At least she's upfront about it!

She's reeled him in with body photos taken from the hubble telescope spliced with head passport photos featuring that 'pout' which hides the double chin and the general roundness of her fat heed.

I'm a bit of a cynic so I'm guessing she's had negative feedback after dates due to her photos and probably describing herself as 'average/curvy'.

She breaks the bombshell now so there isn't that awkward moment when you meet free willy and question just what the fk 'average/curvy' is these days.

There is a crossover with women, most slim/average built/festively plump women think they're fat when they just aren't. They have an idea the average body size is much slimmer than it is.

As where curvy/BBW/obese women, Know they're fatter they just claim that the average body of a woman is much bigger assuming you'll fall for this and its not important as their friends describe them as bubbly and the 'funny one'.

It's when they describe themselves as 'bubbly' that you're in trouble.

That's a metaphor for fat and irritating.

"Newest pic looked quite nice" - yeah, taken from that special angle that all the chubbers use to make them look slim in photographs! From any another angle it shows them to be the size 16 fatties that they are.

Is that the one taken high above the head at 1 o'clock looking down on said potential match? Or are there other ones I need to watch out for?

Pretty much, but moandthebairns above has summed it up well, especially the first line .

Ask for a body photo, she'll produce the stock photo into a concave mirror at an acute angle or the optical illusion one with friends that are fat but make her just look just fat not obese.

Quality! If she's telling him she's chubby she's probably the size of a house. Just take her somewhere where you won't know anybody.

Brilliant!

Reminds me of the joke. What's the similarity between a fat lass and a moped? They're both a great ride..... until your mates catch you on one.

Sheekey’s Restaurant, St. Martin’s Court, Covent Garden.

Can you be more specific please, I think I know the place you’re talking about but I’m not certain?

Next time please add

London, Greater London, England, United Kingdom, Europe, Planet Earth, Milky Way Galaxy, The Universe

Très drôle matrignano, I like a laugh, but let’s be fair, while the majority of London’s eligible bachelors would hear Sheekeys, and know exactly where it was, not everyone is that familiar with my fair city.

You could say that maybe they don’t have ‘the knowledge’?

Although I catch your drift, I know quite a few guys who’ve only ever sat in the back of a Black Cab, but have still heard of Sheekeys, and know where it is.

I almost feel like giving up on ever meeting anyone, just accept that I'll be single forever and I'm wasting my time trying. But that's how I've always been in the past and I had to force myself to change and make more effort to be positive and proactive. But all it seems to be doing is giving me a bit of false hope and leaving me feeling more down than not trying.

Take a break from it.

I take it that every male posting on here, mocking"chubby" females and desperate for a date, is built like Adonis, with a tanned six pack and zero body fat

Quite !

Seems very likely that the Adonis-lookalikes on here might just be a bit deluded. If not, then why do they need to join an internet dating site ?

I really think you should stop commenting about the type of people on internet dating sites as you obviously have not the first clue about the type of people on them - which, if you're still unsure, includes pretty much anyone and everyone, including the beautiful and the successful.

Indeed. To see it as some sort of leftovers is amusing. For those who are successful in the non-online world, it’s shooting fish in a barrel online too. The idea that someone ‘needs’ to go online like a face only for radio amuses me.

Ha Ha. I have more than enough knowledge of '........the type of people on internet dating sites' thank you - and, by the way, I don't need your approval to comment however I wish.

How old are you? When was the last time you dated? When was the last time you tried an app based internet dating tool?

You don't need my approval so I will rephrase - constantly casting people who use online dating sites as second tier people who obviously couldn't get a date otherwise makes you look out of touch, indeed your whole attitude towards it reads like someone who read an opinion piece in the Mail on Sunday in 2003 and swallowed it whole.

I wouldn't call myself an adonis but I'm 70kg and an inch or so off 6 foot, so not exactly a fat fker. Or short of confidence. I'm on there because of a combination of working from home, and various friends moving away and/or being busy with wives/kids leaves me with less opportunity to meet people than I had before.

I went on four dates last week. It is like shooting fish in a barrel. BUT I'm starting to find it a bit tedious tbh, two recent ones have had ex issues and others haven't been as they appeared. Think I'll go with a less is more approach from now on.

I wouldn't say people who use dating sites are second tier, I would though say that the experience of going via dating sites is second tier though.

exactly.... not everyone's life style gives a good opportunity to meeting people...
for example take me

- i work from home 80% of the time
- i don't drink so don't go to pubs , clubs , parties
- quite introverted so generally have the same small group of friends for a long time

so by dating online you have the best opportunity to meet as many people as possible .... luckily i don't need to worry about that for now..

I assume its the exact same as the earlier comments about women being hung up on height to the disappointment of some posters on here.

I recall a story my mate once told me about his POF date. He saw the photos, all seemed good so arranged to meet up for dinner. They were getting on great on the phone, chatting away, texting backwards and forwards. It came to the date and he arranged to meet here in town at the bus station. Now busses around my area dip their suspension at the door to allow easier access and egress. This woman appeared, the only woman on the bus, he’s stood there waiting catching a glimpse of his date for the first time date thinking ‘please don’t be her, please don’t be her’. Apparently the second she stepped off he said the bus shot right back up.
He was studying the photos at the meal thinking how the fk can you lie like that and he's no looker. Needless to say a second date never followed.

I posted a similar tale many pages ago. Maybe I was a bit green to online dating back then, but crikey some of these bigger chicks are masters at photographing at favourable angles and subtle filters. I still wonder how much thought they give to what the bloke will think when they're confronted in the flesh with a roly poly. I mean, if he's expecting one, fair enough, but what's the point pretending to be someone you're not. Maybe they think he'll forget that she looks absolutely nothing like her pictures as he'll be so wowed by her bubbly personality.

As for the jibes about Adonis like men, I imagine most of us keep ourselves in reasonable shape, dress half-decent, and have pretty life like pictures. Shouldn't be too much to expect the same in any potential date.
