I put a really hot photo up, along with an average looking one so they know what I look like without perfect make-up, angle and lighting.
Yeah so there's a mix. People look good on some days and not so much on other days.
Exactly. :)
Men use the same tactics.. Face only shots " average" or " few extra pounds" for body type.
Lie about age and height.
I didn't say just girls do it. I just listed more things about women due to my experiences.
Maybe you need to get off the net and date in the real world more? You seem awfully picky for someone who seems to do most of his dating online.
Oh trust me, I'd much prefer dating in the real world. It's just harder to meet women in real life. I'm not that picky but I'm also not desperate. Most women I've met don't use misleading pictures but that's not the point.
Then why write a take about it? Or instead of playing nice guy try putting "no fat chicks... ever" in your profile that way they know.
You're missing the point. The point is, regardless of what you look like, don't lie about it. That is all. This is not a fat shaming post. In fact there have been girls I have met who honestly put a few extra pounds, overweight, as their body type. The thing was I knew going in.
And I did have another girl recently that I talked to have misleading pictures, who sent me a pic through texting and she ended up being much bigger and had a double chin. But the bigger turnoff was she couldn't hold a conversation.
and no I'm not gonna put "no fat chicks" on my profile
Of course you're not bc you want to come across as a "nice" guy. Newsflash dude you so called "nice guys" are waaay more annoying and calculating than "players" because you never say it like it is up front. Most of us chicks are hip to your game so do yourself a favor and get real.
As if women post "no short guys" on their profile.
@EnigmaStigma a male or female can date whoever they want. Everyone cares about looks to an extent. Just because someone doesn't want to date someone because they aren't physically attractive to them doesn't make them an asshole and what you are saying is dumb about him putting ''no fat chicks.'' There are plenty of women on online dating sites that don't want short guys, or guys that are below average looking that don't put that as their title.
The difference is a majority of men don't like fat chicks whereas a lot of chicks really don't care about height, those are your insecurities getting the better of you. Im just saying if its such a huge problem for you be up front from the start to weed those girls out. The only reason you won't is because you think it will hurt your chances with more attractive women.
Jesus fucking Christ, you're missing the point again. The issue isn't that they're overweight. The issue is the deception. If a girl is overweight, I'm not gonna insult her but I'd rather know up front. There have been girls who openly put a few extra pounds, overweight, etc in their profile that I met. Difference was I knew going in.
And by the way I did have a girl ask me what my height was even though I put it on my profile. How do you think it'd sound if I asked how many pounds she weighed?
And it's not a black and white thing. As I've mentioned before, a girl with a little bit of thickness, chubbiness can still be cute. It's obesity that I'm not attracted to.
Shit but I'm photogenic.
In real life I ain't so photogenic.
Well like I said, there's a difference between taking your best looking photos and flat out misrepresenting yourself. I understand the first part.
Hahahaha I'll make sure to include some ugly ass photos of myself just to be prepared hahahaha :D
This take was so entertaining to read and had great advice for woman and guys! I rate it 100/10!
Thanks. Yeah some people think this is insulting or shaming people's appearance but that couldn't be further from the truth.
After all, most people don't like surprises when it comes to dating.
if there's no real difinitive body shot you can surely assume she's heavy and embarrassed about it
Yep, very true. Especially if she only sends face shots through text.
This is why I don't do the whole online thing. Pics I take look stunning, I look so so good in photos, it's nothing at all like me in real life. Nowhere near.
I think that chick in the picture is hot! I'd hit that, for real!
I use misleading pictures all the time I always put pictures of when I was fat or terrible angles doing the double chin picture lol
Girls tend to do this much more often than men.
True
We live in a pathetic world full of pathetic people.
Girls also spend hours making themselves appear better looking than they really are with makeup, lipstick, etc.
I DON'T LIE ABOUT MYSELF. THIS IS RICHARD AND IT'S A VERY GOOD NAME!!!
Yet your still a fat fuck😂
Basically girls who ONLY have pics of their face
Not always. There are ones who have used pictures at angles or just flat out outdated pics.
well those too
Great Take, I agree... completely.
Well, it worked for my ex.
How so?
He became my boyfriend, despite using a 5+ yr old pic.
Well did he look very different?
His body probably not, but his face did. What I liked about that pic the most were his eye shape and his smile. In real life, he had gappy teeth and the eyes of a frog.
Fatsoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I agree !! Nice take
Agreed
