Please tell me I'm not the only person on here who has trouble with picture / actual recognition.
I spent two hours at clubf on Friday checking every blond woman with short blonde hair on the off chance she was the person I was supposed to meet – and frankly if she hadn’t winked and smiled at me – it may have gone on to three.
Later in the night I was trying to remember tattoo's in case people from here had turned up and I had missed them (I can think of at least one girl who probably thought I was talking to her breasts where in actual fact I was trying to remember a nerdy but fun chat in the programming style – and which tattoo's she might have).
I'm not talking about photo altering – just the ability to link photo's to an actual person. |

Yeah, I'm horrible at face recognition. It only clicks easily in person if it's someone whose face made a particluar impression on me when I saw their pic.
I still have a hard time remembering the faces of people I've seen on face pic Friday threads over and over  |

I'm terrible at recognising faces too. I always try to arrive early if I'm meeting someone new, so that they have to approach me rather than the other way round. |

I recall, from my single days, a date from a regular online dating site - we both stood at the nominated meeting spot for about 5 minutes before asking whether the other was who we had planned to meet. She didn't look the picture. |

There is the other side of course - I noticed a woman who would be at the same club as me and mentioned via message - I would only recognize her if she took her knickers off and bent over 
no reply - I wonder why?
But it still amazes me how different people look - even on live cam - even when sat in a car in a normal Facebook style photo.
Add in color filters and strategic positioning - I'm amazed anyone gets recognized.

It was cringey and I have to say I was disappointed because he was really attractive. Part of me wanted to suggest having a drink with him but I couldn't!!! |

I've had this happen also, not always a good thing, but always great when the person in question actually looks much better in the flesh without all the crap photo filters etc |

Same problem here. I'm just upfront about it!
I've been told I look better in rea life than in person which is a bit of a relief! It does make me wonder what meets I miss because of my picture face versus in the flesh face 
Ah well |

I have a fantastic memory for facts, details, conversations etc. but my visual memory is shocking for features. Plus I tend to wear contacts on a meet anyway and my eyesight isn't as good with them as it is with my glasses. I also have no sense of direction so tend to get myself sorted somewhere and let them find me since I'd probably get lost otherwise. |

I thought it would be easier asking what car they are driving,when being picked up. It doesn't help when you don't know a Ford Fiesta from a Range Rover. |

"I tend to look for tattoos or other distinguishing featurws as a lady only needs to change her hair and you got no chance of recognition lol"
That happened to me when I met someone who had only seen photos of me with straightened hair. I had only seen him with sunglasses on,so I walked right past him outside the station. After a few texts, telling him where I was standing, he came over and said my name then mentioned that my hair looked different. |

I also look for tattos when meeting someone who I've been chatting to on a site.
I rarely arrange to meet someone in a club for a first time meet, it's more like "say hi if you see me".
The other thing is when you fuck someone in a club and you're not sure if it's them on the profile you have randomly looked up a few days later  |
