Posted: 12/31/2008 1:57:19 PM | Okay, I think I'm a pretty decent guy, grounded, good looking, fit, sense of style, etc., and have met a few women from this site. Now here's the deal...why do woman create stories about who they are or what they're into...or post 10 year old pictures? Isn't it a waste of everyone's time?
I would imagine there are some men who are guilty of posting old pics (when they had hair, before gut, etc.) so shame on the dudes who have wasted some of the time of beautiful women...but c'mon...be honest people.
I would love to hear some horror stories from others so I don't feel so bad.
Share your stories...let's have some laughs!

I did not know what to say because this man was 20 years older, 50 pounds heavier and had much less hair than his photos. I just said thank you and politely chatted through coffee and left............when he contacted me a second time I just told him I did not think we were a match. I want the truth from the beginning. | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 11:08:04 AM | Boy I think you hit the nail on the head!! I can count way to many times I went to meet some gal for the first time and she was not the gal she showed me a pic of or it was a very old picture!
My las bad one went like this:
we talked on here for about2-3 weeks and she had some pictures on here and she looked to be fit and very cute. One weekend we agreed to meet and just see what happens once we meet. So then I had to drive to her for some reason and I went ahead, got ready and drove to go meet her. We were meeting in a resturaunt and I got there and when in, sat down and waited. Well not long went by and here come some gal and asked if it was me Bryan. With a mystified look I said yes that was who I was and then she gold me she was Nikki. She looked absolutely nothin like her pictures at all!! She was easily 250-275 in person and in here pics she was thin and fit? So right away I confronted her on that, even in her profile it said she was Athletic. She then told me that the pictures were from about 8 years ago and she could not get new pics on there cause she had none! She tried to tell me she was only 160 now and I just told her sorry I could not do this and I felt a little betrayed being she lied to me in a bad way just to get me to come and meet her. Oh but it dont end there! No more than that started and a little girl pops up from behind her that was sitting at her table, She had brought her daughter along!!! I could not beleive this!! I just told her I had to go and I did not think it was a wise idea to go on with this. I got up and left and yes I was mad, but kept that to myself and was as polite as possible about it. I no more than get down the street and she was calling me telling me if I would just give her time that I would fall in love with her because of her personality and dedication. I tried to be kind in telling her that I would never be attracted to a woman that is overweight and that was just not me. I also mentioned the fact I was very unhappy about the fact she lied to me the way she had, of course she claimed she had not lied to me at all even though she claimed to be an athletic build and only about 160 lbs at 5-8? I was kinda baffled about how she could claim she was not lying? She went off the deep end and flipped out and called me every name in the book so I hung up. She texted me about 10 times, after the first I just quit reading them and just deleted them as they came in.
I could put more bad stories like this on here that are very similar, but I dont want to take up the whole page!
All I can say is you can see alot of interesting things in 8 years of being divorced! But some day I will meet the one I am sure. | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 12:27:03 PM | wow!! after putting my reply on here I seen there is a vote of whether to take this posting off or not? A posting like this must strike a nerve? I guess the truth hurts some being that there are alot on here that have done this and used old pics?
My only advice is if you have to use an old picture cause you are not happy and dont think you can attract a mate then do something about it! Dont lie about who you are! I will only do you harm!! | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 1:52:10 PM | I have to ring in here too. Time and time again, it's the old picture and not so accurate descriptions. Although I have noticed some women that actually put forth the effort into their descriptions and really describe who they are and what they are looking for. I applaud them!!! Too bad I can't get on to help me out, mine sucks!!! | |

Posted: 1/10/2009 12:18:49 AM |  I couldn't agree more with this posting. I mean after all if you intend on being for real and wanting to meet in person why would you lie? Doesn't make any sense but I do also agree that personality is not something that can be conveyed via pictures either, a person can be drop dead gorgeous and be either flaky or a complete head case.
Believe or not I've had my share of funny meet & greet or OMG!! moments with meeting people from online, the main thing is to learn and just again take it all with a light hearted attitude and not let it get you down. How does the saying go....Live and Learn from all your experiences.
Oh just a thought if your wanting to specifically do a thorough pre-screening and have your doubts I have found webcams don't lie  I wish everyone good luck in finding that one special person or finding many cool and fun friends to share their lives | |

Posted: 1/18/2009 6:33:36 AM | | Flip that around, I have pics ups that are less than a year old and my profile is very much to the point and it scares the shit out of men. I am not here to piddle around with men that are out for an evening of fun. I have had one or two that want to chat and it ends there. So I guess it goes both ways. There are those out there that say they want to find a decent person to be with and may be a decent person, but don't have the guts to act on it. I think I am just here now because I have friends here and it is a way of staying in touch with them. | |
