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.
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?
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.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 meBTW 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![]()
I knew that I had to come clean with my true identity some day. Thats me![]()

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

Yes, and the time you had too much stuff inside your car, so you had to ride on top.

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