need to apologize. You are always the perfect gentleman, thank you for taking the time . It's my opinion that you are one of Lyla's most interesting, non-biased, articulate and informed posters so I appreciate your view whether it sides with mine or not. Differing views and opinions are what make a discussion interesting and sometimes teach some of us something new. Please never feel that you shouldn't state yours freely.

What it all boils down to for me is: Is "sincerity conveyed" in the person's representation of themselves or the business they represent. As I mentioned above is an amalgamation of things. My above post did not properly express this, and I apologize to CristyCurves and anyone else for that. It was not meant as a critique of any single aspect of a person's equipment or expertise. Please accept my public apologies if anyone has felt in the least slighted, and feel free to post publicly or send me a note privately. Sincerely, and with regret. PatrickGC

Don't send me a private message pointing out that I didn't spell a word correctly in my ad and sending me a link to vocabulary.com. It's rude and condescending! And if a person wants to debate on whether the spelling is "discreet" or "discrete" in sentence, do it in this area! I'm certain a person has better things to do with their time.

Well I'm trying to think of some lady where the companion's photos did not look at all like the lady used over kill, or was a misrepresentation of herself. Of the ladies I have seen who had/have professional photos done, (at the time I saw them) ten out of ten ladies had photos that accurately represented themselves. In fact of all the ladies I've seen, whether they used professional photos or selfies, I've never had an issue about the photo accurately representing themselves. I'm sure there are some, but I've been seeing professional companions since July 2010 (not long compared to most) and never has a lady's photos been an issue for me Anyhow, just a rambling reflecting my experience RG

I think some people in this thread are conflating the notion of touch-ups like ER mentioned vs. massive photoshop changes of boob size, waist size, eye color, etc. One is certainly fine, the other, kind of sketchy. I don't think anyone is accusing people who have professional, lightly touched-up photos of misrepresenting themselves.

Dear OP, Dear Ladies, and Dear Gentlemen, We have read another thread lately with a sensitive topic that took a bitter way very quickly. I am talking about the one when "if a gentleman does not feel attracted to a lady when he arrives at her door, and wants to leave, what should he do?". The OP of this past thread had not worded his question this way. It seems to me that the way this new thread started shows a similar issue. Although I am extremely tempted to respond to the OP here by using some deep ironic humor, I will keep myself from doing that. Allow me to be articulate here to bring my view about all this: a-There is a huge problem regarding the way some threads have been started by some "gentlemen" lately. This problem is called COMMUNICATION. There is always a way to phrase such things differently, and in a respectful manner. Which leads to point b. b- RESPECT is what this website is all about. This is what makes it different from other boards. This is why we feel that we are a community - and I believe that we are - even if sometimes we disagree. And I believe that we all take this core principle at heart. Which leads me to point c. c- I think that some new members - and the OP is a new one - do not seem to get what Lyla is about. They should read about all Lyla's rules before starting to post here. Because our first value is "CONSIDERATION". The choice on this board is to consider the ladies, no to "trash comment" them. Which leads me to point d. d- Even if it is true that sometimes by paying less (see the wording? Instead of saying "cheap" which is degrading I use "paying less") we still can receive a good service, there is always a way to ask for things, or express a point of view in an ELEGANT MANNER. Because.... e- We ladies are not pieces of meat. We are HUMAN BEINGS. We deserve your respect, whatever your requests or budget are when you seek a service for a relaxing moment. The point e leads back to point a, COMMUNICATION. I am starting to have no patience with people who cannot properly communicate with others, with respect, with consideration. And I shall add here that English is my second language. If I manage to do it, others can too? Is that too much to ask, consideration and respectful communication?

No, that's just not true. Sometimes cheap can be reliable, especially if she doesn't know better. We like to pretend that pricing is an indicator of quality, but that's not exactly so. Staying the course is an indicator of quality. If someone is advertising the same rates for a long time, then that's an indication that she's worth those rates. If someone advertises a rate for a while, then disappears or appears under another name, then that's a hint that she wasn't worth the rate. If she reappears under a higher rate, it's a clue that she's worth more. But if someone stays at a rate for a prolonged time, then chances are she's worth that rate and getting it easily. Trying to haggle her down will only insult her.

CHEAP is NEVER reliable. And RELIABLE is never CHEAP.

Probably said before...when a client contacts you and doesn't know your name...

Hello everyone , I hope I am posting in the proper spot . As several ladies have done I have amended my friend list . My list is already small and exclusive so my job is not huge . I hope not to offend anyone but if we have had no contact for a year we may not again . Love and good vibrations to all , Katherine

Your advertising should reflect you and the more descriptive words the better. "Money is being exchanged for time or time and companionship". While I don't know what type of dates you offer, the following is a suggestion: Wild, adventurous and Intense could be used to describe a hot pse style date. Sensual, romantic, and gentle could be used for a gfe style date. Put the word safe anywhere in there and you have a safe gfe date. Basically a visually descriptive paragraph describing you and the time together, more is better in this case for what you write. It is about getting people to read between the lines, yet being clear so they get it. I suggest, start with the highlights about you and then get more visually descriptive as you start writing about the date you offer. Think about your best asset and go from there. Once you start writing it does get easier. I hope this helps. xoxo Emily
