Ok, so i thought i'd go on another one of my rants, so tell me if you've experienced this as well? 
Is anyone really honest in what they want from the opposite sex? 
We say one thing and then do another! Women say that they want their guy to show appreciation and consideration, but do they give those things as well? At least what i've experienced with online dating, i gotta say 80% of the time, NO!
And what's with the albums of pictures some people post to their profile? Some of them are like 5 or more years old!  Is it really honest to post a picture that doesn't even look like you anymore! If it does, then awesome! That's what the pictures are for, to give a representation of what the person looks like! And what is with just a head shot? Are we afraid to show what we really look like?
And why the use of terms that don't even describe your body style....you should be happy with what size you are, but shouldn't feel ashamed to reveal your true size! If everyone were more honest from the beginning, i think that their would be less dissappointments later upon meeting! 
Ok! Well if i've pissed anybody off with this, it wasn't my intention....so if you're sensitive, then don't take it personally, i'm just airing some pent up frustration! Everyone let me know what you think! I look forward to the feedback!

It is the same with all too many people. Posting pictures with sunglasses is also a way of hiding. I will say thought, that being as straight forward, as I am, often scares men away. Maybe that is a good thing but saying that they want to have someone be honest and then not being able to deal with real honesty is just another headgame to me.

most don't know what they are looking for in the opposite sex until it is presented to them. Then they realize what will be acceptable and what won't. I agree that some people want more than they can give, but it's thier right to do so. Pity on the one they date.
As far as head shots go.... most pictures that people take in general are of faces... unless your focus is really the Eiffel Tower in the background. I don't think it has anything to do with not wanting to show what one really looks like... it's just the face is usually what's photographed.

give it up ranting and move on - if you want a full size pic, you should have requested it before moving forward. I guess we learn from experience.

Hey, some of us are honest and want what we give and give what we get. And, I openly admit I'm not a toothpick.

Surely if you really like a person their size shouldn't matter. So why are you making an issue out of it. It's difficult to put across your size online. Some women think they are a lot bigger than they actually are - yes, some think they're smaller but they are in the minority. We have a programme in the UK called "How To Look Good Naked" which proves exactly that. It's all about self-esteem and there are many reasons for lack of it, but at some point, some guy has told them their "a fat cow" or similar and that will impact on how she might feel about her body where relationships with men are concerned. I've chatted to guys on here who I'm getting on really well with, I tell them "I don't think I'm your type because you're looking for slim women". How often have I heard - "I have to post that because otherwise I will be inundated with huge women". Clearly, size is an individual issue. I never ignore mail from a man who sounds interesting but I will check his body type preference and mention mine. Who knows until you meet whether his or her interpretation of that size is correct - it's all in the eye of the beholder. What we WANT from the opposite sex and what we are actually prepared to accept into our lives when we meet the person can be two different things. I wouldn't think too deeply into it. Maybe you're just looking in the wrong places or giving out the wrong signals. Who knows. Put it all down to experience. Everything happens for a reason - we're offered the lessons when we need them. Whether we actually learn them or not is another thing. Watch out, if you haven't learned it, you'll get it again, and again until you do.
