were there clear body shots?

The angle pics are pretty easy to tell right away imo.

Got to look for full- or 3/4-length photos where the body is visible (no baggy clothes, strategically-placed items, etc.). If you saw those, and they weren't representative, then you were basically lied to. If after meeting her you can see how the pictures were reasonably accurate but just well-chosen to hide the weight, then learn how to conduct due diligence.

Either way, it sounds like weight is a deal-breaker or very close to it, and that plus some degree of deception means no repeat. The key difference, IMO, is if you were straight-up deceived, then you're fine saying so and leaving. Otherwise, stick it out, be polite, and just don't go for a second date. Well, IMO, anyway.

Did she have any full body pics on her profile? If not then I’d take that as a red flag as if they’re trying to hide something.

But I can’t help wondering how intentional this was.


Foods expensive and clearly she likes to eat. So yea it was intentional. She wanted you to pay for her food.

My wife tells me it works the other way, also. She was single for about 15 years before we met in 2017, and she met dates frequently online. Often when they met IRL, the guy was obese, and on one occasion, he was paraplegic (didn't show up in his profile and didn't mention it on the phone).

Exactly. I’d be so mortified.

Very intentional.
The more important message relates to honesty going forward.
Assessing that message is NOT shallow.

I mean, 40 lbs is a pretty big discrepancy.

Yes, but based upon her appearance today, that picture must have been an older one.

Yes, I agree. And that is no exxageration on my part either.

Unlike most that I "talk" with, she had her social media pages secured fairly well.

And usually, if I can get a phone number, I can reverse search them, and find more information about them, but not for this one.

Your 41? I thought you were at least in your 50s based off your car buying advice. Most women your age aren't worth your time but props for putting yourself out there. Good luck.

I'm 50. She was 41. I'd rather date younger.

And? I don't have to convince you to like me. I just have to convince you that you need me to like you.

I look like an early graying human Shrek, my wife is a cute little thing. I can assure she didn't look at me and think, he's a beautiful adonis.

It was more of...this 300lb bear is in human clothes.

She's quite the savvy one.
