our pics are all recent....of ourselves...and totally without manipultion......the pics we dont get are those that show....peoples feet...or a hat....or a cigar, or a bit of rope...wtf? are we meeting people...or their props? the ones that we see as misleading are those of anything but the person/s themselves.... a couple of squiggly lines, pretty as they may be....mean nothing, so why show them?

I once arranged to meet a couple. The lady looked stunning in the pic (don't they always)I waited , and waited at the coffee shop, only for a guy to turn up and tell me that his wife was sick ( Yeah Right!! ) He told me that she was keen to play but wanted him to suss me out. Although i said i was very clearly str8, he then said she wanted him to see all of the package, and if i went to his car with him, he could inspect " the goods" and report back..............Oh and while i was there he was happy to give me a blow job............. (steve exit left door)Great scam to get guys to meet bi or gay guys...........So no he didn't look ilke the profile pics and I'm sure the wife didn't exist.Profile pics are also useful to show a little of someones personality,I like the pics where there is something other than body bits and faces. it shows something about the person. So squiggles, inanimate objects all good for me. I know this is a sex site but sometimes we could be a little less shallow.............. But really old pics..........you will always get caught out, unless you are a chatter and not a meeter!!Steve x

There are a few profiles out there with misleading pics but not that many. We find there are more that just don't have a pic at al especially of the male 1/2 of couples . Or like other's say its so vague after viewing it you still have no idea what the persons body could look like. We have met people before that we were a little bit on the fence regarding there pis and they actually looked better in person than in there pics. I guess they just didn't choose there best pic. That said we tend to judge looks based on what pics people can show in RHP and always want to see a clear face pic befor meeting. At times getting a clear pic of the male 1/2 of a couple is like trying to get blood out of a stone . It's good to change profile pics now and then when you get the chance. We do when we get bored of them. As long as people haven't dramatically changed there looks for the worse it doesn't bother us if peoples pics are a year or two old. Just not 10 - 20 years old. Pics of people's cars, bikes, boats, swimming pool and fish catch of the day make us laugh.Tim

What are FIFO guys? I only know it as "first in first out". All of my piccies are from when I opened my profile about a year ago. I don't think I've changed greatly but I guess maybe I should add some new ones. I'll put it on my "to do" list.

sorry tuscan...was commenting on the irony of your topic....and the pic u had posted... had to..sorry lol... the 'other' stuff could be kept in a private gallery.... as whether the persons got a clubsport or a vespa or even a light aircraft, is no indicator of who they are, or even if they are real......these are 'conversation' pieces, for later on, once contact been made...lol we have people saying 'nice Harley'.....when its actually a Kawasaki...thats embarassing to some, so the pics are hidden... we are here to meet and potentially play..... not to do the 'mines bigger than yours' strut....or to play 'tit for tat' with others.....that tends to get in the way of a good time.....in our experience.

Many years ago I arranged to have a date with a very hot man that I had been talking to. Imagine my horror when a 60 something, very overweight, balding Indian man turned up! He had been using his son's pictures to get the women in. After reading him the riot act, he then said to me "Well I suppose your not going to get naked for me now". The answer was definately nooooooo! Pusscat xxx

Yep, the silhouette showing in my public is me... gathering by the amount of messages I get telling me how *hot* I am, and given they only have access to my public 'silhouette', it's working well (I do reply saying all the others have simply stolen my photo!).I do find profiles that have very outdated photos do more damage than good. It is never a good way to start the inital meet by thinking *oh FFS!*Private cam chat sorts that out. :)I don't mind peoples public profiles having an *artistic* image that may reflect their personality (especially if the other option is the sexy silhouette). However, if they have a picture of their son/grandson that they are trying to pass off as them, then that's a different story - they are either looking for online attention only or hope the person they are meeting is blind/so horny that they overlook this "small fact". (I wonder if that's actually ever worked?)

yes not from here but another site, and its happened atleast five times. Not to be rude to the ladies involved but their pics looked much better, I wasn't a snob and made excuses to leave, I stayed around and did what we had organised, one ended up becoming a good friend.And I myself have turned up and not looked like my pic lol, was told I looked much better and should get a better one, but at the time I didn't have any recent pics so tried taking some with my phone.

...about the use of symbolism or artistic representations in your profile front page, they can be quite seductive to the mind and tell a bit about who just might be behind what you see. Some of the most amazing profiles here are full of creative, imaginative and seductive photos that really do tell a story...and interestingly will attract people that are similar. | Quoting 'tuscanred'I will have to change my logo picture... | I suppose you could dress up like you were going out on Halloween and please do knock on my door, little girl...I've got a Chupa Chup for you and the choice of flavour is yours. | It's a bit like reading the forums...what folks write here can show that they have those similar characteristics that I like or they can become predictable, boring and lifeless. I will usually not even bother to read what they write...it's usually always the same and could even be cut and paste for what it's worth. Although even then, nothing is without some value...if I am having a really bad day, I will read every word. It makes me feel better knowing that my day tomorrow may be better...and not just another day in a life that is dull, boring, lifeless and without anything in the colour spectrum that makes up what we call the rainbow of life. | Fade to white.......... | | Now pop open your private galleries and hit me with you best shot!

I'm sure this is partly my fault because I didn't do the cam thing before hand or ask for another photo or something. I've met women from RHP and from other sites who were.....well.....interesting. -One had used her niece's photos, needless to say her niece was much better looking and younger and slimmer.....-One used someone else's photos, totally unrelated to her and did not look like her in the slightest. -One had face photos, was listed as average-slim and turned out to be carrying several spare tyres.....-I've met a woman who sat there and picked her nose....despite being very intelligent and quite eloquent....-one sat there getting absolutely blind drunk-similar to one above, turned out to be much more rotund, then proceeded to plonk herself down on my lap and try and eat my face....was inordinately difficult to lift 80-90kg off my lap......Guess I don't have the best of luck......

This is something I so totally don’t get…this is a sex site..so one assumes you are, in time (one hopes) going to meet up with that person that you’ve been chatting with – all being well, so why the out of date or false photos ? (shakes head)– you are so gonna be sprung !! This happened to me prior to Xmas – lovely guy from this site, on paper - terrific , phone chats - all good, he didn’t have a photo on his profile but in his PG – fair enough – nice looking but did have the obligatory sunglasses on, but I was ok with that…everything still looked good….but at the meet, said photo must have been circa 1997….it was somewhat out of date and the guy had not aged that well (sorry) !!! – it was a shame…he was a nice guy and I stayed and we did have a pleasant (non sexual afternoon) chatting but absolutely no chemistry – I also felt a bit cheated…god if you lie about your photo, where’s your line on lying about anything ? All my photos are less than 3 months old – courtesy of my snapper friend Tuscan Red, who is a true artist…I’m not Angelina Jolie (and I’d do her in a second) – just me, if I do it for you (Yay) terrific and if not…then I’m sure there is another lovely lady out there who will appeal..Think twice about the dodgy photo…would you like it done to you ?

That show my face a bit more clearly. I have met a few people with fake pics on another site, back when I was in a bigger town and meeting people regularly. Needless to say when someone only has pictures of their body, it can be hard to tell they're fake if you meet on a cold day and they're wearing a jacket.

I met one guy when I was new to this whole net thing without seeing a pic of him...but the way he described himself as well as telling me that he has been out with models and stuff made me believe he was HOT! He flew in from Brisbane and I picked him up at the airport...I saw him and was shocked at how blah he was...Luckily he was in the Air Force, so I just took him from the airport straight to the RAAF base not that far from my house and never saw him again..ignored all his messages and when I finally worked it out...blocked him. . Met another guy a couple of years later and he looked nothing like his pic...it was around 15 years old and around 40kgs lighter ago...I told him that he looks nothing like his pic and he said that the reason why he had that pic up was because it was a significant time in his life...I just walked out! . Met another guy at a pub...looking, looking, looking and couldn't find him...thought I had been stood up and about to leave when this total stranger walked up to me and asked me if I was Funloving...I looked at him horrified and said yes..he said that he was such and such and that he was happy to meet me! The pic on his profile was not even him at all!! He had 3 face pics on his profile and none of them was him (different hair colour, different eye colour) also he told me in chat that he was born and bred here and yet he was struggling with the Aussie language. I stood there and gave him a huge serving about having fake pics and walked out fuming! From that moment on...I swore I would not meet a guy unless I see him on cam (of course I make them see me too...no cam sex)! . I used to go to drinks nights that were held by another site in conjunction with RHP and was surprised also at how many women that I met (socially as I am straight) looked nothing like their pics at all! I don't get why people do that and then they get disappointed with the results or non results! xFunlovingx

Nearly every one I've ever met looked a bit different from their pic. Some very much so.If i decide i want to meet someone i usually do a pic swap where we both request something they are unlikely to have in their gallery. I asked one woman to cover her nipples with spoons once.If someone is prepared to do that for you, you have built a little trust to boot. It's allso quite good fun

Online dating is a crazy jungle where only the fittest and strongest has a chance.. A lot of people will have fake images and setup fake profiles just to have a perve on others..People (especially guys) with the intention of meeting others will do what it takes to increase their odds of chatting and hopefully meeting someone.After all, we all wanna have the best sexual experiences and not willing to jump in bed with just anyone (although some do).So, for a person, to whom the years haven't been too kind , not blessed with good genes, or simply not photogenic, having a fake or old picture increases the odds of other people contacting them back and possibly getting a date..Those dates may lead to experiences like the Funloving's or SLK27's but I have heard other stories where the lady was shocked with how different the person looked from their pictures, but still went ahead and slept with them..Video chatting usually helps, but people will still look different in person.Having fake or old pics for these reasons doesn't make it right, as most of us will make sure they portray themselves truthfully to eliminate disappointment. Unfortunately others are not as considerate...
