What happened to the thread, I can't find it?

It was a troll thread

greendress789 · 27/01/2021 23:15

Oh man! She made it sound so realistic!

What, why? What could possibly be the pay off? Just to be clear, we're talking about the girl who was planning to wear a pretty animal print skirt with a polo neck jumper and 200denier tights? Yeah I suppose it's the very particular details that tip you off like the exact denier reference or the 5ft9 size eight twenty year old self description. That's when I stopped reading, if some Amazonian 20year old needs their ego stroked I'm not interested but I do wonder what they hoped to get out of it?

Indulging in a fantasy, I suppose

That must be the most unimaginative, dull witted troll ever.

Realistic?

StarlightLady · 28/01/2021 05:25

Maybe a wishful thinking ex perhaps?

I assume you're being sarcastic? Grin

Obviously a hairy knuckled troll.
Real women would wear Jeans/jumper/something warm on a walking date.
You can still look hot and not freeze to death!

I wondered why that thread had disappeared from my watch list.

Whilst I thought she was slightly overthinking the whole outfit/walk, I enjoyed the links and this was in Style & Beauty, a generally lovely happy place. Shame.

Blondiney · 28/01/2021 10:58

Haha, I did wonder why a 6ft, size 8 20 year old would be looking for style tips on MN. Grin

Floisme · 28/01/2021 11:26

Well I'm not ashamed to say I fell for it Grin

I found it quite life affirming to think there were still people going on dates, and getting excited and dressing up up in pretty if impractical clothing.

And I must admit I found the disapproving posts quite amusing too, even though the laugh's on me now.

Bluntness100 · 28/01/2021 11:27

Gosh that was so mundane, why would someone make that up. How odd.

CrotchBurn · 28/01/2021 12:14

She had pillow talk lips though

I think it's sad MN threads like that. So what if it was a troll? We were having fun. ..

ZaraW · 28/01/2021 14:35

She must have been pretty bored. Her post over on Relationships was "interesting".

Bluntness100 · 28/01/2021 16:32

You’d have to be really bored. When ifs something as mundane as is this skirt ok, you’d not think it was a troll, because it’s such a dull thing to make up. Personally I prefer a troll who makes more effort.

On the other hand it may have been someone fantasising they were going to meet someone and dressing up, so not very mentally well.

SpeckledyHen · 28/01/2021 17:11

Her other thread about getting back with him etc is still live but she hasn’t posted recently...

FatkinsDiet · 28/01/2021 17:53

We get so many of these "I'm young, single, super slim (always tall for some reason) and soooooo gorgeous". Always a troll. If they're 25, 6 foot tall single, childless and gorgeous, they probably don't want to ask us for fashion advice 🤷‍♀️. No offense. I know there are some tres chic people on here, but the young and single size 8s probably look elsewhere for fashion advice.

StCharlotte · 28/01/2021 20:28

I was worried she'd catch her death by insisting on keeping her coat open. Aside from having the unlikely body of Barbie, she seemed vacuous enough to be genuine!

Daysofpearlyspencer · 28/01/2021 20:57

I suspected it was a certain type of man looking to ‘hang out with the girls’

I wouldn't have in my 20s!!

But why did she bother?! There wasn't even a cheque or a safe?

LadyOfTheCanyon · 29/01/2021 08:36

I think she was a "laydee " IYKWIM

Ah ha ! Now I get it .
ohcrepe · 29/01/2021 14:05

Sorry I still don't get it. Can someone please spell it out? Are we saying it's a gay man looking for amusement? A trans man looking to emulate a woman? I don't get the motivation at all.
