Do you ever think there’s an appropriate time to throw a drink on someone? What if they insulted your body straight to your face?
This 23-year-old woman went out with a 24-year-old guy she met on a dating app last night, and they only started talking yesterday.
They thought it would be better to meet up in person instead of wasting time texting back and forth in an effort to get to know each other.
The guy showed up late to their date, but he bought her a drink as soon as they took their seats. An hour into the date, she thought things were going great.
“We shared interests, and the conversation was flowing well. We were talking about first impressions when my date asked me if he thought we had clicked so far,” she explained.
“I replied that I thought so before asking him the same question. He replied, ‘I do think we click well and I really like your personality…’ He hesitated for a moment before continuing, ‘…but you’re too fat for me.'”
“I was completely caught off guard, as while I am mid-size bordering on the edge of plus-sized woman, I had several images of my entire body on my Tinder profile and had assumed he had looked at them before meeting with me in person.”
It also threw her for a loop that this guy hadn’t made any remarks about female bodies or physical traits until he let loose that dose of honesty.
She demanded to know what he meant as she was so shocked, and she expected him to apologize or back down. But no, he said their levels of attractiveness are very different, and it basically came down to how big she is.

She couldn’t find the words to say, so she asked him once more to clarify, and the guy told her that she does not fit his aesthetic. But then he placed his hand on her arm and mentioned he could get over that, considering her personality.
She really had nothing more to say to him, so she waved down their bartender and paid for cash for just her drink. As she waited to pay her bill, this guy said she should feel that he complimented her for pointing out that her personality could outweigh her looks.
She rarely gets mad, but she was infuriated. The guy had ordered a water along with his drink, and she intentionally knocked it into his lap.
The guy promptly freaked out on her and screamed about how she had wrecked his outfit and his evening. She had a few choice words for him before she walked out of there.
“I haven’t really dated anyone before, and while I’ve gone on a couple of dates, I’ve never had this bad of an experience on one,” she said.
“While I don’t think I was really being [a jerk] for dumping the water on my date, a couple of my friends have said that I went overboard or lowered myself to his level, so I’m asking, am I the [jerk]?”
Well, it was just water, so this guy really did flip out over nothing. It’s disgusting that he tried to tell her he would make an exception and lower his standards for her.
