Posted: 6/8/2006 10:27:43 PM | | Normally, I'd probably rip your head off for being shallow on the "extra few hundred pounds and not being attracted anymore" BUT, the fact of the matter is, the guy is a piece of shit who knows this. I can't fault you for being unattracted to a liar .. Let alone someone who isnt what he said he was. You have every right to tell this guy where to go and to go cry himself to sleep in a big ol' box of fries and gravy. | |

Posted: 6/9/2006 12:18:40 PM | I read through these forums and there are some good posts and I usually get a good
chuckle from some of them 
A lot of these posts have the same tone - why do men do this or why do men do that
and vice versa - why do women do this or why do women do that.
Yes prob most of these "things" that men or women do are not "men things or" women
things" rather human being traits, good or bad.
Posting fake pics is just wrong, no doubt about it. Delete .... next.
The amount of people that do it (men or women) is prob around the same, I hear lots
of men do it (no doubt) and I know a lot of women do it.
Posting pics that are really you but maybe not up to date, this can be very deceiving as
well, or even pics that are done by a professional.
99.9% of us are not "gq" material or the next "top model" .... so
As humans we all want to put our "best foot" forward and if it means massaging the
truth a little then we do it. (pics not up to date, our best photo only, professionally done
photos)
That is why it is better to have a few pics rather then just one. Can give the person
who is viewing a more accurate image of you. By all means have your best photo as your
lead in photo but make sure the other one's are at your profile for people to view.
I would rather have someone pass on my profile because they saw the real pics of me
or several pics of me over not passing because they saw my single best picture only to
think I decieved them when and if we met. Don't wish to waste my time or any one
else's for that matter.
We have all been there (men and women) .... when we go to meet that some one we
think might be a little extra special only to find out that - omgness this person looks
nothing like their photo and we can all relate to the feeling we get ... nothing but disa
pointment.
Just something to keep in mind when putting up your photo or photos.
And for those losers (men and women) who post out right fake pics I feel sorry for you,
cause if you don't have the guts or confidence in your self or your looks online then
you don't have a hope in hell of ever makin it work offline.
Just my 2 cents hope it makes sense lol  | |

Posted: 6/17/2006 3:14:53 PM | It happens to me all the time and it usually happens to me because of the following reasons:
1. Photoshop and stretching out the pictures.
2. Someone claiming to be athletic, but then disclosing that athletics pertains to softball and bowling.
3. Someone claiming to be petite, but in the end they were just short.
I do sympathize with you CityKitty, because many a time I have wasted my time and money on people that completely misrepresented themselves and it does get aggravating. That's why I give people an accurate discription of myself on my profile. They're going to find out how I look and act once we meet, so let's just be honest up front.
Additionaly, I think everyone needs to pick up a dictionary and start getting familiar with their terminology and I have provided some helpful tips to help you on your way:
Example #1: I'm 6'3 and have an offensive lineman's build, therefore i'm Big and Tall, not classified as "a few extra pounds". A few extra pounds is wearing a size 38 when you should be wearing a 36. A good reference point is that when you look in the mirror and your stomach drops 6 inches below you waist and you can't see your toes, you are officially NOT a few pounds heavy.
Example #2: Playing golf does NOT classify you as athletic. Just because you are an athlete does not imply an athletic build.
Example #3: Short and petite are two entirely different concepts. LEARN THE FRIGGIN' DIFFERENCE and save everyone the damn headache. | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 4:34:02 AM | yup yup yup been there myself.. a couple of times.... the FIRST thing you need to do.. is call him on it... point blank.... "you are NOT the guy in the pic you show, and i have no interest in communicating with someone who misrepresents himself.. sorry.. try being yourself next time..." just like that....
SECOND thing you need to do.. which i have learned the hard way... is, in this day and age, theres no reason why someone does not have more than 1 picture, or at least a cam.. between digital cameras, cell phones, pictures can be taken so quickly and easily, i dont accept 1 picture anymore... i need to see at LEAST 3 pictures, or see them on cam... i just dont trust a "1 picture" guy... OR the guy who needs "my msn to send me his pictures cause he JUST CANT SEEM to download them here" ya OK.. i just fell off the turnip truck... I DONT THINK SO..
at the same time, i have heard many many women misrepresent themselves on line as well, for some reason they think that if you "fall in love with their personality on msn, they wont notice the extra 150 lbs when you meet".. its the same thing, and i dont blaim men for being upset when it happens to them...
sure personality is an important factor in any relationship, BUT physical attraction is a MUST, and trying to start a relationship based on a lie.... i just dont get the point...
thats my 2.5 cents

Posted: 6/18/2006 8:07:19 AM | Ok, so I have been on both sides of the coin. I have met men that have not looked as they have displayed or described themself, a HUGE turnoff, but then being realistic....I am probably not in person what they see in my pics. I agree, that having more then one picture is a MUST, no reason why there can't be. A major red flag should go up, if you meet the person and he/she isn't who they say or have posted themselves as.
I met a man, we went out....and all of sudden thought that he was a sex king and was trying to get in my pants in the front seat of his car! THEN.......after I told him thanks for the coffee, he starts calling my phone continuously wanting to know if I "miss him" and could he come over...NOT.
Delete, delete, delete......
Stay safe, be honest, get a WEBCAM!!!
There, I think we must be up to at least 3 cents worth now, lol | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 3:42:20 PM | Oh drama...I never got this far. BUT I did meet a guy on here that sent me three different pictures of him. Three completely different pictures, as in different people!!! The nerve...then I asked for a real picture, and was sent four pics of him that were of the real him. Nothing like the fakes I was sent.
The fact that they put up a fake front is just a hint that they are willing to lie to get what they want. Yea you may click like slipping tab A into slot A..but if they lied in this area what other lies are they telling and would tell in the future?
SO yea WEBCAM is a great idea and constantly trading pics with captions/dates is the way to go...then remember. You may click online/IM, but face to face can easily be different.I try not to have too much hope, key word try. | |

Posted: 6/18/2006 7:17:26 PM | I have had this with women there pics up there for over a year. always heavier and lot older looking sad its like the last pic was the only good glamor shot taken years back and it just happens to be the only one they have. I myself up date my pic on a regular basis when you see my pic it and all of them are dated what you see is what you get cause you are right the truth would come out so why lie lets save us both time. If someone likes my pic they look at the date and see what they get. If it get a month or more and I think of it I update it If I meet someone I would take one right then and there and send it to them I have nothing to hide you like me or you don't. So yes this pisses me off when women say a few xtra pounds they really mean a few hundred xtra pounds. I also love this one. Oh my friends say I am pretty. fun to be with, life of the party. My answer to that is Lady when is the last time you friends or so called friends were honest with you cause you are now a fat old ugly ****. Oh yea they say you are cute well when is the last time you looked in the mirrior or are they all broken. I may be and ***hole but I am proud to be one. That lie to people. Mike   | |

Posted: 6/19/2006 6:22:38 PM | Would you believe I haven't had this happen. Everybody I've met online has more or less looked like their pic.
Now back in the days of personal ads (boy I'm OLD) I talked with one lady who sounded nice and we agreed to meet. Sorry, but I wasn't prepared for somebody who outweighed me by 100lbs or so. I felt really bad and it showed. I called her the next day and left a message but thankfully she didn't return it. That was my first lesson in "you don't HAVE to call back or go out again just because you feel sorry for the person."
In profiles at other sites I used to say something like "you don't need to be a swimsuit model, just be younger and weigh less than me, and both are easy" but I don't even say that anymore because you just never know who's going to turn out to be really hot in person. | |

Posted: 6/20/2006 12:29:41 AM | | I found a lot of people hide themselves behind someones elses pictures to make them look more decent.....who would know right. But to do so on a dating site, and to go and meet these people.......Iunno how far they expect to get away with that. Obviously they cant own up to being themselves and need a lie to cover up to say a hello on the net. | |

Posted: 6/20/2006 1:26:14 PM | | I'm sorry to hear that a person does not feel good in there own skin to try to pass off as some one else what to do ot is the truth that we all should be looking for I my self am comfortable in my own skin and very knowledgable to see through people some times we need visionn phone because a phone call could always hide one from showing there ture self truth is what we all need to put out fist because to hurt some one to hurt another persons feelings is not fair and enough people have been huirt enough so be true and don't lie it is not a good thing | |

Posted: 6/20/2006 2:57:07 PM | LMAO stone.
Most guys I meet do not look like their pics. They usually use older pics of when they were younger or the one in a million pic that makes them look more attractive than they are. Then they always ask me if they look like their pic! They are amazed that I actually look the exact same as mine... why should that be surprising? How many people on here don't look like their picture? | |

Posted: 9/26/2006 9:11:06 PM |  not sure why people want to misrepresent themselves with outdated pics, or pics of others., Nothing wrong with looking our best for a pic, but how can you expect to fool someone. Can imagine a lady going out with visions of Tom Selleck, and meeting Mickey Rooney....  | |

Posted: 9/26/2006 9:26:33 PM | Wow what an incredibly informative thread. Now I know I can mark my calendar for July 15th each year for what will now become officially known as:
"The Day Someone First Came Up with the Notion of Posting a Fake Picture on an Internet Dating Site Day".
We can celebrate this new holiday (assuming its attached to some bill Congress does want passed, like more sin taxes) in a vein similar to Halloween without all the Fancy expensive costumes (Women you can still use this date as an excuse to wear a slutty costume you would never consider wearing normally -just like Halloween  ).
Quite simple really:
1)Just nab a picture off your next door neighbor's mantle.
2) head down to the nearest Kinkos', blow it up to Mask size
3) Cut, and staple said picture to your forehead (okay maybe use scotch tape instead)
4) Arrange to go meet someone you know for coffee.
5) Hilarious Laughter Ensues!
Seriously though folks, we need to give this much consideration. We don't want our children to ever be subjected to the horrors of the humble OP of this thread. Remember this Date my friends or condemn your children and future generations to the hell witnessed here for the first time ever, on this very Dating Site, on July 15th 2005. A day that will live forever in infamy. Oh the Humanity!
Have fun ;)! | |

Posted: 9/26/2006 9:46:28 PM | Well he obviously lied because when he does post his real pic on here he gets no love from the ladies. He must have convinced himself that all woman are shallow and that if a woman got to know him she would fall in love with him regardless of his looks. He's living in a fantasy world. You should have got up from the table and made a scene to shame him so that he never does this to another woman. Aren't all you woman in it together to screw over the fella's?
Just adding my 4 cents(adjusted for inflation) | |
