Hey guys, your opinion on this one would be much appreciated!!
Say, hyperthetically, that you had been speaking to a girl online, whom from the pictures were pretty fit (HB8). You talk for a while, build rapport, harmless flirting and then decide to meet up in Central London for drinks. She seemed pretty up for it and was very excited about the meet up... As was I!! Anyway I turn up and walk towards the meeting point... Had a look around and couldn't see anyone who even vaguely resembled her. Eventually I pull out my phone and call her... I then see right in front of me someone pick up their phone and started looking around. As soon as I had confirmed this was indeed her I put the phone down, turned around and left the area as quick as I could. Basically she looked nothing like the girl in the pictures, despite claiming they were recent pics... She was about a UK size 16 despite being around an 8 in the pics and to be honest I just felt like I had been taken for a fool.
Would you say I was in the wrong for just walking off like that? I mean the whole basis of our meet up was based on lies anyway, as she had deceived me into thinking she looked like what she did 3 years ago (or however old the pics were)...
I'm not an arsehole, so just want confirmation from you guys as to what you would have done in the same situation.
Peace...
Walking away and not meeting her IS acceptable as she lied. Put it this way she lied and if you did meet firstly you'd be accepting her lie and secondly you'd be lying to yourself. I'll also add that she'd probably not meet you if you'd done the same sort of thing to her.
Many many years ago I was in a similar situation and it's not nice. You do learn to qualify better before meeting. I hate to use this as a generalisation but generally fat girls tend to sound great on the phone.
Of course the looks not matching the photo can work in your favour. I once arranged a date with a 7 at best and when we met she was close to a 10.
