That profile isn't her. People use fake pictures/pretend to be models all the time.

Here are the reasons:

1) It's internet marketers using a sexy woman to get attention to what they're selling
2) It's women with low self esteem wanting a confidence kick or to see what it feels like being "hot" (I outed one of these on NZ dating)
3) It's trolls with nothing better to do. Th fact there's "herp derp" on this profile I'm guessing this is the case here.

It's so common there is a site dedicated to it www.fakersbusted.com

Why would posting pictures and pretending to be someone else boost your own confidence? If anything it would make me feel worse. O.o

So they can feel hot for a while?

And then they'll feel worse when they leave the computer because they don't look like the person they're pretending to be. How sad.

I know the site and those people exist. I'm just questioning the motives. >.<

Yeah I see what you mean. It's a bit of an odd one. Maybe it's not that at all. I don't know why someone would want to do that either in that regard either really.

Once someone used pictures of me on a dating site. I mean why bother? As soon as you meet the person you will realise its not them.

Wow. Makes me wonder if someone used my pics somewhere...probably not. I'd hope. >.<

It's very common and very possible. But I wouldn't worry about it, their problem. :P

I figure that I'm too big for someone to want to pretend to be me so it seems unlikely to meee. :P

A little levity and playful banter goes a long way in terms of making people smile, laugh, chuckle and have some fun! Just my two cents!
