"Surprised on the odd occasion but not really shocked although we did bump into one chap who was a lot smaller than he appeared to be. "
I once met a Lady who was about 10 stone heavier than she look in her photos  |

I get told I look like my photos but they don't do me justice.
Most I meet look better in the flesh too, met a guy a couple of weeks ago who I wasn't sure about but so glad I met him  |

I met a man (off another site) a few years ago and my first though was OMG he's sent his dad! It was the shortest social meet in the history of social meets  |

"I met one guy who either had photos of his son on his profile or they were taken 20 years and 100lbs ago. Not on really."
I get the few years across bit but you do recognise people usually but normally even with 10 year old pictures I would see the resemblance. It has me wondering how quickly people can change to make them not recognisable. Oh and 20 years lol bet you thought it was the parent.  |

I just didn't recognise him. It was a very odd meet. |

That would have freaked me a bit I haven't had a meet like that so far (touch wood) but had someone pointed out to me and bet £10 they had it wrong and I lost.  |

Yes quite a few I've met looked a lot older than their pictures almost like they were professionally done. One was very skinny too but didn't mention he'd lost weight and others appeared just not what their pictures portrayed |

Way over Yonder, that's where I'm bound |
Only one man didn't look anything like his pictures. I can usually recognise that they are who I have seen in a picture.
I am recognisable still from my pictures as a five year old. I'm just fatter.

Its made me realise the professional style ones are probably a long way off reality. It makes me realise why the red carnation thing was done yesteryear.  |

Let me think...the Robert Redford lookalike who in reality looked like Bruce Forsyth's older brother, the dark haired Adonis that fit under my tits with hair whiter than Father Christmas...yes I've been shocked once or twice! |

I arrived at one meet to be met by a lady whose pics, though definitely her, must have been 10 very hard arduos years of pie eating earlier........ Why aren't people just honest?
I foolishly raised the topic and she got a little upset, |

Touch wood I've never had a a bad experience. Have friends who recently met a couple that were about 10 years older and twice the size than their pics. They just walked out the pub on them which in all honesty is what I'd do. |

people look different any time of the day, always too in peoples perception, you can grow fond of people too.
Photos do help us decide but they are not the be all and end all but starts with a gut instinct |

hiding from cock pics. |
They are just a guide, I always can first as I have had some crazy suprises comparing pics to the real person... Even people using their friends pics ( I know report.. Etc) pics 20 years ago, pics before life has added character to their face and body....
It is just a guide but somewhere to start the journey to a potential meet. |

I had that happen to me, and when I went to meet him in the coffee shop I took one look and walked straight back out without saying hi. Looking back now I know that was very immature and rude but I was so mad that he had lied |

Yep. Clearly one guy thought a picture of him, with hair and a six pack, from around 20 years ago, would do the trick.. It did. Until we met. |

"Just need to search what porn stars really look like to get the real picture.
"
I've seen that before but then we all know most porn starts are plastered in make up or go for the "fake" look! Lol |

God! I hate pictures of me...even i think to myself 'I swear I don't look like that - my moustache isn't that wonky!!' Lol.
....there's only so much a picture can show. For starters I have more than just lips for a face lol.

I'm another that hates photos (I've become rather adept at avoiding them over the years).
I guess it is just a 'guide', sometimes I look like shit and other times I look vaguely human and it all depends if you get me on a bad or not. |

"I think I look different in real life compared to my pic
Delusion is a wonderful thing

I hate having pics taken but won't meet without them having seen a current pic. I would be mortified if they walked out and so I'd rather they knew who they are meeting before hand. If they don't find me/us attractive that's of course fine but would rather know before turning up for a meet.
Have generally found people look like their pics
Ruby x
Ps I have bits that wobble but until there are 3D photos they remain implied lol |
