Do online personals/dating services ever throw in beautiful ringers (like this one)

I was reading the Rotten Tomatoes movie reviews and clicked on this girl thinking she was beautiful movie star I had never seen before and it turns out it’s a personals ad!

I just cannot imagine that a girl this beautiful isn’t covered up with dates from now to the end of the decade. Do legitimate online dating/connection services put in pretty ringers like this to spice up the mix, or do really beautiful people do this for ego gratification?

A link might help

Dayna - Hey Stranger!

I dunno, those eyebrows are pretty weird.

And “rot-iron”?

I vote “legit.”

I bet they are NOT all legit photos.

I joined a Christan dating service whereas you called a number and could listen to ads about men in various categories. You then responded to the mens voice mailbox’s and they would have to call the same central number to listen to your response and respond back. (this way no one had eachothers real phone numbers) The catch is that the guys had to “pay” to hear the messages. The dating service also posted photos on the net but in order to get to the girl in the pic you had to call the central number and leave the girl a message in her box.

Well it turns out the dating service wasn’t so legit. They were found to have ringers leave the guys messages to encourage them to call back. And some of the photos were from magazines.

Did I mention this was a CHRISTIAN dating service? You think they’d know bettter!

Lots of beautiful girls aren’t covered up with dates. Nor do beautiful people only join personals sites for ego gratification. Not to say that the ad isn’t a fake but being beautiful doesn’t mean they’ve got men lining up for miles around. And the reason they don’t is because so many men think they do. So they don’t even bother trying.

Re: the OP link - take a click on the third photo and that looks a bit more realistic! :eek:

Perhaps the first was a professional shot. Have to say, I don’t think she’s that stunning even in that one!

I didn’t see those!

My hand went right to my back pocket making sure my wallet was still there when I saw that third pic! :eek: :eek:

Never mind, it’s gotta be real with that third pic.

True story…from my young single days.

Me and my three friends. Me (I consider myself attractive and never had trouble with dates) my pal Becky short, petite, big boobs, latina, same deal…now my other two friends
Lisa, 5’10, blonde, blue eyed, long , long legs, totally fucking gorgeous, could get dates, but couldn’t keep them past date two becuase by the second hour she was talking about moving in with the guy and by date two she was pickin gout wedding rings! I could see how she would have fit right in with a dating service like that…which is EXACTLY why I will NEVER EVER subscribe to on line dating. It scares me way too much…you really don’t know WHAT you are going to get.

Now my other friend Tracey. 5 ft nothing. Blonde hair green eyes, 165lbs of laughin’ your ass off…she was a total guys girl. Played pool guzzled beer. She was pretty if she was heavy…I don’t know what it was but she got more dates than any of us…still does. It is the weirdest phenomenon I have ever seen. She has more charisma than weight. People, dogs, children…everyone is magnetically attracted to her sunny personality.

Sometimes it isn’t about what you LOOK like.

(bolding mine)

Legit, and she likes fishing! I say go for it!

I found an ad once with a girl who was . . . stunning. The ad was perfect, I mean everything was perfect. The odd thing? The zip code was 00000.

That’s a professional photograph, obviously. She’s certainly attractive, but we would all probably look a lot better in artful black and white.

“In my bedroom, you’ll find: A rot-iron canopy bed”
Rust never sleeps.

I’m sorry, I just can’t date women who don’t know how to spell.

I mean sole and rot are words, but not knowing that it should be soul and wrought is unacceptable.

Yes, I’m picky.

and yes, I’m still single…

Judging by that third pic I don’t her ability to spell is likely to come up in conversation among her peers.

She’s 1/2 Scottish & 1/2 Danish. Guess who pays.

I like her line about, “Lust is Sexy, Love is Sexier”. I don’t see a © after it so consider it borrowed.

Wow. Stunning in the first two pics, hideous in the third.

Those pictures look so much different it is hard for me to tell if it is the same person. Why would somone even put that third picture in the ad is a little puzzling. I don’t look at a lot of online dating ads but some that I have seen make me wonder if they are the real deal. I mean these women are just gorgeous.

According to the survey answers, she plays with herself a lot. Gotta be a plus.

Fishing? Nay, fair eunonia, she favors shoes, like most women. :wink:

I have personally viewed & witnessed photos from ads for other stuff (like job fairs, etc.) being recycled as dating ad come-ons.
