2011-06-25 Profile Pictures

Today's musical recommendation - "Feel it in my bones" by Tegan & Sara
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************


Like many users of this site I'm sometimes drawn to a profile based on the primary picture posted and yester I had this happen and than was in for a surprise when I looked a little closer.

What was the surprise? Well the picture was from 2004!!

Now this got me to looking at the other pictures posted on this particular profile and I discovered that not one picture was under 4 years old......so my question is what does this person think will be the reaction when they arrange to meet someone and don't look like the pictures they've posted.....

I know that my appearance hasn't drastically changed over the past say ten years but there are subtle changes and I would never post an old picture.....there is something to be said for truth in advertising lol

So last night as I was looking at profiles as part of my research for this posting, that is my story and I'm sticking with it ok, I noticed quite a few things that made me ask "what the heck?"..........

One profile had some restrictions....no smoking or drinking.....yet every picture showed the woman with a drink or cigarette and all were dated within the last 2 months

One profile had a comment about guys posting pictures of themselves topless, which I agree isn't cool, and yet showed one of herself lounging around the beach in multiple bikini shots.

Not really trying to rant here but more get the point across that when you show up for that all important first meet-n-greet don't you want the other person focusing on your words and actions and not sitting there thinking to themselves how you don't look anything like your profile pictures and feeling kind of deceived?

Ask yourself how you'd feel if that happened to you

Now before I get any harsh responses about this posting and the lack of pictures on my profile I will say that when I have had pictures on my profile and should I ever decide to add some to this profile I can 100% guarantee that they will be current.
