Or does it?

Have you ever met someone for a social who looks nothing like their Fab Pics?

As a photographer, The camera never lies but a good editing program can help it to Blur the truth.

A few times but it’s usually that they look better in person than their photos.

Not a fab social, but from elsewhere. It MIGHT have been her, in old bad picture.

It annoys me more when they lie about their height. You are waiting to meet a 6ft man and a little guy comes trotting towards you.

Hate getting my pic taken, think I always look terrible on it or maybe that is me normal

Suppose one of the reason I'm usually on cam in the chat room at least people can see what I look like.

So far, touch wood, been told I look better than my pics so at least I've met people who care about my feeling

Harsh but fair I think.

Met a few from POF that were unrecognisable from their photos. Some are also economical about their age as well as using the term "a few extra pounds" when the word "stone" should be used.

this is my biggest annoyance too, I’m fairly tall and prefer a 6’ or taller man, the amount of times they lie and end up being around 5’ 9

Yea filters have improved people.

Although I think we are fairly represented in our pics but K always looks better as she will take about 20 then choose the favorite.

To be fair there is quite a few tanned faces that don’t match their bodies.

I don't like these filters that add dog features, or glasses and such. If you are going to post a face pic, post a face pic.

I don't like cod lips either.

It's not that the camera lies. Tricks of light and angles.

When you meet them they look somewhat different often despite tbeir best efforts, they look loads better in the flesh...

Yes. I went to a meet and she said she couldn't play because she thought I was taller because of my photos. (when I've always shown height on profile). Took me 10 mins to start the car I was laughing at the situation so much.

It is very easy to take a current photo... people need to be comfortable in their own skin... that way leads to the best meets with the nicest people...

Yep, I edited the colours of the walls/bed etc. on our fab pics to make them a li'l less recognisable. Makes me feel more secure.

(I'd never edit the pics of us though - with the exception of obscuring Mr's recognisable tattoos - as I really don't see the point in attempting to lie about how you look.)

I’ve never edited my pictures however I would say i take a good photo and often think I look better in picture than in flesh. All down to maybe angle or u can’t see that patch or dry skin or spot.

I however never lie about how I look, I am pretty small in height and fat, people have a choice if they would like to meet me or not.

However I would say opposite of grump he doesn’t take a good picture and is certainly better looking in the flesh x

Once. She looked nothing like her pictures. But she was a really nice person, I wasn’t as attracted to her in person but I’m to nice to be rude so we got it on & that was that. I think it’s better to meet people socially first, then fuck if there is an attraction.
