If you went to meet someone and their appearance was not as you perceived?

well id call them out first of all. then leave. why date someone that feels they have to lie to get a woman/man.

<---- No, really, that's me!

I'd tell them, I have no time for liars.

So you wouldn't accept even a drink?

I believe you

Interesting way to phrase the question. Our perception is not the same as someone deliberately misleading us. Can you clarify?

look into their heart.....I'm sure they would turn beautiful right before my eyes!

Mitch I anticipated someone would ask so I looked it up To become aware of directly through any of the senses, especially sight or hearing.

perhaps if the meeting were at a bar

. No not true. Once met a man who was nothing like he said he looked. Turned out he was a beautiful man on the inside such made him beautiful on the outside and it was over coffee! (love ya pat!)

little morning humor i was making an attept at I'm sure its whats inside counts experience proves this true

I understood the meaning. I was asking more for others who do not seem to be clear on the question.

Our perception, especially of people we only know online, can be fooled. Senses can be deceived. However this is NOT NECESSARILY (and often times not at all) the fault of the person whose appearance we misconstrued. There have been times when I literally had to say to a woman "NO! This is not what I am!" Part of the problem with perception of online friends is that it is often mixed in with our fantasy images.

I try not to base attraction on my perception of what someone looks like. It can be difficult since we do tend to gravitate towards those we are attracted to. I'm happy, even if the appearance is not what I perceived, to enjoy a pleasant time out with someone as long as they have not deliberately mislead me.

very good answer I like to word my questions in a way that is up for each posters own inturpetation I don't base my attraction solely on looks myself takes a deeper connection than whats on the outside for me looks fade

It is interesting to see how many people automatically jump to how the person mislead them rather than giving some thought to the word "perception."

thats what happens when you fall in love with a picture

the assumption i think was that perceived was a sort of deception

Yes, you are correct. However, perception is within the self and often has little to do with deception.

Well if your perception of the person was off, doesn't that make it your problem not theirs?

it was a tricky question as meant to be
