Why would you choose to use a picture of yourself that was taken 5, 10, maybe 15 years ago knowing darn well that you dont look like that any more?

Its kind of like false advertising isnt it?

I don't want anyone to know that I'm really 73

I often wonder the same thing.

Yep, it would be deceiving if you played it off as a modern day photo.

self delusion?

tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies....LMAO

I was just having a conversation about that the other day...
doesn't make much sense does it.....
I drove to Salt Lake City for a date once and he was 14 years older than he was portraying himself...weird.

I use some of my old pics to catch predators for dateline NBC.

You had me fooled...lol.

Make any money doing that?

OK,,,
WHO THE SNITCH??????????????????????????????????

Yeah, but the police always take it saying it's "evidence".

Lmao well all of mine are current at least within the last year most more recent.


But not hey I looked good back then if I did post those pictures heck I might actually get a date. heheheh

Lol...I dont see it being a problem if you have up to date pics up as well. But you will see guys that have ther shirt off looking all lean and you can tell it was years ago. And women with next to nothing on...but you can tell by the hair do that it was taking 10 years ago...ha ha!!

It's called being delusional.

Ohhhh I know what ya mean actually I would not post my pictures on my profile that were taking 10 years ago. Shehehe time has caught up with me and to let someone think that is what I look like now well just not kewl.

I know what your saying I see it all the time. And it makes me wonder do they really just like to punish themselves for if they meet someone with those pretenses it never turns out good.

I would rather show what I look like and give them the chance to pass me up from the beginning. Not into making myself look like a fool nor any unnecessary hurt.

Years ago I used to hang out in chat rooms and this guy showed me a pic of a "hot guy." After about an hour or so of chat, he admits the pic isn't him and then shows his real pic. About 20 years older and scarier-looking with a bunch of gray hair wearing a kerchief of the Confederate flag, turned out the first pic was his brother, if he even knew the guy at all. His excuse was, "if you knew what I looked like you wouldn't talk to me." Um, yeah, but that's my choice. I've never understood people who set out to mislead others, if you get rejected 'cause of how you look, get over it, but lying is just stupid.

The only way I could understand that...is if after you saw the real pic, you had already feel in love with his personality.

But thats rare..and I still think its stupid. Its a from of lieng. And one lie leads to another.

Eh, I'd be afraid of someone who claimed they had fallen in love in less than two hours. Besides, I don't forgive easily, and that lie was dumb.

Oh I know, but there are those that do claim to fall in love that quick. And I forgive...after I've gotten revenge.
