Saying No, when the dating site photo is about 20 years old.

Why do men post photos of themselves taken when they were fitter, younger, had more hair, teeth, were thinner etc. Then you meet the individual and it is a terrible let down. I don't think women go to these extremes so much. How do you let them down gently?

So many men lie about their height too!(or did when I helped a friend who'd opened a dating/friendship company, pre Internet times.) Madness.

How do you mean - lie about their height?

Which way?

One,for instance, claiming to be 5'11 and a half(!) when the reality was about 4'10" when wearing Cuban-heeled shoes. Had to sit on a thick cushion to even see over the steering wheelgrin

Thank you for your reply.

It is awful that he felt the need to do that.

I hope that he found someone, and that she was pleased to have found him.
