She didn't really look like her pic anymore. Clearly taken like 2 years ago. I gave her one glance up and down and told her this won't work out, then left the bar. She did text me later, but I was done with her. Whats the protocol in these situations.
This just shows no class whatsoever. I'm sure I've played the fatter than expected role on a couple of my dates but a person with some class would not blow me off after maybe two seconds and one look. I could not look myself in the mirror if I ever did anything like that to anyone. You should be ashamed of yourself.
What is he supposed to do? Waste his time and money acting like he likes her or is interested? Maybe it would have be better if he acted like he liked her, slept with her, then dumped her. Would that make you people happy?
So men can reject a woman for not being attractive enough and it is acceptable behavior yet women can not reject a man for not being wealthy/well-endowed/tall/handsome/etc.?
What makes you think that you deserve an attractive woman? If you possess the qualities that attractive women want then this wouldn't even be an issue. Are you attempting to date higher than your own level of attractiveness?
You are completely missing the point. This has nothing to do with that. I don't feel entitled to attractive women. I know that I must have a lot of value if I want to date attractive women which is why I've worked hard on improving myself the past few years. But this has nothing to do with that. This thread is more about not wanting to date insecure liars. I hate deceivers. I see nothing wrong with feeling entitled to honest women. I don't want someone lying to others and themselves.

The double standard is astounding.
What are you talking about, women do that all the time! I've seen women on here say a man has to have a certain amount of education, he has to make a certain amount of money, he has to be a certain height, he has to have a certain penis size. I know you're not that naive.
Wow. People are really all over the board on this one, depending upon their experiences.
It is harsh when a blind date lies about her age and weight. (or his age and weight).
And it is brutal to walk out on them. But frankly. In my humble opinion. I don't blame you for walking out.
It was wrong for them to so blatantly misrepresent, and that started it. Ahhh....dating sux.
I can't even recall the amount of dates I went on that originated online where the guy fibbed and added as much as 8" to his height. One very memorable guy was AT LEAST 100 lbs heavier than his pictures, and 6" shorter than what he said he was.
I NEVER ONCE looked at them and then said 'no thanks' and walked out. Did I appreciate the lying? No, but I'm also not about to make someone feel even worse about themselves because of it. I had a drink, then said thanks and left. No big deal.
Sheesh I went on dates that the man didn't even look like his pic. One guy sent me his brother's pic. O_O
