Hahaha, she's fat. The horror. The betrayal. He thought he had a girl who loved him, but little did he know she was fat. And nothing is more horrific than that. Thank God he found out, he might have started caring about her, like an idiot.
I assumed the joke was his "girlfriend" was a man who's been lying to him, at least that was my initial thought from the exceptionally hairy legs.
Seems like the obvious joke to me too...
Lots of people have hairy legs??
Yes, they typically are men though
It's a he
It's okay to be disappointed if you exchange pics with an online flirt and it turns out they're fat.
It is. It's not okay to post them on the internet so people can mock them because you them unattractive. If she was missing a leg, or had scars from self harm, or burn marks, he probably wouldn't have posted her on the internet so people could join in on his disappointment.
Why is everyone assuming this is about weight? What's the reverse image search part mean? I feel like there's something else to this.
When he attempted to reverse search the image, he didn't find any matches which lead him to believe this is a real photo from the person he's chatting with and not a joke or something like that. There are two assumptions (based on this thread anyway, order has no bearings on which one is more "true" or not).
(My assumption) He is disappointed because the girl is fat/hairy and therefore unattractive and unworthy of his affection.
He is disappointed because the hairy leg makes him think his "girlfriend" is his "boyfriend," otherwise known as a catfish, and he is feeling tricked/embarrassed/hurt/etc.
My knee jerk assumption was weight. When I encounter posts with fat people, I'm used to people responding in revulsion so I took that train of thought.
I think (2) is the far more likely scenario.
This place has become worse than Reddit.
I think you and the other person should switch usernames though you might not be too ugly to live.
I'm hot and dumb
