I'm an impostor. I'm really seoulsearch's second account.
"AbigailZeke" is my younger, much smarter, and much more beautiful counterpart. :D

And, unlike Clark Kent and Superman, Abi and I have mastered being in the same place at the same time. :p

I'm not saying I'm any given superhero, but have you ever seen me with them at the same place and time?

This is a great topic. When I separated from my ex in 2012, I had a look around on the singles sites just to see what it was like. What I noticed on one particular site, cracked me up. Now I've heard of people living two lives before, but that one site had certain ladies pics (the same person/pic) not only in different towns in my state, but the state next to mine as well.

For example, one lady who supposedly lived in a small town 1 1/2 miles from me, also lived in one 30 miles south of me, along with another town far away in my state. Do they really think...

P.S. This thread is also based on my own experience.

During the first year or so of my own online dating adventures, a guy contacted me who had pictures that looked like a model. This set off my warning bells right off the bat because (and I wrote another thread about this a long time ago), I don't attract guys who look like models. It's not that it's not possible, it's just that I know my whole life, guys who look like that have never tried to talk to me.

This is why I think it's important to know whom you attract online vs. in real life, because if there's a sharp difference, it might mean you're representing yourself in a much different way online. Being realistic can save a person a lot of heartache.

When I cautiously complimented this guy's pictures... he brushed it off with, "Oh, my sister's a photographer. She can make anyone look like a model." Well... uh... For instance, in one picture he was shirtless... and chopping wood. Sorry, but that was another red flag (it looked way too staged and all geared towards getting attention.)

Long story short--not only was this person not the guy in the picture--but he was married. Unless, of course, he was lying about that, too.

Be careful out there, folks. One thing I love about the CC Singles community is that I think, in our own way, we all try to look out for each other.
I
just discovered and watches some episodes of catfish dealing with that very thing. It happens all the time!! I used to be on dating sites alot and none of the guys I talked to did not look like their photos because I met most of them and some of them I became good friends with online and talked to on the phone so I was blessed to have sincere people in my life I am friends with to this day...

I always try to update my profile pics I even feel guilty if I use a pic on my profile which is a few years old. For instance, I am on this site on and off... probably because I remember to open facebook but not this when I am home from work :)
I noticed the photo I had was about 3 years old so I changed it to one taken the beginning of this year on my birthday.

I would never think of using someone else's photo ... unless it was a meme or something...then it's obvious it's not me ..
and it's odd to me someone would do so..

For the record, the feline in my avatar is MUCH more handsome than I. He can't help it though, most felines are just handsome by nature.


Kim you mentioned a picture of yourself, but from years (and pounds... your words, not mine!) ago. I have another monkey wrench to throw in. What about with makeup? No I'm not preaching against makeup. But the purpose of makeup is to make your face look different. If one would not use a picture from years ago, would one use a picture wearing makeup?

Just something to ponder. Where is the line, and how do you know where to draw it?

some things are for only the closest friends to see...I don't think not wearing make up needs to be posted if that isn't how you live most of your life? if you work, go to church etc....and are a makeup wearer (Which not all women are) then by all means wear makeup. If you spend most of your waking hours without makeup...then that's YOU.
if someone wants to see me without makeup...then they need to come near me, be my friend and/or boyfriend/husband or whatever...then they get to see that side of me :) BTW makeup isn't to make your face look different but to enhance beauty like polish on a good piece of wood....many women look tired without it.. I am one of them... and I feel more dressed at work or church wearing makeup. not a lot mind you but some.

Wearing makeup isn't hiding and not posting who you really are anymore than wearing clothing isn't posting who you really are :):)

Agreed. I don't think there is anything wrong with putting our best foot forward, so to speak. Most of us would spend extra time getting ready for a job interview, a date, or meeting up with new friends for coffee/dinner. It's not deceitful in my opinion to present yourself at your best when meeting others for the first time. First impressions are crucial. Online interactions on a forum are first meetings with others in a way. Once we have established that level of rapport or trust with others it is natural to kick back and be more relaxed.

It becomes deceit or questionable if you photoshop or alter pics to completely transform yourself.

You're just embarrassed that your golf game took you all around London.

Well my "best foot forward" may need a bootie on it. My baby pics were good... they start going downhill from there. :rolleyes: just saying...
