A series of pics tell more of a story then one pic on it's own. We usually ask how old the pics are too :)

Yes have also been mislead by pics on profiles and body size, so be aware and ask for new pics that have been taken in the last six months or so shy

I don't see what the point is having old pics..Id rather people see me as I am now than to meet and have that awkward moment The bonus of having cams also

We take all pics with a grain of salt. Having dabbled in photography before, we know it's pretty easy to manipulate a shot to make it appear different. "Myspace poses" are a great example, and we usually brush over profiles with pics like that (Self pics, angled - usually upwards - eliminates double-chins and increases cleavage etc etc) In the end, if everyone is honest with themselves and others, it reduces the accusations of 'time wasters' and as was said, awkward moments when you realise that the person isn't what they say. To decide if we're wasting our time with someone, we always ask for face pics (of both if couple) and we'll only wear the "not on this computer" excuse once, and if they're not forthcoming with them, then we give them the flick. Seriously, in this day and age, anyone that has a computer will have a few pics floating around... Honesty IS the best policy.

I agree .. genetials is boring.. so is boobs. With a bit of creativity, and inspiration, one can pose themselves in a photo that is quite attractive, and not "slutty" but still "sexy"

The pic for my display at the moment is an old pic, but I say that in the label. Why have an old pic? I really like the pic! And it doesn't look that different to how I am now anyway. I quite often get told that I look a lot younger in person than I do in my pics so I guess it evens out. I like it when people take the time to make themselves look good.

we learnt early never to trust pics or peoples ages etc. People use photos that are a few years old, leave their ages a few yrs younger. We got ourselves into a few sticky situations when we first started swinging, but its true that you learn from your mistakes. We are now very straight to the point about clear face photos a must. not some grainy camera phone photo thats blurry and dark. We update our pics every few months if not more, just so that people know we are who we are, and we are always forthcoming with our PG if we really want to meet someone. Its usually always the people that say they wont put face pics in the PG that will be the ones to stuff you around and not be who they say they are.

Our experience is very limited, but we took some new photos when we set up the site. We'll definitely update them as we go because what's the point otherwise? Besides which, we are both exercising a lot - so we hope to become more attractive. We ask people how old the photos are, and tend to reject anyone who contacts us with just a pic of their bits as well. We both tried to make our photos as attractive as possible, and went through heaps, so we tend to look for other couples who have shown the same level of care. Good luck! D

We are from the non Metro area, love to see something representative of who or what folks are (within reason). Being country folks, it's time and petrol no matter whom. We do absolutely have to have a facial before meeting if only to ensure we don't front up to the wrong folks in a public situation Hey, in the country we also place lots of trust in what we see. With minimal home-work, we are normally not disappointed. When we have been let down, everyone except desperadoes would have not stopped to stay hi. Yes we only have one public pic, others available on email when meetings maybe imminent. Thanks

people don't put enough effort into presentation. but, having said that, it has to be honest presentation. showing pics that are 5 or even 10 years old is dishonest and misleading, as is showing pics that belong to someone else. our own pics are dues for replacement as they are now 2 months old.we haven't changed, but feel that a fresh outlook may help to attract new people. pics will include something of the two of us (not just in our p.g) , as we have learnt also that both of us must be shown. its a shame others have yet to reralise this.

lol... I've seen people on other forums using other people's pics! Now how bizarre is that... .and I'm only 34 in Red Hot Pie years. Some of us dont want public face shots exposed for work colleagues to discover.. so I got a picture of my wobbly bits hanging around there in public... and a fresh face pic in the secret sealed section... just like they did for me whne I did the centre fold for Dolly Magazine ... only inversed... but with a cockshot stunt double *wink*

It does work both ways for us. Yes we do have some great shots on our profile and msamour is a very photgenic girl, but how many people fail to read the profile as well. We are painfully clear about who we are and what we are after and still people get taken by a nice...might i say truthful pic...without doing a bit of reading. And yes wtf does a picture of your wobbly bits tell us about you except that maybe you should see a doctor about your wart problem lol. We are not for everyone...and many will pass us by, thats why a well thought out...at least filled out profile saves so much time.

Its funny that you'd say that photos that are five years old are dishonest & misleading yet your own photo dated 08/012005 are four & a half years old. you're a bit out of date aren't you ? Your comments are as follows - showing pics that are 5 or even 10 years old is dishonest and misleading, as is showing pics that belong to someone else. our own pics are dues for replacement as they are now 2 months old. Two months old ? try four & a half years. Hypocritical or what ? If you want to bung it on, get it right yourself.

hmmm the date on our pics says that as that's the date the camera was set on. i can absolutely guarantee that the earliest pics taken on our profile were in fact taken January 4th of this year. the camera is a Kodak and unfortunately reverts to its original date whenever i replace the batteries. there is nothing untrue or misleading anywhere else on our profile, but i do apologize for my error in not amending the dates.

passionate lovers i do believe you owe an apology for an accusation that's entirely out of place. dont crucify us for an honest mistake. having said that, i wonder how many other people forget to adjust the datestamp on their digital cameras?

Yes, you can talk "PassionateLoverz", you've made a big effort, and put it out there, good luck with what you’re looking for, and grow a BRAIN before you criticise others when you can't even make the slightest effort to post a PIC and post in the forum to take the shit out of others that do. At least some of us make "some" effort.

We're so sorry Mike & shel that we got it so wrong. Your photo that has the date of 08/01/2005 but is really only a few months old because when you change the batteries the camera reverts to the original date is totally believable. The fact that you have made a point about misleading photos while having one that would at least appear to most people to be four & a half years old was something that caught our eyes but since you've taken the time to explain it we're satisfied that despite you uploading a photo that clearly has text that reads 08/01/2005 its really only a few months old. Well thanks so much for clearing that all up. Have a great night now won't you.

I would rather take my chances on mikeandshel who look hot 4 years ago than passionateloverz who have no pictures at all. Do what kidnappers do, hold up a copy of that days newspaper. Only kidding folks who could be bothered.

A a matter of fact we have had clear face photos & a video intro which were updated regularly until quite recently. We have removed all due to the fact that we are not seeking new contacts with this profile anymore. The initial post that we responded to by Mike & shel was one that claimed people with old photos were misleading. The fact that Mike and shel's photos had a date of 08/01/2005 was merely highlighted by us. You can carry on all you like about who you'd take your chances with but the reality is that the post was centered around the age of peoples photos & how old photos could be misleading, not a lack of photos or who you would take your chances with. Just a quick look at mandn's profile will reveal a couple with only one partner's photo. How the fuck do you make a couple from one person. Once again if you want to bung it on get it right ok.

We've put some pix back up that we previously had on. The photos are around two months old & include multiple shots of both partners. We are not obliged to show photos but we have nothing to hide. As mentioned previously, we have had a full set of photos for the last few years that were always updated to our most recent. We also had a video intro in our public gallery for almost one year which to the best of our knowelage was the first & maybe the only video by a couple on RHP. Many people used to contact us commenting on that. Saying that they'd never seen a video from a couple. We'll only display them for a limited while our sincerity has been questioed because as mentioned we are not seeking new contacts. Hope we can move on from this now.

have had photos of both up in the past... in our opinion, they are a good looking couple, so it's not likely their current lack of pics has to do with that... perhaps they're not looking atm... MrsP :-)

Thanks for the info. As it turns out, we aren't actively seeking atm either hence the reason for no pix for a while. For someone to say that you are Bogus & that you have no worthwhile opinion is both outrageous & ridiculous. We're all entitled to have our pix up or not. We take exception to couples who only have one partner pictured. Thats straight out bullshit. If you can put one partner up they should put both up. We've posted several forums on the subject & at the end of the day people will do as they wish but MandN fired the first shot. If they're not looking atm why have one partner's photos on ? Anyway we've made our point & hope that is will end that now.

Hi guys, you're welcome to the little I knew and the bit I added for no good reason at all :-) I remember your post introducing your video intro and we had a look at the time, it was excellent to see someone using the feature. When you say, "We take exception to couples who only have one partner pictured. Thats straight out bullshit. If you can put one partner up they should put both up.", I imagine you are talking about face pics in which case I wonder if other couples like ourselve feel more confident showing the partner, (the woman in our case) whose face, (part of, in my pic) is less likely to be randomly recognised because they come across far fewer people on a daily basis. We are only have seeking straight guys atm though and not actively, so I figure it is probably fairly irrelevent to them what hubby looks like anyway lol. But aside from when we first joined and had both our face pics up (now in PG), we have only ever had pics of me (partial face or body usually) even when we were seeking couples. We don't take my pic down when we're not actively seeking either but do put up an update in our profile heading and our about me & ideal match boxes, sometimes we also set our profile to offline so we don't come up in as many searches. Cheerio ;-)

Geeze... with all this bitching going on over a few old photos there's gotta be one somewhere showing a bit of ... you know... a twist. So get creative. Fact is... I'm a bit of a fan of swimwear.. and underwear photos.... and footy shorts.... so get to work people... I mean.. us perves are not gunna hang around here all day while you cock arse about arguing over how old you should have been when you looked slicker than a lubed up beanus. Who cares... so turn the lights down... apply the baby oil... don your best pair of frilly undies... and give us a shot of your snapper. Hugs Gazza - I'm just living the dream, bebe.

Thanks Peachy. We usually don't take our pix down while we're not looking either. Like you we'd probably tick the offline box or otherwise try to organize a future meeting etc. We are actually near the end of this membership & are going to close it down in the near future. That was the reason for no pix. We haven't used this profile in recent times really apart from answering some queries by some members regarding Debauchery. Being as we're the only people to have ever written a party review for Melbourne's most popular & best swinger's party < Our honest opinion only >. We have already opened a new account which is substantially different in content than this one. For that reason we prefered a new profile rather than another facelift with this one. What we're up to now overall is very different than straight couple to couple, although we still do that too. Being as we've been associated to some extent with Debauchery via the party review, we felt that a changing the text in our profile wouldn't fit well with that. As for the question of couples pix. Most couples are looking for other couples or at least claim to be. On that basis it seems only fair to show both partners & most would surely agree. There are exceptions to any rule & off course you've highlighted a classic. If you're only looking for straight males, of course they'll have little or no interest in hubbies looks. As far as face pix go. Each to their own. We've never ever said that anyone needs to show face pix in their public gallery. Thats entirely up to the people involved. Face photos in a PG is in our view essential though. There are still lots who don't have any preferring msn photo swaps etc. Usually guests prefer this method coz they can't view the restricted pix. That pretty much sums it up really. Peachy Pear, we're so pleased that you remembered our Video Intro forum post. Unbelievably it got two responses. Silly us for thinking people would take up the technology. Still think its strange that so many seem to like chatting on cam by nobody has since had a video intro. Ours was on until very recently, almost a year. We updated it several times, around every six to eight weeks. Take care, & enjoy.

Ahh the good old misleading pics led me to think of the FGAS otherwise known as the Fat Girl Angle Shot. Did a quick lookup online and found a good place with some example pics but don't think I can post a link so just look up fgas and go for the one that is in encyclopediadramatica. Has some good examples there. I think it is senseless having pics that are too old or FGAS type pics but I will go one further. I also don't like when someone has 5 pics and they are all from the shoulders up. I mean one head shot maybe 2 but let's see the rest of you. Actually I have three from the chest up but only because I have changed them from others. Hasn't made any difference what pics I put up, none work for me. Another bad one is those ones done professionally making someone look 100 times better than in real life, fantasy shots, I can't remember what they are called. The best are those that have a bit of variety in their selection. It is ok to have an older pic if you still look like that, but ensure you have newer ones as well. Don't have heaps of headshots, we can tell from the first one what it looks like. Have a full body shot, without contorting your body to hide the bad bits. A simple formula I saw once If the pic is from a very high or low angle - they're fat If the pic is blurred - they're fat and/or ugly If there is lots of special effects on the pic - they're fat and/or ugly If it's just head shots - they're fat If they don't show their face - potentially ugly That wraps it up boys and girls

Hello All, We have been deceived by many people with old pics and take no notice of them anymore. We are happy to webcam and these days cams are so inexpensive that there is no reason to not have one, that way we get to see the real people like they look now, not like they looked 5, 10, 15 years ago. We see this as an easy way to get around the problem. Have an awesome day all JJ & Pete

We like to show a cross section, via photos, of who we are at this point in time. Things and people change over time. In our profile atm we have some from the early days <4 years ago> thru to where we are now. Its nice to know what people looked like at that age...everyone was young and tight once...then we age and things sag/whatever. agree one can do wonders with angles/photoshop etc....some people are photogenic lol. good thing to do is webcam. That sorts out the pretenders at least. Wasting time is avoided by being up front and asking the hard questions early. We are pretty clear re what we want from our playmates yet still get hit on by people who are clearly not what we seek. I hate timewasters. If a profile doesnt have a pic at all I dont even bother with a look ...no matter.....fakes. Mars

Yeh i hear yah some peoples photo's are ssssooo not them or taken in 1978. Mine are so me about 6 months old now though. Not sure what its all about cause you get found out pretty darn quickly and word does get round the chat rooms too. Everyones got a digital camera now so photo's should be of good quality and fairly recent. We all have friends who can take half decent photos of us so i reckon there is no excuse for bad misleading photos. Its the risky ones that needs a "good" friend to take,lol.

We have lots of effects on most of our pics but that's our style and our pics tell couples what we're about. We openly cam and swap standard pics with couples we click with. What we find strange is what is in some of the backgrounds of peoples pics, dirty disposable nappies piled in a corner for example is a real turn off. We understand not everyone has an eye for taking pictures but as they say " a picture can tell a thousand words" a most people look at the whole pic not just the boobs plastered in the main focal point. We were concerned at first about our pics, but after playing with a couple 16 years younger and that the age difference was no barrier at all we found that in person is the ONLY way to really get to know people and see if there's a spark there. Cheers and happy playtime.

every couple we have actually met has been with people where we have not exchange pics beforehand. we find it is a ridiculus and pretty shallow way to judge people. one of our regular partners and now good friends would not have got through the photo stage if thats the approach we took. they just dont photograph well. we usually go out for a drink - if we dont click physically or mentally then we still have a night out even if it doesn't lead to more fun later. so we say less focus on pics :-)

Been there done that we met a couple while travelliing who discribed themselves as mid 40's him a professional rock climber her very attractive I dont even think they used phots of themselves, when they came to the bar we had no idea who they were and given that they were easiy in the late 50' early 60's we did not think that they were the couple we were waiting to meet anyway. Not sure what they were thinking, if they thought that upon meeting them we would still want to hook up. We were filthy with them and it really turned us off. In our Pg we have multiple face pix so that at least other couples know what they are getting into :) LOL have fun
