ive had a message again today when you read a profile and think ok hot then you look at the pic and think ok even hotter then they send you another pic and you crash to the ground thinking wtf same person yep but not anywhere near the hot pics on profile ?? why try and deceive you must realize that your not going to get away with it ?? ... now my messages are from guys but on our couples profile we look for couples and women too and its not a guy thing its a people thing..

so many people must turn up to meet and get the shock of there lives i would not continue the meet id walk away its not just face or body pics either some of those angles really do flatter many ...come on people be truthful in hoow you look today not 5 or 10 years ago...

I had someone try and organise a meet today then noticed the supposed lady was actually 2 different people. Same shape but tattoo. Wedding ring etc , after I sent my face pic and asked for the same she said she can't because of her job and sent 2 random bloke pics ??when I said don't bother you can tell its a scam with different women in pics I got radio silence, not even an argument

What you suggest is of course right. But for some it's a case of getting a foot in the door and so the truth will be stretched to breaking point to achieve that...Personally I prefer a video call before a meet to be sure of who I'm seeing not least for my own safety.

I think we've been lucky, most are as we expected bar one who clearly lied about the age.

I much prefer meeting people at socials for this reason, people either have an idea of what someone should look like based on snippets and then doesn't live upto expectations or general catfishing.

Filters lie, the struggles real. When they don't turn up looking like an emogi I run

Hang in there dude. It's tough being a guy here, but the challenges for girls are different, more scary.

Unless you've enabled message filters people can message you from the reply privately button on the forum.

I’m honestly not trying to knock you but hopefully you can see it doesn’t really look good when you’re complaining about other people’s profiles and hiding your own ?

“ …ok even hotter then they send you another pic and you crash to the ground thinking wtf same person yep but not anywhere near the hot pics on profile ??”

"

Erm? Pretty sure I could be forgiven for thinking here, but perhaps I’m wrong?

Anyway, hope it all works out for you

this is why I only meet people once I have had a video call with them for a few minutes .... least you get a better view of them facially that way somewhat ..

I was recently introduced to Snapchat .. I think it should be banned for life ..

I personally would ever say I would fuck someone based on pictures

Completely agree with this view. I think my profile picture looks like what I do now , but I mostly always attach a picture and a friend request to any messages so the other profile can see all my photos that show me at my best and worst lol I'd also sometimes attach a direct photo of me at that time.

I wish I could take a good picture lol people always tell me I look so much better in person but I can never get a decent pic. I went on a date once with what looked in her picture like a stunning woman, so sat outside the pub waiting for her (never let a lady enter a bar on her own gentleman) this old woman came up to me said hello, I said hi but do I know you? She said yea I’m your date lol I was nearly sick in my mouth lol needless to say it didn’t end well

It’s a natural human trait to choose pictures of yourself that are flattering.

Some take artistic license too far of course but a simple time saver would be to ask for a quick video chat to save disappointment.

Pretty easy if you’re that bothered.

Snapchat is probably one of the worst social media apps going. Sometimes it's hard to tell who you talking to. Even the snaps can often be dodgy as it is

People fabricate all the time. We do too to hide tummies etc, all angles, mirrors and smoke. however we mention tummies in the profile.

Our experience is people lie about height. 5ft10 seems to be a grey height everyone is that height. We meet them and they are clearly smaller. We now look for over 6ft...if they are smaller than scotsman then no. Simple rule.
