Photo Shop Anyone?

Ever flipped through a magazine and noticed a hot pump that you just thought you had to purchase?  Only problem, the photographer only gave you a small view of the shoe, from just the front. So you search online, spending hours, maybe even days before eureka, you find it!  Unfortunately, there is a tiny problem.  Your search has uncovered why the photographer only provided you with such a small preview of the shoe, it is simply awful and not worth the time you have wasted.  Yes, you were definitely duped.

After three separate dates I have come to a similar conclusion with some of my matches.  Each of these three different men provided only a head shot as their profile picture.  Funny thing, none of them looked like their picture when we met.  Was this deliberate photo editing or possibly just older pictures?  Who knows and frankly, who cares.  Regardless of the answer, I was duped into thinking I was meeting one person when in reality that person did not exist except on a very altered photo.  Do they not realize their extra pounds, shrinking hairline, advanced years will all come to the forefront when we meet in person?  Had they shown the confidence to project who they really are I might have actually been inclined to go out with one or any of them again.

Whatever happened to the self-assured man?  Why are they hiding in plain sight?  I am confident they are still out there, I just haven't flipped through enough magazines yet or tried on enough shoes to find them but I am hopeful nonetheless.
