Guys do this too, just as much.

 

The answer put in your profile something like "Second dates reserved for those with profile pics less than 1 year old."

I dunno...In the case of my buddy thats certainly not the case...His profile pic shows him out in the woods in full camo, with a dirty Tony Stewart ball cap on and a dead deer in the background...:laugh:

funny story well sorta...

 

This one women in her pics the shots were very close up so there was no way to gauge how she looked overall like proportion. I had a idea and good faith but when I showed up her head was soooooo small like abnormally small and she was waaaay older and shorter then she said she was it threw me off, I feel you on this. So I changed my profile I do say things like "I did not lie about my height don't lie about your age" its good to be upfront about stuff you don't want to deal with.

Met up with a new girl last night.....drum roll please......

 

 

NOTHING like her pics either, I am starting to get use to this! That's like 5 in a row now.

 

Body was still ok, just her face didn't even look the same.

I won't meet someone unless she has a minimum of 1 body shot and 1 face shot with no weird or deceptive angles. A dead giveaway that she's probably fat is the upward angled selfie. Also, scroll through her pics and find the worst one, yep that's her. Athletic=Sumo wrestler.

 

I received a message from OKCupid that I had been voted into the top percentile of attractive male users based upon my star ratings from women visiting my profile. They also made me a site moderator and claimed they were gonna match me with the most attractive females. Ok, then why are they still sending me matches as though I look like George Costanza?

I don't agree that athletic = sumo wrestler. When I'm in shape, I'm a size medium sweatpants, but still a large top because the ta-tas don't seem to want to be less than a 38....

 

Oh and I will weigh 170+ pounds.

 

Right now my pics are within two years old, except for a picture of me parasailing - and I make a note of it.

 

I am overweight right now. No body shots, but only because the last few body shots make me look WORSE than I am. If I get a realistic one where I'm not wearing 50 layers of clothes while sledding down a hill in winter. I would post it.

 

I also have zero luck online. I've sent out close to 1000 emails, 3 - 4 sentences each. Not a nibble. I'm really not fugly, just average looking in the face.

 

Men lie as well. Men who only have pictures while wearing baseball caps often are covering up the baldness.

 

Men want to see whole body pictures, women want to see whole face and head.

I think THIS is ridiculous.

Of course you do. It's only to be expected.

I have heard people say this, including friends of mine who are doing OLD. Why would anyone who planned to actually MEET a person put up an out of date photo? Do they not think people will SEE the difference in person? Not to mention, if someone is going to categorically reject me because I am a 12 instead of an 8 from 5 years ago....why do I want to waste my time? Plus, we have some fundamental honesty problems from the start.

 

That said, is it mean that part of me, when I read snotty comments about a woman's weight from other women, that I secretly wish that said snotty catty women end up having some thyroid meltdown and suddenly know what it's like to balloon a could of sizes and be looked at with disdain? Sometims a little empathy and humility is way more attractive than the honor of fitting into size 0 hooker jeans ;)

 

I also have a thyroid problem and am not fat. I just am not a big fan of the whole "let's bash another woman" thing...." It's a tact and kindness issue ;)

Tact and kindness :laugh: Isn't it funny how the self-righteous can be the harshest sometimes :laugh:

 

The issue isn't about the person (not woman ;)) being overweight. There are lots of really good looking voluptous women out there.

 

The issues is with those that are uncomfortable with their weight and instead of doing something about it, they choose to misrepresent themselves.

 

I am indeed critical of people that can't sort their shlt out. In this situation it's extra weight, or not facing how they have aged, it could be a million other things. If it doesn't bother that person, they are unlikely to try to fool anyone.

I don't know too many people that look exactly like their photographs in person. A photograph is usually a pretty limited and often inaccurate representation of a person, even when it's not being staged. Maybe you're just expecting too much.

I like to do the reverse. I show the ladies a picture of me when I was a 225 lbs., but surprise them in person that that I've lost 35 lbs. in six months, much thinner and sexier. :p

It happened to me with the last guy I was supposed to go on a date with. Luckily we exchanged facebook details so I found out he was at least 40 lbs heavier than looked in his old photos.

 

I think it's just overweight people in general. If they were better at facing reality, they probably wouldn't be so big in the first place. They would do something about it rather than emotionally eat and keep getting depressed.

 

 

Yep, the last two guys I went out with from OLD were heavier than their pics.

 

 

One of them I continued to see for more than a month hoping his transgression was temporary (and for guys reading this... he and I never even kissed).

 

 

Both were decent guys. But I definitely feel they are defeating themselves by posting those pics and not getting serious about getting back in shape. I too see it as a form of denial. I'm pretty compassionate about the 'deception'.... if only because I had a nice time with them. Doesn't mean I'll change how I feel about lack of attraction though.

 

 

Neither of these guys seemed to be hypocritical about needing a woman who is more attractive than them. If anything, they became more insecure after meeting me in person, because I downplay my pics on purpose. I don't show my body... and I post pics of me without makeup, closeup, in sunlight. Kind of like here.

 

 

I know for sure I'm better looking IRL. I don't care. It's so much easier and fun being a pleasant surprise than even a mild disappointment.

still have not heard what is to be gained.

 

i thought the whole purpose of the 'profiles' and 'wish list' is to narrow the field.

 

BTW claiming fit and being overweight is no different from claiming overweight and showing up after losing 30 lbs.

Actually, I am secretly pleased when other women don't bother making any effort to look good. Eliminates the competition.
