This mostly applies to online dating though it can apply to blind dates. What do you do when your online date is much fatter or uglier than their picture? I had a situation like this recently. Went to a bar and couldn't find my date. I called her and she told me was at the bar. I finally make out which girl is her. Problem is that she was fatter than her pic. Like 20-30 lbs heavier. 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.

That was nasty.

Always meet up. You never know what they're really like.

I've met some chicks that on first glance were plain or whatever but after I got to know them a little bit more, I realized I was very attracted to them because they were really confident and had their head screwed on straight.

You're a prick.

If they look differently than the pictures you beat off to, you still treat them like a person.

Decency is a thing of the past.

Hopefully you will one day realize who the real ugly person was in your story.

Good grief.

Just when I think there is hope for you, you go and post something like this

What you did was good enough, no point in beating around the bush and wasting each others time.
