| Meeting with someone who looks nothing like picture
Posted: 3/27/2005 8:00:37 PM | Cinder23-- Thanks for clearing my bullet-riddled name. I was almost getting enough credibility to have people actually reading my entire post before they went off on me.
Oh, and for the record. I am partial to women with child-bearing hips. Not into twiggy-types and certainly wouldn't want someone much fitter than me... My comment about the size zero waisted woman was a point I was making about how I felt uneasy with her model looks and twiggy-type figure. Markawelch will confirm this, I hope.... | |

He's telling the truth. We had a short discussion about it.
Steve's a regular guy and I think his real aim here has been to tweak people's noses and to play the devil's advocate.
However, that's just a guess.
I know that I've been guilty of it on more than one thread. | |

another thing, try to avoid the people with Glamour Shots, or at least get a more 'Everyday' photo of someone.
YES, YES and YES!!!!
Was a victim of that tonight.. she looked great in posed shots... man, I had no idea that photographers can hide 50 lbs! Didn't even resemble her pics. What a waste of time. | |

Posted: 2/3/2009 4:37:48 AM | Well it seems that we're finally back on topic. I met a guy from POF whose picture was so darn appealing, I couldn't wait to meet him. Had he not advised that he would be in uniform, I would not have know who he was. Its' not that he was unattractive, its' just that he looked like a completely different person to the point that facial hair should not make that big a difference. He didn't seem to be someone who would post someone else's picture. I am still shaking my head trying to figure that out. We had our coffee, and there was no chemistry for me, but I think that had a lot to do with what felt like deceit. Total deal breaker. I emailed him that evening and recommended that he change his picture because he looked nothing like it. I still can't believe he did that purposely. Didn't seem like the type.  | |

Posted: 2/7/2009 7:39:37 AM | I had this experience once, whereby I met a woman on here who was what some would call a 'stunner'. Blonde, blue eyes, legs up to her neck... I couldn't believe my luck! We arranged to meet up at a concert one weekend. I arrived and called her' mobile. She answered and gave me her' location. So... I'm walking around in the general area that she had given, thinking "OMG, the crowds!"... then all of a sudden I felt this tap on my back. I turned around and looked at the person... "Do we know each other?" and it then hit me. I was trying to look at her and figure out what resemblance there was to the picture. Nothing! Fat, short, bad teeth, a quadruple chin. The first thing I said to her after that was, "Where's the nearest off-licence?" Suffice to say, I bought about 6 bottles of pear cider and downed 5!! I gave the 6th to the taxi driver on the way back home because he was having a bad day!
How can we learn from such mistakes? Looooooooool! | |

Posted: 2/7/2009 1:45:30 PM | Happens to me a lot, but mostly though a webcam. I don't usually try to spend a lot of time getting to know people online, so I jump to the webcam thing pretty soon since this is year 2009 and they only cost $20.00-$30.00. Probably out of the 20 or so girls/women I've talked to, maybe only 25% of them actually resembled their picture. Even less have resembled their personality and have true interest in the things they claim to have interest in which is sometimes why I even bother responding to them in the first place. This is why advertisement style profiles are pointless.
People are getting pretty damn crafty about the use of angles. Some just use pictures that are several years old. If only I could mention user names... Even worse, some women have turned out to be guys. (Yet, are still on here.) | |

| Another point of view.....
Posted: 2/10/2009 5:54:08 PM | I prize honesty and integrity above all else and make this very clear in my profile. If I were to meet someone face to face that completely lied about their appearance (or anything else), the date would end right there.
If someone is going to try to build a relationship on a foundation of deceit, that relationship is doomed to failure from the start. Why bother wasting time waiting for the inevitable? | |

Posted: 2/14/2009 10:52:03 AM | YEP... many times... I personally have never understood why anyone would think this would work but....Most people just arent honest.... I always tell men I am not a slim model type woman... I know I am large and work my ass off to get it down but most people just assume I sit on my ass eating and that simply is not true... i do understand that most men want slimmer women and thats fine ... I am cool with being friends with them I dont have to date them... sometimes when we put those blocks up like that we are limiting ourself and the potential for something great.... Honesty is always the best policy regardless....
I often wonder why guys put pics of their house car vehicles and boats atv's ect in the profile... yet get pissed when the gold diggers come out to play.... all anyone needs is pics of themselves not their families, children or their homes and assets... this is just asking for trouble.. the pic does need to be within a years time but no later so what you looked like in high school does not apply now unless you graduated in the last year LOL | |

Posted: 2/15/2009 1:16:14 AM | Yes, that has happened to me, so I make it clear that the solicitor send me full body shots "and" head shots. If I meet someone who has still misled me then I call them on it with as much disrespect as they have shown me and I walk away.
I think it is hilarous and disgusting at the same time how men can put athletic on their profile when they look like they are 6 months pregnant. It is disrespectful to waste someone's time like that, especially when you have stressed certain criteria. However, most men like that don't contact me after I insult them :) Oh, and for those who do lie it is to their detriment because they are the ones left scorned and alone. Honesty and sincerity is the only way to go. | |

Posted: 2/15/2009 12:50:05 PM | | Every guy I've met has looked like their pics, but sometimes they look a lil worse and sometimes they look better. Some people just dont take great pics and I understand that, but as long as I know that is really them in the pic and its a atleast within a year or so then I dont call it misleading.... Either way I just finish the date and see about the personality..... | |

Posted: 2/15/2009 12:53:02 PM | | I actually had a man come all the way from Australia to meet me and his pic looked absolutely nothing at all like him. If it was him the pic was at least 15 yrs. old. He came and stayed in a hotel near me for about 6 weeks. I was nice enough to him and told him places to go visit but, no connection because of that initial lie. It was so ridiculous. He spent over 15,000. on a trip to meet someone that he had lied to with his picture. | |
