Omg what do I do now?

I’ve been chatting to someone online for the past week, we have arranged to meet tomorrow, he’s just informed me he’s uploaded another photo of himself, as his others were not very clear and quite far away, my god he’s awful, I know looks aren’t everything but I just can’t meet him, Why couldn’t he have posted this one in the first place! He just looks so scruffy with a stubbly beard which I hate, his other photos are obviously older. How do I tell him I don’t wish to meet now? I feel a right cow but I just can’t meet him.

is his name Michael Finnigan? If so it’s quite windy today, those whiskers might get blown in again.

Of course - and some preferences are more shallow than others.

Writing someone off as a potential partner because they wear an earring or their beard looks a certain way is more shallow than writing someone off because they are selfish or lazy for example.

But there has to be an initial spark in the first place.

I find beards and earrings on men deeply unattractive. I also find overweight men deeply unattractive.

Most men probably find me unattractive because I don't have bog boobs and I wear glasses, and that is fine. We all have our own personal preferences.

Depends does he say whiskers?

Yeah him saying he'd grown whiskers would give me instant ick. The unshaven look wouldn't have bothered me but I'm not attracted to beards at all. I would swipe past them for sure. But NEVER call them whiskers 🤮

On reflection I’ve changed my mind. All the best. Bye.

Araminta1003 · 20/02/2026 15:18

Bald and beard rarely ever works and with an earring on top! I get it now.

I don’t think I can post his photo on here.

Hmmm, may not be the best idea, (as tempting as it is to want to see him!) MN may not like it, and may delete it and give you a spanked bottom!

You were willing to meet someone despite the conversation not being good, but have an issue with an earring? Your priorities are all wrong.

It wasn't just the earring that the OP was put off by.

Also, she has every right to not want to meet this man! She doesn't have to give ANY reason. She can just cancel and say she has changed her mind about seeing him. No reason needed.
