You dont' "have to" flag it, but I would. She seems like one of those "guests" (and there are "hosts" like this too) who actually belong on quite a different website.

Well, the photo does match up with the name on Twitter and Facebook, so if this guest has been reviewed and has Verified ID, I]d at least be satisfied that she was who she claimed to be. And I've never had a reason to discriminate against underwear models or exhibitionists. I think if I got a request like this, I'd feel the need to ask a few follow-up questions before accepting, but I can't quite figure out what would be the appropriate ones to ask, without seeming judgmental or sexist.
What if this person had successfully booked with a more conventional profile pic, and then later you discovered her risque Facebook profile?

Sincerely Andrew i would have prefer a more classical photo. And if i discovered after the booking that she was à model like this one, it wont bother me. I had kind of this situation before. I dont mind if you think i am judgmental or not, i take a risk when i host someone at home and Yes i think a classical photo would be better in a website like airbnb.

I don't mean to imply that you're judgmental at all; I think it is somewhat suspicious when people present themselves in such a sexualized way in a place where it's so out-of-context (as opposed to, say, a dating profile).

Totally valid points Andrew! I had a Swedish lady book with me who was into techno music parties and wildlife. I said you realise we aren't near nightclubs? She was a awesome guest, really interesting person. Honestly as long as this person wasn't planning on having unregistered visitors to my place I think their honesty is refreshing.

I have to say the photo, in the context of sharing someone's home, made me a bit uncomfortable as well. I remember one of Andrew's comments about a topless male host - if he saw a photo like that as a guest, he would expect the host to look like that when he arrived, or something to that effect. I think my discomfort is mainly with her choice of photo rather than the photo itself – it doesn't seem appropriate, so I question if she is capable of making appropriate decisions when she's living in my home.

Some would find it a bit of a bait-and-switch, if Flavia turned out to wear flannel pajamas around the hosue.

Deboraha year ago
I definitely agree with you Julie, and with Andrew. This woman might have come across as a fine guest if she had used a profile photo that was suitable for this venue and for general requests for accomodations. However, as Julie very wisely points out, her choice to use this provocative photo suggests poor judgement on her part, as it is not appropriate to the context. So it is essentially a "red flag" which indicates that the guest might in other ways behave inappropriately or not employ good judgement.
Then too, her use of this photo might also reflect that she is quite used to getting her way and getting doors thrown open for her due to her status as a model, or her attractiveness, so that she may be a bit "spoiled" or entitled -- believing, like some Hollywood Starlets, that all she has to do is pose in lingerie and red carpets will be rolled out everywhere for her footsies to walk upon.

I put here my dicussion with Flavia, because she replied to my message and changed her profile photo for another one not a sexy one but this time it is not possible to see claerly her face. I dont know how to put this photo here.
Flavia: bonjour je voudrais savoir si votre appartement est disponible pour la date 10/05 au 17/05 Merci
Moi: Bonsoir, ici je loue un canapé lit dans L appartement que j'occupe. C'est donc un lieu partagé avec moi-même.
Je dois vous dire que je suis un peu étonnée par votre photo de profil
Dans quel but venez-vous à Menton ?

She doesn't understand the problem with her photo, and though she wanted an entire apartment to rent, she inquired to stay with you when you offer a sofa in your living room. So, she's not one of the brightest tacks in the box.
