What, never been catfished before? Had plenty of women do this to me on apps. All their pictures show one person, then they show up as a person and a half. After the date I just tell them "thanks but no thanks, you catfished me."
I think the standard procedure is to finish the date, and then never text them back
No I've never been catfished before. My "type" is queer/weird though, I would never blindly swipe right on the stereotypically attractive straight woman.
How has this happened multiple times?? Are you actually being catfished or are you just talking about people who look fatter than you'd like in person?
I don't know what you're trying to imply, that I "blindly" swipe on stereotypically attractive straight women (how would one blindly do that, I wonder), or that I am judgemental? It has happened to me 3 different times. Women using pictures of them before serious weight gain. all 3 cases it was over 100lbs difference between pictures and reality.
Also my type is queer/weird, as I am queer and weird.
WOW I did not expect this kind of response lol, I'm just saying that if I see a stereotypically attractive woman, I would read her profile to see if she's my type because just by appearance she likely wouldn't be.
So it is about weight gain and not actually straight up catfishing. I feel like there is a difference. I feel like if that happened to me I wouldn't just leave right away, I've made many friendships from dates. If you're so concerned about weight gain that you'd walk away you should consider straight up asking if the photos are recent.
But just based on this response it seems like you're kind of an aggro/rude person in general lol.
Now kiss.
From everything you've assumed about me, to trying to differentiate how you would act, just screams pick me.
You're on the defensive for no reason but ok
because of your baseless accusations lmao sound like someone straight out of female dating strategy
You keep saying I'm making accusations, you need therapy.
lol sorry about your weight
The fact that you have taken everything as an accusation, and then start to call me fat(?) when you feel attacked .... I feel like this is why you have dating troubles I would seriously consider therapy
wow now you;re suddenly on the defensive? why I wonder? you need therapy.
What am I defending myself about here? Are you just parroting what I'm saying because you think I'm insulting you?
? are you saying I'm fat because, um, I'm like chronically underweight and have been my whole life. not much I can or want to do about it, I have a fast metabolism and spend a lot of calories in my active daily life
I usually eat holistically, with nutrition coming from whole grain meals, I guess you just blindly go for carb-centric meals ๐ I also always tip at restaurants, not sure why others wouldn't...
I do eat bowls full of pasta
