Hi all out there and beyond.I have got a few hours to kill so I start this new thread.I met someone once who kept sending me 12 year old pics,where that particular lady looked absolutely fabulous.We started dating and it came to a face to face meeting.I walked past right past her since I didn"t recognize the person.

Quite confused would be the right phrase describing my state of mind then.

Did anything like that happen to any of you ?

I understand the desire of both men and women to look the best but misrepresenting yourself borders on stupidity since if the relationship moves forward the truth will come out.

I am up for a good laugh or even just a harmless snicker.If you have a good story to share make this a funny thread.

Not the age but height...I met him in a bar and even though he was perched on a stool I could tell straight away he was shorter than my 5'8...He jumped down to shake hands and I swear he resembled an escapee garden gnome..I was shocked but he appeared not to notice I was looking down on his bald patch all night...I could even tell you the number of dandruff flakes..I swear never again!!!!

women I have met on dating sites have been pretty honest about looks and age. In fact, one I had a date with was even more beautiful in person than her picture.

However, a lady that I met locally has lied about her age, which put a crack in our relationship, that has now ended.

NEXT!

Ha, ha--it's kinda funny. I've had only two face to face meeting with guys I met on-line. To my relief, they recognized me right away, and I them. How stupid to post and send photos that don't look like you--unless you never plan to meet!

My buddies fixed me up on a blind date once..
I spoke to the man briefly on the phone before we met for dinner.. he described himself to me so that I could recognise him. He said he was 5'10.

I too walked past him.. hahaha

5'10 my arse!..

I'm 5'6 5'7 (not sure).. and he was shorter than ME!

I find some people are more photogenic than others. One guy looked better in his photo's than in real life. And yes they were recent.

yeah that's absolutely right.. some people do look better in real life. (and some don't)

I dunno how I look as others see me in RL.. but I know I'm not very photogenic.

(that means getting snapped from any angles and still looking good btw)

they are the bonus ones...

I don't get turned away straight up if slightly disappointed...I like to have a conversation and give them the opportunity to express themselves but an obvious lie is a turn off...

True story...My friend dated a 'woman' for some time...one night on the settee they were getting fresh and he had a feel..imagine his surprise when he felt a penis...The 'shemale' was disgusted in HIM that he felt betrayed...

Been lucky no bullshiters apart from a married guy but caught him out before meeting. I'm pretty shrewd when it come down to it.

Thankfully i'm the same, in reverse! The pics i have make me look like shit! So when anyone actually meets me they are surprised i'm actually quite normal and i don't have a cats arse in my face.

I am recognisable from my pics, it is me but someow dressed up in nice clothes without a cat and a smirk its amazing how people can look different.

When i went to Dublin one person in particular was quite amazed how different i looked! Mind you i looked like crap there too, something to do with a green fleece hat and walking around in the pissing rain all the time
