But, then he'd be "lying" about how he wants to dress, and he'd be expected to dress fancy all the time. That's not who he is, it seems.

I'm not on dating apps, so perhaps I don't know all the protocol, but if I see someone dressed for fishing holding a fish, I don't automatically assume they always dress for fishing. If someone is dressed up fancy, it could have been taken at a wedding and no one would accuse them of deception if they didn't always dress up in wedding formal, no?

OP could put a text disclaimer in the post: "The pictures don't represent how I normally dress. I very rarely dress fancy."

You're bringing new meaning to the term "catfishing". 😀
