There might not be drawbacks to kicking off a potential new relationship by intentionally presenting a less-than-flattering version of yourself, according to experts 👇
y friend Stephanie met a guy on Coffee Meets Bagel. His pictures were"average-looking" but she liked his sense of humor and his messages were kind. But when he showed up to their first dinner date, she was stunned: The dude was ripped. And handsome. She described him as"beefy Robert Pattinson with striking turquoise eyes." His photos didn't do him justice at all. Stephanie was pleasantly surprised by his appearance, but also confused.
But, while Quinn agrees reverse catfishing isn't necessarily a red flag, she wouldn't recommend folks definitely try it, as it could be a turn off to potential matches. “Authenticity often scores people the best and most compatible, matches,” she says, and even though sharing a not-great photo of yourself isn't lying, doing so with the intention to manipulate the way someone may receive you isn't reflective of being totally straightforward.
With that in mind, Kociuba says writing a profile that will attract the right mate is more important than using a good or bad photo. “The biggest thing people miss when writing their profiles is talking about things that they value; naming the things that they’re super passionate about and not just saying, ‘I like to go hiking.’ Why do you like to go hiking? Why do you like to go to the beach?” she says. “People forget to put the meaning and the passion behind what they like to do.
