| Fake Pictures Posted: 2/14/2006 4:07:27 AM | ^^^ever heard of rolling script?
Its a loop or short movie or video that just replays on the webcam over and over. Someone can play their script for 20-30 seconds, and wave or whatever and let you think your seeing them live and it isn't. Some cams have the option of playing short mpegs and avi files and the receiver is none the wiser. | |

| Fake Pictures Posted: 2/14/2006 6:29:20 AM | Msg 66, How do you know its different people? Maybe its the same person with different IDs.
Lets see why do people fake pics...hmmm.. Lets see people criticize constantly and then wonder why people lie about stuff... hmm.. maybe its to avoid being criticized? Ya know... tell em what they wanna hear so they'll leave ya be about it? Who comes on here to get criticized? You can get that in real life. | |

|
| Fake Pictures Posted: 2/14/2006 9:11:37 AM | Just sent this message to someone...
I have a serious pet peeve with fakes. Considering how many pics you have, that don't even look like the same person in the slightest(BIG RED FLAG ON THESE SITES)...looks very shady. Just wondering what else you would be so misleading about, but don't want to really find out. | |
|
| Fake Pictures Posted: 2/15/2006 6:42:09 AM | | I thought about trying some fake pictures. Would you women rather get messages from a pretend George Clooney, Johnny Depp, or maybe a famous recording artist? I could go for a pretend Shania Twain or Scarlett Johannsen, even though in reality they are probably too young for me, but then, we aren't talking reality, are we? | |

| Fake Pictures Posted: 2/15/2006 11:35:21 AM | Don't forget those famous words.
On the internet, every one is a dog. Internet persona's have nothing to do with the real life person.

Thats true. You can be less guarded and do and say whatever the heck you please here and if someone bugs ya on here, you just block em. IRL you gotta deal with your idiots. Its alot easier here. | |

| Fake Pictures Posted: 2/15/2006 1:30:00 PM | | nooo!there's fake pictures floating around this site!really? | |
|

| Fake Pictures Posted: 2/16/2006 6:08:46 AM | | The things we learn about technology today boggle the mind! Never heard of the rolling script...wow! Thanks for the IN! I've been on dating sites for about a year and have come across quite a few fake pics, fake ages, fake marital status. It's like trying to find a peach in a pumpkin-patch....You're looking for something soft and juicy but find yourself surrounded by hard and seedy! LOL! | |

| Fake Pictures Posted: 2/25/2006 5:50:55 AM | | people fake pictures because other users kept harrassing them to post one even though they aren't here to find a date, but wanted to maintain their anonymity. So posting one got them off their backs. | |
|
| Fake Pictures Posted: 3/11/2006 11:06:47 AM | I'd say if you can then get them on cam, not for any dirty stuff but so that you can check that they are real and see what they really look like.
Beleive me I've had a lot of problems with fake pictures in the past so im extra cautious and block people without pics! It's nothing personal I just think on a dating site u shuold have a pic. | |
|
| Fake Pictures Posted: 3/11/2006 4:03:09 PM | Somehow women on this site are convinced my picture is fake. Come on ladies...  | |
|
| Fake Pictures Posted: 3/11/2006 4:12:07 PM | The funniest fake picture I have seen here is actually a mannequin, with several different hats on it. I did a search for mannequins, and found the company that sells that particular model. Why a woman (or maybe its not a woman) would do that is way beyond me. | |
|
| Fake Pictures Posted: 3/11/2006 6:32:49 PM | | ^^how is that fake? Were they implying they are a manequin? | |

| Fake Pictures Posted: 3/12/2006 6:00:57 PM | Fake Pictures Posted: 2/13/2006 1  05 PM Turning on the webcam for 30 seconds eliminates any fake bullshyt. And they start out at $20. No excuse for meeting anyone that you haven't previewed. young_55-Joined: 1/15/2006 Msg: 101 Fake Pictures Posted: 2/14/2006 6:07:27 AM ^^^ever heard of rolling script?

That's why I would ask them to do something unexpected on cam...like show me a pet or finger themselves lol...but seriously I would think of something to have them do.. | |

| Fake Pictures Posted: 4/2/2006 4:42:56 AM | | If your never never gonna meet the person does it even matter? I mean really? | |

| Fake Pictures Posted: 4/2/2006 5:50:39 AM | Fake pics and no pics often are due to low self esteem. But there are some people who access these sites for research. Then you have the ones that are dating anyone and everyone looking for that good time thing. When you run across that and you suspect it is happening, end it. It will only get worse and apparently someone being so deceptive has several issues not worth wasting time over.
There are some who say they don't post pics due to their job. That's fine, but they can send you one privately. Some of these people are the criminal type too so we all have to be wary of that. Anyone who thinks they can fake out someone with false representations and then be accepted upon visually meeting is not worth wasting time with. To me doing that is an expression of their penchant for dishonesty. | |

| Fake Pictures Posted: 4/2/2006 7:21:33 AM | This is a fun topic. I dated a guy once whose profile said he was 5'9". I'm 5'8" and when I met him he was absolutely no more than 5'5" if even that. Did he think I just "wouldn't notice"? When someone arranges the first date under dishonest terms....for me, you might as well just not show up because you won't be getting a second date anyway. I've also seen another guy on here who I dated about three years ago and he was 39....somehow, he is still 39 today on his profile. It's just LOL funny. Those who said it, you are right that it's really difficult to know someone from a profile, and I agree with that in principle that you really don't know until you meet, etc., but let's have a little honesty on the obvious stuff, people.  | |

| Fake Pictures Posted: 4/2/2006 7:30:44 AM | | And ur surprised about fake pics??? Why - my God girl don't be so silly! | |
|
| Fake Pictures Posted: 4/2/2006 7:35:43 AM | I find that this problem is very much in the personals.I agree If one does not show a real recent photo, what is the point?.You can never get to meeting that special person your trying to find. I post several photos both recent, and some from past recents trips abroad..I some times think maybe I post too many and might look like a show off. The reason is so people can see , by the change in my clothes and scenery I am who I say I am:) Have Great Weekend! | |

| Fake Pictures Posted: 4/2/2006 8:24:22 AM | | I prefer to READ what is on their minds and not look at a pic of someone that is supposed to be 48 but looks 30?..I put a pic up on a paid site and ended up with a stalker ..pastes my face on a naked porn shot and sends them to me and other sites..so I chose to keep this from happening again..if and when someone is interested..a meeting will be preferred and that way there is no surprises..but then again..not really looking..the forums are interesting.. | |

| Fake Pictures Posted: 4/2/2006 8:36:59 AM | | Recently started receiving messages from some guy. Initial pic didn't even remotely resemble any of the others. And HE got mad at ME because I said, "Since your two pics have no resemblance to each other what so ever, I wouldn't have a clue who to look for." Delete, Block. | |
|
| Fake Pictures Posted: 4/3/2006 7:37:30 AM | | I suggest in the future that you ask to see them in realtime on their webcam and if they're too cheap to have one,then maybe you should move on. | |
