Unfortunately yes - pretty often. It’s very deflating when the anticipation turns to disappointment.
I met a guy for coffee yesterday though who was the other way round - definitely cuter than the pics he sent me. VERY much looking forward to getting naked with him!

Yes, it's one of the reasons I always have socials.
I refused to verify one bloke because he was using 20 year old photos and had shaved a LOT off his age to get around age filters. He as nothing like the person he'd claimed to be. |

Yes a couple of times a few years ago when we first joined, met a couple & thought their parents stood in for them  |

"Honestly I feel like I’m a catfish on here, like I look decent in pictures of myself, but in reality I look uglier...... like I don’t look like the same person "
Same here. I'm always so paranoid about being a disappointment to people that I insist on a social so that I can be sure that they mean it if they still want to meet again. |

Same. Its why I don't have face or body pics on here, saves all the disappointment when they meet me. And the last 3 men ghosted me so I guess I am uglier/ too large in real life
..... Oh well |

I’ve been ghosted as well, it’s not nice but it toughens me up to bull shit. They obviously weren’t worth your time |

I feel the same about my pics versus me in the flesh. It makes me so nervous to meet anyone. I've never liked taking selfies and wouldn't even know how to use a filter lol but somehow the pics look better than the reality x |

"We ask for an in-app selfie in the Kik app to try and out the fakers. Surprising just how many people will happily send you a selfie pic but will refuse to send an in-app “live” selfie"
Lol Kik to out the fakers? Much easier to do a WhatsApp video call to be sure , had lots of fake live selfies sent on kik before. Hence why I haven't used it for ages |

Must be a man thing as plenty of comments from woman. I have met guys and can honestly say they have been genuine, except for one recently, let’s just say lockdown had not been good to him. He has actually updated his profile since then. |

Aren’t we all a little guilty to some extent?
Surely everybody prefers and would post flattering picture of themselves?
Some people do take the piss though.
Met a girl on a vanilla dating site a few years ago and she was 10 years and 10 stone different! |

Yes but sometimes it’s understandable. People have hang ups about appearances so take some amazing camera angles. Yes it’s a disappointment when you meet them but then you find out they are actually really nice and have a great time. |
