No way you can change things like the chin & lip, cept for plastic surgery, and then who ever changes them for the worse?
Well, unless they have a really good photoshop program and are skilled at using it, but I doubt that's the case.
Have you been defrauded by the photos and the profile. I'd say yes you have. Are you going to get anywhere with Chnlove in trying to get a refund? Based on other brothers who have tried, I'd say it's not likely.
I have to agree with Chong, this has been discussed before.
I guess that we are all here looking for true love, really looking for our life's partner that it makes it even more difficult to deal with the fact that we run into such situations. Plus the ChnLove web site won't let you send out more then a small number of admirer letters to ladies. I found this early on. the warning came up that these ladies are here looking for honest true love and marriage to someone genuine so you should be discriminating with how many admirer notes you send out. I guess this practice leads us to believe that all the ladies here are genuine. What I found out early on after coming to this forum that, that is not the case. I guess I have a more jaded view of the world. I figure hey, I got boondoggled, shame on them for their deceit. On the other hand, this IS the internet, and scams are here just as much in the real world. I guess I just rack it up to the "cost of doing business." Now mind you I'm not here with an open wallet and just dishing out cash all over the place, but sometimes I just sit and kind of roll my eyes when another "HEY I got swindled" thread comes up. Maybe that's a character flaw of mine, and I'm willing to admit it. But the truth is that we all have our horror stories. Weather it's from an internet dating site where we were given fake photos or we've met a woman in the real world that turned out to be other then who she represented herself to be. I'd venture to guess that is part of the reason most of us are here, we're tired of the crap dished out by the western ladies. But truth be told, there are ladies who will dish out the crap in any part of the world.
Now I don't want to sound cold hearted. Larry, I'm really sorry you got swindled. I've been there, I know how it feels, and I hope you don't become as jaded as I get sometimes. But in all honesty I think the best thing that you can do is pick yourself up, brush off the dirt and move forward with a positive bright attitude. I hope it doesn't happen again to you, but be aware of where you are and that you're dealing with quite a few unknown factors.
I've read in some posts that the men who have found success here truly count themselves among the blessed ones. I would have to agree, they are truly blessed. Just keep plugging forward. If there is one thing I've learned from this site is that there are a lot of truly lovely ladies who are looking for truthful, loyal and loving husbands, and they will return your love and loyalty back to you 1,000 fold. However, to find those nuggets of gold, you have to wade through a lot of muck and get a little mud in your boots.
With sincerity.
