Anyone else think fake photos and descriptions are weird?

Imagine if you went to a store that had advertised a 100mL bottle of cologne and you got there and it was a 20mL bottle of Lynx, but they didnt tell you until you paid. I cant think of a better analogy right now but I do find it strange that this is the only market where you dont really know what youre getting until youve paid for it.

I think it’s pretty normal in marketing. Remember when you were a kid and you got a Hot Wheels track or some other toy? The TV ad and packaging art make it look a lot more impressive than what greets you when you open the box.

It’s probably best to think of web photos and descriptions as the TV ad and then reality is what’s inside the box.

Having said that you don’t have to book based on listings. Why not see a line up?

Bad Analogy, with the toys, you still get a Hot Wheels track. But what we're talking here about is "similar look photo" or even just something stolen from a modelling image online, so not even a touch up picture here which the Hot Wheels pictures are basically. We're not even getting Hot Wheels with a lot of these "Not real photos", why not just say "no photos for privacy reasons, come and see for yourself!"

Exactly. The outright lying 'this is a real photo' is particularly bad. If theyre D and you say F cup its just straight false advertising and it doesnt create good will. I just wish if they had a fake photo they would qualify it with 'looks similar' or something like that. Its like, some photoshopping is fine to lighten up the image but liquifying to make their boobs bigger or whatever isnt cool.

What are we supposed to do ? Go and see a line up at all 50 shops in sydney for all 7 days of the week before we get a true idea of whats out there.... ??

I just write off the Ai/Heavily touched up pics unless I hear off multiple punters on the site say that shes worth it. Even then, at times the punters must have beer goggles on

I totally understand bro. Ask for the line up if they refuse walk out. If they are 50yo and not 21yo like their description, tell them they are swindling pos and weak out.

It's the weak punters in the community that have allowed this behaviour then fold anyway because they need to nut. Imagine if every punter had this same attitude?? We could have young girls in every shop. I'm not paying close to $200 for some sleazy poc

I have shunned shops that misled me over fake photos, We need to walk when faced with it and insist on money back.

[Mark Cassin]

I agree but maybe we should submit information too so the WL can pick and choose.

What real description would you use?

I think I would say - I'm a thirty something tech bro, with a sensitive heart and gentle loving manner. I have a hygiene regime that includes 2 daily showers, weekly exfoliation, clean undies every day, and expensive french cologne in small amounts. I'm independently wealthy and reward our romantic connection with gifts and $. I'm loyal like a puppy but self assured enough not to stalk you from shop to shop. Here is a recent real photo
