It was definitely him in the photos, but those photos must have been really old or at least prior to his serious decline in personal hygeine. And yes, even if he had cleaned up a little more, I still would have been pissed at his blatant dishonesty, and I still would have been totally creeped out by his troll-like mannerisms.

They are reasonable requirements. DD , I choked laughing at this exploit, sorry to laugh at your incredulous horror of this person, but laughable is really the only healthy light to in which to look at this one. Even if he had showered and cleaned up(you know, gone out a limb), I doubt it would have made up for the dishonesty. Are you sure it was him..maybe someone else was doing the phone chats A la Cyrano de Bergerac. Anyway, this was briliant...right down to the last three words.Don't fake posters know that as soon as you see them you are going to know they lied and this makes for a crappy first impression? Jeez.

You didn't have a connection of any kind. So FN what? It happens. Calling a fellow human being a troll and ranting endlessly about him doesn't really change anything, does it? You had a few hours you won't get back with someone you just didn't care for. Now you never have to see the guy again. Get over it and stop being such a prima donna. So it was a bad date.

They both wanted me to come on a double date because they were worried he would "try something" and that he didn't get the picture. Not only did she look like a troll and weigh 100 lbs more than I expected, but I had to deal with that. Honestly, I almost went along with it hoping I'd have an incredible story and a chance to be a hero, but when I asked about the guy, it wasn't clear he had any potential to be psycho. It was clear my date's roommate was extremely passive aggressive. Anyway, I am sorry for your frustration. You are on awesome woman. You've probably made some of us guys snort with laughter reading your posts on occasion. Don't let this discourage you.
