Good God,I HOPE Glamour Shots isn't still around. Talk about awful...they put everyone, no matter what age, in a feather boa and cheap costume jewelry, and did severe makeup with a cheesy soft focus finish.
I tried Glamour Shots once. They didn't put anyone in anything. They said you can either bring your own clothes, or try whatever they had. The client chooses, not the photog or makeup person.

Not where I grew up...it was like a novelty photobooth, with a trunk of crap.
Ugh...I hate the way I look in photos. I make sure to only post the ones where I don't look like a man.
I don't recall ever scaring anybody off that I had met online. So I guess that's a good sign.
LOL, me too. For some reason my eyes are always in mid blink or I bug them open so I don't blink and if the flash goes off, my pale skin combined with my light hair and pale gray eyes... I look washed out. I tend to like outdoor pictures with sunglasses on because of all this.
It's actually been a bit of a curse and blessing (when I did online dating). Less men contacted me than I think would have if I was more photogenic (and looked less anemic or something)... but the men I did date usually said on the first date that my photos online don't do me justice. More than once I met men who were convinced I wasn't their date because I looked better in person than in the pictures. So at least that made the dates better since the men dating me were happier.
Look man - what's the big deal? Some people:
A) photograph well - AND they're pretty good at makeup and hairstyles and wear SPANX Shapewear.
B) use photos from 20 lbs and 2-4-6 years ago. If they went to "Coachella" once, you can bet they've been before
C) and yes, photoshop well. I know a photographer who puts himself INTO group photos he takes, so he can be a part of the picture memories.
The important part of the tale, is you met/hung out with her IRL. You can decide "OKC match 61%" is the last word, or you can try harder to bridge the gap.
lol! This is funny! Do you normally eat 5 meals/day by 5 pm? + dinner at 6 or 7 = 6 meals/day?
I eat every day at 6 a.m., 9 a.m., noon, 3 p.m. 6 p.m. and 8-9 p.m... So pretty close.. On weekends my first meal is usually at 7 or 7:30.. I just aim to eat between every 2-4 hours.. Also, each meal typically has 6-8oz meat and 1/2 - 1.5 cups of carbs depending whether I'm bulking or cutting and the time of day..
Needless to say, morning Dan and night time Dan look like they vary in about 5% BF lol..
If a girl was like this, that's totally fine, but when a girls pictures are blatantly like 30lbs apart, that's a big difference..
If a girl is say, 15lbs overweight on a 5'6 frame, that can be acceptable to me if it's decent proportions and she has some muscle... But being 30lbs heavier than THAT (i.e. about 45lbs overweight on a 5'6 frame) would not be acceptable for someone who I'd want to date...
Basically, I can cut some slack to someone with a few extra pounds, but if they are already pushing what my max amount I'm ok with in the pictures they would post, and THEN they are like 20-30 on top of that, I think that is where the problem is...
In my online experience, as a man looking at photos of women, the amount of misrepresentation and prevarication increases with age. Women in their their early 30s, whom I eventually met in real life, look much like their photos, and often even slightly better, as they photos are often haphazardly taken. In the late 30s, the photo and actual visage/figure match well, albeit now the nod goes to the photo. In the early 40s, there is a palpable change; now photos are carefully posed and often quite dated. The real-life interview can be disappointing. By the late 40s (yes, I have a broad dating-range) the misrepresentation can tend towards the severe.
