You got that right, if you ask a provider like Jackie Gilcrest for a photo, most likely it will be no. But you are dealing with a well established provider who has a website and multiple people can attest that she's real. So there's an element of trust in the air toward the provider. If you're talking about a no name girl that you pick out of leolist, the trust is different.
Now, the Ottawa scene has been going downhill since before the pandemic. Price went up. The time when we were picking a provider on BP for 200 and had 75% chance guaranty to have a very good time is long gone. Today, as clients, we need to do more search and be ready to pay more. Reality is that the good ones are pricey now. I personally decided to stop searching for $200 SP anymore, they are no good for the most or there's always an issue. I know some people will throw rocks at me for saying this but that's the reality of Ottawa. If you want chipper providers, Montreal is only 2 hours away. But then you'll have to pay for the pricey gas to get there which will make you pay that extra 100 that you didn't want to pay to an establish provider in Ottawa - Unless, of course, you have a reason to be in Montreal and take advantage of it to see someone.
