Yea…“Them Babies” what part didn’t ya understand???
Good eye Miss. Etiquette. Now ya can run along and play elsewhere.
That this situation might be better expressed in a country and/or western tune.
LOL…Whatever turns ya on Cowgirl!
I wouldn’t have bought it either except I have a friend who I can see getting caught up in this exact situation. She’s too trusting and won’t speak up for herself. She’s 52 years old and gets herself into all kinds of awkward and scary situations though it was worse right after she got a divorce.
Was this man from West Virgina tall and rugged, with blue eyes?
Well, in all fairness, it is peak Fall colors.
I heart you, Slith.
I chatted w/ a guy I ‘met’ through an online dating site for about 2 months (we exchanged 3 books each, even) before agreeing to meet him in a mutually agreed on halfway point. The week before I’m due to get on the plane he lets me know, just in case I have questions when I see them, that he’s self-mutilated the bajeezus out of his limbs. W/ a soldering iron. Out of self-loathing. But he can’t wait to meet me! And he’s medicated! When he can afford his meds. Which he can’t right now, as he just adopted a stray cat. That he hopes he never hurts.
No, thank you.
Or the guy who in his 3rd email when I mentioned my cats told me that they drowned unwanted kittens on the farm he grew up on. delete delete delete
The only believable part of this story is that you eat at Pizza Hut.
You have other stories of bad dates?
They’re not so much stories about bad dates, more about bad life decisions.
Well, I have a story about online dating, but it’s nowhere near as bad or as interesting as that. Basically the girl only showed her face in pics, and then when I met her in person she turned out to be really fat.
I met this girl online, on match.com. I was talking to her via email for a while. Then it progressed to text messaging and phone calls. She seemed fairly nice and intelligent, so I agreed to set up a date in person. At one point I even said something like “yeah, You seem really pretty too :-). it’s too bad the pictures only show your face.”, to sort of hint at the fact that I wanted to know what she actually looked like besides her face.
Match.com had asked what type of body types I’d accept. At first I said “no preference”, but then after i didn’t like the results, I unchecked “full figured”, plus whatever the 2nd fattest one was, and “toned/athletic”. I’m not really that toned/ athletic, so I figured that wouldn’t be fair or realistic to think that a really athletic woman could would or should be attracted to me physically. And I dont like girls who are too skinny. I left “curvy” on there. The girl had, in fact, described herself as curvy.
I like girls who are curvy. I prefer them, actually. But to me, curvy means proportional breasts, hips, butt, and in general a fully developed body with a healthy level of body fat. I don’t consider a girl to be curvy if she’s too thin and has no T&A, or any body fat. However, at a certain point I think someone can be too overweight to be curvy, and thats what she was.
The poor girl was HUGE. She didn’t have curves. Instead, her body was more like a large cylinder. Her body didn’t really seem to have curves, bc each part of it stuck out as far as any other part.
She had asked me before hand to grab a bottle of alcohol and that after we went out, we could go back to her apartment, drink it, and watch a movie. I honestly wasn’t feeling that well, so after the date, I declined to go back to her place and just went home. I mean, honestly I knew that things weren’t going to work out. We didnt get along great enough to make up for the fact that I just felt absolutely zero physical attraction towards her. I didn’t want to sleep with her bc I had no intention of dating her.
I wish she had been more straight forward about her looks in the first place. They aren’t THE most important thing, but they DO matter at least somewhat. I want to be with someone I am attracted to mentally and physically.
I take care to exercise regularly and watch what I eat so that I stay in shape and don’t get fat. So… I dunno. That’s the story. Probably pretty typical in the realm of online dating.
Very short doesn’t always translate in pictures either. Especially sitting/crouching poses, or those holding a small child.
Of course!
I see you have jokes too…HA…Did that make ya feel better?
Nope! Was that a wild guess?
eek. Thought I was in the pit. Thankfully had time to edit before 5 minutes were up
Well don’t be shy. I’m sure we’d all enjoy reading more of your adventures.
Yeah and the thing is, why do people bother to hide stuff like that? I am straightforward about what I look like in my pictures, and I tried to write my profile to give an accurate impression of my personality. Again, why bother to hide it, especially physical stuff? To me, that almost implies that they know it’s bad.
The other person is going to find out anyways once they meet in person and it isn’t fair to trick or deceive them. They could end up feeling duped, being pissed, and thinking you’re deceptive. Especially they were perfectly honest and accurate in their pictures. If I have lobster claw hands, the girl is either going to like me with them or not. Waiting to surprise her with them in person is just going to waste my time if she isn’t. It’s not like she’d be like “damn, tricked again! Now I HAVE to like / date you.”
Sometimes it actually seems almost somewhat hypocritical of them to me. They are almost admitting that they themselves wouldn’t want to date someone very unappealing physically or whose body they couldn’t see by only picking people w pics who are attractive. They are looking for someone for whom looks don’t matter at all, yet they themselves are not like that.
I have a friend who is fat and it always bugs me when I hear him talk about how he would never get with this or that chick because she is fat. I just want to be like are you serious? Do you not realize that YOU’RE fat? Why should there be a double standard, what makes you think you’d ever have a shot w her anyways? If I had the chance I’d gladly take her.
I know they say don’t sell yourself short, have confidence, etc etc, but I try to be realistic. I realize that some girls are honestly just out of my league in one way or another and no amount of wishful thinking will change that, but that’s fine. They can do better and there’s no reason why they shouldn’t. I just wish other people would be more realistic as well.
Yeah, your story does sound awful to me. It sounds pretty odd to me that someone would have internet access but not running hot water. Kind of misplaced priorities there.
Anyway, I am glad that guy was just a bum and not someone dangerous. Unfortunately there are stories out there about people being killed by folks they met online. I hope that you’ve found someone better than that by now.
