The same can be said about the many single female profiles!It would be great if at least couples and singles date stamped the picture, or made mention that the pictures are as recent "as".The same goes for personal descriptions, when they consider themselves as "Athletic" when in fact more resembling "Extra Padding". Not having a go at those who meet the latter description but there should be some guideline. Athletic to us ( in the male form), is defined muscular features, washboard stomach and broad shoulders that taper to the waist. Females would be less muscular and no jiggly bits. We have no problem being critical of ourselves and happy to describe what we look like so others can make an informed decision on taking things further.Penniandpound xx

Why would you use photos of someone else when you can use black and white photos of yourself instead? Everything looks sexier in black and white!

I think, more than prevalent fakes, that photos are often passed their use by date. The photos in my galleries are pics of me aged between 21 and 48 for instance. They show where I've been and where I'm going. :p Give me 6 months away from a gym and I can completely different to the person I am now. Also, plenty of you ladies, and I guess some of the guys, look completely different without your makeup applied. It's all a little theatrical and the pics are a mere snippet of a person at a place in time. How many times do you walk into a bar, sit down and chat to someone and get fed a line? You might not realise it happening. Well, here is no different to that. You can cam to eliminate the visual doubts but as for the rest, you just have to figure it out best you can. Hugs Stalky

lol...I have been on the end of a....ahem....slightly different pic to real life....online she was a 5'7 slimmish nice-looking female....when meeting her for a drink and lunch, she had morphed into a 5'0 22 stone roly-poly beach ball...lol...and all that was in the space of a month !!!!!.....ahhh, isn't it wonderful when you have a sister !!...but it is true what you say...in our mind we form a view of someone by the various sides of themselves that they show...first there is their profile and what they write about themselves...then you chat via email and msn...and our opinion starts to take a stronger shape...and then you hear their voice on the phone...and by the time you meet, in your mind you are expecting a...a....a....well, whateva...and you are either delighted, even more delighted, or, sigh...disillusuioned...tonight, we meet a woman who i have chatted to via email, msn and on the phone, but i have no idea what she looks like, so i'll let ya know how it goes...cheers and looking forward to tonight...immensely...jose...

Lets face it. If they are prepared to lie and put up somoneelses photo then you get a pretty fair indication of the type of person you are dealing with. I would say get the hell out of there while you can. They will mislead here, at work and in general. They will do whatever it takes to get what they want. Is that what you want? I don't display photo, that's a choice for the moment, but if I met someone who had deliberately mislead me I would be out of there. Just tell it like it is. I admit the descriptions on body type available are restricted. One can be tall, slim and still carry a few pounds. How do they describe that? Honesty is, and always will be the best policy.

i recently drove to sydney only to discover that the person i was meeting had used old and cropped pics on their profile and was nowhere near what i was expecting. i still did the deed anyway cos i didnt want to hurt her feelings, but i left there feeling like i'd exchanged a pound for a penny, and felt i had degraded myself a bit despite having done it out of kindness. my point is, when people misrepresent themselves they put others in an uncomfortable position when meeting face to face. maybe they deserve to have their feelings hurt for being full of shit in the first place, but im a softie and dont like doing that, and im sure there are others like me on here too. another reason some people use fake pics is because all they are expecting from the site is a cyber-space fantasy relationship with no intention of meeting up in real life. i think thats fine if thats what floats their boat, as long as they dont waste peoples time by misleading them into thinking that a meeting is their eventual goal. its just one more of the many reasons why people sign up to this site, (not eveyone is here to meet up and have sex), and if they get something out of it without hurting anyone else im happy for them.

I know 110% people use fake profiles as when looking for dates in datefinder a few weeks back I cam across some pics of mine and old playmate being used for a single girls profile. I know it isnt her so obviously a couple we chatted to in past has taken the photos we shared and used as own... Most likely a guy who split from partner and looking at getting some couples to send him pics for own use... RHP quickly deleted profile I think and they yet to resurface thank god...

Yes has happened to us as well :( The best way we have found is to head out to a party or event and meet people there first rather than trusting a pic on here. That way if they look nothing like the pics then not all is lost and you still have a chance at meeting someone else that catches your eye hehe :) xoxoxo

It took me just two meets with guys with fake pics to start insisting on cam. No cam, no meet is my motto!! You would be surprised (or maybe not) on how many guys have either no cam or it's not working or say to me "Can't we just meet without the cam". The two guys that had fake pics up got a mouthful from me in front of everyone in the coffee shop and pub!! I won't put up with that shit and don't want my time wasted!! I too am a softie at heart...but no way am I going to put out for a fake!! xFunlovingx

Speaking from the male perspective, which of course is the only one I have and have a validated profile...the solution is quite simple and requries far less than camming or investigative research? As I prefer nearly always to meet somewhere publically, I simply "suggest" that if I don't recognize the personally easily or have to second guess...they will indeed be having either the drink or dinner in their own company. A few have then decided meeting is not such a good idea and on the upside, several have been simply magnificient and certainly who they have shown themselves to be...and more. I like simplicity.

I agree that people who do use fake or very old photos of themselves are on a hiding to nothing. Probably just want some cyber eroticism or so out of whack with reality that they don't think their potential partners won't notice. BUT, I for one and most others on this site are very comfortable with the idea of the head cropped. Privacy is important, especially in the workplace etc and photos can pop up anywhere on the net. Also it is a process .. flirt, message, then exchange adys, swap face photos or cam, phone, meet and then see. It is the safe way and also builds up anticipation .. to see whether you at least like this person. Once I did it on spec with a photo of two breasts and nothing else .. after meeting she went from 37 to 45, a size 10 to 18 and having two kids to seven and strangely she was a born again christian go figure ... . Like the chap above I did the deed .. actually all night (but that is another story) ... i learnt a lesson ... take things slow . there are so so many people who misrepresent themselves .. alwsy better to go through the process, it doesn't need to take that long.

Quoting 'xFunlovingx' It took me just two meets with guys with fake pics to start insisting on cam. No cam, no meet is my motto!!

I too am a softie at heart...but no way am I going to put out for a fake!! xFunlovingx I don't meet someone now unless I can webcam with them first and talk to them on the phone. Not into wasting time and just found out that once you can chat with someone for real and see them on webcam it takes away a lot of hurdles. I've found too unfortunately that many of my fellow males subject the ladies to a full frontal cock when they cam with them first time... not cool at all. Anyway - thats my few bytes worth :-) hugs Wayne

I'll tell you what amazes me... I read some profiles in here and what I see in the words is worldly, experienced and in touch people who appear to know what they want and how to navigate this world..... Then they type or open their mouth and what comes out? "I can't believe someone would use a fake/old pic" "They looked 10 years older" "He didn't have chiseled abs and as soon as someone sat in the car he couldn't lift it on to 2 wheels anymore" And it’s in total shock and amazement? REALITY CHECK PEOPLE -Your parents have lied to you and if you don't believe that then you have serious problems. -Employers lie and leave stuff out at interviews. -Police lie to get confessions and just plain lie. -Car salesmen lie. -Real estate salespeople lie. -Banks lie. -Politicians lie. Do you really think strangers on a sex site won’t ever lie? Nearly every person lies every day and most people really don't give a rat’s arse about anyone other than themselves, their immediate family and a few close friends. This is a sex site where you have thousands of guys who are competing to identify and bed the 5 women in here who actually meet and have sex and thousands of women all wanting to compete for and meet the 3 guys in here that are built like Fabio, cook like a master chef and have a cock like King Kong and like to listen about your friends problems. If you expect that some people won't manipulate the truth, air brush a photo or use a flattering angle (Like holding the cam over your head so your 22EE boobs conceal your size 28 tummy) then you are fucking kidding yourself. I can’t believe some people can be so naïve when their profiles suggest they’ve been there done that and this is lap 15. I want to sell you people used cars, I have a lot full of them only driven on weekends by a little old lady from Pasadena.. Just on body description, I train every day, I can swim 2000m then jump on a bike and cycle 120km yet because I don’t have chiseled abs and veins popping out of my biceps I am not entitled to use the description athletic? Pffft.. Want to blame someone for all this? Blame the superficial love me do’s who make everyone feel like they’re an overweight blob of shit for not looking like a magazine model. Fuck now I’m on a roll so here’s another shot across the bow.. Try some lines like these in your profile: -Regardless of what YOU think, I think I’m gorgeous so you have to be hot for me to be interested -I am shallow and really want to impress my girlfriends/mates so you have to look like a god/goddess -I think I’m/people think I’m rich and I want a trophy root/companion -I live in a dream world and think I can pull a hunk/glamour so you need to be hot Now I say this because if you actually went and met someone you must have made some kind of connection over the phone or in chat or you roughly fit into the above category. I make no apology for pissing anyone off here so don’t look for one.

My profile photo matches Stella's descriptioon of a fae one perfectly. Well, it is actually me but if people are going to automatically assume it's fake, maybe I should change it.

I'm really not after the chiselled abs/young swimmer body physique. I appreciate it, but maybe I just realise that's not really in my league? This one guy messaged me who was just too good to be true, I thought I'd play along and see what the scam was. Dude was in Nigeria, it amused me lots until I got bored.I'm not sure that guys are doing themselves a service if they're putting fake pics on. I understand the few year old pic, and I understand the FGA (fat girl/guy angles) and that's kind of fair enough too I guess, as long as you're honest in your profile. When I've been flirted by guys who have pics that show they're obviously really athletic and exercise a lot and put a lot of time into their appearance, I don't even reply, unless they specify in their profile they like larger women. It's judging and generalising, but all I can't think is what lovenlust72 said on another thread - "Why are you messaging me? You wouldn't walk across a bar to talk to me why do you want to fuck me." So putting a picture on a profile of a model or athlete that isn't an appropriate representation may actually be doing you out of the chance to meet genuine people.All of my pics were taken this year, except one of my face shots, which I think is cute and I still look the same (well hair changes often), and it's 18months old. I've been told my pics are honest. I don't have pics of my bum and tummy cos they're hard to take but I do have them on my phone so I can send before meeting so there's no misconception.

Ok...my pics ARE of me....BUT...I will admit that they definitely flatter me.I do believe I have an OK face...and I also know that the bod needs some serious work...but the heart is sincere...and the mind is open...so even if we don't click physically...there's nothing to say we couldn't be friends.Expecting perfection when you're far from perfect just sets you up for a downfall.JMO...BJxxx

' Since the internet has been around there has been people who lie about alot of things, and it will continue to happen..Its up to you as a person if you want to believe them or not... I also think that people see themselves different to how you might see them, and when they look in the mirror they dont see what you do.. Eg that they are older, bigger etc or that some people lack confidence in themselves and think that if they put a better photo up (with make up on, body shots, or whatever), that someone will pay them attention.. And everybody wants attention. Late x

Lets face it ... we make the best of what we have ... such as in pictures and descriptions ... It is a little like a job application: You can push the envelope only so far but don't out and out lie. Sure pictures accentuate your best assets ... and descrptions may accenuate attractive personaly points. But to add a few more inches to your penis, take off a few stone off your weight or a few years off your age ... only produces a disappointment in any meet ... and in a world of perception management ... people can only take so much spin.
