Using fast reply..........
What about the opposite? Someone you look at their photos and wonder......do they have any idea how their perceived lifestyle choice and mine are about two planets apart?
To explain since I have time while waiting on the farrier. A week or two ago I received a short "what a beautiful horse!" type email. I get them often and sent my usual reply. Something like "thank you very much, he is a sweetheart, we've been together for years. I feel very fortunate to have the life I do, that allows me to have my two horses. Have a great day....LaT" No big deal and didn't think anything about it other than the woman that wrote it was stunningly gorgeous and delightfully older than my usual email audience.
The other day I get another email from her. Something like "I know it takes alot of land to have horses...........yada yada.....short and not much info. I'd like to be your pet or something or other..." I had to look at her profile again to refresh my memory as to who she even was.
Again, stunningly beautiful. Perfectly groomed and dressed. One photo in front of an expensive import convertible sports car. Another laying on the floor with a immaculate background and....rather pricy looking decor.
Now I know the appearance of big money spent when I see it. So my brain goes back to her last email. Did she misunderstand my "I feel fortunate to have the life I have" as meaning I've got big bucks and she is either looking for someone on the same financial playing field as her or worse yet, a sugar momma to keep her in the style she has become accustomed? The more I think about this, the more difficult it became to find the words for a reply. I made the mistake once in my life of being a nasty bitch to a very beautiful and wealthy woman. I was lucky enough to get through that and have a wonderful relationship with her. But I certainly don't want to mislead anyone and this woman's profile read well. A lot of similar interests, AND she isn't 23!! (considering the last few I've dealt with, the age is a huge bonus...)
Now me being me, and rarely at a loss for words, at least not for very long....... recovered and wrote a pretty decent email. I expressed my concerns that I may have inadvertently mislead her and that my life is pretty full of work and regular middleclass rural life. No fancy landowner here. Just a 3 acre yard and 8 acre horse pasture. woohoo...... I even ran it past a dear friend that is submissive, just to be sure my tendency for brisk fact giving didn't come across tooo godawful bitchy. (not like that has ever happened or anything... )
So I ask, instead of a scary trashy background in a photo/s, has anyone else ever been taken aback by the opposite?

Just because you are well educated, articulate, and can use big, fancy words, properly........does not mean you are right!

RE: "Revealing" backgrounds in pics - 
Profile
wonderfully entertaining and informative! 
are you talking about...which lead me to not chucking them into the bin and wearing them every second week on one day where we had to attend college just to "keep her happy..." She also had judged me on the fact that I was not wearing a jacket when I attended an interview at a new placement as I had resigned mine and therefore needed to get a new one in order to continue my course...she seriously said that the fact that I was not wearing a jacket would already be a reason for her not to employ me if she would have a say in it...
