Emilia Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 That's why I think people are much harsher judges online then in real life. When you have to list qualties about yourself like statistical data, people start looking at it just like that, statistical data to be evaluated based on what they think they "deserve" and what they are attracted to. In real life, your taking in the entire picture and environment and your not listing your stats in a vulnerable way. My point is that you wouldn't know they judge you because you wouldn't be put in that dating situation if they didn't find you attractive in the first place. If a 300 pound girl walks in a bar, she is judged just as harshly whether online or offline. What kind of personality does it indicate? Come on Emilia have you never ever lied to anyone about any matter of subjects? Or added a few more details to a story? I find that hard to believe. We all try not to lie but we are human and it happens. I'm not making a case that you should be attracted or date someone that lied about something in their profile. I'm just saying it's human, it happens and people do it because of a vulnerability and insecurity. And when you look at that way, you can start treating that person with more humanity then holding them under a microscope. I don't think it's some pathological personality trait. It indicates someone who doesn't get out much. No person who dates on a relatively regular basis will lie about their height or weight. Not because they don't wish they were thinner or taller but because they know how it works in real life. People that put their daughter's picture on a dating site (yes, true story) then turn up on a date with the guy who is expecting someone 25 years younger is a freak I'm sorry. I lied to get jobs, I lied to get out of fines, I lied about hobbies to look cooler but these ones I knew I'd get away with because I can judge reasonably securely what is a smart and believable lie that I can probably defend and what is something that's just dumb.
Disenchantedly Yours Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I hate drama = I am surrounded by drama The rest of your list is funny but this is the only one I agree with I don't want anyone with baggage = emotionally immature Don't contact me if you are *insert whatever adjective here* = negative, unhappy person with a superiority complex.
Disenchantedly Yours Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Emilia My point is that you wouldn't know they judge you because you wouldn't be put in that dating situation if they didn't find you attractive in the first place. If a 300 pound girl walks in a bar, she is judged just as harshly whether online or offline. I'm not saying that people aren't attracted to each other in real life too. All I am saying is that the way online is set up, people catagorize their potential partners based on statistical data. Which makes them harsher judges then if they met someone in real life. For me, talking about a 300 pound girl is an extreme case. Alot of men might not be attracted to her in real life but they probably aren't even given her a second thought since she isn't even a potential prospect. I have seen it time and time again with my own friends. Their exes where regular people, then they get online and no one is good enough for them. In both the men and women. It indicates someone who doesn't get out much. No person who dates on a relatively regular basis will lie about their height or weight. Not because they don't wish they were thinner or taller but because they know how it works in real life. People that put their daughter's picture on a dating site (yes, true story) then turn up on a date with the guy who is expecting someone 25 years younger is a freak I'm sorry. I wouldn't agree that it indicates someone that doesn't get out much. People use to say that online dating alone was for people that didn't get out much. Now almost every does it. It does indicate that they are human. Further, putting someone else's picture up is a completely different thing then shaving a few pounds from your weight or adding an inch or two to your height. We weren't even talking about putting up pictures of other people then showing up as a completely different person. I lied to get jobs, I lied to get out of fines, I lied about hobbies to look cooler but these ones I knew I'd get away with because I can judge reasonably securely what is a smart and believable lie that I can probably defend and what is something that's just dumb. So lies are okay as long as you can get away with them? If you are on a date with someone and he tells you he does rock climbing but he really doesn't. He is only saying this to seem more impressive, this is okay? But shaving some pounds off your weight or adding some to your height isn't? Of if a guy tells you you had a limited amount of partners when he has really had one night stands every night until the night he met you, that's okay? That's an easy lie to pull off. You also said that lying indicated some kind of personality trait. So why is it okay for *you* to lie and that doesn't represent a personality trait but when other people lie it does? That makes no sense. Everyone lies. You admitted you do. I know I have. Even when I try not to because of my personal fear of how the people in my life I love will preceive me. Trying to play off lying as some kind of mental disorder for other people while you admit to lying yourself but claim the distinction that your lies are more "believable" sounds like what's good for you isn't good for other peple.

Not always true. I consider kids and ex-wives "baggage" of which, I want nothing to do with. I always find it funny when folks make "don't" lists but don't bother to make "do" lists. I find it better to look for positive instead of immediately going to the negative. The part of online dating I never liked was when you had to list "divorced" or "never been married". I was married for 3 yrs in my early 20s and single ever since. I prefer to think of myself as single not divorced. When I put "divorced" the first question is always for how long...I hate saying 15 years.
Negative Nancy Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Yeah, I get a kick out of women on dating sites that are overweight, they try to literally HIDE it in their photos by taking picture from above or sideways or even funnier, trying to be cute peaking out from behind a large oak tree, when the REST of them is behind the tree. Or squatting down behind their kid or pet. haha, trying to picture what you just described cracked me up
lululucy Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 I have the same complaint about guys who say they have bigger than average cocks when it only turns out to be average... Common, common deceit! I know how to please a woman in bed, I'm always up for it, you won't be disappointed, sex is very important to me, etc. = impotent Or "It's about how you use it, not how big it is" -- ALWAYS means they don't know how to use it. And it's tiny. My point is that you wouldn't know they judge you because you wouldn't be put in that dating situation if they didn't find you attractive in the first place. If a 300 pound girl walks in a bar, she is judged just as harshly whether online or offline. It indicates someone who doesn't get out much.

That is exactly the point! I don't get lying on a dating site, it's just so infuriating to me. I put "curvy" as my descriptive word because I'm not thin, although I do work out regularly and take care of myself.. if a guy doesn't like me because I'm not 100lbs, then it's way better to know that before I get emotionally invested than later on. I'd agree that it shows someone who doesn't go out a lot.

Although I undestand not wanting to be with someone that has children. However, this is diferrent then what I am referring to. I noticed a lot of men just wanted to be with women that were happy and carefree with no prior history or problems. Being happy and carefree is great but even happy and carefree people come with "baggage". Everyone has "baggage". Everyone. It just depends how you handle it and how your partner handles it.

Being happy and carefree is great but even happy and carefree people come with "baggage". Everyone has "baggage". Everyone. It just depends how you handle it and how your partner handles it. Well baggage to me is "stuff from the past that one allows to control their present and future". Most people have baggage but not everyone. Some people have baggage and then lose it (because they learned how to let go, not because it was lost en route to Seattle ). And baggage isn't even something that you can always blame someone for entirely; it's understandable even if it's also a turnoff.
dasein Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 To the topic, of 30+ women dated online, only 2 were heavy and had deceptive profile pics. More lied about age, but not many. Many were far better looking than their profile pics. The camera doesn't love everybody, many people who aren't particularly photogenic are much better looking IRL.

Being happy and carefree is great but even happy and carefree people come with "baggage". Everyone has "baggage". Everyone. It just depends how you handle it and how your partner handles it. I agree. Everyone who has ever dated anyone has some kind of baggage. Even if someone hasn't dated, past a certain age that's considered baggage in itself. The big difference is that there are people that hang onto their past and expect their new interests to help them unpack that baggage or there are people that take some time in between trips and unpack that baggage themselves before moving onto the next leg of their life. I prefer the latter type.

That's actually a pretty important point. A woman is real life may actually be curvy and not flat out fat, but can't take a flattering photo of herself to save her life.
Disenchantedly Yours Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 Maybe the key is to post the most disgusting picture of yourself so that when they meet you they are like "dammmmmmn, she/he is better looking then I though". Lower the expectations then over deliver.
Art_Critic Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) It seems everyone lies about one thing or another in the online dating world. Perhaps you should just go back to old-fashioned real-life dating? That, or only agree to dates with women who have full-body photos posted. I never lied about anything in my OLD profile when I was single... I did pick average on body type.. I'm not a single pound overweight.. Pictures were all new and up to date.. I made a good accurate profile of who I thought I was and who I was looking for.. I found her on match.. married her.. and we have a kid together.. and About the only thing I messed around with was showing or not showing my income.. in reality it made no difference. I think the trick to success with OLD is picking thru the trash to find the people who are really dateable and match you.. There is no use in picking a profile by picture since half the profiles online are fake.. prostitutes..mail spammers..ect etc.. Hell.. I had my own fake profile that made me up as a girl so I could go check out the competition and look at other male profiles..no way was I going to look at another guys profile with my dating profile.. no homo That fake profile used to get tons of emails from guys..hahahahaha Edited January 5, 2012 by Art_Critic
Casablanca Posted January 5, 2012 Posted January 5, 2012 It seems everyone lies about one thing or another in the online dating world. Perhaps you should just go back to old-fashioned real-life dating? That, or only agree to dates with women who have full-body photos posted. I would hope that no one would stop trying to meet people in real life if they were online...online dating is used (at least by me) to expand someone I meet at a party, a bar, a gym, etc. We all lie don't we sometmes? It isn't right but I do think everyone lies about something on their dating profile or simply just doesn't include it. If you think about it, I'm sure there are things you leave out telling a potential love interest. Yes, but I dont lie online...it will come out when they meet...I could probably almost start justifying by saying I have an athletic body given how I've tone and lost some weight, but I'm not...gonna list me as average because really, I might look athletic compared to the majority of the population, but that isnt, or at least shouldnt be the benchmark. My last ex I met from a dating site had himself listed as average. He was 5'10, 205 lbs. That's pretty considerable overweight. Borderline obese by BMI standards. I guess, I'm 6'1 (and I guess 4 inches can make a big difference there) and I weigh that much and people tell me I dont look at all over 200 lbs (they usually guess around (185)...It depends on how people are built...muscle is more dense than fat. But I assume by your post that he didnt look like he was in good condition If in her picture, she looks like she's 5'6" ~ 130 and then you meet her in person and she's 5'6" ~ 150, so what? 20 pounds can be lost in a month. She still looks essentially the same. Id like to lose 20 lbs in a month...how can it? Also dont go into a relationship expecting to change them..you like like them for who they are, not who they can be....projects never work out If I were to go on a date with a woman I met online and it turns out that she's much heavier than I was led to believe; what should I do? Just go one with it and say you had a nice time but didnt feel any romantic interest. That is why if I meet someone online, I try to go for coffee or drinks first...well this isnt the only reason, but it is a good way to see if you have in person chemistry at a lower cost. Not that I dont mind taking a woman out and spoiling her, I dont want it to be a one time spoil and have her never answer my calls, which has happened. I have the same complaint about guys who say they have bigger than average cocks when it only turns out to be average... Common, common deceit! Haha...does this actually happen or are you just saying that? I've never actually told anyone my size, they just find out from first hand (and mouth and vagina and sometimes the backdoor) experiences I think the trick to success with OLD is picking thru the trash to find the people who are really dateable and match you.. This!!!!!! I have a pretty good respond rate, maybe 30-40%, but I only send out ones I think we have common interests and are similar in attractiveness....I'm rarely going to message a 10, though I have a couple times, and have gotten a response and got a date out of it and I'm not going to message someone who is an outdoorsy person who loves to go hunting, mudding, 4 wheeling, etc. more than anything. I'm a city boy, I want to date someone who has similar interests and personality types. There are quite a few girls I find attractive online, but I dont always find their personalty and interests that attractive so no point

Many were far better looking than their profile pics. The camera doesn't love everybody, many people who aren't particularly photogenic are much better looking IRL. I look like friggan corpse in 90% of the pictures I take, My face only likes natural sunlight. I know a few people that just look horrible in pictures but great in real life. And for the ladies, Not only did I loose my gut, I found an extra inch below the belt when I did. I'm above average because I do have muscle definition & wearing size 31 jeans. However I lost so much weight I do have some loose skin so I don't know if putting athletic is being honest.
Casablanca Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I know a few people that just look horrible in pictures but great in real life. I know people like this, and I'm one of them as well, others have told me, so it isnt my only opinion. Hell, one girl I met online told me my pictures didn't do enough justice for me upon meeting me for the first time. I give people the benefit of the doubt with regards to this issue, but you can get a great idea on someone's body type through a picture at least and get a decent idea of what someone looks like even if they dont photograph well.
OpenBook Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 It's a bit less obvious than asking them to hold up today's New York Times. :lmao: Trying to quit = smokes like a train Drinks rarely = alcoholic :lmao: Caring and loving = Nagging and overbearing I love life = I am miserable and I want you to be, too Free Spirit = Always looking for greener grass Social Drinker = I only get drunk on days that end in "Y" :lmao:
D-Lish Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 In my OL dating experience men have lied about: Age Weight Height Ethnicity Career Relationshipship status The list goes on...
laotzu Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I agree, actually: it's really quite bad. If someone doesn't have a body shot, at this point, I won't respond or initiate contact.
Dust Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 News flash this just in people have been lying about dating since the begining of time. Next news flash internet dating has only provided more oportunities to lie then in real life dating. I've seen plenty of girls in real life who think they are tiny little things when they look 300+ pounds. So, just imagine what goes on over the internet. If I were to go on a date with a woman I met online and it turns out that she's much heavier than I was led to believe; what should I do? Just ask for some current pictures like taken not longer then a month or two at the most. If you want to risk it with out current pictures set the date to meet at a coffee shop with no real plans. That way you have quick cheap drink (don't pay for hers) and then you say bye. Don't tell her she is fat just say something like she seems really nice but you're not feeling the chemistry. If she crazy and says "you think I'm fat" just say "like I said I'm just not feeling the chemistry good bye." I have the same complaint about guys who say they have bigger than average cocks when it only turns out to be average... Common, common deceit! I'd tear you in two if you were so lucky! Or "It's about how you use it, not how big it is" -- ALWAYS means they don't know how to use it. And it's tiny. That is exactly the point! I don't get lying on a dating site, it's just so infuriating to me. I put "curvy" as my descriptive word because I'm not thin, although I do work out regularly and take care of myself.. if a guy doesn't like me because I'm not 100lbs, then it's way better to know that before I get emotionally invested than later on. I'd agree that it shows someone who doesn't go out a lot. Oh Lululucy if you look like the girl in your picture you're very cute. The picture doesn't seem to be taken at any crazy angle. Maybe you could put up some bikini shots? In my OL dating experience men have lied about: Age Weight Height Ethnicity Career Relationshipship status The list goes on... Well I'd lie if I met you too. Tell you I was the prince of some far off land and if you wanted to step into my van and help me look for my lost puppies and kittens...
