..that the person you see in the mirror looks different than the person in your profile picture?
Or is that just me?

    I look in the mirror to put my make up on..I look in the mirror to wash my face..fix my hair..but that doesn't necessarily mean I like what I'm looking at HAHA!

    Yes. I notice things in photos that I never noticed before when looking in the mirror.

    Yeah. It drives me crazy because then I am unsure if I actually look like that, so I ask my Dad or someone around me if it looks like me.....haha. I also look different in my mirror than I do in the mirrors at the store, and pictures my friends take... sigh.

    I tried to find the most REALISTIC photos of myself to put up on my profile.

    And THIS, my friends, is why I don't do online dating. It's a total crap shoot. lol

    I haven't noticed that, but I have noticed the voice I hear on the answering machine is not the voice I hear when I speak.

    OMG! I know. I hate my voice on recordings, I sound so stupid. But when I hear myself talk is sound okay.

    My waistband has been subtly whispering that to me lately, but when I look in the mirror, I still am not seeing it.

    Ive noticed that when I'm in an exercise class, I have trouble locating myself in the mirror bcz I look so different. I'm looking for a very round, short haired brunette and then I see myself and say, "OH look at that strong, athletic looking girl! Thank GOD that's changed!"

    I notice this. The worst part of my job is when I have to page someone- hearing my voice over the speaker makes me cringe. My boss finds it funny the lengths I will go to if I can avoid paging someone!

    And yes- to the OP- I definitely don't think I look the same in most pictures. I like my profile pic, though- it's nice to have one where I am genuinely happy and not just smiling because someone has a camera!

    I always like my pictures better than in the mirror. I am good a buying clothes to hide stuff, in the mirror its all there, stretch marks, scars and flaws. I love my clothes. :wink:

    Here is something embarassing.... my husband and I were taking some progress pictures and our new camera has a "face finder" well apparently my gut and bellybutton resemble a face because when he was trying to take the pictures the face finder was zooming and focusing on my belly..... I hope my belly smiled!:laugh:

    I'm not on that site, but I've been on another, and I've never had that problem at all!! Then again, I do have a fairly stringent "interview" process, haha. :laugh:

    So that's why we don't date.

    Online dating can be awful. I met the best relationship I've ever had in my life once, several times I met some really good fun girls, but mostly I've met crazy people. Awesome.

    Anyway, no, the person in the mirror matches the person in photos. I'm kind of cute. Although I'll admit that sometimes I have a hard time taking photos that show my cuteness. Hmph.
