While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, it is ultimately important to find a partner that you are physically attracted to. It might not be everything but it does count for a lot. A man who admitted he found his date “ugly” has been applauded by some for his approach to the situation.
Taking to Reddit to ask for feedback on how he handled the delicate conversation, he explained that he had recently met a girl online and the two had hit it off. He wrote: “One day we just started talking. She is super funny, genuinely decent and caring type.
We both have a similar meme-based sense of humour and I became really interested in getting to know her. “Here's where I made my mistake, I asked her out on a date before seeing her. After we got the date scheduled, I tried to get to get her to share some pics of her, so I sent her my Instagram first.
When I first saw her I felt like lost every bit of interest I had. She was ugly. "I'm not a male model by any stretch, but I'm ok and fit.
Keep in mind, I don't see myself as a superficial person. I really want to be with someone I can connect with, but yeah i gotta admit it felt humbling to realise I'm not THAT much un-superficial.” The man explained that he talked to her and cancelled the date.
He wrote: “I told her she's an amazing person, but not my type. I asked her if we could continue as friends, and if she didn't want to I wished her all the best. “She replied, and her being her, she was super comprehensive and understanding.
She suggested we could still go as friends but accepted I might not want it, given my initial intentions when I proposed it.” People reading the Reddit post were in full support of the man for cancelling the date because he didn’t find the woman attractive. One user replied: “This is why you see people before dating them.
Attraction has a big role in whether or not the relationship could work.” A second said: “People always want to lie to themselves and to other people that they don't care about looks but everyone cares about looks on some level.” Do you have a story to share? Email eve.
