Body pics to me are the most important for me.
Body pics stop people telling lies about themselves. ie. Guys. Use average but have big beer bellies.
Gals use curvy but are fat.
Body pics need not show a face if you don't want to. But will cut out the embarasment of turning someone away as bigger than was expected. |

The average guy tends to have a belly, i think that word's appropriate for that body type.
But yeah pics stop any confusion. One thing i have heard is women tend to get called names via messages just for being obese and not even rejecting anyone, this might be why some ladies are shy about showing themselves. Might be the same for men that they also get abuse for nothing but being themselves? Kind of shitty, i'm not ashamed of my imperfect body, it's real and exists as it is and isn't harming anyone. |

To be honest I've never really looked at the description, I look at the photos, if no photos I just move on to the next profile.
I've always had at least one full length picture on my profile, saves an awful lot of confusion |

Thanks to the wonders of filters and photo cropping I look better in my photos than I do in person. Is that false advertising? Perhaps but i would hope people would want to meet me for more than just curves. Are people genuinely so shallow? |

It's kinda a sub culture of Internet porn selfies.
The 40 tit shots, the 5 of the legs - like hmmm, yeah show me your tits often enough + I will forget about the belly.
It's like a big red flag.
The more tit shots, the more I want to see her belly and find out what's she's hiding.

I admit to hiding a slight muffin top. Partly because I like cake and don't do much exercise but secondly I had an op on my stomach so the muscles are weak |

I'm shallow, i prefer to meet guys who have pics that show them for what they are but sometimes i agree to fuck guys i've never seen...kind of enjoying that surprise lately if i'm honest, they tend to be average looking and nothing wrong with them.
But if someone shows me pics and they don't look like them when they turn up or they're short and pretended to be tall, then i feel deceived and refuse to fuck them. I think it would be more shallow to fuck liars.
Don't know how edited your pics are though or if they give off a false representation of yourself so can't judge if you;re in the category i'm on about. |

Okay maybe shallow was the wrong word to use. People are always going to show themselves in the best light. I think it's to be expected. It's not dishonest |

I send a body pic to people I'm sorting a meet with. But I prefer to meet in person so they can judge me for themselves.  |

"That's one of the reasons I have socials. Pictures are not enough to guarantee a play meet however. The person could look like their pic, be as fit as but lack a certain je na sais quoi. "
Exactly this.
Bit daft to crop pics and pretend to be something I'm not. |

Best light and "editing and cropping out the bad bits to deliberately misslead" are a bit different .

Nobody is going to post a picture they think is awful.
I've got body shots on, but my profile text is clear I'm average with lumps and bumps. No-one I've met has ran away screaming yet saying I don't look like my pictures. |

I rarely send a body pic or any pics other than my face. I adequately explain what my body looks like,fat,flabby stomach,stretch marks. I don't send pics because I don't trust enough people to not wank over them and fuck off. You don't see me posting time waster threads on here. |

I have full front and back view body pics in my friends folder. No hiding the podgy bits or the cellulite. If I'm going to meet someone or chatting with a view to meeting then they get to see them. |

Not a matter of being shallow. If you buy something and its not as advertised would you still buy it.
Its embarrassing to turn someone away because they do not meet their description or photo. |

There's only one thing worse than no body pic and that's somebody holding a big bloody sheet of paper infront of then blocking the view |

So only bigger people hide their bodies ?

The thing is everyone sees things differently, to one person you are curvy, another fat, another you could be fantastic.
It is all down to personal taste. |

I weren't sure what to put, so put curvy as I have curves, but put pictures of as much of me as possible and comfortable with - i/we wouldn't want to repulse anyone when we meet. No embarrassing moments then. If people don't like the look of us, then they don't have to contact us. |

Exactly!
Some people may really love people who completely hide their body behind a sheet of paper (while telling others not to hide).
Some people may love that style of hypocrisy. |

If someone doesn't have what you are looking for then don't meet them.
I'm short and podgy. Apparently, I look taller in my pictures (  ). Some will call me obese and others will say that I'm not fat. Even if they are happy with how I look they may not like my personality or there may be no chemistry.
Pictures only tell you how that person looked at that time.

I don't say anything at all. I send my pic and they see me in person. They can make their own mind up.
If I start saying I'm fat, blokes tend to feel like they have to say "ohhh no you're not, you're lovely!" I hate that falseness. They either like me or they don't. They are adults. I don't have to tell them what to think. |

Or because they were a lot smaller - as I did last night purely because I was deliberately deceived! It made me very cross indeed. |

I'm buggered if I'm putting a photo up on the internet that isn't flattering. This hasn't made anyone recoil in horror when they've met me in person yet. I think most people have the sense to realise that most of us want to put our best presentation of ourselves forward - that's not the same as being deceptive. I wouldn't say I was a size 10 when I'm a size 18, so I don't expect a man to say he's 6'2 if he's 5'8. But I'm not going to get het up if he's posted a photo he thinks makes him look good. |

Pictures are basically your advertisement. Speaking as a single male it is one of the main things that can set you out from the competition. There are a lot of good bodies on here. I agree, you should show the person you meet a body pic before. However, something different can be much more effecting. |

My full body pics are available on request.And to friends. Those who I actually meet, I meet socially first anyway so they can see for themselves.
I don't tell others how to run their profiles either. Unless they invite critism. |

but there is a difference between putting your best pictures up and deliberately deceiving someone. But if someone posted a picture where when meeting there was a hell of a lot of difference I wouldn't be best pleased

Unless they are actually changing their body shape/size with photoshop or something, or using out of date photos, it is not deception. I fully expect people to use flattering angles or be sucking their stomach in or something. To be honest I'd be more likely to avoid someone who put crap photos up in the interests of being 'honest' because it implies to me they aren't prepared to make an effort. |
