Fake Profile Shots - ever ok?

May 02 2014

I just stumbled across an image on a profile that - with a little photoshopping of hair - was identical to that of a couple we just exchanged messages with - where it's their only public shot. It's an arty shot, non-identifying - but suggesting the female is hot. I decided to reverse search and it's a popular image used on over 100 sites. I'd just released our pg access - decided to revoke ASAP - because even if they are genuine in every other shot I'm not feeling comfortable anymore. Now RHP doesn't let us use quirky comic or art shots, and everyone loves bums or lips covered in 100's and 1000's - which I'd view differently as a stock shot to a POV bodyshot... So while some may mistakenly think an arty shot of painted or covered lips or bum belongs to the profile - I wouldn't have too much of an issue if it were in someone's collection, it's a statement of style. But while I'm open and friendly - trust is not something I give away too easily and honesty is something I value... Anyone-else got some opinions on picture plagarisation?

    my head onto some massive blokes body, but would make sure its obvious photoshop (even simply writing that in text on photo if necessary) and not my primary. I've got other real photos to look at, but i like the humour of the ridiculous photoshop job. But when it comes to just a single shot and its not even you, thats a bit misleading. If its amongst a bunch of true representations thats not so bad, but can still be a bit confusing. If they are genuine in all thier other photos (although how can you tell now the trust has been broken), maybe they just want a picture that represents them. Like half the profile pictures on e-smarmony is of sunsets and vistas. Or peoples dogs and cats. I would maybe write to them voicing your concern. If they are genuine they will probably apologise for the confusion and provide some more photos to regain your trust. I thinnk they just want to represent themselves as the sort of person who is attracted to that kind of photo, not as the originator of the shot. but i totally get where you're coming from.

    Some people really do have way too much time on their hands and not enough self respect. I mean really? Who does these things? For what end? On a side note..... How do you do the reverse photo search? - Posted from rhpmobile

    I dont think it is fair or reasonable to post anything other than shots of yourself. I don't even like pics with other people in them, kids, too far away, photoshopped or old. People need to just be honest.

    Quoting 'Curiousplay1980' How do you do the reverse photo search? Right-click on a pic (without enlarging them first, or the function will be blocked). Choose either "Save picture" or "copy image URL."Go to Google, then Images. Click on the little camera in the search bar. Either upload the pic you just saved, or paste the image URL.Google will show you all the sites containing the photo. No results = a good sign.

    When I first signed up here a number of years ago I submitted a sexy face and breast photo. It was declined by the RHP crew as being a fake. I was so angry that they made that determination. I contacted admin and said that that photo was me and I could not submit anything else as I did in fact look like that. I challenged them to have me write whatever they wanted on a note and I'd take another photo, wearing the same outfit, holding up a sign with their words, or they could chat to me on msn (in those days) to see that the person in the picture was me. I agree with you though. Any fake pics and I'm outta there and would have no contact with them again. If they are lying about what they look like what else are they lying about.

    If you have RHP and Google images open in separate tabs or windows, just drag the image into the search bar of Google images. I always check images before initiating contact. If they're obviously fake, I ignore straight away, otherwise I ask for confirmation and if they have a good enough reason I'll continue on. I have met one great lady from here who had a pic that wasn't of her as her main profile pic, but she was honest and open about it from the get go and we had a great time once we met and will meet again.

    google my pictures, I could be in porn stars are us! Or grab that granny I have put up a panting of myself, a few times, I kinda like my shape , but I did get permission of RHP when they found out I was the artist. I think another woman had the same problem, when one of my friends painted her. At the end of the day you do have to meet a person and you would look like a fool if you had been hiding behind a fake picture or one that was very old if you have no intention of meeting, well people just find this place a bit of a game for them to while away the hours between centrelink payments

    and I'm a student of Ms.M, educator of reverse image search. I used reverse google of an image from another site...far out it was on the cover of a magazine (shot in USA) and when I made an inquiry about his lovely pic he told me it was of him, in the Bayside area of Brisbane. No, it is not OK to have someone else's pic and use them as your own or not a genuine shot of them! It's deceitful and misleading, but then again no one is to know who a person is they are talking/exchanging messages to until one meets them. They could be paparazzi for all I know, chasing me down!

    You learn something new every day. Thanks Mea. If the people have profiles on other sites they will undoutably show up but they may still be their own pics. It will be a great tool to use to weed out people who source pics from other places such as magazines etc.Our pics,although getting old now, are 100% us and we would expect the same from others. Maybe a bit naive with todays topic.

    I should mention, the man in the pic was standing on a paddle board. I googled it because I thought "I wonder who took that pic, as it appeared a little weird/too good for a profile shot." When I mentioned it was on the cover of a magazine, he just laughed and said "HAHAHA you're not just a pretty face". He was blocked after that So it makes me wonder, how many people out there are vulnerable/sucked into these types of pics and/or are unaware the person they are talking to is using someones else's pic and not aware - IF they are not aware of google reverse search image??

    The picture searching has become somewhat of a hobby. I've encountered an American volleyball player, a Croatian actor, Turkish singer Tarkan and a whole heap of ladies from teenage sluts" websites. Recently I came across Dita von Teese.Oh, and who could forget Tom Selleck? Having said that, when I first joined I was in awe of one poster's black and white pics. I really admired her class, poses, outfits, as well as her amazing posts.It was only when she started posting real pics of her body and face that I realised the others weren't her and I was disappointed.

    In this situation I will ask the member what I want to know about the picture...and only if I believe they gave me incorrect answer I will assume there is some dishonesty. If I believe they gave me correct answer and the answer is that it is a generic picture. I will simply assume they have different values to me not that they are dishonest. Now the question is will we proceed with them...the answer depends on a total evaluation...and do they meet minimum criteria for matching values. Rupa(f) I think most people value honesty but how we define honesty and evaluate it can be different...We all have different values and for us it is not fair to use my values to declare others honest or dishonest...honesty and dishonest by us is only established after fair exchange of information and then evaluating the facts.

    Skimming the forums while in a mega traffic jam in chatswood chase from which I may not emerge..... I wonder to those who put fake photos up.... do you think on meeting someone they're simply going to think " well, you're NOTHING like your pic, or profile but what the hell.... At least I'm out of the house"??? That said, it's not hard to pic fakes. Further evidence to make me ask why they bother. Damn they must be fugly of they gotta fake up! - Posted from rhpmobile

    OK, I can understand why people might not want a picture of their face to be public on this site but as said many times before, that's what private galleries are for. I don't see the reasoning for putting up fake pictures. I mean, if you meet in person isn't the person you lied to going to work out? Anyway, I have worked out if a picture looks to good to be true, it probably is.

    I have seen a few guys here that were hot back in the day, and put pictures up at least 15 years old. I sat in a coffee shop as one of those guys met a friend of mine, her face was priceless. I was just sitting away to make sure she was ok. I ask the guy latter in message why he did it, the irony was that as an older guy he looked fine to me. He more or less said it worked he got to meet women and told me to mind my own business. Yes he met them but that's all that every happened as like my friend did most would say no, because he proved himself to be a liar. others well they have gone to seed from the glory football days and any attention is better than no attention at all. The ugly truth is that we are a visual and judgemental bunch. I don't shave off my age because frankly I don't give a shit. but other women need to as if you hit a bench mark of say 50 they will hover at around48 if you hit 60 they will hover around 58 because that big O on the end can put a lot of people off.

    Because there could be countless reasons why someone posts fake pics, some understandable, some not. Until I know more, I don't criticise. Because no-one is obliged to tell me the truth. The onus is on me to discern whether I'm willing to accept someone the way they present themselves, including the big or small lies they might tell. And the onus is on me to take the time to properly suss someone out. I do take my time, and I've never got it wrong yet. Because everyone tells lies of some kind. Some lies are deal breakers to me, some aren't. In isolation, fake pics on a profile are not deal-breakers for me. Accompanied with a pattern of lies and deception, of course they are. Because I chat to people for a LONG time before meeting, by which time I know whether or not their pics are fake and I've made my decision to meet them anyway. Because there's a LOT more to someone's character, spirit, heart than whether they choose to put fake pics on an adult site. Because there are degrees of fakeness, some of which are deal-breakers to me, and some of which aren't. Because I've fudged things on my profile from time to time over the years - my age, location, pics and more. I've shared some of my reasons why on here in the past, but most of my reasons are private and no-one's business. I give other people with fake pics the same benefit of the doubt, at least until I know more about them. Because I life life in the grey, not in the black and white. Because there are so many more important things in life than whether a random stranger on an adult site puts up fake pics. I could go on :)

    I knew a woman once who told SO many lies. Really quite terrible lies that hurt other people. I knew for a LONG time that she was lying, and I subtly questioned her again and again. I was hoping the subtle hints would prompt her to straighten her story out, but alas ... When I finally told her directly that I knew she was lying, I was willing to understand her reasons, to offer her compassion, and to be a friend while she unravelled the stories and started again. She preferred to maintain the deception. I cut ties, not because I judged or criticised her or thought I was superior, but simply because there was no further way for me to be a friend. Had she told me the truth at that stage I would have willingly found a way. People make mistakes. People have reasons for doing things differently than others might. People have lapses in judgment. People value their privacy. People value their safety. People live in fantasy worlds. People use the internet to reinvent themselves. People manipulate. People hurt. People are hurting. Reasons reasons reasons. I generally find that indignant outrage about fake profile pics tells me all I need to know about a person's true tolerance and compassion for others.

    It was not a criticism. I am sure we all know there are fair more important things than fake profiles. That's a given but the question really in my mind was more the ethics of doing something as childish as a fake profile picture on an adult site. To me it is childish, silly and means you really have either no insight into yourself, or that you have no intention to meet. For me this is about reality, people on here are looking to meet another person offline. So that transition to offline will soon point out the lie, and its the Lie that's the problem for me. In that regard I am very black and white , especially with old pictures or pictures of another person. That part I do not like as they have used another persons image, without their permission. Being a paid artist and photographer, its a sticking point. Its a rather quaint way to say that a person Fudges things, but that fudge that seems so harmless can really impact on a persons time and the investment they make on here. people sending messages that they pay for, investing in their emotion and their time. Its a scam to do that, to lure or gain some attention that a person clearly does not deserve. That being said, its also a risky thing as some women or men go to a meeting, thinking they are going to see that particular person. I often show a female friend the image of a man I am going to meet, for safety reasons. That's a bit of a back up for me. So its pretty important that I am given the real deal. But I mostly get that from a phone exchange and after I have spoken to them on the phone. Some people can give a fake picture and turn up to the coffee shop and just sit there watching a woman wait for her factious date, I have seen that happen a time or two. Its a humiliating thing for anyone, and its just an extension of that persons game plan. I guess that's why I does matter to me. thanks for your candour in this , its interesting how we are all so different in our approach to RHP LadyT learning something new every day

I can only shake my head. Your assumption is based on a fake premis. I think I met a woman like that, her track left a lot of damage to people on RHP especially the males.she was a obese woman , who said she was a doctor and a pole dancer( the pole would have had to be bloody strong) she never showed her whole body at all, and then got so pissed off when men rejected her so she set about to try and destroy their lives offline and sometimes she did a good number on them. she was as fake as they come and it cost others a great deal. I have no compassion for anyone that sets out to deceive another person, no matter what pathetic reasons they may give the damage is still done my compassion lies with those that have been scammed.

    I'd like to do a small experiment one day. I'd like to line up ALL the people who are adamant that having fake pics on an RHP profile is omg/unacceptable/wrong/evil/sinister/yada yada and find out ... Who among them has submitted a slightly falsified insurance claim.Who smokes and drops their cigarette butts on the ground.Who gossips behind their colleagues/friends/family's backs.Who cheats on their partners. Who laughs at fat people.Who tells racist jokes.Who chucks a sickie from work.Who ... you get the picture. I'm no saint. Neither is anyone who posts fake pics. Neither are the people who get all up in arms about it. (Neither is PJ Paul II - but that's a whole different argument!). I understand that my view on fake pics/age/location/whatever on profiles is in the minority, and I'm OK with that :)

    Forget about the implications of what will happen if you ever meet someone as we all know about those outcomes, but look more into the psyche of respondents , especially in the forums. Bet you a dollar that the words of some appealing photo would be treated with a lot more credence than that of someone not soo appealing. You see it time and time again. Is not putting a fake picture up to have more acceptance in the written word not as deceptive as alluring people to meet. I mean if you have no intention of meeting someone why not put a grey ghost up and earn respect through the written word that way. We can also take this a bit further. I wonder how many people entering the amateur pic section put fake photographs up. Personally I think people should be reported if they are found out to have put fake pics up.

    There's a difference between saying it doesn't bother me and saying it's OK. One is about my personal reaction and how someone else's act impacts me. The other is a moral assessment or judgment about whether their act is right or wrong and whethe they're good or bad. The difference is subtle, but it's there. I generally don't let the acts of others bother me if I can help it and I avoid making moral assessments as much as possible - whether it's about fake profile pics or something else. I also try to have a healthy perspective about what really matters in this world. Human beings are more than one choice they make. I might not agree with their choice but I'm not about to automatically write them off as a person, or cast them as an evil liar in my script for life because of it. Especially when I don't know the context for them making that choice. "Know thyself" is an ancient philosophical tenet that is fundamental to my life, and I think it applies just as importantly to other people. Understanding is a key antidote to judgment. Besides, courts of law consider mitigating circumstances and evidence of character when trying people for much more severe acts. Basically, people seem to want to say "it's wrong and if you do it you're a bad person". That's way too much of an over-simplification for me. I prefer to wonder "what's behind that choice?" and I'm completely open to discovering a valid reason. Unless of course it's related to dropping cigarette butts or harming children or animals!! ;) Anyway, I never said it's OK, and I also never said it's not OK. I prefer to take an individual person on their individual merit, based on all the things I can discover about them. I simply said it doesn't bother me :) - Posted from rhpmobile

    Lil Miss. Your posts sometimes get me confused. You made a lot of judgements in the cheating posts, you were very firm on your ideals there. Yet less so with this kind of cheating, to me its still cheating. Look at it this way. RHP is a market place where people advertise their goods.I expect what's on the packet to actually be in the packet. Most of us would be outraged if we saw a picture on a box of a brand new super duper thing a me jigand then you open the box and its full of old second hand crap. You would feel cheated? I hardly think well gosh oh dear, they must have had a good reason for doing this. I have never Fudged anything on this site, not my age nor my pictures. I expect the same from people that I deal with as what you see is what you get with me. but then I guess, I am fussy were you saying that you actually put up fake pictures yourself once? that's the way I read it but I could be wrong. I know that other woman we speak of did that a few times, sad really as she had a beautiful face and without the lies she covered her self in, I am sure she could have found what she was looking for. Perhaps she did not believe in herself so had to invent a character bigger than ben hur. She was a fantasist and they live well on the internet but just cant translate that fairy tale life to the real world. I photographed her a few times, and yet she still put up silly pictures of skinny younger women. I got a few messages from people that got burnt by her advertising. Its your call how you deal with it, as in the end your the person that is on the receiving end of such a deception. I and apparently a fair few on this site, do not nor will ever accept that behaviour. I have a book full of reality cheques some people need to cash theirs sometimes.

    If someone uses another persons pics portraying them as themselves, it is deceit, fraud, lying etc. Why would I want to meet someone like that? To me, if someone can lie so easily about something they are going to be found out on as soon as you meet,I have to question what else are they lying about.

    Fake profile pic's?? How about WHOLE fake profiles n not just the pic??? Have seen lately lots of single ladies as new members, same age, same likes, pretty much same everything!! Must just be a coincidence I guess cause I'm sure RHP would not allow or do anything like that would they???

    I was chatting about this with the stunning Rebecca from RHP at the drinks last night. I’m very impressed with their behind the scenes work on sifting out fakes and the speed of their actions to remove the profiles where necessary. As a member of another popular offshore site I can say not only is this one way more effective but the number of fakes here is minute in comparison so it’s a good thing. I think I might be a bit more of a sleuth than Meander in this department as Its almost a side hobby of mine when online here. If you use google chrome as a browser then you can simply right click in users main profile page and then you will find he option to search for the image in google is already there without any need to save or later upload anything. Basically a right click and then a left click and your away. Tineye has far less images databased at this point in time but you can do this too. Why are the fakes around? For a few reasons Picture collectors incl semi-professionals who swap images in bulk in international circles or there’s the local herd of gay guys seeking more material J (reverse applies to women). In some rare cases you can even have extortionists seeking to use the images as bribery material when they manage to find out your true identity, most of these guys are not in Australia either as there’s no need to be If your careless discovering your ID is really not that hard, like above, the dodgy bastard tries reverse searching a few pics to source your facebook/google usernames/ real world email address. That’s a bit alarmist but you’d be surprised how easy it is to discover someone’s identity if you use common usernames on sites or a mobile phone number that comes up in google – try it. Same applies to the email address if you use messaging outside the site – google that one too. Bottom line is you only have to worry about the rare chance of a fake number 3 the other two are just sad losers J I find a few people here are a bit careless – too trusting and very easily traceable ex footy stars butchers other public figures but maybe they aren’t bothered by the possibility of exposure anyway. The plus side is I know they are real for myself too :)

    Cheating I didn't make the kind of judgments you're suggesting in my cheating posts. I didn't sit on a moral high ground and say cheaters are bad people etc. I simply said that to date I've not heard a reason for cheating that I think is justified. And I said that if that changes I'll happily announce it. In the meantime, what cheaters do is none of my business - it has no impact on me, it doesn't hurt me at all and it's not my place to judge their choices. However, I wouldn't bring that energy into my life - I wouldn't have sex or a relationship with someone who cheats on a specific personal commitment they've made to another person. Fake photos I'm also not saying fake photos are justified. Or that they're not justified. I'm just saying they don't bother me. Yes, I've had photos on my profile in the past that were a few years old and 5kg lighter. I'vealso had photos that were of bodies that could have been me but weren't. I've given some vague reasons for this on here before but I've never been completely open about my true reasons here or with anyone, and I won't be. That's my business. I did share one of my reasons with someone today as a small experiment, and they were supportive and understanding of the complexities (thank you!). When I've connected with someone and I'm confident I can trust them, I share relevant photos. They know exactly who they're meeting well before the meeting occurs. I don't meet people quickly on here so I have plenty of time to learn what I need to learn about them and share what I need to share with them. It's worked for me just fine for six years now :) People who know me universally describe me as a deeply honest and ethical person. I just choose to mask some aspects of myself here, on this risky adult site. That choice doesn't define my worth as a person and that's what I object to in the - what I consider to be - massive overreactions by others. I don't class fake photos on a profile and cheating as equal deceptions.

The plus side is I know they are real for myself too :) google me, you sexy thing But your right it has happened to me a few times, where people sent pictures of my house. Bit creepy , but the blackmail thing, well shit if they exposed my old saggy bits to the public I would say, go for it. They can have my full bank account balance of twenty bucks to keep my sordid secret my thing is never to meet anyone unless we actually talk on the phone first, and never to send sexy pictures via the phone unless we have actually met in person. I once did a photo shoot for a guy when I went over to Sydney, his pictures I really thought were fake he was so good looking. when he got to my hotel room he was smoking hot and the pictures he had were almost too good. so I did more natural shots with natural light The great irony is that people are attractive to someone some where, just give yourself a chance for the real you to be seen. Thanks for your information and if you have a police uniform please put it on and come to my house right away, I think I have an problem, someone stole the buttons of my yellow cardi , I need you to look into that.

    Quoting 'Mpowered' If your careless discovering your ID is really not that hard, like above, the dodgy bastard tries reverse searching a few pics to source your facebook/google usernames/ real world email address. I recently (on another site) came across a handsome man who (in his professionally taken photo) looked a lot like Ryan Gosling, so I searched the pic. It turned out it was actually him (yum!), but he uses the same pic for his LinkedIn profile, which contains his full name as well as the name of his photography business. Not smart.

I wanted to know if it was her in that dress also?? Lady T She has had several names and always posts in the mosts amazing natural poses and outfits. If it is not her well I think tht is decieving because I have been envious of her ......envious of her amazing body and the fact she hasnt had to use it to lure some action. The first man I met here had a pic that must of benn 15 years old...............never made that mistake again. I always like to meet and go from there I think people like miss fussy think they will convince the other person of their true personality before they meet because there image doesnt match their personality I have heard of that in the past. Its a main reason I try not to get too comfortable with a person online first because as we say there has to be a level of attraction and in real life we communicate in person and mostly verbally. People can be writers and yet have no personable skills. Be yourself Fussy.........

    I agree with that line. Yes I have heard she used fake pictures, that is why I ask if that one on her profile was her. I hope she does come back as her delightful self, she is articulate and smart. To make yourself some sexy cyber goddess makes you rob yourself of the things about yourself that people in real life find attractive. To those that thought that we are all hypocrites , re our comments on being cheated then so be it, but I have always been as straight as can be about who I am and what I look like and my opinions. If I lifted rock and the light got in and someone took a long hard look at themselves, then that's the way it is in an adult forum. I like many others here have to cop it on the chin, I like many others have been given sharp rebuke and I have often learnt from that. European Bliss and Meeka and Meander , have been very strong in their debate with me and I have valued and continue to value their opinions and yes I have often questioned my self at times. Lil miss is a grown women and foxy if you want to advocate for her behaviour and justify it then go ahead, that's what forums are all about. here is your soap box so stand up and have your own opinion on fake profiles and stick to the topic if you can. And for women, yes we sometimes admire other women for their body , their beauty and their wit and smarts on here. how let down do we feel when we find out that our thoughts for that person have been a total sham. I for one feel like I have a sour taste in my mouth, and it makes me less trusting. I do cheat, with other women's husbands so you have a point their peachy but I do not cheat on my own, he knows I am on RHP. I am not perfect at all, but this is my opinion regarding this topic. I have only had one profile and all my pictures are of me and all fairly recent and I change them all the time to up date them.

I have no respect for the judgements made on one point about a person who has so many other good points about them.

    ...About how genuine you are with the images you are attaching to your profile. Using a fake pic is deceptive plain and simple. Trying to somehow link this with what you do or do not do in your non-RHP world i.e personal life has nothing to do with anything here - that's just a bizzare connection that makes no sense at all. Maybe create a cheating bastards thread or something but even then its really nothing to do with the ongoings of a swingers forum where any concept of monogamy is quite laughable.

I don't think I am EVER going to not double-check a super hot guys profile pics. But what if it is indeed him, and 374 other sites have just stolen his image... Or... He really wants himself out there and he's gone and posted himself on 374 sites... :D Anyway - Interesting thing on the reverse image search. I know a couple of my photos I posted in my profile are on the net in a few places, so I reverse image searched myself, fortunately none of the available image search engines came up with anything. They are of myself though... As to the fake thing, hmmm, I'm only new here, and obviously a touch naive, I assumed if they weren't cartoons or obvious celebrities that people would have genuine photo's of themselves on here. Food for thought... Do many of you not just meet in the chat rooms and talk though? I figured a website like this would just have people using the chatroom facilities to video chat - very easy to verify who they are - even if they're still in their pj's not looking their best...

I was the one to out the fake pics (one of a beautiful woman in a maxi dress, the other a woman walking out of the ocean.) Not my nicest moment, I was pissed off as I felt cheated. Fussy did remove them and replaced them with pics I think are her. I hope so anyway. I certainly agree with your last line, Tuscan.
