I recently posted a profile on a dating site and used a pic from the web, however I cannot find the site I got it from again so am stuck with only the one picture.

My question is: have you ever changed your characters image near the begining or halfway through a bait and not had the lad notice?

I'll string them along a while with the usual lost my hard drive bit but just wondered if anyone has had a similar problem

cheers

A lot of lads never ask for a pic beyond the first one. Some don't even do that. If you're really worried then look for someone that looks similar, or use the same tricks we use when asked for a passport.

All the time.
I started with a pic of a blonde girl and found a few other, unrelated, blonde-girl pics which I dropped in to the bait periodically and which were never queried.
Don't make life complicated.
There's very little chance you'll get questioned.
If that does happen I'm sure that you can explain why you have grown or lost a few inches, or developed or lost freckles or whatever else has changed between pics.

Another thing I learned early on that works it when you find a good photo, crop the face for the 1st pic. When they ask for another, send the full pic. They do the same thing. Wink

I have confessed to a couple of lads that the first pictures I have sent were fake. A girl can't be too careful on the internet. It lends credibility to your story when you tell them the "truth". Nine months later I still have both of them.

I have also reverse flipped the image and blurred the background, darkened or lightened the hair and/or changed the color of clothing. I also found far away shots of people and sent those saying, I'm the third on the left and that sort of thing.

Ow, sure.. Starting a love bait sending out a picture of a grumpy 80 year old man, followed a week later by one of a 30-yr old guitar hero .. They never even noticed ..

I've used pictures of similar looking women and none of the lads seemed to care or notice. If any did my plan was to tell them the pictures were taken several years apart, or I had a car accident and had some plastic surgery to repair the damage.

Cheers guys that pretty much confirms that they don't bother looking or are so gullable that they believe anything including how much we love them lol.

Thanks
