This date was ten years back. I was an odd-looking 18 year old – overweight and not very pretty, so I did not meet many boys.
My friend Samantha tried to set me up with a friend of hers named Phil. Phil was an average-looking 20-year-old college student who seemed very nice. We talked on the phone for hours and chatted online for weeks. We finally decided to meet up on a Friday night, and agreed that he would pick me up at my dorm.
He came to the door and met me. He came in for a few minutes as I was finishing up getting ready.
He then told me that he had to go put gas in his car and he would be right back. I told him I was almost ready and we could go together. He insisted that he would be right back. I thought nothing of it at the time and finished getting ready.
Needless to say, he never came back. At the time I was really pissed. I called him and emailed him. Now as an adult I can look back and laugh. After one gastric bypass surgery and a boob job I got the last laugh.
We recently met up again at a friend’s party and now, ten years later, he said how sorry he was for leaving. He even asked me out again. I should have said yes and stood him up but I just declined and wished him the best of luck. Funny how life turns out!
I think your cosmetic surgeon had the last laugh.
ReplyDelete"I didn't fit his superficial idea of what a woman should look like so I went and got tons of surgery," um...yeah you really, uh, OWNED that guy.
ReplyDeleteThats to funny!
ReplyDelete5:35pm people have gastric bypass to improve their health. Atleast she didn't sit around being a fat greasy pig for the rest of her life like you!!!
Way to go girl! Its your body you payed for it!
Lesson learned- Don't judge who you date in college by their looks but by the looks they can buy in the future.
ReplyDeleteOuch! Sounds like the OP and the guy who stood her up are both in their 30s and still not getting laid.
ReplyDeleteSeven-thirty just because someone posts about an old date doesn't mean they aren't getting laid. Probally just means they aren't married.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you should have said yes and stood her up. Btw, it's your body, do whatever makes you feel good about yourself.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe one word of what happened after the stood-up part. This is a classic revenge fantasy, female version.
ReplyDeleteAnd people say you can't buy happiness.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else think that this post was put up for the sole purpose of baiting Gulliver?
ReplyDeleteBoob jobs are sad. I understand getting a gastric bypass, but cosmetic surgery is just an expensive way to say "I'm insecure".
ReplyDeletei want pictures of the boobs as proof or it never happened.
ReplyDeleteWhat's with the rash of people sending in "we never had a date, but I'm going to send it in anyway" stories?
ReplyDeleteWorthless bitch, you got the gastric bypass because you're lazy. And you got the boob job because your laziness made you ugly. You took the easy route and paid your way to prettiness, and now you fill yourself with a false sense of pride and security. But hey, at least now your boobs will be ogled at by other single 30-somethings. Funny how life turns out!
6:56 OK, both are still on the prowl.
ReplyDeleteRe: autobiography or fiction
"I was an odd-looking 18 year old – overweight and not very pretty, so I did not meet many boys" is a very dispassionate statement.
How many people would describe themselves in such terms. Just admitting to being overweight would be tough. A double-chin doesn't make you look odd or ugly. If her features were irregular the operations on her body wouldn't have helped much.
A boob job wouldn't help the face though considering she admitted to being ugly..
ReplyDeleteI can sympathise with the guy, not condoning it but if I were confronted with a man beast most people would be tempted to run.
7:55 - I agree. This entry is BEGGING for a "fat bitch!" soliloquy from Gulliver.
ReplyDeleteAs for the butterface debate, maybe she suffered from terrible acne as a side-effect of her poor eating habits? That plus obvious low self-esteem could make anyone look "ugly." If she got her acne under control, that could certainly help things.
Or, here's an idea: she was fat and therefore thought of herself as "ugly" but maybe actually wasn't. It all comes down self perception.
Sorry, but that's not a bad date, that's no date. That's what's supposed to happen when you're not interested. Better than several hours of awkwardness!
ReplyDeleteNikki, I think the majority of guys would stay for a tubby girl, but not for an ugly one, even if it was acne, that stuffs still unappealing.
ReplyDeleteI think we all know this story was clearly posted by Fizziks as her latest grease-filled "One day I can be pretty too" fantasy. What's really sad is how she failed to mention all the Chip-clips she needs to hold back the extra skin flaps. You know, 'cause she's fat. FAT BITCH!
ReplyDeleteSorry, if Gulliver wasn't going to step up, someone had to. :P
I like how the OP thinks she somehow won in this case. She had plastic sergery so she won? Man, some people are so shallow. I know gastric bypass is a "hrealth related" procedure, but most people just eat right and exercise to reduce weight, and your body is better for it. This bitch is still probably a lazy ass so she will gain it back.
ReplyDeleteGood for you, OP, for taking the high road and not accepting his offer/standing him up to turn the tables this time around.
ReplyDeleteLOL so what your saying is that everything men like about you is fake.? Good for you.
ReplyDeletethere may be parts about me that are fake but men love them

is that what you tell your self to sleep at night?
@6:43 You got into though, and you threw a little butter at us. Good on ya.
ReplyDelete6:43, your comments would have been much more valid had YOU figured out how to use spell check.
ReplyDelete"atleast" isn't a word, and I think you meant to say, "...something better thaN you are lazy..." Good try though.
You were chatting online 10 years ago? Uh-huh. Sure.
ReplyDeleteOuch! What an A-hole!
ReplyDeleteHey, Anonymous June 1, 2010 2:11 PM, there was a thing called dial-up available back then for people to access the internet AND chat online via chat rooms. High speed internet access came around in 200. Know your facts before you post.
2:11, I suggest you know your place and shut your mouth. I won't be too harsh since your age is probably in the single digits.
ReplyDeleteOP, that's kinda funny. We all have our awkward phases... The surgery's not even the point, but the fact that you're doing well enough to afford it is kind of a last laugh in itself.
This story made me sad.
ReplyDeleteI know this is an old story but if she's that obese a gastric bypass would most definitely be in order. The boob job may not have been an increase or decrease so much as getting rid of the excess skin that was left behind after losing a lot of weight.
ReplyDeleteBeyond that the post was kind of lame. "Ha ha I have the last laugh now."
