He Thought He Matched With An 18-Year-Old Woman On A Dating App, But When He Showed Up For Their Date, He Realized It Was The Woman’s Mother Who Actually Just Used Her Daughter’s Pictures On Her Profile
This man is a 29-year-old lawyer, and he’s been testing his luck in the dating pool. Just two days ago, he thought everything was going well, too, after he matched with an 18-year-old woman.
They began messaging, and he seemed to really enjoy chatting with the woman.
“We had good chemistry during our conversations,” he recalled.
So, he asked her out on a date and was hoping for the best. But, upon actually arriving to meet the woman, he realized that she was a completely different person.
In fact, the woman was actually a 36-year-old mother who had been using her daughter’s photos on the dating profile!
He was incredibly offended after finding that out, too, and immediately left the date.
First of all, he feels like the real woman is just too old for him.
“And I don’t understand what’s the goal of tricking people by using group pictures, filters, or what this woman did,” he explained.
After all, once people actually show up for a date and realize they’ve been talking to a catfish, they will obviously feel disappointed.

That’s why he thinks it’s crucial for people to portray themselves as they really are online, especially when it comes to dating apps.
“And I feel like I should have demanded her a refund for the parking lot fee, at the very least,” he added.
Anyway, following the date, he decided to share what happened with some of his coworkers the next day. Apparently, they had known about his date and asked him to update them afterward.
So, he kept his promise, but while he was divulging all the details to his coworkers, he was shocked to realize that some of his female colleagues began calling him “rude” and “jerk.”
“The reason being that, upon realizing my date was not 18 years old, I promptly ended the date and walked away,” he detailed.
One of his female coworkers, who is 32 years old, also accused him of being creepy for intending to go out with an 18-year-old.
“But I rejected that woman in the past, so she’s probably just a sore loser,” he vented.
Regardless, with a bunch of his colleagues now calling him names at work, he’s unsure if turning down the older woman was really a jerky thing to do.
Isn’t the “older woman” still closer in age to him than an 18-year-old? Still, is it understandable why he was caught off guard by the catfishing? Or do you think that his coworkers were right about it being creepy?
