So where are all the people that DON'T look like their pictures?

You know... the ones we meet on 4 out of 5 dates?

According to this thread, everyone on this site looks just like or BETTER than their pictures!

I have met half a dozen people over the net in the past few years and each and all of them said "you look just like your photos". At first I wondered why anyone would bring this up, to my mindset I was thinking, [ well doesnt everyone??] OF course that was then and I was a little niave on the internet dating thing....now after reading so many POF forums and meeting someone once who did not look like their photo, I get it !! But yes, I have been told by everyone I've met that I do.

as if anyone who was putting up deceptive photos is gonna come clean in a public forum on the very site they are trying to pass off those photos on

[ ok I am now waiting for THAT to be proven wrong......]

Exactly, which is why this thread is a little on the pointless side.

@CRYSTAL
lol ya know its funny but posting fake pics isn't again't the POF rules unless its got a clear copywrite on it. So admitting it when you aren't planning on meeting anyone from here anyway wouldn't really do anything to the user. At worse they'd get ridiculed online (big whoop) and either:

-lay low for awhile and then post a new picture, or
-delete current profile ID and create a new one and no one would be the wiser

And those are only assuming the confessor was concerned enough. But your right, if someone's going to the trouble of faking, they aren't going to admit it just because someone asked "are those pics real?" Of course the faker is simply going to tell you what you want to hear.

c1angel - yep know what you are talking about

no fake pictures are not against the rules on anysite and besides, how could you test for that anyway if you are administrating a website...and so it becomes one of the 'things to look out for' Amongst others ...

Yep, the face pic I have up is pretty much dead on. Being that it's my face and all and it was taken like two weeks ago... Mmhmmm.

What's the deal with pics anyway? Do some people put pics up from ten years ago when they were fifty pounds thinner and not bald?

Yeah if they are going on a date or planning on it, then putting up some youthful picture of what they used to look like is kinda redundant. These people having an aging phobia and haven't come to grips with it.

Well Mojo, I have been told that I don't look like my middle picture, but it was taken after a night of drinking. In the bigger picture I am leaning on my sister. I like your pictures and would be interested in exploring some of those positions.

Unfortunately I look JUST like my pictures..

scary and mean..

the only complaint I've gotten from a guy .. was that I wasn't "Big".. he thought that I would be much bigger then I am..

I think he saw my before my weight loss picture and assumed it was me although I explained that that was an old photo.

but yea.. I look exactly like my photo..

As long as they are current and not from like 10 years ago then of course the pics should look like you...I hate it when people post old pics of themselves...
