False Advertising x

[Stephanie]

What constitutes false advertising ?

I'm not talking about bait-n-switch outfits, but about legit profiles.

She advertises blonde, but changed her color to brunette ?

Says she's 5'7" tall , but in truth is barely 5'4" ?

Or the reverse : you expecting a tiny girl and instead a tall beauty opens the door ?

Has nice tanned pictures , but since has turned white ? Would you be disappointed ? Does it matter ?

What about listing voluptuous breast size , but has just a mouthful ?

What about if you like your women curvy but since she's lost weight ?

How bout the other way around ? Nice trim pictures, but then that's 'not exactly' what you find.

Whats your pet peeve ? What else ? In which case , at what point would you turn around and leave ?

Or would you ?

In your mind , what is false advertising ? xx should I update my stats every time I lose / gain 5 lbs ?

How much is 'poetic license' , and at witch point does it become deceit ?

Discuss xx

Do you mean a situation like this?

I would just about die ! I cannot imagine worse , than seeing disappointment on a Client's face when I open the door !

I am SO careful about my pictures ! Though I am no spring chicken , and some pics do need a bit of shopping,

I am so careful for it to be real !!

The pictures is exactly whom my clients will meet ! Size , shape , color , etc.

I can't imagine this girl will have much happiness with such pics on a dating site. What when face to face time comes ?


*I keep clicking on that picture. Just incredulous !

You put up this post as I was writing mine on a similar subject. I'm not too bothered about little things like hair colour or height as long as they actually look like their pictures. I mean I've been to some that looked nothing like their profile pics, others who may have looked like that 20 years ago but are a lot older than the pics suggest and stated as age in the profile and others who are a lot heavier in person.
I feel bad when I walk out as its probably not the nicest thing to do on someone and probably a bit insulting but if the pictures didn't give off a realistic expectation that is their fault.

I find there is always a difference in how a lady looks, even when you've seen many photographs, and even when the photos are pretty accurate. There is a world of information that's impossible to see from a photograph - body language, how someone walks etc. - that cannot be or comprehended in a one-dimensional photo, no matter how accurate it might be. Even in relation to height - every single lady I've met has been either taller or smaller than I had imagined them to be, and that's not to say that they had lied about their height. Your mind creates an image based on a photo, but there's inevitably much more information - that can make you be more or less attracted to the lady than you thought - that can't be anticipated until the lady opens the door. I have to say I've never been physically disappointed - they've all been beautiful women, and I'm always grateful for the time I had with them.

And your post goes exactly to the heart of my question

What you describe is very reasonable , and fully understandable .

But when , at which point does it become false advertising ?

At which point would you feel that you've been mislead ?

May be its just me, but I could glean absolutely nothing from a one dimensional photograph. Now a two dimensional one I'd say I might have some chance

But to answer Stephanie's question, I think it is very personal, down to the individual. Of course a point can be made with a cropped photo such as Queenbee's outrageous example.
At the end if the day this only matters for first time visits, as soon as the door opens, the photos become irrelevant. Lets just say I think we would all accept that the photos are designed to show the lady at her best, and rightly so.

I haven't read all the posts for this thread, but for me its as simple as this:-
False advertising is using any means to show anything that is not real, and to 'suck' prospective clients into a certain 'situation'.

For example, a picture may show a gorgeous 40 year old, while the lady in question is well over 60, with sagging features etc!
Has it happened to me - unfortunately yes :-(

I am still recovering from a certain experiences - yuh!!!!!!!!!

Yes them awful untruths they tell, and i'm afraid it has happened to us all and cant see it stopping anytime soon, some ladies couldn't lie straight in the bed sites would need to be tighter but only so much they can or want to do but in the end its all about the money,money, money

by the way Marcus did you stay or did you go
