Okay, I have done it. Let me explain.
I have been chatting back and forth with someone on another site. He had a picture posted, rather attractive, medium build, 6'. We were having great chatting sessions and after about 1 month or so, I decide to give him my phone number to call me. Prior to this, he had given me his number asking me to call, but I was not comfortable yet.

So, we chat on the phone for about another month. He had been asking all along for a date, dinner or lunch. I'm not there yet, so I tell him this. He is okay with it. Time passes when I finally say, yes I will meet for lunch. Well, today was that day.

I agreed to meet him at a nice lunch place. He said he would meet me outside. Okay, so I am not far from this place, so I walk over. I see a man standing outside the restaurant. As I am approaching, still at a distance, I am thinking, "Please, that cannot be him". Then I notice that a couple of women are walking by and he is checking out their behinds. When I get closer he recognizes me and smiles, my thought is "this can't be".
He is not 6 feet, he is at most 5'7", he is also bald, with a mustache and a huge gut. He looked nothing at all like his picture. In fact, if he were inside the restaurant waiting, I would have walked right past him not knowing it was him and thought I was stood up!

Needless to say, when I left and he leaned in to kiss me, I turned and walked away.

I would like to know this; What makes a person be so incredibly non-accurate about what they look like, and think that a person wouldn't notice the difference??? What makes someone do this? Don't they know that once you meet them you will know that they lied about themselves and there would be no chance at all of ever getting a 2nd date?

I have decided this is my first and last date with someone online. I am much more comfortable meeting someone in the Home Depot, the super market, or just about anywhere else. Much less chance of meeting a fraud.

Not everyone is honest about themselves online. Sorry to say, but I've had a similar thing happen to me!! Good luck to you!

Thank you. It is very frustrating because you take the time to feel comfortable enough to meet someone, and they are not as they led you to believe.

The plumbing department is the best spot for pick-ups.

I have met a few men and they looked like there pic,but they just weren't for me.

It may be a good idea to webcam with them once or twice or to ask if the picture is really of them.

the tool section works wonders too

I'm glad I could help Good luck!!

just

(This is for the starter of this thread: )

Hey, I don't look like the skyline of Toronto either.

But I am 5'4".

Feel better?

That's why every profile should have 1 full body shot and 1 close-up head shot.

That shows their teeth.

ive been both pleased and disappointed. misrepresentation does blow

My Pics are updated as I get older, The latest is 7 days old. Some people must be nuts, He is one of them.

Well, these things happen...and it's sad...but don't throw away all future experiences because of this bad one. Ask for more than one photo...if he's hesitant...red flag! Keep trying...

Tool section Hmmmm Fran Tool section

I keep telling everyone about Mrs. Doubtfire and Brandy Taylor (Porn Star) saga no one seems to believe me

I dont understand why guys do this either it's just dumb but I've found a way to weed them out.


I make them send a pic from there phone and not one copied off of a computer take an actual pic on your phone and send it to me.

And I have no problem doing it myself either I get that question all the time is that really you on those pics yes they are really me.

And I've actually been told I look better in person.

So I guess thats a good thing

Oh Buttah. I'm left to wonder if you are really a cute little cat. Hmmm...

Those in the know webcam ... PERIOD ...

C'mon, they are cheap ... everyone can and should do it ...
