FabSwingers.com forum: Letting someone down after that dreaded full body pic

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

What do you say to someone after you've been chatting a little, getting along and they send you that out of focus pic in the mirror and they do not look good or anything at all like the first few pictures. Did you be honest and say you are not for me, do you just ignore or delete and block (bit extreme) ??

no need to mention a womans body as it may knock her confidence and she may end up missing out on guys who like the way she looks.best thing to say is you are not feeling the chemestry but you are sure she will find what she is looking for soon enough.

I've not had anyone say I'm just not their type but have had people just disappear from conversations...I ant say I lose sleep over it, but I do sometimes wonder what happened

No-one appeals to everyone and most people here realise that. I think it is important to say something and the "I am just not feeling the chemistry" approach is a great way to gently say no thanks without knocking someones confidence.

Not so much for body pics, but if someone sends me a face pic and I'm not attracted to them, I just reply with "Not for me, sorry". If they get pushy or funny about it i block them, but most people on here are adult enough to realise we can't all be attractive to everyone.

That is why we like to exchange face and body pics early on, pointless having loads of messages then discovering you don't like the whole package.

I mostly go on face pics and always ask at the beginning of a conversation for a face pic

If I'm not attracted to them then I will wish them well and tell them they are not my type

After having two kids in two years, my body is not what it used to be. I have a very wobbly tummy with a whole heap of stretch marks and weight that I can not seem to shift.

Despite my insecurities, I bit the bullet and sent a full body picture to a guy who had asked to meet and I appreciated that he was honest and said I wasn't for him.

You can't be everyone's cup of tea, just don't be nasty about it.

We post pics of what we look like at our best. I think its safe to say most on here do the same

Very few people ever get to see Boo without makeup or even fewer away from here or after a hard day at work.

None of us look our best all the time, could this be a simple case of her opening up to you and showing what she looks like without the make up, clothing ect ect? If it is the case then its a huge compliment she has felt relaxed enough to show you.

I wouldn't send a naked body picture of myself, too gruesome. I send one of me in my Basque and stockings, as that's how I meet. I don't worry if the man doesn't like the picture, I,d move onto next contestant XXX

Yeah this, I was chatting to a young lady whilst having a torso and face shot in my public gallery, it was getting spicy then she asked for a face shot so I duly obliged, she then said I wasn't for her and agreed with my piss-taking colleagues that I looked in my 40's!!!

I find it's more often the face pic that kills it for me tbh. I much prefer if someone sends a face pic from the off as saves awkwardness later if they aren't my cup of tea.

We've had this a couple of times where message conversation flows, but then the face/body behind it just doesn't quite match. Looks aren't everything, but there needs to be some sort of attraction there.

So now we follow your model and ask for pics up front. Doesn't always work in our favour, we've been on the other end of a disappearing act too when we reciprocated.

I don't send full naked body shots, I don't like it so why should I expect them to. I go by a face pic. If someone is so shallow that they want to see what I look like in the buff to decide whether they want to meet me they can do one!!

I don't think it's unreasonable to want an idea of body shape before meeting, that said I don't think it has to be nude.

Well that you don't have to respond to, but a polite response after you've been sent a private pic is a minimum. I liked the 'chemistry' line.

That's a shame OP. I don't keep a full body pic here either, but as the lady above says I make it clear what size I am. Sometimes just seeing someone in the flesh makes a difference for the better. However, you were honest and if someone said that to me I'd respect their decision.

Body pics don't bother me. I'm more about the face.

Speaking personally. If I were to send you a full body pic and you didnt fancy me, I would prefer for you to just say I wasn't your type, instead of just blocking me. Especially of we had been chatting back and forth

In my case: Flabby; wobbly; fat; stretch marked etc. That's if I get the feeling they would be put off by any of those descriptions.

Firm and pert are two words I wouldn't associate my body with.

Never happens as I have lots of recent face and body pics on fab! I posted one (now on friends) a few days ago because I feel I don't look my best and wouldn't want anyone I met to be disappointed! At least if I know if they're happy meeting the 'real' me then they won't be horrified if I take my clothes off!

Well let's just say do as you wish, can't please everyone. Some want to be left and ignored after, others want a response. Or in future get the pic first and then say sorry not for me. People have to learn to deal with rejection, especially on here, we're not all everyone's cup of tea, so they can like it or lump it.

problem is if until certain photos are sent it was all going well the person will know its on looks.

When we are meeting we send photos on 1st messages as then it saves the time later. X

Going on experience here it def favours ladies and they can be picky and rightly so.

First message I always include an up to date face pic then if I get a reply I know I'm their type.

More often than not tho it's sorry not my type or blocked. If I get the sorry not my type reply I leave a thank you and no harm done

Sounds like you did the right thing and was upfront and honest. This is why I could never understand why people sit and chat for months with people on here without meeting them. This is a prize example for why online should stay about appearances in the first instance. But I think people like to chat so the person can "get to like them" and be forgiving when the pic is sent hahaha.

Be polite as you were and feel no guilt. Preference and attraction is an individual thing so you won't be everyone's taste and everyone's not yours.
