    Ever meet someone in person and you can tell they've built this unrealistic perpetual fantasy of you from your pictures? And then they meet you and you have this pressure on you to be what they dreamed up? And they don't understand that it's different meeting in person--that you have to start over as real flesh and blood people?

    Happened to me tonight. Did the guy expect me to be posing like my profile pictures or something. Takes two to make the thing go right, I say. He was like a log, and not even a warm one. icon_neutral.gif

    Personally, I feel that if you didn't show up to our date dressed like you are in your mud wrestling photo ... I would be very disappointed.

    The fact that you want to date me makes up for my so-so night. icon_wink.gif

    Sarcasm aside, I think I can relate to this quite well. People say I always look quite different from my pictures. I'm not sure why because they're being taken by my webcam. It's not like I'm altering any aspect of myself in the picture. They tell me though "I thought you'd be taller" even though I specifically state my height in my profile. *Scratches head* I'm not misleading anyone. :s

    *Shrugs and hugs* You're fine by meeeee. :3

    It must've been cold there in the shadows of your RJ profile.

    I certainly wouldn't be disappointed in your height. (though you do sound taller) ;-)

    This is why it serves me to be honest about what keeps grounded, whenever possible. Would hate to have someone ONLY have PERFECT expectations of me. If they like me after being aware of my past, they may actually deserve my present...and vice versa...

    Ive generally had the opposite reaction, people tend to think I am much more attractive in person than in pictures. Not too sure why.

    I'm famously unphotogenic so I exceed expectations. Plus I'm The Thinking Man's Sex Symbol.

    Oh bosh, you're just in Montana, which I admit is the same thing.
    Go someplace civilized.


    Im working on that, it is harder than I would have thought.

    All though being invisible is nice for now.

    I've been told: That I take great pictures. That the pictures don't do me justice. So I don't know who to believe!

    I don't know whether I realistically approach someone's fantasies. Maybe I'm not that perceptive to notice.
