I would say with guys its easier to tell if they look similar from just head shots.

I know that with girls its a bit harder especially since all of them are myspace pics

I think I look like my picture. So far my two POF dates told me I look like my picture.

Shoot, with the snow on my roof, my mother keeps telling me to color my hair, shave my mustache and I'd look 10 years younger. Now there's deception!

With that said I think I look like my pics. My ex of 4.5 months I met from FTJ and she thought I looked exactly the same.

Every man I have ever met in person tells me my photos don't do me justice. That I'm so much more beautiful in person than in my pictures. I just can't seem to find pictures that capture the real me I don't guess.

I've met people who look better than their pictures and some that were not as handsome. But really, looks are not the most important factor - and not what I look for when searching for someone to spend time with.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd say yes. I've seen some of the people from Copperas Cove in person, and yes. They did look like thier pics. I recognized them because of POF/

I'm always told one of two things....

I either look EXACTLY like my pictures....

Or I'm better looking in person.....

I'm not complaining about either.....

I've never had anyone say I don't look like I do in my pics, and a few say I look better than my pics

I look most like my most recent one (the valentines day 2009 pic).

S0metimes I am more or less tan, or my hair might be styled differently, but that's me! (I just got braces last week so my next pic will show my tin grin. lol)

Well I would love to break your streak, say when and where and you can see for yourself :-)
Perhaps some folks are insecure in the way they look? I don't know but it must be awkward for them as they are driving to meet you.

Glad you think so.

What I was trying to communicate was that it must be awful awkward for someone who posted an old pic as they are driving out to meet someone they are interested in? What would you say to her lol........

Now that I think about it I change my mind, not awkward just plain old stupid.

I was just trying to help a lady out, reassure her that not all guys are deceptive.

Cheers

I've meet 4 people from POF in last 4 years. All four said I looked better in person. So I figure I must take bad pictures. But I'd prefer to look better than worse.
Out of those 4 none of them looked that much like their picture. 2 looked better and 2 didn't look as good. I just feel some folks take good pictures and others don't. Kind of makes you wonder if that person you passed up due to a picture didn't actually look nice in person.

Doesn't really matter, long as you're still attractive, right? :)

Providing multiple photos with different facial expressions is the best way to give someone an idea of what you look like.

Agree with you SomethingRare I have had similar comments/results. Hey I post current pics, most are not the best but hey if someone passes me up due to photography they probably aren't what I am looking for anyway.

So far, the ladies that I have met, only one time did it not results in more dates and that was by mutual agreement, distance was just too great and the "spark" just didn't develop.

I totally agree. All but one that I have met on here look nothing like their pics. I hate that...mention it in my profile. I have very recent pics also, even the not so good ones.
It's the least people can do. What...do they think that once you see them you will forget what their profile pic looked like? lol I totally agree.

I'm not very photogenic. People I meet say I'm prettier in person. I really don't know.

So far most people I have met look like their pictures. Many look better than their pictures. I met one fellow who looked nothing like his picture. I felt lied to. No one has said I don't look like my pictures. And on the subject of pictures, I look at the face, does the smile reach his eyes? Just like in person, I look to see if the person looking at me is the real thing.

I've met a few people from POF who like their pictures, because their pictures are current. My pictures are current, unlike some members of this site who post 10 year old pictures or pictures of someone else on their profile.
