Iceberg

An iceberg A term in online dating describing the tactic where women post only chest-up photos to appear more attractive than they are. While they might look like a solid 6 from the chest up, the hidden reality below often reveals a pear-shaped catastrophe of cellulite and disappointment. This phenomenon is named after icebergs, where the majority of the mass—and in this case, the unpleasant surprise—lies unseen below the surface.

"I matched with someone online, but when we met in person, she turned out to be a total Iceberg—her profile photos only showed her from the chest up, and the reality was not what I expected."

"Be careful when swiping right; you might encounter an Iceberg, where the profile pics only show the tip of the situation."

"My friend warned me about the Iceberg effect in online dating—people can look entirely different when you see the full picture."

"It's frustrating when someone pulls an Iceberg; it's like they're hiding half of the story."
