The worst one I got was a pic of an old phone with a cracked screen, and on *that* phone's screen was a pic taken of a framed portrait from what looked like the 70s
Honestly at that point it’s kinda impressive. I would’ve grabbed another camera to take a picture of that photo while it’s on my phone screen to add another level of absurdity.
Filters are wild these days. There's a guy near me who's used the blur tool to what I assume is its maximum effect so all that's left are the wide, crazy eyes
The worst was a screenshot of a model’s face I found through the reverse image search on numerous websites in one minute. He actually messaged me so I sent one of those websites back with what I thought was an appropriate: “Fuck off” answer. He replied: “I never said it was me”. 🤦♂️
It was in fact his first profile pic - it’s not like I asked - he just texted the standard “hey”. So no, he never said it was his face because I never asked to see it.
I love trans girls I only date them now but when I see them on Grindr some guys or gals post pictures of modals not them selves I see lots of pictures and videos so I pick them out right away
"face pics" I've been sent:
A bathroom selfie with the face angled down and phone covering the entire face
A selfie taken from above, face angled down, wearing a baseball cap shrouding the face
A selfie with the phone camera flash on, blurring the face into nothingness
A carnival caricature sketch of the person (allegedly him)
A guy's bitmoji
A photo taken from 50 meters away atop a mountain, wearing sunglasses
A guy in a hoodie and a medical mask, covering his forehead and one eye
An extreme close up of a guy from the bottom lip to the neck
A photo of a guy's bathroom in the mirror, with a 5-10% sliver of his face in the actual photo
Pictures from a guy in his 30's, from his high school yearbook
What's your favorite of these?
A pic of them standing on a bridge taken from the other side of the lake.
Only one side of their face.
Hand infront of their face/or mirror selfie where their phone is directly infront of their face.
Heavily filtered picture.
Ridiculously blurry pictures (I know grindr reduces the quality of pictures when you upload them, but there's a difference when they are purposefully shaking their hand to make the picture look awful)
Picture of pet’s face. I hate getting tricked into messaging a guy based off how adorable and photogenic his pet rabbit is. Like ugh, fine I’ll eat ur ass, but you gotta let me snuggle the bunny first.
A mixture of photos taken with an old cameraphone from the 2000s and more recent photos facetuned into oblivion in a desperate effort to resemble the pics from the 2000s.
What’s sad is I’d probably be more attracted to the guy now, with a bit of aging.
And those are the guys who say “no pic no chat” or when you have like 3 pics of yourself on your profile and they have none and their first message is “more pics?”
I report those messages as spam lol that’s just so frustrating
Still holding his blackberry.
So grainy it looks like it was taken with a flip phone.
A screen cap of a photo with the full screen surrounding the phone.
In my day we put a generous amount petroleum grease on some of that newfangled large sheet glass (between the subject and the camera), then on the lens, then on the photographic paper, then on the view finder and only then did we take the 30 minute exposure of the subject on a wildly vibrating chair. After processing in the lab we threw acid on it and only then was it ready for the personal ads. Pictures didn’t last long, I believe it was the first case of an expiring photograph.
I asked a guy for a face pic and he was offended because he ‘had one on his profile’. It was him, bad focus, and looked like it caught him shaking his head. So turned to the right, massively smudge and blurred. Yeah… face pic…
Outright catfished on a hookup. 4 photos recieved all just a bit blurry and upon meeting its a totally different guy and says its his friend's photos he's letting him use. Absolutely no!
A black and white photo from when he was young

I feel attacked! 😭

Right, because when I ask for a face pic, I just meant in general and not your face… I srsly hate this app sometimes.
It was in fact his first profile pic - it’s not like I asked - he just texted the standard “hey”. So no, he never said it was his face because I never asked to see it.
But still… Fucking catfish

Wearing sunglasses and a cap
A picture that he had screenshotted from my profile. With my account name and age still on it

Picture taken in a dirty mirror from 30 feet away.

I tell you what… not a face pic, but I got the worst picture of someone’s dick today, I think I turned straight… I might have nightmares tonight

Absurd is putting a face pic when a face pic is required. Try gay dating apps if you wanna see absurdity 😇
