[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could have been more diplomatic, OP. I don't think this was a situation where it's OK to hurt someone's feelings. People who deceive in their profiles generally get the message... but there's no need to be so aggressive about it.

I definitely went on a fair number of online dates back in the day and the guy would show up 3 inches shorter than his profile stated or with jacked up teeth (I then realized all photos were closed mouth smiles) or something else that maybe wasn’t clearly identified in their profile.

I would have a drink (happy hour glass of wine or cup of coffee or whatever planned) and then make some excuse to cut things short. If they followed up later I’d say I enjoyed meeting them, but didn’t think a connection was there. What is the point of berating them about their appearance or for spinning their appearance as something else in their profile. At some point they’ll have to figure out that their profile is false advertising and they’re wasting time with people who would not be attracted to them in person.

I am a very non-confrontational person though. Not worth my effort to get into a tiff and blocking anyone.[/quote]

I'm the same as you. Lots of guys lied about their height but that didn't particularly bother me since I'm very short. But the teeth thing happened more than once! Also had a guy whose photos were all clean-cut in business clothes, and he showed up looking like Jerry Garcia in a silkscreen Dragon Ball shirt. OMG!
I was too non-confrontational to say anything so I just got through the date and made an excuse to leave after an hour or so. I would try to pay as well. But there was no way I was going to develop an attraction.[/quote]
