Hahaha Nitsua! But really, it has nothing to do with superficiality and everything to do with honesty and integrity. If they lie about their age, what they look like now, what else will they lie about?

Been there had it done did the date and laughed it off even during the date. Heck I'm one if I have something to say or ask I will face to face....it happens....
Always be prepared for a meet don't expect more then one should. If it happens it does but don't make the person out to be more then they are. You can look at pictures or cam all day you never get to meet the real person till you're face to face....then reality sits in. Therefore myself I don't go thinking this may be the one instead with the thoughts of this could be a friendship instead if more happens then cross that bridge when it does.. |

i agree there is no point people lying. that's why i agree with camming it is good clean fun and good the juices flowing without having to be caught out thinking of someone and you get there and its not them.
sorry you were let down like that. good luck for your future meets. |

I have met a few men from a different site,they looked like they did in the pics,just personality was different then I thought they were.So just because they look the same it doesn't mean that other things about them are true.

If they lie about their age, what they look like now, what else will they lie about? I know I was being facetious. I find most women don't want to cam tho. So, it's really a two-way street. I have found that if the profile pic is on, like, old polaroid instant film or something, chances are they don't look like that anymore... |

I'm no techie, but I do believe there are programs now that can actually tell the exact date, time and the camera used of a photo. Of course, it may not be applicable to every picture, but it is a useful tool if you want to verify the date of the photograph. I think these programs work on digital pictures. I've visited a couple of sites that actually showed the complete details of mine. If I remember correctly, I think Picassa is one? I'm not really sure. You can consult with someone who may know these things and ask them. Also, you can also ask for a picture with a date stamp or something to that effect. Just wanted to share this in case it can help anyone. :) |

I just went on a greet and meet this week.Met a man i had been chatting with for a while from another site.He flew in for a couple days,rented a car and motel room.I agreed to a date new years eve.He emailed me his room number and motel name.When i got there i knocked on the door,he answered it. I was shocked,had to look real hard to fine the person that i had been chatting with on line.He had to be twenty years older,80 lbs. lighter then the photos he had on his account.Why do people do this,it changed every thing,i felt like he had tricked me.why not be honest up front if you are really serious about meeting someone. Are they in self- denial about their looks,do they think they still look the same 20 years later?Makes no sense to me.. |

I think sometimes we idealize those
we have not met. I know I do. Though I try not to. But you can get to know someone really well, until you feel they are just the ticket for you. The meet can be a crap shoot. People will put forward their best stuff. You have had a 'live and learn' experience, as have some of us. Those not tied so much to 'looks' seem to do better. Yours was odd, in that he was skinnier, surely a good thing? A 20-year old picture however, breaks all the assumed rules. There is a gal above me, that I wanted to warn away from someone when I saw it heading that way. But a friend, of both of us, warned me against it. So I said nothing. It went bust. I am sorry. |
