I'm sure EVERYONE here has had a similar experience. You look at someone's photos on here or that they send you. You think, "WOW, amazing body." Then the in person meeting happens. WTF? Where did the photo person go???
As a photographer, I can tell you I can alter people's appearance through the lens without Photoshop. It just takes a talented photographer.
Before all the hate starts, let me just say I am posting this in light hearted humor. Don't get all hater on me. let's hear your funny stories of photo to disaster dates.

Once met someone after looking at their pictures, and my first thought was, the photograper must have used a fish-eye lens for the pics.
Then I realized she really did have fish eyes.

We have seen the same profile use the same one or two pics since 2003 when we started this. Honestly, we have been surprised both positive and nagatively upon meeting. We look at the posted weights verse the pics and find the numbers hard to believe at times. In the end, it is not about the ages, weights, or dates on the pics. It is about lying, or to be PC we might say not misrepresenting yourself. When we see a "glamour" shot and nothing else, we move on to the next.
We`ve been told many times we do not photo well, but that`s okay with us. That means the surprise will always be a good one when we meet new friends!
Sorry Maven, no hate for you .... you always keep it real and honest, and we appreciate that!

well everyone wants to sell themselves in the best light possible haha...No one would put up pictures of a hairy asshole or their fat rolls..Or when people take face shots from above their heads to make them look skinnier...But thats y u make sure u know what they look like in full before u meet them...And if they wont send a pic then u might know their pics arent them
So one time I arranged to meet up with this douchebag named MavenX. I was rather pleasantly surprised when we was really nice and respectful. 
heehee
Honestly though, Mav is hotter than his pics. /truefacts

Many times members profile pics just don't do them justice. We've met many couples that were much better looking in person than on their pics. One great reason for parties, you get to meet members in person without the need for bad or (inaccurate) pics.
Have fun
Have fun

I follow the Facebook rule. If they post pics of their feet, hands, eyes, kids, etc, I know there is a problem.

Well, if you move on after seeing a glamour shot - you must have US as your wallpaper. lol
We have had good luck with this so far. Pictures of people didn't really do them justice. I don't think ours are all that great, well the ones of me (mr). She looks hot IMO...

We try to make sure our pics are just a LITTLE uglier than reality... don't want to scare anyone off unnecessarily... on the other hand would MUCH prefer meeting someone new and having them be pleasantly surprised, rather than seeing that confused, perturbed, disappointed look in their eyes...
K, I didnt even follow the thread. But here is the scoop... if the pics dont represent then that is not a good life long friendship opportunity. Shame but just sayin... Present the truth and that will provide the foundation for super friendships! PnC
Shhhh....I'm actually 375lbs, African-American and have blue hair.
I personally think cams are the way to go. Until then, I'm going to be a SF with 40FFF boobs, and I'm 5'10" tall, and ripped, with multiple piercings. My hair color can change depending on who I talk to
The whole profile picture and picture thing is juvenile. It's like a yearbook online.. OMG.. he's hot.. OMG.. she's hot.. .there is so much more then simply looks. With some people on Swingular and other lifestyle sites it feels like your in a lineup, like on that show on HBO about the Chicken Ranch. Line em up, we don't care what their personalities are like, let's see who we wanna fuck.
We stopped looking at profile pictures years ago. Most of them are gross anyway. Like I wanna see some close up of your pussy or cock! Hell no! If I do notice a profile picture, it's a picture of that person doing something they care about or love. Swimming, running, hiking, boating, etc. That tells me something about the person on the profile that they may not have told me in writing. When I do meet them in person it gives us a conversation piece as well.
Sorry if my juvenile comment bothers some of you, but it really is juvenile to get all hot and bothered over some profile picture (or turned off). I made the same mistake my first year in the lifestyle. But we never thought of booty calls based on someones pictures in the first place.
BTW.. if I wanna see pictures of pussy and cocks.. REDTUBE.com has hours and hours of it for free.
(sorry if that came across Snarky, I'm taking my "before" pictures for my Body For Life shots today. I dont' feel particularly sexy today.

I agree with you in principal, but I don't base my friendships on how nice someones ass looks in a profile picture. It may tell me that they are honest, but the profile picture is not even worth the time in my book in most cases. Seriously meet them in person, if you click, personality and looks, then by all means
I've watched as some people have aged or plumped out, or gotten skinny. Over 3 or 4 years you see allot, and it's not always pretty. Does that make that person fake because they didn't get around to changing their profile pictures. Nope... They could be lazy, or they simply have enough friends in the lifestyle that already know them personally, that there is no need for profile pictures.
Frankly, if you would get to know people on a personal level, their FaceBook profiles tell you much more about a person then their gonad shots.
PS.. I know this sounds REALLY old fashioned.. But before profiles and mug shots in some seedy magazine, people actually met in person, shook hands, looked one another in the eye, maybe talked for a few minutes, and then decided if they liked one another.
No knocking my Coverlook pictures. Those took 3 hours to do plus airbrushing. I was contributing to the economy.

Are you saying that profile pics are bad? Or good?We can't just meet EVERYONE on this site so we have to narrow it down somehow. If you think it's shallow for folks to use physical appearance as ONE of the tools used to pick among the hundreds (or thousands) of possible profiles, then don't the profile pics serve a purpose for you to? In the sense that if they skip yours than you don't have to deal with folks you suspect might be shallow?
There are folks here who want younger, older, skinnier, plumper, blond, black, WHATEVER? If I've got some physical trait that someone doesn't find attractive, I'd rather they found out about it now and don't contact me at all! After all, it is meeting up for sex, not life-long partnership.
But I do get ya in the sense that there is more to sex than ONLY looks. And meeting cool people that are fun to be around is part of the purpose for meeting folks here for me too. I tend to look at both pics and profile for that initial clue as to whether any further interaction is going to occur, then of course an actual meeting is the next step. But I don't have time to just meet everybody -- this is just a hobby for me, not a vocation!!!
My weight fluctuates from one week to the next, my hair always seems to do its own thing depending on the weather, and my face, hell

We try to update our pictures regularly and anytime something changes like when we decided to shave my head. We don't want anyone to be surprised and say we misrepresented ourselves.
Wish we were closer to SLC so we could meet more of these nice looking couples! Most of the couples on here from Idaho are just lookers and never plan on meeting.

And you all wonder why some of us dont post our pics on profiles anymore? (Or ages for that matter). I would rather you judge me in person, I have found some of the people that werent that physically attractive to me became some of our best friends. That doesnt mean I dont enjoy looking at profile pictures.....
Hym4cyn hit it on the head. Pictures and some descriptions may detour a person but if you would just meet they may be some of your funnest friends. Some people don't photograph well and other's have a hard time describing themselves or what they are looking for in writing. So when you physically see them and talk things can change drastically one way or another.

LOL - Playmates are hard to come by - sorry.
But hey, if it's the bloated, dimply thing your looking for - I'm your gal!

This is sooo true. We've seen pictures we just love, and then have no attraction at all when we meet. Other pics that aren't what we think we're looking for, and then the heat is amazing between the four of us. It's funny how much the voice, the intelligence, and the personality of others matter.
Hot or not, young or older, if there's nothing more then looks to offer - we'll happily pass.
I agree with ABCWOMAN. I prefer the real people, not the supposed hard bodies. Ive found that hard bodies tend to be snobbish and not the kind of people we like. Average people tend to be more down to earth, not out trying to impress. Personality is what counts.

One thing this post has taught me is that folks from Swingular are all looking for different things. Some want in person meetings, others want to gape at photos, while even others want a mix in between. This is what makes the world go around.

There are way too many people over-thinking about this....
I was recently going though my family photo shoot picture and came across some were I looked great. flip to the next one (the unedited one) and I see that my photographer has made me thinner, my face leaner and my boobs smaller in the one where I looked great. Husband and i laughed and decided to print the ones where I was altered.
I dont use photoshop on any of my pictures on this site other then to fix light or make it B&W. Its not like I am going to meet someone and sleep with them if I realize I am not attracted to them. Rejection sucks to I would rather be rejected and not know it then meet someone and then be rejected. ( not that, that ever happens to me cause I am hoooot)
