Not so much different personalities. I've only gone on two dates where the guy was bigger than his photos let on. Like 50+ lbs bigger. Two dates were with guys I knew were a bit socially awkward before the date. The others were pretty much how they were portrayed in their profile and in conversation before meeting.
Wait. About a handful were shorter than what they listed on their profile. If they listed 5'10" they were actually 5'8" or around that. I'm 5'9.5".
My longest relationship yet as a result of OKC, he said he was 31 in his profile. He thought putting his real age, 41, would deter a lot of women. I actually pretty much exclusively date older men, so it wouldn't have been an issue had I known he was actually 41. I didn't believe he was 31. Mid-late 30's, sure, but not 31.
I got a pic from a dude in my 20's who was a decent looking guy. When I finially met him he was way younger, nothing like the pic. Red hair chubby. I questioned him and he said that was his older brother in his pic.
Lol...dude we are going to find out!
I just signed up for a membership on Match and put one picture up pretty quickly. I didn't go back and put any more pictures up, since I wanted to see how many of the women responded to emails and read my profile. I've gave my number to 2 women so far. My picture is dated by about 5 years, but anytime I get someone's number I ask to get some pictures from them. I think profile pictures are too staged and the random cell phone pictures is how you can really see into someone's personality. I usually send 5-10 pictures off my cell phone. They are pictures of how I look within the last 30-90 days. A picture is just that, a picture. If we exchange numbers, and then they don't want to exchange pictures, then that's the REAL red flag for me.

This is very true no exchanging pics, then buh-bye.
I haven't run into anyone fatter. I did meet one guy who was either 10 years older than his stated age or extremely unlucky genetically. And a guy who was my height, though his profile said a few inches taler. I don't care about height and we dated for two years.
Any good/amusing stories about people looking different in person than their online pictures? Or perhaps people with entirely different personalities?
I remember when I was 22 I went on a date with a man who said he was 35, which was already pushing it. He showed up and had to have been AT LEAST 40. People were looking at us funny in the restaurant. I think they were playing the game of "is she his daughter or his girlfriend?" He also refused to show me his driver's license after getting it out for the waitress.
Another guy looked like a really gorgeous Italian with a built body in his pictures and claimed to be from Italy. When I showed up, he was definitely Arab, bald, and overweight. O.O
And of course, there were the cases of the men who had incredible personalities when we were talking, but had social problems in real life and were dull. I almost wonder, if they had someone else answer their messages. What I learned is that you should go on a date as soon as possible and not drag out the conversations, because there's a good chance you're not compatible anyways.
Reason I post real pics of myself..Bare face etc..No surprise!
That is why I don't do meals on the first meet-up! I wouldn't have even given him the time for being such a liar.
I do meetups too first time meeting because of stories like this. I got tired of sitting through one too many dinners with liars so meetups are faster if they lied. I have also walked out when I saw they really lied bad.
Huh. It seems that those that lie about their profile are actually able to get dates. Serves me right for being honest I guess.
That'll teach you!
I'll say that every single date I've ever been with a woman online lied in either their profile or their pictures except for two. I just account for it ahead of time in my head, and then I'm pleasantly surprised if everything is actually truthful. On both of the aforementioned truthful profiles, when the woman showed up, I thought "wow, she actually posted a real picture of herself!". Not another girl. Not all top-down pictures that stop at the cleavage. Not 5 years or 20 pounds ago. ACTUALLY HER. Definite bonus points.
