Pretty much.

And like someone else said, she's not even cute.

But good for her? I'm pretty sure he's not going to lose a second of sleep over her.

I'm not sure how I would react if one of the girls that wouldn't give me a second look or rolled their eyes at me years ago started showing me interest today. She wouldn't get anywhere with me, I'm just not sure if I would be toxic about it or not.

She didn't get any revenge. She just boosted her ego by having the opportunity to turn another man down.

This woman is very immature and missed out on a great opportunity to grow. Eight years is a long time, ESPECIALLY as a teenager. Personally, I'm more impressed by the guy's response than the girl's letter. She's a coward.

+1

She's still below average looking, imho.

Actually, as someone pointed out in the comments there, if it started in grade 8 and went on for 3 years, that was most of high school. That can do a lot of damage to a teenage girl, and obviously it did damage her if she came out of the experience with an eating disorder. He was old enough to know better, and youth and ignorance are no excuse. Let him stand as an example.

I'd probably be really nice to him, on the grounds that he would feel bite-sized when he realized it was me.

And for you guys who are nattering on about how you think she's not pretty, that's not the point. However, it's so typical that the first thing some of you are doing is relegating a woman's worth to her looks, as though whether she is attractive to YOU has anything to do with whether he deserved what he got from her. I tend to doubt that you would be saying the same thing if she looked like Scarlet Johansson or whoever you think is the ideal beauty. Then again, sour grapes can be pretty potent. Many a woman has been called ugly or a name after turning a man down.

We don't have sour grapes. She didn't reject us. We are just making an objective observation.

And what does that observation have to do with this thread?

She wrote all over her letter that she thinks she's very attractive when she really isn't. It says something about her personality and character.

She absolutely did not! Did you even read the letter?

Only thing she said about her current looks was that HE deemed her "effable enough" to "treat like a human being." That in no way, shape, or form alludes to her own view of her attractiveness. Good grief!

And guess what? What YOU, or any other guy on this thread, think about her looks is irrelevant. HE obviously thought she was attractive enough to ask on a date. Oh, he tried to play it off as just wanting to "meet up with friends," but come on. That's more than likely an attempt to save some face.
