Not showing face in profiles

[RuffRugged]

Since I started cropping pics taking out my face business has been really down REALLY DOWN I know its because of this because of the timing I was getting good business before & the other week I rejoined gay romeo & had to show a pic of face to activate my profile & when I checked see if my account was active I had 5 potential clients messages now I cropped that one still no business or messages now, I am no win situation I want to stay discreet but its loosing me money

Personally, I would never hire an escort, or meet someone from a chat site, without having seen a clear face pic. I simply would be unable to tell if I fancied someone without seeing their face.

Now, some clients appreciate the discretion angle and are happy to email to request face pics but, I would say, they are in the minority. If you wish to hide your face on escort ads, you must accept that you will receive less enquiries.

The question then becomes how one maximises enquiries from the remaining clients. I would suggest that you need to

• make all your photos and text as attractive as possible;
  
• make it clear on your advert that you're not showing your face due to discretion;
  
• make it clear on your advert that you're happy to email face pics;
  
• make it as easy as possible for clients to request your face pics.
  

I've never advertised this way myself, so I'd be interested to hear other people's suggestions.

Those all sound like really good suggestions.

You could also maybe get new photos done, a photo shoot were you have in mind that you won't be showing your face: you could focus on shots taken from behind (showing off your fine arse), maybe with you looking over your shoulder, partially hiding your face; shots taken from the front, but with your head turned to the side or tilted up or down; or lying on your front with the camera facing you and taking in all your body, but with your arms folded in front of your face so only your eyes show.

I think those type of photos will look a bit more appealing than ones with your face chopped out.

(There's always the fetish route of hoods and masks, but it depends who you're trying to attract...)

Good Ideas, I need to get a new photo shoot done anyway at the moment I cam up with making a Standard Website where I can Hide a Page, So as Ben said make easy for clients to see your pics if they need to so I put on my profiles that they can let me know that would like to see me & I give them the link to the hidden page, I will not use the email option as I believe what might seem a potential client maybe not cos then hes got my pic & can do what he wants, with it, 7 I am still getting bothered by this guy sending emails with dodgy links so it could be him also which why I won't use the email option.

Brilliant ideas Rab. Photos composed to look hot without the face are going to look much better than those where the face had been removed.

This would be great, then you could give out the secret address over the phone and wouldn't even need to be by the computer to respond to requests.
