That was the 'grand finale' for the story.
The second case was also funny. A profile photo portrayed a smiling, cute guy with brown eyes. About thirty. He said that he was 35 and worked in the city as an architect.
We chatted for two weeks and then I decided to meet him.
A young guy with long hair neatly combed back met me that day. He was wearing long polka dot bell-bottoms and a red sweater. He seemed to be much lighter than me. He was too skinny.
I was 68 kilograms at that time.
All evening he was shy, spoke haltingly and at the end he offered to rent an apartment, watch a movie and drink some beer.
That made me laugh.
We paid the bill and I left.
A joke on point:
Ladies, don’t go to dating sites, go to employment sites.
Same profiles, but pictures and CVs are real.
The third candidate has been fooling me for a week saying that he had just come back from the States and wanted to get married urgently. He said his parents want grandchildren, and he really liked me. That’s what he said. My heart 'sank'…
Wow, I thought…
However, it turned out to be a great deal simpler. Like in this joke.
Online dating:
– Hi! Where are you from?
– Hi! I from Russia. And you?
– I from France.
– Pizdish.
– Chestnoeslovo…
Exactly one month passed since I signed up for the site. More than 200 people wrote to me during this time. Many of them told me they were up to serious relationships and would marry. Some wanted to meet to make sure we fit together.
I met three other young guys, but it did go beyond cafe dating. From my experience, profile photos have little in common with their owners.
So, don’t trust the photos on dating sites. Men tend to 'rejuvenate' or 'embellish' themselves a bit. A handsome guy will turn out to be an oily old man with a sagging belly or a married guy with three children, who want to have fun on the side.
There were also those without a profile photo, but with the 'premium' icon on. Premium account is a paid service that allows you to send messages without a profile photo.
These dinosaurs are there for years. They’ll never send you their photo. They usually call you straight away and ask for meeting. But I've never met such men. I decided not to take this risk.
Overall, dating sites are full of surprises.
