I had one of those dates!
Browsed the ads and met 4 or 5 that were total losers so I made an oath not to answer any without pics. I found one and she looked nice, sounded nice, so I said BINGO. Conversed via email for a week or so and set up a date.
I got there a little early and was standing at the bar. Pretty soon this enormous chick walked up and said "Pete?" I say "Yes" she says "I am SoandSo" I go
In the pic she looked about 150lbs or so, not tiny, not big, just average. The female standing in front of me smiling and gazing at me like I was a pork chop was every bit of 5'-6", 350lbs.
Me not being an ass, despite the kramer I will no doubt get for this story, just went with it and did not visibly show the total disgust and anger I was feeling. So we go to the table and order. I am doing my best at the chit chat thing. Finally, the feeling of betrayal gets to me and I tactfully say "You know when you walked in I didn't recognise you. You don't look like your picture". I immediately avert my eyes back down to the half eaten shrimp basket, when she says it.
I shiat you not........................
"Oh, that picture is 9 years old, I don't like my recent pictures because they make me look fat."
I was shocked, I felt my face turn red, my heart rate began to race, I developed a twitch and will all my might I fought the urge to pour my mug of beer over her head, get up and walk out stiffing her for the bill.
But I did not! I was honorable and sat there making small talk. The date was over and I went home. She sent me at least 10 multi page emails professing her love for me and how she was perfect for me.
