Posted: 9/25/2007 5:40:48 PM | my apologies floralily, i was not talking about everyone and quite frankly since i did my tracing, i haven't even looked at the list since then. i was however, talking about some of the people, in addition to the ones that were observed to be fake. for sure, the ones i traced from my profile were exactly as stated. it all started when i was annoyed to see this almost nude woman rating me and therefore becoming a part of my profile. thank goodness, she has evolved off my profile! apparently others i email, had "experienced" her as well.
as for the favorite list, i can only speak for my experience and that of other pof women i have spoken to about this. i am sure the men have their version. in particular, you have a man coming on with a zero favorite list who then emails numerous women with the same "come on" and within days, he gets bites from the more naive and suddenly has favorites galore. this is particularly true in targeting the older women. the more vulnerable ones fall for it. i typically will block these people or erase from the list.
there was another post on this where i also shared this observation and was told by others that it took me long enough to figure it out! | |

Posted: 9/26/2007 7:31:41 AM | The ratings mean nothing, folks...sometimes I go through pics and give everyone a 10 just for being gutsy enough to put their picture out there and be judged. If it brightens someone's day then GREAT.
I would imagine that just as I attempt to spread a little sunshine from time to time, (when I'm REALLY bored) there are people who like to spread their own misery too, and go around giving everyone a 1!
That's why the ratings mean nothing. They are based on the whim of any given person at any given moment in time. I'll never make the top 500 with my crappy pics and don't care, it's just all fun and games, folks...don't take it too seriously. | |

Me neither.
Perhaps lack of interest on my behalf, most likely.
Anyone who has fake pics and feels better about if when their rating is high obviously doesn't have all of their marbles. | |

Posted: 9/26/2007 9:24:48 AM | There was a time a couple of years back where I caught one of these myself... it wasn't a model photo, just an "everyday" photo of a rather attractive redhead.
Based on the web sites I found this photo on, this girl was living in Canada, New Jersey, and Chicago (and possibly elsewhere that I didn't catch). At the same time. Under different names.
On another "freebie" site similar to this I at least was able to give a few guys that had faved the scammer there that the person they're chatting with ain't gonna look like that  | |

Posted: 9/26/2007 11:40:08 AM | | Stargaze, that pic was probably nothing but a "dummy" profile, unless you actually had contact with her. Pay sites are notorious for putting up dummy profiles to get people to pay to be able to contact them. The big Y is currently being named in a class action lawsuit for this, I got an email about it the other day. | |

Nah, wasn't that professional of a photo. Actually in this case I saw it once on a dating site (chicago), again on a "geocities" type personal web page along with several other snapshots of the same girl (possibly actually belonging to the real girl, but who knows... new jersey), and some time earlier it had been sent to me over a chat channel by a girl claiming it was a photo of herself (canada). | |

Posted: 9/26/2007 12:29:06 PM | | Sorry, but I can't help smiling at all this ooh and ahhh about fake pictures! Only society to blame for that! I think there's actually one commercial going at the moment that point out how many different faces "beauty" has. Wise man and Wise ladies look further than the pic and typed words...you might even find a gem by doing that! | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 2:26:21 PM | I don't know much about the rating game, nor do I really care. But for someone to present themselves as one person and to show up as someone else is really frightening. I recently had been IMing with someone that I met here and he emailed me a picture of himself. The picture was of an Italian guy (looking a lot like Geraldo Rivera) so I say ok, lets chat for a while. We chatted for about a month.. he kept wanting to meet for coffee late at night. One night I persuaded him to call me and he had a HEAVY Japanese accent. He said that his Father was Italian and mother was Japanese and he was raised in Japan. Ok. Fine. Still open to the idea because I speak a little Japanese and I find Asian guys attractive. So the next time he IM's me I agree to meet even if it is late... There is a Starbucks around the corner...
I went early and sat in my car in the parking lot for 1/2 hour. People were coming out because they were closing. Finally a guy walks out looking EXTREMELY Japanese. Nothing like the picture. He IM's me when he got home and said I stood him up. I told him no, he stood me up. Nobody came out of Starbucks but a older Asian man. He said that was me! He looked nothing like the picture he sent me.
Now here is my question, why did he email that picture of an unknown Italian guy that was very obviously not him? Did he have a problem attracting women being that he was Japanese? I didn't think so, so now I wonder if he had an alternative idea than dating or worse... Maybe I am making a mountain out of a molehill, but it really frightened me.
The picture was very obviously not him. | |

Posted: 11/25/2007 10:18:30 PM | Glamour Shots does it real. Who would go out of their way to put up a pic of themselves that look as though they have just awakened from a night out on the town with a real hangover and being dragged down the street on the back of a dump truck?
I have often heard men state that women who wear makeup, toupees, wigs, weaves, padded bras and girdles were fakes! Same with the many cosmetic surgeries and porcelain overlayed teeth. We do this as an enhancement and to be attractive and appealing to others and to just feel good about ourselves. There is nothing wrong with having a little pride in oneself by cleaning up a little bit (airbrushed, Photoshop, etc) and presenting with some class?
However fake pics are a no-no, just like no pics are a no show. | |

Posted: 1/31/2008 7:27:04 AM | Befor i vote on a profile picture, i read the profile, and that's how i vote, and yes, i can spot the fake photo's, for me...it's not the picture, it's the person, i know some beautiful women i wouldn't trust with a broken heart...i read one in here about men passing themself off as a woman, I made a date with one of them, oh yeah, he didn't post a picture, he said all the right thing's, for a woman to say, so i thought i was making a date with a woman, i was to meet (HER) at Risky's Bar-B-Q in Old CowTown, Ft.Worth, Texas, i got there early so i could get a Boot Shine before (SHE) got there, (IT) knew what i looked like, i look like my picture, and (IT) came up to me, the man shining my boot's, slapped me on the toe, and said get the F**k out here, i got away, and laughed it off, so yes, a real picture is important... | |

Posted: 1/31/2008 7:37:12 AM | | I have no problem with someone presenting themselves as well as they can ,but photoshop and those glamor shots go too far.I would much rather see casual photos of someone without all the fake stuff.I have seen glamor shots.They all look like they have taken the picture through frosted glass.There is nothing real about that. | |

lol......
I like this site the way it is.
Look at it this way , for people who are really looking to meet a potential partner , these freedoms allows one to "possibly" decipher thoes who will choose to be honest or not. That is if integrity is important to you .
I just cannot see the purpose of a fake pic other than wanting to deceive. | |
