I would be interested to see why they did it, then walk away.
I erase their profile .. I can't beleive CS would screw with someone's profile like that!

The why is simple, they're insecure about something about themselves, and don't want you to know at first, cause they think you won't be interested if you know. And that it won't matter once you find out. 
Might work for some, not for me.alabamabebe: The why is simple, they're insecure about something about themselves, and don't want you to know at first, cause they think you won't be interested if you know. And that it won't matter once you find out. Might work for some, not for me.
A lie is a lie to me and I csn't abide liars, but there is this weird streak in me that has to satisfy itself as to why someone would do that, so I sit and listen and learn.......... then leave.
Here's what I think you're entitled to do - and should do - Darlynda: tell the person politely but firmly that since s/he lied about appearance or other important points that you will now be taking your leave.
The most awkward moment might be the initial meeting. You walk into a restaurant or whatever and see the person is 10 years older or 100 lbs. heavier than their photos. I believe one would be completely justified in saying to them what I wrote above, but very few of us would find that an easy task.

Well it's not very clever to start off lying even before you meet someone, so is it worth it, afterall the truth always comes out in the end..
I'd slap them about the chops after placing their caesar salad bowl on their heads....

I would refuse to meet someone until after we chat using a web cam and video like on MSN or Skype or Sight Speed. That way you can see what they look and sound like live. Nothing is better then LIVE image.
Of course that cant prevent them from lieing still about how old they are or other things but it helps.

I dont know why people lie..if they plan to meet anyone...it really dont make any senceIt makes no sense to me why someone would lie, since if planning to meet will be caught. Since I am not meeting anyone I can lie all I want.
I confronted the person but otherwise kept my mouth shut about it maybe I should have said something more? 
maybe I should have said something more? KILL THEM!!!!
shipoker55: KILL THEM!!!!
not a bad idea...
jkjampet: why would you lie on your profile- doesn't make sense to me
Some guy told me he was 5'8" Then made plans with me when I said I was 5'5". He was 5'2" at best. Even if he said 5'3"or something shorter than me, that would have been fine to know. When I had to look down to meet him, I was done. I had already said I liked short guys. If he hadn't lied, things might have been different. Hard to make yourself 5'8" when you're really 5'2" A 5'5" chick might notice.
If it's a profile lie, I toss everything and leave.
Luckily for me, a guys girlfriend sent me an e-mail. I don't put too much into this.
Dont_Look_Now: I confronted the person but otherwise kept my mouth shut about it maybe I should have said something more?
Why? What did you have invested? Some e-mails, some minutes?
"Thanks, nice to meet you!", then they go away. Done deal. What's the problem?
metalartist989: the problem is you could have been meeting someone real... instead of wasting your time with some idiot who's lied about their appearance, skin condition, weight, age, etc...
Exactly...why lie? Aren't we all adults here? shipoker55: KILL THEM!!!!
i never met in person ppl known from internet so i cannot answer this question...guess i would just give up keeping the contact with him/her (unless they really had a good reason for telling me lies
)
