Swingers Forum - How old is your profile picture?

Previous Post Next Post
While trying to update our profile picture and putting approaches so as approaching beautiful people, all together in pictures, We came to the social analyzes of numbers.
We like to keep it as real as possible and when we like a couple/single we ask if possible to share the most recent picture from them and return the favor as well, so we know how we really look.
Let’s face it (no pun intended 😝) it’s not all about how long is him or how genital is the picture, we need to see faces if we’re going to get down to business.
We’ve come across people who have shared pics 20 years younger and after we met we could not believe who they were. It doesn’t matter how old they are but let’s get thing straight from day one so we can find the attraction regardless of age.
So just wondering, how old is your profile pic?
Ours is 3 months old and the other public pic around a year.
Our oldest picture is around November. I can see as our profile ages, I could see how people wouldn't update their photos. We made two agreements to ourselves though. First, we would reevaluate our photos every 6 months to make sure they still accurately reflected us. The second is that we were ok with face photos for friends-only albums. However, with that in mind, that we would be a bit more selective about who we added or left as friends.
To along with that ages are no updated on older accounts and some are actually 20 years older than they represent. I don’t know if the earlier accounts did not automatically adjust the ages when they had a birthday or they edit them every year. Anyway ours is accurate and pictures are 2 years old at the most.

We do the same but as often as we take pics and if we feel comfortable sharing it, we just post it. Our faces, in the other hand will be only for friends or those who seem to share the same interest and we think we could be mutually attracted, then we share. The point of it is to be as real as possible in this cyber world, especially if faces, teeth and presence are such a big factor in the sexual attraction.

Honestly! Thank godddddddd someone else has brought this up!!!!! We have met a few couples from this site. The only thing we can determine is at one time in your life you felt attractive to yourself! But the pics you choose to represent yourselves now are 5-10 years old or more. Fake profile=goodbye to us! Everyone hates wasted time. Post valid.......up to date......pictures. It will only end in failure if you don't be honest with yourself!


Lol.. we had various situations where the couple or individual was actually 10 or even 16 years older and way different than the picture they shared, sometimes is not even their profile pic because they only post their dicks or boobs or the hottest thing they choose. So when we chat we immediately offer and request a photo (face - body) exchange, assuming we all are in the same time and mutual understanding of sharing a CURRENT PICTURE 😌
Even if the pic isn't that old ..some people just don't post pictures of how they really look ..a year can do alot to a person physically if they don't take care of themselves. Or talking to them they send pictures of them 50lbs before lol we are by no means perfect physically but at least our pictures are true.
Agreed

Bingo. This is our thought too. Keeping our private friends trimmed down allows us to feel more confident showing our faces. Plus some of the best ones we Ike to share are hard to edit out identities. Though we haven’t minded sharing plain face photos publicly either.
*timidly raising hand* Guilty. Many (not all!) of our pics are older. We do, however, have a some that are fairly recent. And while we agree, up to a point, with this post, we also know that for every profile that has older pics, there are at LEAST that many that use cleverly placed clothing or other objects and/or editing to hide real or perceived physical flaws or imperfections. Also fun are the incredibly blurry pics that were either intentionally blurred (And no, not just faces!) or were taken on a 20-year-old 1MP cell phone camera.

Perhaps a good idea for the sake of 'truth in advertising' would be requiring everyone to post (at least in the locked (friends) section) a full-length completely nude photo without any kind of enhancements whatsoever. Hell, we could even require that no makeup, hairstyling/color or other things be used that might misrepresent a person's true appearance.

We have been surprised on a few meetings as well, but mostly the people we have chosen to meet have represented themselves fairly honestly.

We have pics of all ages but definitely have more of the recent ones. Even one from just two weeks ago. We want to make sure anyone who meets us knows what to expect. Deceiving someone is no way to start a relationship.

Wonderful deal!!! We blurred our faces since we have to take care of our privacy, our jobs and family don’t need to know we are a part of the black sheep clan that don’t have much to hide but their sexual openness lol
Otherwise our ages, faces and bodies are exactly as the pictures show.
We understand for some is hard to do because everyone wants to look great at the first sight but hey.. there’s taste of all kind for all sizes, shapes and colors.
Coming from the fact that colors are all my mutt genes (the female side of this post) lol some of us are luckier than others and some of us not so much in regards to pictures, filters and masks. ☺️
There’s no judgment in forgetting the profile pic for a couple of months or a year.
Life is more than worrying about that old pic in the “swingers website” 😅
We personally get really bored if we see our same pictures all the time, honestly it’s so easy to neglect it, if is not one or the other, we move things around for the sake of our own entertainment lol
In the case of those who forget it and when the time to talk to someone or a couple come, then it’s a good time to refer to the new pic and some good digitals and selfies to make sure everyone is on the same page.

We have some that are a bit older. They still look like us. A lot of our photos were taken by playmates with one of our phones when we were playing. Since the pandemic, we haven't yet been active. All of the photos of me, the Mr., solo in the pictures, in our public album, were taken in October of 2020. We were in Kalispell Montana and I asked my darling wife to snap a few shots with my iPhone. My older photos didn't include the scar on my right hip. I've heard that chicks really dig scars, so I thought I'd better get some updated photos, and just wait for the flood of female emails. WTF, so far the ladies aren't exactly swooning over my scar?


😂
Last year for us.
We meet a couple at a restaurant and I didnt even recognize the couple. I walked right past them and asked another person that looked closer to their pics at the front door. They saw my wife at the table and went to our table. I came back to the table and was very surprised how different they looked. We now ask for current pics.
About 8 months.

We got a similar situation with a single guy, he probably got an altar with all his pictures as a young guy, we talked (chatted) for around a month since he’s out of town, when we met him it was exactly like looking at the father of the young man in the pictures he sent. We did have a good dinner conversation but we believe, consciously, he knew at that point of not being honest with his pics, he lost his chance with us.
We try to keep ours current. Our profile pic at present is 6mos to a year old.

Our profile pic was taken a little over a year ago. Sure wish people included more pictures in their profile. This online meeting thing is already a leap of faith...it’s even more so without pictures.


A little over a year here too. We'll leave them as they are until we feel they don't accurately represent us.

We feel the same in wishing people included more pics in their profile....along with more in the "about us" and "what we're looking for" sections. Tough to get a feel for people with only a sentence or two.
Our Profile pic is about 2 years old but the private pic was taken yesterday.
April 2021
Our current profile photo is from 2019, but we have updated public photos (labeled with dates) if someone takes the time to look through them.

I have to say, I really appreciate this topic being raised. We're busy folks and when we take the time to meet up with someone, our expectation of accurate self-representation is entirely reasonable. Dishonesty often stems from lack of confidence, which is decisively not sexy. Showing up and seeing that someone has misrepresented themselves is a major turn off and the quickest way to us not ever meeting up or even consider playing with others. Vulnerability and honesty, on the other hand, is very sexy.
Ok, our profile pics are always fakes, but our private face pics are totally current. When you can rock a mullet and big hair as well as we do, you just stick with a good thing.
Our pic is about 10 months old. We feel much more comfortable being a little out of shape than the way we used to be which was very much in shape. We only would love to get with artist real people.
Ours is 8 months.
Oof Josie4u... that's a lot of drama you dropped front and center on a Sunday afternoon. FYI, these forums don't appear to be watched by any administrative team. You might get a response by emailing the administrator account on here and reporting an issue.

And uhhhh... nobody is trying to hack you to get added to your friends list. That's just not how any of this works.
Not too old but it has been difficult taking pictures since fotomat closed.
About a month old
All our photos range from 2 months to 2 years.. and, a special bonus, our ages are correct along with our weights! 😳😳
Ours is in Vegas July 2021 great time!
All are less than a year old except for one that was from 2 years ago. Ages and weights are accurate. :)
This is us this summer in our current look, we blurred our faces (privacy of course).
At least we can go from the believe that most of us who commented here are real people, accepting our timing flows and realities, our pics are us.
This is more a community page for us, where we read about others and visit to check out what’s new than meeting people due to the difficulty of finding good matches but are happy to share thoughts or even maybe meet and greet to check synchronicity and connection so as be real for once out of this virtual world.
If there’s anyone we like or like us we know we will connect with each other.
The beauty of not being under pressure and not pressuring anyone. 😊
Most of our pics are within the last year, some the last 3 years. We try to only leave pics up that are representative. Feel free to call us out all you have met us . . . we think they are representative. We always look forward to the next Desire trip so that we can post a few more pics. Keep it real . . .

You hear a lot about how much honesty there is the LS...until it comes to the pictures!We have met couples we communicated with on the site only to not recognize them in person. We like to show what will be seen when in person.


Yep could not agree more.
Sometimes however recent pictures can be taken in such a way as to obscure what someone might really look like. Oh well it’s never perfect is it it.😎
our pics are ancient but we also shaved 10+ yrs off our profile so that kinda evens it out
Our current picture is going on for over a year, but no changes in appearance (HWP). Have new pictures, but rather keep it full length.

Great posts. Face pics are very important, but also it is nice to include a body photo. I once met a lady from the site that looked like she might be 100 lbs at the most. When I got to the date I saw this lady that must have weighed 350 lbs. Yup it was her. While I do love BBW I love honesty more!


Well, you still played with her, right? Her profile pic was just the little "extra push" you needed.
