Does it bother you? Photo shopped or whatever, flawless skin etc.

False advertising??

What do you think when you see an obviously doctored profile pic?

No it doesn't bother me, by the time we meet I would have seen a lot more of him on different platforms anyway.

I like to add a slight tan on mine as I am so pale in winter

So long as they look like their picture we don't see an issue (removing blemishes etc) it's the ones when you see the bent things in the back ground suggest editing shapes etc.

Depends on the reason. The comedy ones are brilliant, like a bikini on a peni, there was a TV called Mikki who had some that literally had me in tears of laughter.

The ones that are to trick tho, nah, I ain't down with that.

Yes I use filters to change the light or add blur for the artistic side, but not to change "me"

Doesn't bother me as it tends to be those filters that give everyone alien eyes or some very obvious Photoshop giving blokes enormous floor-sweeping cocks.

Either way, it's not like catfishing to me because it's pretty obvious that's not a realistic representation of how the person would look - I have more of an issue when someone uses 20 year old photos then turns up looking nothing like them!

Not something I'd choose to do myself but each to their own.

I filter some of mine because the light in winter is crap, though will admit playing with lighting of the picture will alter the look of my skin. And using B&W definitely makes my skin look a lot more uniform. But then I post pics of my cellulite arse or me grabbing my belly fat. I'm not hiding who I am it's a collection of different kind of pics.

I have noticed an increasing number of people that appear to be using the beauty filters...the ones that subtly "airbrush" pictures and can make wrinkles and cellulite seem massively reduced. Personally, I prefer to be completely upfront about what I look like (no surprises when people meet me, I usually send a face picture without makeup), and the only filters I ever use are B&W if I think the picture looks better than in colour, or some blurring to disguise things in the background

Each to there own, it's there profile and how they want to portray themselves. Even if we were chatting with someone who had all there pic filtered and we were interested it still wouldn't put us off meeting up with them. That's what socials are for right.... Meeting in person to see if you click

We crop and change the colour of some pictures and in the past I have blurred my medication patch. Now I don't worry about people seeing it so much. I understand those who do it to hide identity but not to alter their look.

I don't mind a little bit and do it myself. The odd pimple has been edited out here and there, and I use colour filters (although face pictures you'll get me as I am). But it does get to a point where it's obviously not real anymore.

Personally, I like a picture to still look like me so only thing that may change is the light filter as I like some pics in black and white.

It doesn't bother me as such. I can usually tell when a photo has been edited in an unrealistic way.

I just wouldn't meet them.

Ive used colour filters and background effects on my recent pics just to add some variety to my new pics.

My earlier pics have no filters so people can see me properly

I'd rather see the raw photos. I don't change mine except to crop in some cases. You are what you are.

I use filters

Just colour change or light added

My ass doesn’t look as good without them

But I advertise that on my page.

I love photography and so many pics are edited all over the place- so a little on fab doesn’t bother me

I probably don't notice but would decline if someone was vastly different to what was preferable that had been presented and they were not attractive to me.

Guys on here look for pictures of guys with 6 packs on google and use them as there profile photo

I've seen them on threads about loosing weight and how they need to lose stones

and they are the guys all the women go for on here

Now for the women

they look for pictures of good looking women that looks that vaguely look like them

then put one real picture of what they actually look like stuck in there and try to make it look like they are better looking than they are

I can't see the point in why people overuse these filters. Some have changed their face and bodyshape beyond recognition. Some legs thinner than their arms in some photos. Surely they must forget when they go meet the guy that he will expect that image to turn up and will get a surprise

There are some very cartoonish profile pics and yet people fall over themselves to lavish praise on those people and every forum comment is met with oohs and aahs.

We all like to look our best but if the best we can present is a heavily filtered photo then it's a false representation.

There are numerous profiles using the same filters and they all look exactly the same. So much for being unique and standing out from the crowd.

Not a fan of the beauty filters or those that distort body shape. I just don’t see the point if you’re planning on actually meeting people from here...

We crop, sometimes change to B&W or tweak the lighting. Also sometimes put a silly sticker on our faces if we can't crop out. We've added frames to some collage ones too. Otherwise our pics are us, you'd recognise us with our clothes off

My phone has a mild beauty filter set on it but I definately look like me. I have make up free photos up, and mum tum photos up on fab too these days.

For others, minor touches I understand, over editing I'm less enthusiastic about.

I remove bad blemishes, tweak lighting and such but most of my better photos are just good angles.

I want people to know what they are getting.

If others want to make themselves look radically different, that's up to them. Though I'm unlikely to meet them.

Enhance the dark photos, sharpen the image ,get the exposure right, yes make the picture show you off, but don't skew or change the shape etc

Happened to us twice in gran canaria last year.

We meet 2 couples who looked nothing like there photos in real life.

Both times we had one drink with them and made our excuses to leave.

Why but just why.

Just put on who you are not something you are not.

As my status says, it really is that big!

Just ignore the weird buldging and distortion in places, it was a dodgy camera.

You can get rid of cellulite with targeted massage.
