Posted: 12/20/2005 5:42:49 PM | I've noticed that some people have pictures in their profiles that seem kinda old..
I kinda think that it is very misleading to put old pictures in a profile.. Let's say that the pics show somebody 10 years ago and 50 lbs lighter.. Why would people do that? Shouldn't it be common sense to put current pics in the profile? None of my profile pics is older than 4 months.. | |

Posted: 12/20/2005 5:59:43 PM | | Welcome to internet dating my dear. Land of the theory "Well if I get them to love me for my mind it won't matter that I don't have teeth." Sorry but that's life in internet dating....you can't judge size by a photo, and you can't judge age/height. So..unless they are wearing a poison t-shirt with a mullet...it's pretty hard to tell if the pic is recent or not...mine are from Sept...when I joined. :) | |

Posted: 12/20/2005 6:15:30 PM | I've had several older military types send me photos of them looknig about 30ish in uniform. Then I look at their profile and they're 55. Wishful thinking on their part I guess.
That or they are working on time machines out of their station wagons and are showing you what they are going to look like when they take you back in time. | |

Posted: 12/20/2005 6:39:50 PM | Well, you caught me! I just don't have a current pic right now. I do weight 50 more pounds than my pic, but I still look the same, except for three chins, grayer hair, and this beautiful full figured body sticking out.
I'm so ashamed!
Actually, I tried to post a more current picture, and this system won't accept it. It's the truth! Honest!  | |

Posted: 12/20/2005 7:26:22 PM | | I've learned to look very, very closely at clothing and hair style ((various other things in the pics))... I learned the hard way by meeting a few people in person who had to tap me on the shoulder--otherwise, I never would have recognized them.... | |

Posted: 12/20/2005 7:26:30 PM | | Just seems like another excuss. You people would never be satisfied and that is why on line dating will probably fail. By the way I have all my teeth, all my hair, the photo does not even show my face clearly so what is decieveing about the 10 + year old photo except my weight. I am still the same height. 6' The only difference is instead of being 155 lbs I am now 220 lbs. My weight fluctuates. Therefore the photo does not really mislead anyone. If they would like to see me than the person can. Already offer to meet people in person but they never replied. By the way this forum has been done already. So far all I have seen is one excuss after another why not to meet someone. As long as there are excusses people will never meet and then they will wonder why they are still single. | |

Posted: 12/20/2005 7:30:27 PM | | ^^^^^ So if I'm looking for a thin man...and I search for people based on profile and pics and I stumble across you isn't that misleading? Sorry..but put up a current pic or quit ****ing about people having reasons not to date you. That's plain silly. Your post just sounded very bitter..and I'm guessing it's because of negative reactions when you meet someone. Well...some of the folks on here would prefer honesty..and if you lie about your appearance..which face it...100 lbs of difference is lying..then what else are you lying about. That's my take on it. Sorry. | |

Posted: 12/20/2005 7:33:13 PM | | Talking about pictures how do you folks get pictures of yourself? I have pictures when I go on vacation but that's about it. I see what appears to be pictures of people standing in their living room. Assuming you're single do you ask a friend to take a picture of you for POF? I don't think I ever had a picture of myself standing in my living room or outside my house. Are the pictures from a web cam? | |

Posted: 12/20/2005 7:34:55 PM | | I operate under the assumption that you're all 55 year old bald fat men. That way when/if I meet you I can be pleasantly surprised. Or more likely horrified to find the old bald fat man to be more attractive. Nothing against old bald fat men. Ok well see that was me trying to be polite to you old bald fat men. I was just seeing how many times I could type old bald fat men in a coherent paragraph. | |

Some of my profile pics are made with a tripod or I just asked friends to take them. My latest profile pic is 1 day old. I'm on a Vegas vacation right now and I had somebody take the pic during a day trip to Death Valley.. | |

Posted: 12/20/2005 7:36:51 PM | well, what I want to say is, there are times I looked at some pictures and the guy looks like he is 40 some, but his profile says he is 27. There, folks, how do you judge how old are the pictures?
Sorry, my profile picture are older than 4 months. They were taken this May, so they are what? 7 months old? New pictures will be taken hmmmm, maybe February 06, will let you know. Or what for??? I am only looking for friends here, oh, well for the forums too. | |

(Msg 20) I operate under the assumption that you're all 55 year old bald fat men.
Being 53, 6 foot and having a full head of hair I guess it's safe to assume I will never be short and bald. | |
