I try to use Grindr to meet guys when I travel. Eventually, I'll find someone near by and we chat and exchange some pics. I'm married and discreet, so, I only send body pics. We talk about what we want and get really close to meeting up when the guy will ask for a face pic. I have already made it clear to them that I'm married and discreet, so they shouldn't be asking for a face pic. My face is going to be between their legs sucking their dick, so WHY do they want a face pic???
Just on the basis of pure logic, and assuming a great deal here, since I don't use Grindr, but wouldn't it be easier to recognize you when you meet if he knew what you looked like? I mean, I think it would be kind of awkward for him to wander around asking all the guys that fit your body description if they are the one that's going to suck his cock.
Just a thought. I know that for myself, I rely on good old fashion methods of meeting people. I won't use apps, and I want to have a good idea of who I'm meeting before hand. I won't "Hook-Up" just to have sex, I want a connection first, and to be sure that there is at least a small level of trust that I can count on in order to feel safe being alone and vulnerable with someone. I like living and I dislike hospitals.
Personally I like to see a body pic first...cos if they don't appeal to me physically then I don't want to meet; and if the body pic included a cock pic then all the better. Face can come later or maybe not at all until we meet. But everyone is different and some want a face...which I don't have a problem with...if they will show their face I'm happy to show mine, but since we r meeting for sex...then body and cock are the most important for me.

This is how I feel. Yes, we ALL have our "types" and we want to play with people that attract us. Personally, I'm not a fan of super hairy guys. So, a body pic is the bare minimum for me. The cock pic is an added bonus. With Grindr, I made the mistake ONCE to share my phone number (I get that a lot). This turned out to be a scammer and they found my identity using my phone number and threatened to expose me to family. My new rule is to not give out any personal identifiable information (including my face).
Seriously? Are you trade, like most people here, and not bisexual, so that this question seems strange to you? The face provides a lot of the information for judging whether a person is likeable or unlikeable. Who wants a sexual service provider who is unlikeable, ugly, mentally weak or disfigured by skin diseases?
Yeah, pretty much. Your hypothetical guy looking for a blowjob isn't going to just let anyone near his dick and you're more than likely not of a mind to just suck any guy's cock without establishing some bona fides both ways... and that usually begins with a face pic. Maybe you can better understand how and why I say that we've made doing this harder than it has to be and unnecessarily complicated. You have to be able to establish a level of trust and even I won't let you blow me without me seeing a picture of your face; you show it to me and that builds a measure of trust. I don't care if you're GQ pretty or as ugly as the original sin but you show me a pic of yourself and you're one step closer to having a fun good time with me. I'm easy... but a lot of guys are too busy trying to protect themselves and, as such, makes it so difficult to find a guy to suck or one eager to suck you.
