Would this be a turn off? (woman, younger, attractive, personality)

[Question2015]

its just photo editing, I don't see too much harm in it. Now if someone posts pics of themselves from 15 years and 100 lbs ago, that is a dealbreaker. I never even got why people would do that. I mean when you meet them, you get to see what they actually look like, so whats the point?

"Hi, sorry I'm late, I'm Karen."

"Karen from online Karen?"

"Yeah. It's me."

"You look different."

"Well I didn't have time to airbrush. You know, the air compressor, the hose and paint... I just didn't have time."

Well having read that members have met people who are 7inches shorter, much more overweight and a lot older in person this ain't so bad

But it's still in effect a lie so that would put me off a bit

I could see in some circles that the bolded would be a disappointment. She walks away saying "no hard feelings, you came up short."

Yep on reflection I don't think she " hardly " noticed

This isn't any different than waking up next to someone for the first time, so I'd say it's fair game. I saw a TV show once where they scientifically proved that Kim Kardashian is actually a hobbit, but because of Photoshop....

Lol.

It's online dating. Reality dictates, one should expect the worse. From my understanding, online dating can be really cutthroat, so, makeup or not, bad skin or flawless, just as long half their face isnt missing, I can understand someone trying to put their best foot forward. But I won't tolerate down right deiciption; catfished, Lol.

So what? On the dating site I use, men do way more photo shop with their penises like, all the time. Its online dating. Whattya expect?

It's better to under promise and over deliver.

This! It's always better when the person is better looking than their pics.

As to the OP--

I expect that people are going to put up pictures that they like of themselves. So, in that respect, I factor in a "fudge factor". Was it a good angle? Did they just get their hair cut? Were they dressed up for some non-daily reason? Were they in a place where they were unusually happy?

With that said though, I would expect a relatively recent photo that wasn't photoshopped.
