[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I met a women on line.  In her pic she looked like me; definitely not svelt, but only a few extra pounds.  When we met, she was HUGE.  Like 300 lbs.  Much bigger than me.  
The issue was not her size, it was the honesty.[/quote]

But say she posted a picture, and you thought she was maybe too heavy and not attractive enough for you, but what the hell. And then she showed up and was much thinner, in great shape, much better looking in person. She tells you "yeah, I just put unflattering photos in my profile, because I'm sick of guys who are only into me for my looks." Would her lack of honesty make her undateable?[/quote]

PP I do not know, it is not a circumstance I have ever encountered nor do I expect to encounter.  The only purpose of this question is to shame me.   
This was not the case of a flattering picture.  It was the case of a picture the person took a long time before, prior to weight gain.

It would be akin to me using a photo from 1997 today, except my difference are more like 20% in weight, not 100%, and my hair (except for facial) is the same color.

You question is more akin to a guy who makes 200-300K a year posting that they are poor.  If you do not want one for the looks/money, use a typical non-flattering pic, or hide your net worth.

(me today, if I were dating, would hide my assets and salary unless I was looking for a trophy wife.  But since I would be looking for a partner, I would want someone with similar assets).[/quote]

Do most women even care about a mans income?  Excepting, of course, young women who are looking to start a family.  I would rather have a guy who laughs a lot and knows how to fix stuff.  [/quote]
