Why is there such a lack of transparency regarding weight and body type with OD?

Life is short. Do a cold approach. If your worst answer is "no" it,isn't the end of the world.
No is far from the worst possible answer.

It's amusing that anyone would even think of requiring "transparency" regarding weight and body type. On another site I've even read guys complaining if a woman wore a pushup bra, because that indicates a lack of transparency regarding her boob size and type ... I guess.

 

Read the words, look at whatever picture is there, and meet the person if you feel like meeting them. If you're both attracted and there's chemistry, great. If not, say bye.

I'm sure you would be upset or angry if a guy posted a profile pic of himself getting out of a Lamborghini and saying he's a successful investment banker, only to find out he's the teller at the local TD bank and he photoshopped the Lambo instead of his Toyota....

 

You might also cry foul if a 5'3" guy took a pic of himself standing on a platform, only showing himself from the waist up and giving the appearance that he was 6'3"

 

I dont use OLD and never would, and I am not in that game...but hearing the stories from guys who do, they might as well post pics of supermodels., as they tell me that almost never do they meet a woman that isn;t at least 30/40 lbs heavier than the photo would indicate...

I don't date guys; also, I don't believe that a woman's body type or man's height equates to a job or a car.

 

I have used OLD and have not felt like a consumer entitled to "truth in advertising." I'm more the type to do my own due diligence, I guess. If I've felt drawn to someone enough to take the chance of meeting them, that's what I do. If they turn out to be fat, short or have a crappy ride it's really no skin off my back.

It's tough on OLD. I try to be honest although I put on weight and I'm not happy about it. It's getting me less interest than I used to and I'm not being cocky because it is the kind of guys I would attract if I met them in person and about the same level of attractiveness as previous boyfriends. I'd hope someone would give me the benefit of the doubt. I don't date men based on looks. I judge if there's shared chemistry/interests.

Your world must be pleasant. In a man's world of OLD, things are different. We are expected to pay for a date. Ok, that's fine.
I'm a man. In my personal version of a man's world, paying for a drink or coffee doesn't represent any kind of a problem, even if it turns out I'm buying it for a fat woman. As I said before, if my interest was piqued by the profile and whatever picture I saw, she's "worth" the price of that beverage and the modest amount of time I'll spend with her while she drinks it.
Girl uses misleading photos that make us think she might be attractive, when she is not, just so that we can meet her. How are we supposed to respond to this? Be happy that we were lied to? Be happy about spending our money and time on a girl who intentionally lied to us in order to get our intention? It is either this, or tell a girl the moment we meet her that she is fat in real life, and her lies convince me that she is not worth our time or money. I am sure the ladies would respond to that sort of rejection well.
I'm sorry, but I simply don't relate to your concerns. Has it occurred to you that women are taking the exact same chance as we are of meeting a person who doesn't look like their photos? We're all in this online dating thing together; it's a hit or miss adventure. I may have a higher tolerance for risk than you do. I respect that these are significant problems for you, and for that, you have my condolences.
