I've heard all of that a lot too.

As a man, I can say that, yes, I have to be like a sleuth when it comes to pictures. You learn to recognize certain angles that hide everything, or when there are old pictures mixed in with new ones based on the phot quality. And then with filters and all that. But I don't get why people misrepresent themselves so! It's just wasting everyone's time.

And yea, I've heard a lot of men lie about their height too.
