MissBee Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 I started chatting with a guy online about a month ago and could tell right away his profile picture was taken from a magazine or something similar. The guy insisted it was himself and that the pic had been photoshopped. But after he sent me some live pics of himself it was obvious the guy in the profile pic wasn't him, and he accused me of trying to say he was ugly. We chatted on webcam and I still couldn't see any similarities except the same hair and eye color. After that, all he wanted to do was communicate via email. About a month later I told him I was done with just emailing, I wanted something serious and was ending it because he just wanted cyber sex. I still couldn't help but wonder if the profile pic was him, so I googled the pic, and sure enough, it was indeed a professional athlete's pic. I thought I'd give the guy one more chance to come clean, but he still insisted the guy in the pic was him, even after I sent him a link to the article proving he'd ripped off someone else's pic. His response? He says the guy in the pic IS him, and people have stopped him on the street mistaking him for the pro-athlete in the article.Why would he keep insisting he was the guy in the pic after I'd shown him proof it wasn't? Because he has a serious lying problem and is holding on to this delusion. Does it matter though? From someone is lying about their picture I would run very far away and not look back, I don't need to explore their psyche and why they did it.

Because pathological liars and insecure people who get called out on their bull**** are pathological liars and insecure people. 1
Redhead14 Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Well, why are you out there preying on these poor men and their fake pictures? When something appears to be too good to be true -- It's not good enough for the truth. That is one reason for making the first time you meet an internet dating contact, short and sweet -- coffee or a couple of drinks. It's just to confirm that they are who they say they are and look like their picture.
