The photo was a gorgeous woman, and an unsightly simpleton came on a date. I'm talking about an unsuccessful meeting

Internet acquaintance is now the norm rather than the exception to the rule. After all, it is really convenient to first get to know a person a little, literally without leaving the house, and only then invite him out on a date.

Nevertheless, after recent events, I treat this method of communication with some apprehension and distrust. And now I'll tell you why.

About a month ago, I posted my profile on a dating site. I did not pursue any special goals, but a little tired of loneliness, I wanted to find a kindred spirit. And the very next day one woman responded to it.

She looked gorgeous in the photo: a stately figure, a well-groomed face, a dazzling smile. Well, just lovely, not a woman, you can't take your eyes off.

But she interested me even more when we began to communicate. It turned out that we just have a lot of common hobbies and tastes: we read the same books, we have common views on art, just like me, she likes nature.

It makes no sense to list all our common points of contact - it will take too long. For two weeks on end we corresponded until late at night. In the end, I decided to ask her out on a date - and she happily agreed.

Of course, I went to her. We lived in neighboring cities, and, in principle, it was not long to get there. I prepared for a date very carefully: I got dressed up and down, even updated my wardrobe for such an occasion. I bought a small present in order not to be empty-handed.

And, of course, he took a bouquet of scarlet roses - where can I do without it. Judging by her photo, this was the very gentlemanly minimum with which you could go on a date with her.

At the agreed time in the agreed place, I was already waiting for her in full dress, so to speak, and in a pleasant anticipation of the meeting. But what was my surprise when some simpleton came up to me and... introduced herself as my new friend.

With great difficulty, I saw at least some resemblance to those facial features and figures that were in her photo. Probably, my confusion was evident in my face, because she immediately asked me if everything was all right. And I decided to tell her the truth!

Of course, I understand that you don't drink water from your face, and the character of a person is of much greater importance to me, and not his appearance. But it's shameless to deceive me with your photo, in which there are more possibilities of Photoshop than the original appearance - you will excuse me.

In my opinion, it is simply impossible. Embellishing your appearance in photo editors in order to interest a man is simply too much, because the first impression of reality simply breaks all previous ideas.

In addition, she seemed to have lost the taste of dressing well and looked like she was going to plant potatoes in the beds. The face looked older than in the photo. She said that she was 44 years old, in the photo she was over 35, I would not give. But in life she just looked 44 and even older.

In general, I told her all these thoughts of mine, gave her a bouquet and said goodbye right away. For there is nothing to embellish reality on such a scale. We didn't communicate with her at all.

What do you think: is it worth creating such an image for yourself in the photo when you meet, which has nothing to do with reality? And is it right then to be offended that a man leaves the first date?
