frozensolid: What would shock me? "The Crying Game" all over dude!
If you´re talking about online dates, then what has done many times...picture and profile differing widely from the reality!
How can somebody say that they are outgoing and enjoy socialising in a profile, yet when you meet them they look about 10 years older and confess they go to bed at 10.30 every night!
In Spain NOBODY goes to bed at 10.30, that´s dinner time and afterwards out in the street regardless of age.
How can somebody say in a profile they are fit and active, yet when you meet them they have a heart problem and take anti-depressants?
Cynical? A little!
