A new national survey conducted by Meitu, a photo retouch and beauty app developer, found that 33% of women and 20% of men admit to editing their dating profile photos.
Putting your "best face forward" and making a good first impression has become even more complicated by online and mobile dating because they allow us to filter and represent ourselves in ways that may not be entirely honest. In fact, 47% percent of men and 27% of women have encountered a first date who looked nothing like their profile image.
Still, most only tweak their pictures; think erasing somer adult-onset acne or whitening their teeth. And while are okay with some moderate retouching, it appears that nobody is cool with using an app to shed some pounds. According to the survey 98% of women and 91% of men contend reshaping faces and bodies in photos is not okay.
