I’m up late so I thought I’d rant. I had an ‘occurance’ today and figured I would share it. I’m on a break from work and I run over to Taco Bell for some food. (That nutrious and healthy place that it is.) This guy stops me and says hello like he knows me. Sorta breaks into conversation. I assume he knows me thru the blog and wants to introduce himself. I could tell after I started talking we weren’t on the same page so I finally just asked him how he knew me? It took me a moment to realize who he was. When it hit me, I was secretly shocked. This guy looked nothing like his pics and I do mean nothing! Ok, I know I’m sounding crazy, let me explain. He has a profile online and has chatted me up before. We’ve exchanged pleasantries, blah blah blah. What I didn’t know until today, his pics are so photoshopped I would never have recognized him. Never! I finally told him too. I said, “you know, I should tell you I think you need new pics as I would never have recognized you.” He was like, “Really? you think they are that far off?” Without really thinking what I was saying, I then proceeded to blurt out, “yes cause the ones you have are so photoshopped, I don’t think anyone would recognize you.” I didn’t really mean it to be rude but I think he took it that way. He got real un-friendly and didn’t offer much conversation after that.
So basically, he lied about who he is and then got “huffed” when someone called him on it. I guess I ruined his ego for the day. I’m such a bastard sometimes w/o even knowing it I guess. Sorry.
**Note, I looked for his profile when I got home and it is “no longer available”. Maybe he took the hint. Ya think?
I hade a blind date like that once. He lied about every spec and every aspect of his life, along with posting 10 year old pix. Worst of all, he was incredibly dull.
Luckily, some acquaintances were there. He could tell that I was ignoring him.
“I’m sorry, but you’re nothing like you profile.” He took the hint and left. Wasn’t the first time and won’t be the last time for him.
LOL….I just love it when they get busted.
D’oh!!
I swear I only used the Photoshop enlarge function a little bit….
There is a Realtor in my city that runs a picture in her ads that I kid you not is from 1970. I don’t get why people feel the need to doctor pics. Even worse use obviously fake pics.
that is hilarious… did he make himself look younger? more fit? or what??
