You had to go there!

My point was that you are not honest with your dates beforehand, yet you expect your dates to be honest with you, and you're complaining this girl wasn't honest with you. Witholding that you don't look like your pics is okay, but a girl withholding that she's not attracted to you on the date is not?

I never felt the need to mention things that people won't notice as soon as they see me

You're kidding yourself if you think chicks don't notice thinning hair or a fat roll.

But seriously, a lot of women do use men for free meals. Some of my close women friends, my sister, and even my mom admit doing it.

Personally, I have absolutely no problem paying for expensive dates. Im out to have fun and money isnt an issue for me.
I've always paid my own way on a first date, since I was in my twenties. That way, nobody can say I "used them for a free meal."

OP has also complained in the past (while posting as TVSG) that he hates it when women text him after a date that it is "not a good match" and "good luck in your search." So I am not sure what would have satisfied him.

This is pretty much the only polite way of letting someone you've been on one or 2 dates with that you're moving on. TSVG/FBI-whoever needs to learn to discern between common courtesy/etiquette, and behavior that is genuinely inappropriate or off-the-wall.

I would disagree wit that, IMO it's deceptive. It's like looking at a photo of a car you want to buy, driving to the dealer only to find they forgot to show the huge dent on the other side that you can't see in the photo. Sure, the buyer will notice it right away, but they were still denied the chance to decide beforehand based on an honest picture of the car. I would be reluctant to trust that seller, JMO.

If I offer to pay, that means I am not attracted to the guy. If I know I don't want to date him again, I would pay for my dinner. I don't know a single woman who dates for free meals.

Actually its like buying a new used car and noticing a small scratch on the left side 5 hours later
