Forty million single people log into online dating sites every month.
Most likely, some of those people are jerks or lie about their appearance. We have all heard stories of gross misrepresentations. What the heck does a little extra padding mean anyway?
I went for coffee once with a woman I met online. She described herself as beautiful and blonde with a “little extra padding” as a result of having a child.
Beauty is very subjective, but the fact that she considered herself beautiful was fine with me. After all, a person has to be very ugly for a coffee to become unbearable.
Rubio was fine with me too, except he forgot to mention that he bought it. Actually, she wasn’t really blonde, but more of a light shade of mud. A little extra padding is where it all went off the rails.
If he had gone to the movies with this lady, he would have had trouble squatting in the chair. Honestly, this lady had more than a little extra padding. She was obese three times.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s perfect or in good shape. I’m 5’9″ tall and weigh one hundred and eighty pounds. Based on BMI calculations, I’m either on the high side of “normal weight” or on the low side of “obese.”
This lady was very overweight, not that there is anything wrong with that. But the fact that she lied about it is what I found so offensive.
One of the sexiest women I’ve ever met was overweight. She could easily handle losing thirty or forty pounds, but she oozed sexuality. She was all class, well organized, and the complete package.
I have nothing against overweight people, but I expected one thing and got something completely different. Because I felt as if she had lied to me, I didn’t see blonde hair, instead I saw mud color. I didn’t see beautiful, I saw ugly.
He seemed like a nice person, but I felt like he was really making fun of me.
All this could have been avoided if she had posted her photo. More importantly, she should have insisted on seeing the photo of her. I learned a very valuable lesson over coffee that day. Now I refuse to meet any woman unless I see her picture first. I’m not saying it’s all that, but I think showing someone else your photo is a good start.
On all online dating websites, it has been consistently proven that men and women who post their photo on their profile are much more likely to have contact with other members.
By viewing a picture first, you can certainly avoid disappointment later.
