I have seen the whiners and complains go on about people not having a photo up...but which is really worse...no photo or a fake photo?
Consider this...a fake photo gives you false expectations of another and is pure deception...a photo of a beautiful woman...who is not really a beautiful woman...but a man posing as a woman...or scammers with photos of hot women on the profiles...trying to catch men out.
I have seen woman's profiles with group photos or photoshopped to make a woman like slim...when she is far from it maybe deception is contagious on many dating profiles and genuine is rare

To the best of my knowledge, none of my friends use photoshop. Maybe it's something younger men and women do? I don't know and I don't lose one moment of sleep over it.

Do you agree with photo shopped photos Would you loose sleep if it was a guy you were going on a first date with and discovered he was not the same guy in the photo or it was a much younger fitter version of him...or he put a banana down his pants to make things seem much bigger

I don't agree or disagree with photoshop. To each his own. There are far greater issues in the world to lose sleep over.
I have met men who have posted outdated photos, some I didn't even recognize. I stayed for the coffee, made some friends along the way or enjoyed some interesting chat, and go on with my day.

Many things are going on...but it's one subject at a time I could talk a lot about very serious problems on a global scale...but that thread won't stay up...
I noticed your new photo and maybe you smiled when you were reading all my great threads It will do it for most women who read them
LeeCharming: If you don't have a photo up...it can't be stolen...
I don't see any problems with profiles that have no photo, as long as the profile itself is not fake, I think it's better to have no photo than a fake one. Me Think,doh:
With no photo you could be pleasantly surprised...if you’re lucky. With a fake photo though it’s more likely to be a deluded old bag. At least with no photo, no lies have been told.
Having a fake profile or having someone without a Photo has nothing to do with being honest, it has to come from within, there are a alot of dishonest people period, you just have to smart about it and can differentiate the difference
It's better a fake photo because after it is detected a fake immediately can blocks the profile. Without photos it's hard to guess because you have to be exchanging messages for days and imagine how the persons looks. I'm often disappointed after being forced to exchange emails just to see the original photo which turns out to be far from expectations. For example, that person has a beard like Moses which (sorry to say) I don't like but ends up in an uncomfortable situation. It is like a trap I want to delete it, but it doesn't feel nice, if from the beginning I knew the original was like that, I certainly didn't want to chat.

I didn't vote I think having a photo up or not having one has nothing to do with honesty. Some people don't have photos up for their own reasons. If you get to know them or ask them in a nice way they might share with you why if you really want to know. I know you have a thing about makeup and that is all good and fine for you. I myself love makeup. Do I wear it all the time. No. I have posted profile photos without make up. But I have since I was a young girl been interested in make up. Kind of like an art form. Do I consider it as being dishonest. No. I would hope if someone fell in love with me they would fall in love with the inside me. Who I am. How I treat people. Things I like to do. How I live my life. My principles and personality. I know I know I hear all the time that men are visual creatures. But the man for me if he is out there will see past the exterior and into my heart. Just wanted to say my two cents on photos.

1. But fake photos could be taken of women in public place and not just stolen online...so know what is real and a fake photos...can be very hard to detect...You could get to know a man without judging him by a photo and apparently women are less....superficial than men... when it comes to looks
2. you are not being force..though and you chose to exchange messages with those men...you can block or ignore messages...you are not a victim
3. oh so it's all about a mans looks for you and not about anything he may tell you about himself...cause he could a great guy...with a kind heart...well mannered...good personality etc...but you would reject him solely on the ways he looks

No need to vote...a comment is more interesting. 1. Yes i don't think makeup does women any favours...like a fake photo...makeup is deceptive and you can't see the real person...but makeup companies make billions...so they won't want the cash cows...to stop spending on it and making them people very rich
2. I think women wear makeup...due to insecurity....and your comment ranforced my reasoning...you want a man to see beyond all the deceptive makeup...but you don't trust a man...to judge you on how you really look and when he does...is it a negative reaction you get?
