I'm willing to bet most guys who use dating sites have had something similar happen to them at some point. Oddly enough, it seems to be mainly a girl thing. I haven't seen too many men who were able to manipulate their photography the way we girls do (yep, even I'm guilty). This makes me feel bad, because not only do they fall for it, but we don't even when they make a good attempt. It hardly seems fair.
So I'm going to try and level the playing field a little bit here, boys. Here's a few of the most common photos to watch out for:
# 1: The Art of Cropping
She's decently cute, right? Definitely not a ten, but cute. But just like in the picture above, if we've cut something out of the picture, especially to that extreme, it's usually for a reason. Now, nothing against this girl, but there's a big difference here, no? It could definitely be argued that it's pretty misleading.
All we can really be sure of about this girl is that she indeed HAS a face. Good luck trying to describe her to a police sketch artist, or your friends, or your mom, or the waiter when you're trying to find her in a restaurant for a date.

#2: The Extreme Camera Angle
Gentlemen, if there's one thing I want you to remember about this pose, it's that it can pretty much only mean one of two things. Either "Look at my boobs!", or "I'm trying to look thinner!" I obviously gotta love my big girls, but we shouldn't be trying to hide it ladies. We can't make them date us from this angle!

#4: The Kissy Face
Now, I have to say, I'm glad there seems to be a resounding agreement among the male population that this face is not, in fact, cute. At all. Yes ladies, we look like ducks. The undeniable fact about it, however, is that the affect it has on the appearance of our faces is drastic.
My last example is what I would call a remarkable example of this. Quite frankly, I don't even think I would guess these were of the same girl if you showed them to me out of context.
When in doubt lads, ask for more photos!
