| Meeting with someone who looks nothing like picture
Posted: 3/15/2005 10:19:14 PM | I have had two bad experiences meeting guys on the net.
The first one posted a pic and claimed he was in his early 40's. We talked a number of times and then agreed to meet. Well if he wasn't 25 years older than his pic. Me being the nice gal had a coffee with him anyways, but I did ask why he lied about his age and post a much younger version of himself...all he said was you don't look like your pic lol....I never lied about my age and my pic was very recent. This was in the first five minutes of coffee and all of a sudden he went to grab my breasts. I jumped up said a few nasty words and left.
The next guy I met did not look anything like his pic. Same age, but I still don't believe it was him in the pic. I called him on it but he insisted it was him...ya right. From a very nice clean shaven man to a man with rottin teeth and one hanging right out of his mouth onto his chin...wowwww. Again of course I had to be nice after all he just travelled a long distance by bus. Within an hour he was demanding to meet my kids, and telling me how things were going to be. Basically told him to back off and that no one tells me how it's goinig to be. Well I left that night and told him later in an email that there was no chemistry. The next day he had his real photo up on the net and emailed me a couple weeks later telling me that he can't stop thinking about me. Haven't heard from him since, but it's only been a couple weeks. There's still that possibility he will try again. | |

Posted: 3/15/2005 10:58:41 PM | | Hi all! I have had this happen to me several times. Guys whose pics are 10 years old. Some have been 25-50 lbs more than stated. Just last week I met up with a guy who, while he was similar to his posted pic (one of him sans shirt and had to be an older pic)), he now has a bulging belly and somehow shrunk from the stated 5'11 to 5'7. Etc, etc, etc. One guy said he was 52 and I swear he had to be at least 62. I should have known better than agree to meet that one (he should be under "The Date From Hell" post but that is another story!) as I tend to go for guys somewhat younger than me. LOL....I could go on and on. I don't understand why people do that.....I mean when you meet up it's going to obvious they lied....WTF? I don't get it. While it's true that what's most important is what's "inside" I hate the fact of them lying. if they'll lie about something as stupid as their height than what about the important stuff? Total turn off for me. Sigh.....I'm about ready to give up myself. | |

Silken,
Believe me, variations are understandable and acceptable. The problem is when the goods are just nothing like advertised. Also, you at least mention to people that you may look a little different that your picture.
Hmm.... now you've gotten me curious. What do you look like under the veil?
Mark, I do have pics without the veil but I keep them to send with messages. ;)

Posted: 3/16/2005 4:42:54 PM | OMG. THIS IS SOO FUNNY. This guy JUST CONTACTED ME (I'm tempted to let all u ladies know his profile, but I don't want to get spanked) anyway, he DIDN'T have a pic on his profile, I asked why (many times) .. and so finally he put up 'his picture'. SOOO FUNNY!! He told me it's distorted because of various sizing issues btwn his PC and POF. OMG. Like I'm THAT dumb?!?! BAH!!
HE STUCK HIS HEAD ON THE GOVERNATOR'S BODY!! | |

Posted: 3/16/2005 6:22:10 PM | | It's happened to me. I didn't even recognize the man. He was at least 100 pounds heavier then his picture. He said he had a gut. It turned out to be a 58 inch waist. He thining hair was really baldness. His picture was at least 10 yrs old but because he was in a police uniform you couldn't really tell. The uniforms don't change that much. He sure as hell did. I'm not easily shocked. I was completely caught off guard. I was furious at the deception. I somehow managed to keep my composure. Don't ask me how I was able to. When he knocked at the door I thought the man standing there was lost. He had knocked at the wrong door. The only giveway was his voice. I wanted to run for the hills. Why do people lie especially when they plan on meeting someone in person. There was also another man who looked very different then his pic. He asked me if he looked like his picture. I told him he looked different. He wanted to know if he looked better or worse. In this case worse. :) I stuck to my story and said he looked different. | |

Posted: 3/17/2005 6:01:58 AM | | What a nightmare !!! You poor thing. I can definitely relate. Was this guy totally clueless or what. He was in denial about your potential relationship. He needs to learn manners first and get his teeth whitened. Your a brave soul. He's lucky you were so polite and didn't kick his behind instead. :) Then again why take the chance of ruining a pair of boots. LOL | |

Posted: 3/17/2005 8:19:02 AM | | yes i have been burned 4 times, and we wil lsee if it is going to happen for a 5th time this weekend. The ladies i have met have TOTALLY misrepresented their weight, it sucks when you see a picture and you think it is up to date and it turns out to be when they were in highschool 10-15 years ago. | |

Posted: 3/17/2005 2:38:06 PM | | What a nigthmare. Your story is almost as bad as Hairdo41. I felt sorry for her but at the same time I almost pissed my pants laughing when I read her story. The story itself is funny and the manner in which she tells it is hiliarious. I had a similar experience also. I guess your guy had a condition called «rapid growth syndrome» He thought he would grow a few inches before he met you in person. What a jerk !!!! | |

Posted: 3/17/2005 5:04:20 PM | Seems to be the trend on the personals, people lying about their age, weight, looks, married, etc. I've pretty much given up on these sites searching for the right one. Too much deceit going on. And butt ugly guys who have rotten teeth hangin out of their mouths  I swear I almost threw up. But I do like these forums so will stick around the forums  | |

Posted: 3/18/2005 4:47:40 PM | | Lets face it.. Its part of internet dating. It doesn’t make it right but, it can happen. That’s why I put very little into their pictures (even if they don’t have one). Get out there, have fun and just see what happens. Dates are a lot like job interviews. Each one is good practice for the next. (I hope that last sentence is not taken the wrong way) In any case, proper filtering should weed some of these people out. | |

Posted: 3/18/2005 5:10:38 PM | | So far I have met 4 people that look nothing like there picture and one ended up being an ex-con convicted of attempted murder, so yes, had some issues there. But the second guy was actually hotter and way cooler than his picture....so I guess it evens out in a way. | |

Posted: 3/19/2005 1:07:39 AM | You realize what's next. Some tech guy will invent a holographic costume that you can wear for a date.
Then instead of griping about people's true looks when you first meet, it'll go to when you first sleep with them. They'll shuck the costume and voile', the 25 year-old supermodel, becomes a 60 year-old chubby hausfrau. | |

Posted: 3/19/2005 5:39:26 AM | Okay, one of the most astounding common threads I have found within all these stories is that y'all still go through with the date! You meet the deceiver and due to your being humane you continue through with things. This may be why this continues to go on, because at the very least these liars are getting dates and learning that if they mis-portray themselves then just show up, that most people will still go through with the date. Thus, rewarding this type of deception. If this happend to me, and I saw a SIGNIFICANT difference in age and looks, I would simply say I made plans to go out with someone completely different than the person standing before me, I do not appreciate your spun Lies, and CIAO~
A few months ago, I was talking to a gentleman who persisted on and on about how much he wanted to meet me, and when...I was weary about the situation THANKFULLY because I came across another profile on here with the same picture....only this person had a slew of pictures leading me to believe that the man I was talking to was a phoney. So, I then approached him about it, and he simply signed off, I then went back to loook at his profile and the picture was gone. His age changed from 28 to 49, from having hair to being bald, from 6'0 to 5'6, from having no children to having children etc. I could not believe it, esspecially since this man wanted to meet me! lol, uhhh I think I would have figured it out then! If you talk to someone long enough, you eventually catch onto them. I once was contacted by a beautiful man who was soo sweet and I told him POINT BLANK... I do not think this picture is you, it looks fake, but I really like your personality and I want you to tell me right now if that is not you...I told him I would not penalize him for it...BUT he persisted it was even though I gave him an out if it wasnt. After talking to him several times I forget how...but I found out it was not him. He then put his real pictures on his account and HE WAS STILL ADORABLE and the pics def looked more real and he was cute, I dont know why he would have used a fake pic at all....but because he decieved me I had no trust in him, and told him he was a nice guy and that I did not know why he hid behind that fake pic when he was a beautiful boy...but that I could not longer talk to him because of the trust thing. Sooo that was that...fast forward to this past week, he contacts me, asking if we could be friends, and if he could start over and tell me about himself, so I sent back saying, okay tell me about yourself ( in the back of my head I was thnking I already knew his background from out previous talks)
He sends back telling me where he grew up and how great his parents are and where they live......I freaked out, because he told me before his parents were BOTH DEAD, they died in an accident when he was a boy.... SO basically everything was a big ol LIE! | |
