FFS, what's the point - if you're going to meet someone they'll soon see you don't look like that anymore!

Met a guy today & I reckon his photo must have been at LEAST 10 years old! He was an ok guy but I don't like dishonesty. I mean, my picture was taken last week, so anyone who wants to meet me knows what they're getting.

Thats what I don't understand? why do people do that when obviously you are going to meet someone and they are going to thing WTF, its really not fair to the other person. Put your real pic up people and make it recent.wine

Yeah, I have a picture of myself looking really hot - unfortunately it is 15 years old! I'm sure if I put it up as my profile picture I would get plenty of replies (anyone is welcome at this point to say I don't look too bad for an old baglaugh )

psuedonym: if you two are old bags i'm looking forward to my time in the nursing home i put my profile up on here then realised i didnt have a pic so i took it with my phone there and then, much better than an old pic coz it's fuzzy and hard to see but i'm being honest with a recent pic lol


I did the same thing - took my photo then and there with my phone! I don't think it's a good one, but I am usually the one taking the photos, so don't have many (any) of me. I have some great ones that are getting on a bit (like me), but I figured being honest about who I am now was more important.

By the way - hi to you all - my first post on the forums after staying in the wings and watching for a while.handshake

Sorry, but I think posting an old photo is plain false advertising, you don't look like that anymore, so why pretend you do?

Nah sorreee guys do''nt agree with the old pic thing....i think anything up to about 2yrs old is fine but not friggin 20 yrs old, thats just NOT who they/we are anymore.....and why bulls..t like that if your serious about meeting people then just be who you are, there is nothing nicer than pure simple honesty cheers
