WOW I did not expect this kind of response lol, I'm just saying that if I see a stereotypically attractive woman, I would read her profile to see if she's my type because just by appearance she likely wouldn't be.

So it is about weight gain and not actually straight up catfishing. I feel like there is a difference. I feel like if that happened to me I wouldn't just leave right away, I've made many friendships from dates. If you're so concerned about weight gain that you'd walk away you should consider straight up asking if the photos are recent.

But just based on this response it seems like you're kind of an aggro/rude person in general lol.

  1. I read the whole profile, not sure why you assume I don't. Probably the same reason you assumed I just "blindly go for stereotypically attractive women".
  2. I have formed friendships from dates as well.
  3. I never said I left a date right away if the woman was catfishing, I always am cordial, finish the date, and then when they ask for another, I say no, and tell them it's because they catfished me.

From everything you've assumed about me, to trying to differentiate how you would act, just screams pick me.

You're on the defensive for no reason but ok

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

because of your baseless accusations lmao sound like someone straight out of female dating strategy

[–] whoreticulture@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You keep saying I'm making accusations, you need therapy.

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

lol sorry about your weight

[–] whoreticulture@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The fact that you have taken everything as an accusation, and then start to call me fat(?) when you feel attacked .... I feel like this is why you have dating troubles I would seriously consider therapy

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

wow now you;re suddenly on the defensive? why I wonder? you need therapy.

What am I defending myself about here? Are you just parroting what I'm saying because you think I'm insulting you?

[–] whoreticulture@lemmy.blahaj.zone -2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

? are you saying I'm fat because, um, I'm like chronically underweight and have been my whole life. not much I can or want to do about it, I have a fast metabolism and spend a lot of calories in my active daily life

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I usually eat holistically, with nutrition coming from whole grain meals, I guess you just blindly go for carb-centric meals 🙄 I also always tip at restaurants, not sure why others wouldn't...
