Are your pictures a true reflection of how you look in person?
Do you show your less favourable (to you) parts?
I think my photos are a true reflection of me, however I don’t show my worst part (my mum tum!) but recently took some very candid photos that I have not been brave enough to upload. Im not sure why, when anyone I meet would see it anyway!  |

I struggle with my mum tum to,but I think we notice and worry about things that others just don’t ,especially in the heat of moment but l guess everyone has their insecurities it’s important to not over think things but easier said than done x  |

Photos are an advertising mechanism in my opinion. They drive the footfall to your profile and hopefully meets.
While I would have no issue posting photos of my dad bod and average dick, thats not what we are trying to “sell”, so instead we post photos of wax play, rope and some DS elements.
I care little about what a person looks like, its their attitude, personality, willingness to try new things and sense of adventure that attract us. |

I never use filters or face apps the only altering I do is trim them |

My pics are unfiltered, but obviously make up has been applied!
I don't take photos of my wobbly bits/fat stomach as I hate it.
Also, due to lockdown lard (16lbs), I've changed my body type to AMPLE from CURVY. X |

I play around with filters, and try to go for flattering angles. I also hide my tummy.
The reality of me naked isn't very pleasant but by the time I get to that point, I usually find ways to distract them!
No one has run away or recoiled in horror at a social meeting yet |

I dislike taking photos, but I dislike even more filtered ones.
My photos are me, completely as I am. People can either take me as I am or leave me be   |

When you pick your phone up and the front camera is accidentally on, I’d never let anyone see a picture of me from that angle. Chins hanging everywhere. |

I mention that I have a belly, but I don't have photos as such. I won't filter though as I live in fear of being called out. People have apparently been pleasantly surprised but that.means nothing. It's hard to show a part of your body you don't love xx |

I do add filters.
I do only pick the best pics
Maybe a sign of a lack of confidence
And yes; probably cat fishing peeps
But our profile clearly states my size and how I live sex
So if you read it- mix with the images you’re probably getting a better image x |

Very recent photos.. personally l think a person is only fooling themselves if they don't put up the " real deal " photos of themselves as why hide what it really is ? ...BUT ..l fully understand ..and respect .. what a person sees in themselves , different people look at different things in different ways ,how many times would people have had meets only to think the words .." you look different from your photos " |

Good angles & the odd crop & b/w image on ours nothing else. We have both put on a bit of weight since lockdown but not loads & have started to do something about it so as we are not actively chatting to people to arrange anything we don’t feel it necessary to update pics.
We are body conscious as are most people but not that conscious we lay off the pizza & pies

None of my pics have any filters or ‘touch ups’ on them, and I would like to think they are an accurate representation of me. Nobody who has met me from here has ever asked “ Where’s the guy from your pics?” anyway!  |

I believe mine are a good reflection of me and my personality. Very honest, upfront and love being naked. Nobody should hide any part as we are all beautiful in our own way |

I think mine are a true reflection and I never use filters or airbrush them in anyway. However, I also know my best angles and like most people don’t post a bad picture or a picture that I’m not happy with. Many of us have body insecurities and parts of our bodies we are not happy with but they are part of what makes us who we are, so we need to learn to love even the bits we are less keen on |

I take mine from a flattering angle and I use natural light and know how to pose. I obviously post photos that I think show the best side of me but I do also show some totally unposed, natural ones for friends only.
I don't use filters or edit my body shape though. So I think that's a good balance. |

I was chatting on a video call with a guy I later met. He said I didn’t look like my pics so I propped up my phone and stood a few feet away and posed. He then agreed I did.
Conclusion; I look like crap up close! |

No filters, up to date and just me. Though I do make sure the room is tidy!
I've had many shocks over the years, particularly in clubs when I've met couples and women, who are very different in appearance.
Perhaps a reflection of the pressure people feel to be body beautiful? Don't get me started on why men are missing in most couples profiles.
Pity people feel a need to filter, or even go AWOL (men), when ultimately a partner will be in and on you from just about every angle.

I’ve put weight on due to the menopause - which I hate.
If I’m likely to meet someone I’ll send them ‘warts and all’ pics of what I look like now. Hoping to get it back off again so I don’t have to do that! |

Yep my pictures are a true reflection of me. I might suck my tummy in a bit and position myself to hide the lumpy bits sometimes though! I think we naturally want to show the best version of ourselves. |

Mine is a true reflection of myself now.
I used to hide bits and edit pictures to make it look like what I thought others would like to see...but then I thought how silly is that? If I meet someone and they think I look like my photos, they will be disappointed when we meet face to face.
Obviously I still have some insecurities, but I'm happy enough in my own skin now (only taken 30+ years to get there! Lol)
What you see is what you get with me

I don't use filters or anything, so they are true in that sense.
I do use angles to my advantage and lighting and only shoe my best features in my public photos.
My friends only pictures show more of the true me. |

I crop, I suck in my stomach, and I use colour effects (black and white or something, not speckles or whatever that make things look better than they are). On one photo I got rid of a giant pimple on my arse, and on another one I got rid of some red eye. Other than that, my photos are as I am, and I upload them the day I take them or possibly the day after. |

Am exactly as in my pics, although I'm sure we all try to take a slightly creative picture to garner attention? People assume they know what others are attracted to. We're usually wrong I think. |

I use angles, lighting and poses to my advantage to accentuate the best parts of me but I don't dramatically change anything. The only difference in real life is that I come with a head and generally have more clothes on |

I use black and white and sometimes blur the edges or tattoos for anonymity etc. Otherwise they are very accurate. Although yes I do tend to avoid pictures with my stomach showing as its my biggest flaw.
To be honest even a few months ago I'd never have thought I'd have been able to put half the pictures up I have |

I use the life out the black and white filter lol
I would take a video nowadays and choose the best screens shots which I feel paint me in the best light. My pictures are me, but I definitely pick the better ones...some of the others I've taken in the past are shocking lol
I dont think I'm being deceitful, I think I'm just using my best bits so as to have a better chance at attracting women |

It's the posing bit that does my head in, I swear I would normally shy away from the camera in most circumstance but on Fab obviously I cant do that. If I set the video re wording in the background just walk about for a bit I can usually work with something in the video |

I think I look much better in a photo. You can't see my fat moving around or things like my wonky bottom teeth when I smile. I always take my photos in flattering light too so that helps and I'm usually posed. I do look like my photos though, but the still capture version is definitely much more flattering than the moving around version. |

Mine are unfiltered, that said, they don't show that much! I don't show my mummy tummy, just like I'd try to keep it hidden in a club too. And who knew I had wrinkly elbows?! I didn't til I saw the one of my dress lifted! |

Most people chose the most favourable shots but that doesn’t mean they aren’t a true reflection. Just a highlight reel. I have been told a few times I’m better in person than in my pics though. |

Other than black and white, we don’t use filters but ours are usually taken in a kind light and at angles that suit. We tend not to show stomach or I’s legs (or hairline!) as they don’t look great.
That said, we only meet at clubs so if people think we’re ropey compared to our profile then they don’t need to approach us |

I hate photos of me but as I'm not great with a camera or lighting, think they represent me fairly well.
As for 'mum tum' there is nothing wrong with it. In fact in your latest photo showing it, you look absolutely stunning. |
