Complete Newbie here. Haven't worked up the courage to go out yet. Just browsing different sites. Deciding where to go.
I wonder if the roster photos are generally real, and how to tell what you can trust or not?

* Some places have obs completely fake distorted pics like sharp chins and huge eyes - what's with that?
* Some you can't see any faces. Surely faces are important no? How would you book w/o a face?
* Some like ginza have a mix of maybe real and some outsite pics mixed with inside phone pics some w and w/o face - again how would you choose?
* Some have mostly pretty good photos, and I guess now I'm scared as it's the minority

I would have thought they'd all want good photos to get guys in, but if you're not choosing by photo how do you choose? And how do you afford those $500+
