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.

😂😂 superficial princess don’t make me laugh
and what has my intelligence got to do with me not wanting to date scruffy looking men?? Surely if I wasn’t intelligent I wouldn’t be able to make the decision not to meet him?? Think you need to have a look at yourself love

I don’t think you’re a superficial princess. You’re allowed not to want to meet someone on basis of looks.

Who?? 😂😂

Well there's a million miles and whole world of people that are somewhere in between a stupid, ugly scruff and a gorgeous genius.

We, most of us, manage to find our place and match up with our appropriate partners, with the odd mismatch and punching up going on here and there. Few of us are insisting on geniuses or supermodels, but it's pretty essential that we find our partner attractive. Even if that only means attractive to us.

If you want to go out with an unattractive slob with bad taste, and with whom you have nothing in common, knock yourself out!

I don’t get it you have no qualms in being blunt why not just be honest
tbh it must shatter anyone’s self confidence to tell them it was ok until I saw a recent picture the only thing you can take from that was you look must look like shit

a more honest reply would be sorry if it sounds shallow but beards and earrings are my thing

cost nothing to be polite

If only there was some clue in the 25 page thread that things might have progressed since the OP…

And even if you matched with einstiene Einstein he looks as scruffy and unfanciable as the earring guy. But that's just me being superficial. Honestly some people think you should give Worzel Gummidge, Frankenstein and Catweazle a chance or you're being too choosy.

MilanoCortina2026 · 24/02/2026 23:22

Not forgetting Hagrid and Mr Stink.

We're immortalising this in Classics. This clinched it, tbh:
