Date #17 Charming but Chubby
#17 Charming but Chubby
Guys, do yourselves a favour! When you put a picture of yourself up on a dating site, make sure the picture isn't more than a year old. The guy I went out with last night looked way different than his photograph. As it turns out the photo of him was taken in 2005! In the years since his picture was taken he's gained 4 stone and the lines in his face have increased.
He was a nice guy, but I really couldn't picture myself with him. I want someone a bit younger, a bit cooler. Dare I say, thinner? I'd hate to think that I'm sizest. And I actually do like guys that are a little overweight. I think that's so cute. But when they're pushing clinical obesity that's another story!!!
When I looked at this guy I kept thinking, "Dang, you're old!" He was probably 45 or something. And of course I've dated and slept with guys older than that. The difference was that those guys had a youthful exuberance.
My date last night was nice. He was charming. But I can't imagine it going any further. He bought me a really nice expensive meal which was very cool of him.
I feel sort of bummed out that I keep meeting he wrong guys. What's a girl to do?

I do stumble upon gumtree.com, online dating site profiles, orkut, facebook. Not surprisingly, every girl wants the likes of Brad Pitt or George Clooney (or their ideals) and guys no less than Angelina Jolie or Catherine Zeta Jones or whatever.. so why would a guy put his recent pic on online dating site if tht makes him look old... :) Reading ur post, I wud imagine, U wudn't have ever gone on tht date in the first place if u wud have seen his recent pic :D
I think sizist is fine. And I totally agree about the photo thing. It works both ways though: I once went on a date to discover that she only had one arm. She'd cunningly disguised this in her photos with some strategical 'leaning against the doorframe' shots.
Never again.
