I see the "she lied, so I can be a complete douche bag" brigade is still fighting on.....

It's like talking to a brick wall, except that the brick wall is a giant douche.

Yep.

I'm still a little taken back by the ugliness and mean spirited-ness I see in this thread.

Really?

This is just a taste of the ugly that some people have to deal with.

You guys really think they are saying what he did was ok?

Reads more to me that he was rude but less rude than the time-wasting liar.

I think they are both giant winners!!!!

I agree with you, neither were in the right, in my opinion, but coming on here and wording a thread in such a manner, just ups the ick character factor. I imagine if the other person came on and worded a thread in a similar fashion, she would have faced a similar wrath.

Say she came on and worded a thread saying "what would you say to a short ugly elf of an old looking man who didn't like how I presented in person because I didn't look anything like the picture I sent him". I bet people would have had some choice words for her, but, we didn't here from this woman.

Not always "ugly". Just don't fit into a "mold" or little "clique".

Most of ya in this thread have done a lot worse.....

The man upstairs knows it too.

Don't play dumb about it.

The thing is that while she was wrong to misrepresent herself, it wasn't done, in my opinion, in a malicious fashion..... so she gets a much bigger break. I could be wrong, but that's how I view it.

I know that if I was ever to online date, I'd post a pic that was less flattering, just so I could possibly "under promise and over deliver".... if you know what I mean.
