Hello folks :)
Just wondering how many other ladies run into this? I've tried to explain that for my privacy and security, I don't just send my face to strangers. For some reason, they don't get that. I've even said they can come on here and ask if I'm ugly, if they're that concerned. But no, in this selfie age, I'm expected to whip out a selfie to satisfy their demands.
#1, I can't. I SUCK at selfies! I'm Gen X and never mastered that art.
#2. I won't! I don't feel safe! I don't need the uncertainty of my photo being attached to this line of work being circulated online. I used to be naive and trusting. No longer. Halifax is a SMALL town, and I just can't take that risk.
Am I just being paranoid? I know I just lost a client because I refused to buckle. But then, if they won't negotiate on this detail, what else may they not be negotiable on? I even said I'd meet them for coffee or similar if it was that big an issue.
Thanks for any honest feedback.
