I asked if you can make yourself look thinner by the magic of photoshop, and people said it couldn't be done! Of course it can be done! Anything is possible in the digital world. I mean they are just 1 and 0 afterall.

The first link just proves that inside every morbidly obese chick is a bombshell waiting to be set free. Think of the potential, not to mention improving your odds...:-D

I never said it was impossible... what I said was to do it well, and look natural, you actually need to know some anatomy. Do you have any idea how light plays across the skin? how to change the dimensions of a person without affecting the background? Sure you can skinny up the picture by changing the aspect ratio, this also changes the perspective and proportions. Not every girl will recognize that, if you want the ones without a brain, it might actually work. But if you want someone who is serious and worthwhile, do yourself a favor and do it right. Heck, I found a girlfriend at my current size. I never misrepresented myself, but I also wasn't near as desperate as you seem to be. The fact that I am loosing weight is more important than my skills at manipulating images. Could I? yes. Did I? never. Believe it or not, that actually counted for something too. I had all the skills to manipulate images into a full-out lie, and I never did; that stood out as a very good thing once any of the ladies got to know me. If you are that desperate for a date, do what you must, you don't need our permission. But prepare yourself for the consequences, and don't forget to do it right ALSO, which works better in the long run.

I need to come up with a pic fast, so photoshop first, then diet and execrise. Wish me luck! :)
What are you up to now? (That's all done with the smudge tool by the way.)

I also just wanted to add this. When you find the right girl it won't be this hard. If it's *this* hard you'll never find her. You gotta relax. Women can read desparation like blind people read brail. Yes it's that obvious to them. If your willing to photoshop then your going to come across in other areas equally desparate. Kick back, relax. Get a dog and go for a lot of walks to coffee shops that are kind of far away. Chicks dig dogs, walking and coffee. Your butt will shrink. You'll get a fresh perspective on life and it will be good for you in ways you cannot imagine. Get a membership at a health club and be social. Where I go to work out it's the chattiest dang place on earth. I swear... It seems like everyone is trying to score on everyone or they are just *really* good friends. But you'll find health clubs are a great place to meet people. Pick a hobby that requires classes and that you would enjoy. Photography is one of the best examples and I know so many people who've bought a decent camera, taken some classes, met some like minded people and hit it off. Same with mountaineering. Get some climbing gear (no you don't have to tackle Hood or Everest) and take some climbing classes. There's a ton of healthy social ways to advertise yourself, drop some weight and do it all in a healthy way that will *just* work. Photoshop just seems like mixing drano with flour and hoping it turns out like cocaine. It's just not going to work no matter what you do and you'll hurt yourself if you aren't careful.

So what other qualities do you plan on lying about????

Hah! I was waiting for you to show up. Let's code on on-line dating service called "Liars Love". You and I can get rich and laugh ourselves to tears. My wife and your husband can screen applications, only the most outrageous get in and you and I can code the environment. "Liars Love" founded in 2007 has been a huge success. Founder and cofounder now live happily ever after with their significant others in any tropical destination they choose. (All a lie of course.:-D)

I think it would be easier to ask for the reverse... what qualities does he plan on NOT lying about.

Of course they did. See, Photoshop doesn't have magic. Just a set of tools. Can you use the tools to tweak the apparent weight of the person in a photo? Maybe, if you have the skill and experience. Heck, with enough skill you might be able to pull it off freehand with an air brush. But no, there's no magic "make subject look thinner" button in PS. It's just a (very good) set of tools.

How about using the time in Photoshop to do some self-assesment? Take a self-improvement course. Or 20. I'm sure if they saw your posts they'd let you join for free.

Your first application was started just a few threads down and it's resuming here in this thread. If you aren't laughing yet just wait. It gets better...:-D

If it's that easy, life wouldn't have to be that hard! Also, for the record, I'm not desparete, I just wanted to learn a few new tricks with photoshop, and see if I can do it. ;)

Well I can understand the photoshop part. Honestly, I don't think meeting people is hard. You just have start meeting them and being social. I agree that sounds easier than it is but it's something you practice over and over and suddenly your pretty good at it. Anyway, not a big deal and good luck with whatever it is you are up to. When you finally find Mrs. Right I want to know what you thought of the effort you had to put into meeting and matching up with her.

It still doesn't make yourself look slimmer, only your photo ;P
