No. The only girls I've ever met online have been HOT and short. Did I mention they were hot?

now see, this was why i asked for pics in the first place... anyways, this just got me curious... would you be a gentleman and do whatever it was you were going to do, then say "i don't think it will work out" or would you just leave before she saw you :p

To be honest, If I were to meet anyone, I'd ask for a picture first.... no picture, no meeting. You shouldn've have to ask that question if stick by that rule. no pic, no meet, no pic, no meet...... repeat 10 times. :)

All the same with no lights.........lol...(do not do this man!)

I've met one girl online. She was cool hell even met her parents and family! That was a bit weird just meeting her then her family.

Now I don't really intend to meet anyone online unless they want to meet me online. I'd rather meet girls in real life and see who they are and how they react to real situations. Instead of typing out what they are saying. I find that many people are much slower.

I say go to a few bars with a bunch of mates, get pissed up and chat to some women. Doesn't matter what happens just chat and have fun.

I have experienced 'bitchy bad date mode', please elaborate, is this common for women to do?

I had a great experience with meeting a gal over the net. In fact, she is now my wife!!! We have been married for 3 years now and she is an awesome person. She's smart and beautiful as well. Comes from a very well off family...and the family loves me to boot!!!

We both decided early on that we were not going to send pics early on because we both wanted to get to know eachother from the inside out. So, when we finally met it was a pleasant surprise that she was beautiful. I guess that I'm one of the few that have had a great experience with meeting someone online!

Why not meet up? Ask what she'll be wearing. Then tell her what you'll be wearing, but wear a big jacket or sweater over it. Go early, make the place a coffee shop or bookstore or something. When she shows up, you'll see what she's wearing. If it's good to go, you're golden. If she's good from far, but far from good, you can just stand up and peace out. sever all comm, and start surfing the pr0n again.

I wouldn't walk away. If you're not attracted...no big deal. You can still be civil and remain friends.

Yeah, anyone who won't send pics is hiding something. This is guaranteed.

As for the question...if I met someone and they were different than they described or different from their pic, I wouldn't hesistate to walk away right there. WHo wants to be with a liar anyway. And if they didn't say ANYTHING about thier appearance or dodged every single question you know they fell off the ugly tree.
