False Advertising

17 February 2008 4 Comments

1The last couple days, I’ve met 2 different women.  And both of them ended with the same results.  There was no chemistry.  The difficult part is trying to pretend to be friendly  afterwards.   I have no idea why it seems to be a common practice among women to take pictures from 3 feet about them or from angles to make themselves look 35lbs smaller than they are.  It is the new ‘glamour shots’ of the millenium.   I realize that we are all looking for companionship, but part of the attraction is based on honesty.  Now I promote on my dating profiles that I’m not interested in any one is a plus size woman.  That’s just my preference.  I don’t expect to meet a model, but I do expect to meet a regular sized woman. But when you have on your profile that you are average body size, and you show up much larger that is very puzzling.  How stupid does she really think a man is?  I can
tell when a woman is 5′3, wearing  a size 16 and a contestant on the Biggest Loser.  I wouldn’t consider that to be average at all.  Now if you look at the picture, you’d never guess she was as round as she was tall.  I would guess, she was a couple extra pounds over the average size woman.  Wow, was I wrong!  I guess my point is, if you’re never going to meet someone it doesn’t really matter.  But you can’t photo-shop yourself in person.

    I have had the very same problem. It’s a real letdown if you ask me. (that’s not her real picture I hope?)

    I have run into this too. And sometimes not even about looks…but about personality! They say certain things about themselves and act completely different!
