Why do people who are seriously seeking someone post photo's at least 5 years old? Do they think it makes a good first impression when you meet someone in real life and they look so much older? Its a big shock and a complete turn-off.

Don't lie about your age and post an up-to-day pic, there's no excuse these days for not having one in this age of smart phones. I'd rather someone be honest, because to me a very old pic is a form of lying and deceit.

But do you realise that people mightn't want to meet them with an up to date photo in the first place and miss the opportunity to be totally overwhelmed by their wit and charm? wow

But surely you can't be that superficial that you mind that the someone in front of you could be your father! scold rolling on the floor laughing

All the men I've met so far looked exactly like they did on their profile pictures - some of them looked even better!

Don't give up hope and trust because of some fools.

That's my point though, why do something that people may dislike if they're trying to get people to like them?

I'd rather see no pic at all than an old one, at least they're not effectively using false advertising then, I don't mind ugly if they have a great personality (well not too ugly), just don't like lies :)

yep, your point of view, suzy, is quite understandable and reasonable...

the problem is...it is not theirs grin

you (you personanly and them) have different outlook as to how to act in an online dating world...

you could consider it as a weeding tool...
