Ok Minglers... what do you think?
I had a date with a guy that I'd been talking with for about a week.
His profile says he is 5'7...brown hair..athletic build..and hazel eyes!
Profile pic shows a man in shape!
Ok.. I like my guys taller but Ill wear flats...he seems cool!

The hazel eyes were the only thing I had to match him to his picture! W T F? Really dude?
Im 5'4...so I wore flats...his head still came up to my eyes! He had more gray hair than brown !
Athletic ?.....about as athletic as I was when I was 6 months pregnant!
When I did not kiss him at the end of the night, he got pissed! How dare he get mad at me, HE lied!

Why do people do this? If you are looking for a pen pal..I say lie your a$$ off! But when you will clearly meet someday soon...WHY LIE??

Saying you are 115 lbs when you are 120 ok...saying you make $75K when you make $60K ok

But why a lie that gets you busted the second he or she sees you!!

Anyone care to shed light on this?

People lie all the time about looks, etc.
A guy told me once he met a woman, in person and when he first seen her, she weighted about 300 at 5'4". She couldn't hardly walk. He still took her out to eat, at a near by place and she said to him, "I usually date Strong, muscular, tall guys but he would do." laugh
He was 5'6" 120lbs and he said when she called the next day, he told her he had found someone else.

It boggles the mind...doesn't it?!! I get it... they figure "I lie now..and when he/she meets me they will simply FALL IN LOVE with my personality"

Awful deduction!huh

Yeah; never could understand the lying. You are going to get busted. I had many men ask me if I was fat; I just say look at the profile picture as they are usually only a few months old. laugh

AMEN to that shnit !
I may be 51 and i may be only 5'6" tall
but i would NEVER lie on purpose for that very reason
I think liars only cheat themselves inevitably
How could someone even lie like that and then have the NERVE to actually show up for a "Date" !
If i am ever blessed to fall in love with someone again
Whether on the net or by other means
I don't want to be more of a let down then i already am !
noway
HAHAHAHAHAHA !
...TRUE !

{Although i DO still have a pair of my platforms from the 70s
hiding around here somewhere...}

Having met several gals who claimed to be a few extra pounds and they were in fact more than 185 (my weight), i was completely appalled as i spoke with them they were in denial, felt that once i met them that the weight issue would disappear. I suspect they were just being wishful and hoped to win me over with personality, wit, charm and grace all the while appearing as a beached whale. I made it a point to be kind and suggested a different descriptor such as voluptuous and that proved acceptable!! After that i began asking for more photo representation as a person with five head shots is likley to be hiding a great deal..This has made it somewhat more palatable in meeting as both sexes are guilty of mendacity to which everyone suffers.The longer you interact and email and speak on the phone the more disappointing it is to not have any chemistry/have spent so much time to develop a relationship that will not develop...Meet early on so as to not waste each thers time. If not comfortable about meeting early its time for a conselor to teach appropriate social skills to make this a more eficient and enjoyable process not one that is full of fraud deception and chicanery ..

No, a bellies are Not sexy. No Chemistry There.
I met a man inperson who looked like he was 7months pregnant. He was so nice guy 5'6". His picture did not show all that. He flew from South Carolina and we had a great date. He had a good job for over 30 yrs. He wanted to get engaged! I said Nope, so he moved on, he traveled out of the Country and married a gal from the UK, cause we emailed for few months after meeting. Oh well, his loss. laugh
Oh and I got a email later he lost about 50 lbs and still on a diet and he got eye surgery no longer wore Glasses either.I didn't know he was going to do all of that. shocked

I've already gained to 160 with being out of commission due to foot surgery, now I'm on a sensible eating plan and trickling back into the gym. I don't like being 20 pounds overweight...

Of course I was kidding about the beer belly but I never turned down a man with a beer belly if he treated me with respect. For me; there is more to a person even if the body isn't perfect.

I know what you mean, but If I had seen all that in his photo it probably would have turn me off. Big bellies you are out of shape, big time. He also later told me in person he had sleep apnea.
We had a lovely dinner out and then he fell asleep.I hope his Wife is enjoying him now. shocked laugh

To me, words like average, few extra pounds and so on don't mean much. Pictures work much better. If weight USA big issue with you, insist on a full length picture before meeting.

As for guys who have lied, it's just been about height, which is really silly to lie about. He said he was 5'7, but ended up being shorter than me. I'm 5'4.

When men are constantly frowned upon for things out of their control such as height, baldness, small penis, or what have you, the only other option is deception. They hope they can get out at least one night out of the year, even if it's a predictable failure.

I'm not sure why this is a difficult concept.
