Imported Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 It's happened to me many times and 90% of the women lie about their age or used faded photos or old photos. They probably have that disease where they think they look at least 10 years younger than they actually are and everyone they know thinks they're late 20's, early 30's at most even though they're in their 40's. And there's plenty of 20 to 30 year old guys that are attracted to them. For a blowjob. In the parking lot or backseat of a car. And please do not remove that mask you refer to as "make-up". What's the point of misrepresenting one's appearance? It's not like your date is not going to see your appearance when you finally meet up. Sure, you may trick someone into meeting up with you, but your lie is going to hurt you more than your imperfect appearance. It's a waste of your own time. It's a waste of time AND MONEY if you're a guy. Not only do you get to stay around a chick you know on first sight you have zero interest in, but you also get to pay for her meal lol. Never happened to me because I don't online date. I did at one time consider if it did happen, I'd just humor her and let her down easy, but if there's one thing I have learned from rejecting women that approach me that I have no interest in is that no matter what I say it will turn in to them being highly insulted and then every cliché in the book about how I look will be thrown at me at high volume. **** that. I'll just walk away. And send her a txt/electronic communication that she should go home and keep looking....for someone else. Best thing to do is just not do online dating. Maybe we should have events or more events where large numbers of people meet up in person, but have no expectations of having to do anything with anyone. Maybe serve beverages, like alcohol and some finger foods you can snack on. Possibly have a DJ to play music and MC somewhat. There's no expectation that you have to do anything with anyone, but we all know why we're here. So women are more receptive to guys they actually want and guys are more likely to approach even if they know they'll be shoot down. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Both men and women have a self-perception of what they look like that very often is very different from what they actually look like. I know I have always been that way, so I try to get photos that look like the image of myself I have in my head. Because the others don't look like me the way I see myself. I usually hate photos of myself. And to throw the photoshoppers a bone, photos are imperfect two-plane images that DO make your face look different, places look flatter, your neck look like it's part of your face, etc. I have corrected those type things for 20 years. I only photograph well outside in natural light or sometimes professionally. I think a lot of people would benefit from just going outside to take the photos. It removes some of the deceptive shadows. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Spider Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 (edited) I saw a documentary about King Henry VIII today. He used a 16th century Tinder in that he had a painter, Hans Holbein the Younger, paint portraits of potential new wives in their exact likeness. He had some trouble finding a girl who would match him because of his tendency to chop off their heads, but he settled on Anne of Cleves. He liked her pic and she traveled from afar to meet him. Unfortunately, when they met, he didn't think she looked anything like her pic! He felt he got 'catfished'. The marriage was annulled because he claimed he was so unattracted to her he couldn't consummate their marriage. But she was fortunate. His next wife got her head chopped.
