Topic: FAKE PICTURE POSTERS

usually there is a real pic somewhere in the profile
sometimes there's not.

who cares?


I care, as well as a lot of other people. This is to everyone: If it's a picture of a car or some other non-offensive object, creature or famous person, that's fine. But posting a fake (human, of course) picture of yourself, trying to pass that picture off as you is completely shady and dishonest. As much as personality matters, so does physical attraction. I'm not going to fault anyone for meeting someone in person and then running the other way when it turns out that that person looks nothing like their picture.

It's not just the physical aspect of it, but the honesty aspect. Letting someone think you look one way just to get that person to date you and then say, "Hey, I guess you never really cared about me if you are going to let a little thing like what I look like break us up" when that person wants to back out is hardly any different than a woman trying to trap a man by saying she's pregnant when she's really not. If it's as simple as not caring about looks, then that person would not have presented a fake picture in the first place and would have trusted his or her personality to see them through.

Talking with someone over the Internet is not that much different than talking with someone in person. Imagine that in-person person suddenly having a different face the next day. It would be an extremely weird and difficult situation. You would feel as though you are talking with a stranger, no matter how much in common that person has with you as did "the previous person." When I think of my loved ones, the first thing I think of is their faces. I'm pretty sure all people do. We do not simply love the personality but the package the personality comes in as well -- the face.

To the poster of this thread, if you mean any of this, I completely see where you are coming from.

Damn I just fell in love, and didnt look at the picture.....

well i don't mean that looks don't matter
looks matter. but looks are not the most
important thing. you don't want to be with
an unkind person no matter how great they
look.

also, no matter what they look like today,
they will look different in a few years...

some of the most interesting people on this
site use various pictures to capture their
mood or just don't want someone to judge them
solely based on their amazing good looks.

if you get to be good friends with anyone
on here or anywhere else for that matter then
you will eventually find out what they really
look like.

but since i'm not looking for anything but
friendship it absolutely makes no difference
to me at all.

Agreed to a point, but if someone looks hideous, or has no teeth, how are you really supposed to get past that?

Well If thats the case then I'm screwed.

Or not. sad frustrated


LOL. No, you're okay.

And, s1owhand, I know what you mean, of course. I have no problem with fun pictures like you and others in this thread described/display.

To everyone else who complimented my post, thank you. All of you seem like great people. Maybe I will start to post more often, at the suggestion of one in this thread.

Take care, everyone.

Forbes, you have brains along with beauty, it is hard enough to find one or the other, let alone both; So it would be a pleasure to talk with you again.
