Arcrist...

I feel for ya', buddy. I sensed there was going to be a weight issue. Truth be known, I had a similar situation happen to me many years ago only on a much grander scale...

I had met this girl on AOL and developed a "relationship" with her over the course of months. Internet chat and phone calls. She was in California, Me, in Florida. Pictures were exchanged and hers looked very nice, but never well posed or a bit blurry. Still, she looked good and described herself as shown.

Then came a business meeting she had in Atlanta and we decided to meet there for a lust-filled weekend together. After traveling hundreds of miles (at her expense!), we finally met. And she was very fat and very ugly. The pics were years old and I'm not even sure if they were her. And here I was, chained to her for not 1, not 2, but 3 days. And being that she paid my way, she is now expecting me to live up to my end of the deal, if ya' catch my drift. Re-telling this story in its entirety has left many wiping tears of laughter from their eyes. It was a nightmare.

Long story short, always assume the worst regarding the appearance of an internet generated date.

And NEVER fly to a far away city to first meet for a 3 day romantic rendezvous.

One more thing... I think most people here are just disappointed we all didn't wake up to a "she made me breakfast" thread about what we hoped would be your new-found honey.

Keep tryin'.
