It must be something to do with self perception. Not mentioning any names but someone in this thread describes himself as muscular on his profile, Id definitely say chunky but thats just my opinion.
Most of my pics are recent. You can see me from age 16 to 59. Most are this year. Dye my hair....of course...Maybe when I reach 70 I'll go gray...maybe!!!
legallyblonde: It's very disinheartening to find that a man that you are attracted to has mis-represented himself with ancient pictures. My oldest pic on here is 5 years old and I sincerely just put it on my profile to see how well it would do in rating. Most of my pics are from last week or the week before or at most last month. What are people thinking? That she/he won't notice when they meet that they have aged about 30 years?

I would have used "svelte", but it wasn't an option.

The only real way you can know for sure of what a person looks like is view them on webcam. And sometimes you might just be surprised, pleasantly lets say.
mariola: Because they lie about there age in their profile.
So if they knock of 10 years then they have to put up an old Photo.
Same goes for women, I've only met one that actually looked like their picture. There are other lies as well, I've found that "A few extra pounds" can mean as many as a hundred.

Most people do look better in person then in a photo...you get to see lots more on webcam
TheresMyFriend: I listed myself at 124 years old, so any picture I put, is going to appear too young! Pick your mis-match!
To THERES MY FRIEND, Wow! you just made my day with your comment. It's FUNNY>>>>> THAT'S should be our attitudes in here(CS). Some people forget the words CONNECTING SINGLES!!!. At least we would be connected with sense of humor and good ATTITUDES, not bashing and saying mean to each other!!!!!!!. Have a good one everybody. Liza
well i don't and im sure the vast majority of men do not either. the reason that men might do this is possibly because they get more attention with a pic that makes them look younger than what they really are, which would make problems if they wanted to meet a woman on CS in person
mindfful: is it just me or is each OP by this gal a complaint?
good lord why do people stay where they are unhappy?
i will never understand it and it cant be familiarity+comfort as she is new so whyyyy makes me a bit sad sometimes
It's true that you must not have understood my posts but, Neah....just this subject is my complaint...indeed and I've had misrepresentation by guys with very old photo's happen to me a couple of times. No need to be sad. I'm a very happy person in real life and I'm devoloping some wonderful relationships through this medium. Also, I am not new to the internet dating world. So be of good cheer.

i didnt say you were new online but any thread i have seen so far is a why? and whats wrong theme
you may be happy but maybe your insides arent matching your outsides? food for thought-or not

I posted some new pics somewhere near the front of this thread? Have they gone out of date yet? Should I keep asking this after every 5-6 pages of this 'debate'?
