Save me from myself. (Vent)

So I met a guy on a blind date at the park. His response: "Well, I don't know if I'm interested. You're pictures make you look thinner."
Ugh? Sorry? I'll try harder next time to be prettier?
I'm here because if I go this alone, I will relapse into bulimia. Help me friends. Anything to distract me. And go::
Thanks and love,
Em

Superficial people annoy me. But at least he didn't string you along - he was honest with you. You have to give him credit for that.
Oh well... he wasn't for you. Next!!0 -
Oh man I would have had some not nice things to say.0
-
Screw him. Obviously he's a shallow git. You're taking care of yourself and doing it healthily, right? What better revenge than you being healthy and happy?0
-
He sounds like a superficial a**hole!! Sorry. He isn't worth your time or energy. Chin up and don't let this send you down a path you know isn't healthy. Hugs!!!!

Ignore him. Not all guys are like that. Promise0

Honey, you look fantastic. Are you seriously even thinking of destroying everything you've worked so hard to achieve because some a**hole opened his pie hole and stuck his foot in it? NO YOU ARE NOT. You are MUCH better than that, and obviously much better than him.
Shake it off and move on. He's just one stepping stone closer to the man you are really looking for...a REAL man. So get to steppin' , pretty momma...he's not worth one more thought!0 -
Don't waste your energy on him. Focus on the things you are doing to better yourself.
My theory is "Don't let the stupid people control your emotions" - I would certainly consider him stupid people!

I'm shocked someone has the gall to say that to anyone. Even if someone isn't your type for whatever reason, who says that kind of stuff? What's a miserable person. You shouldn't rely on his opinion on you to make yourself happy. You don't know him and obviously he doesn't know you. Delete #, Delete Email, Delete from Life = Move on.
Don't let this douche destroy everything you've worked so hard for.
p.s I think you're beautiful0 -
you WILL find someone better and more worth it.
Ill admit I went through a string of ****ty men, some dates like that, others where they were nice at first but as the relationship went on they got MEAN about my weight (especially if I was celebrating a loss) and Im a binge eater.
How do I know you WILL find someone better? Because Ive done it. What made this so different? I became happy with myself first. I accept my body for what it is, dress to fit my figure and size, and work daily at making it where I want it to be. I have a great supportive MFP family who now congratulate me and know more about my relaitonship then Facebook (actually most people on my facebook would be shocked to know Im dating)
I actually just teased the other day that I need to check his sanity, we are going to the water park at the end of July (he body builds and wants to work on his abs) and he told me I should get a two piece that shows my tummy, not the tankini I have now. I flat out said your crazy no one wants to see my white tummy thats poochy and has fadded stretch marks. His response "Hunny I think youre hot naked and in underwear so I know I will think your damn hot in a bikini too" and truly that is what matters because Im dating him, not the others at the water park.
Still dont think Ill be buying that two piece.... If I do Ill have a sheer coverup over it to atleast make myself feel better!0 -
Wow what a jerk!! Trust me you'll find someone better!! You've got us here to help you, you look great in your profile pic!!0
-
yeah, I would have had some really really not nice things to say to him and then I probably would have decked him and walked away. He was rude and wrong. You are doing great and look great0

@h*le. I don't really need to tell you how much better off you are without someone who is going to judge you like that, do I? This is clearly his problem. He is going to have one helluva time finding someone to put up with him. Good riddance to bad rubbish! Say a prayer for him. He needs it. You, on the other hand, are worth so much more! Time for a pedicure. Or a nice long walk. Or some nice yoga. Peace. You are more than the sum of your parts. Much much more. As we get older, we get more comfortable in our skin...as it sags and bags and stretches. It doesn't matter how much there is of it. Youth and beauty are shallow, temporary things. Ask yourself this...is everyone over 40 worthless? Is everyone under 40 only worth their looks? Hardly. His attitude is a statement of our times. It is a sickness that pervades and defines our society. There is more. Much more. We only have to look for it, find it and embrace it to know it.

P.S. You are gorgeous dahlink!0 -
Did I mention one of my guy friends asked about my weight loss, after complementing me he asked my goal weight, I told him. His response "You know youll still TECHNICALLY be Overweight at 160 right?" No *kitten* but he fooled around with me I weight 250 so who is he to judge?0
-
He's obviously not worth it and superficial. If he had said that to me, I would have beat the living crap out of him. Right there in the park. He doesn't deserve you... You will find someone better.
oh and ps... You're gorgeous!0 -
Babygirl. I had a guy I dated for 6 months tell all our friends we were "just friends" and nothing ever happened because my body type was not "dateable"...pardon? Not my personality - which would've been understandable because I'm a ***** (even moreso now that I know he cheated) but my BODY.
I'm 5'3", 163lbs, 36DD, size 11 jeans...I kickbox and can run a 5K in under 30 minutes...
Y Chromosome = FAIL0 -
My guess is he was probably not that good looking. He attitude was making up for a small __________. Don't let guys like that ruin things for you. I have found that most women in this world have a special beauty about them. I only exclude those that act like your "date."
Know what is special about you!0 -
Ughhhhh so many *kitten*-hats out there! I am sorry he said these things to you. I had a guy tell me, "You have a pretty face, you'd be an 8 if you lost your fat."
Nice. I never saw him again.
He did see me years later when I was at a low for my weight. I just smiled and walked off (with my now husband).
Jerk. Don't pay attention to him. He has his own issues and thank god you're not like that or involved with a guy like that.

Think of it this way, you're weeding out the jerks. Now you're just one guy closer to meeting your prince who will love you no matter what your weight is.0

can i hear an aaaaaaaamen?!?!?!
what an assbag! you're amazing girl! xoxox0 -
The guy needs a good kick in the family jewels0

There's a better one out there for you. I agree with another poster- at least he put it out there and you can move on with confidence. He's certainly entitled to pass up a gorgeous girl like yourself for someone that fits what he considers to be... whatever it is.
You're hot, and you'll find the right guy that will tell you so every day! Don't let it discourage you.0 -
After situations like these, I always think about what I coulda/shoulda said. Had I had the nerve, I would have said, "Well, good thing because I don't think I'M that interested...you look like you have a very small penis."0
-
Thank you guys. The nausea hasn't subsided yet. But you made me smile through the frustrated tears.
Single mom. New in town. Trying to put myself out there. Shot down. Epic Fail.0 -
And for the record, I'm a size 14/ L/XL Top and I'm 5'10. He was a douchy pretty boy who insisted on meeting even though I didn't feel good. He claimed he was 5'11, yet I towered over him like some insane Amazon linebacker.
*sigh* I swear I'm just gonna start collecting cats. They could care less if I'm soft around the middle. lol0 -

Not a fail AT ALL. He saved you from dating a complete jerk. Some guys are closet buttholes and they waste YEARS of your life before they show their true colors.
You are powerful, you are in control, YOU make your own decisions.
I was a single mom for a long time. I met a man who loved my curves then and loves my less curvy body now. I met him randomly after purposefully dating a bunch of jerks. You did not fail. REPEAT-- YOU DID NOT FAIL.
And think about it, he probably wasn't even that cute, completely uninteresting and he's probably awful in bed. End of story.0 -
ha, sure the guy may have been shallow, but whats worse is his complete lack of tact.
fair enough he may not have found you attractive (not saying you are or arent, just saynig different people like diferent things), but what makes this guy a complete *kitten* is the fact that he just came out and said it like that.
i personally have been out with someone that i didnt fancy for whatever reason, but i sure didnt make her feel bad about it.
everyone is judgemental, you cant deny that, but its how you handle it that makes you a decent person or not
edit: dont let this tool stop you from putting yourself out there. i was once extremely shy and never put myself in a position where i may be rejected. never had the balls to ask a girl out until my late teens / early 20s. but one day i had an epiphany. i thought to myself "you know what, who gives a toss, im going to go for what i want and if i get shot down so be it, its their loss, ill just move on to the next one"0 -

HA! That's what I did! I gave myself a year to find the perfect man :laugh: That was January of 2007.
I met my husband on December 12, 2007. Gawd. Took him long enough! :laugh:0 -
he's a jerk. you met him once. why do you care what he thinks? honestly he's a stranger and you do not survive to please him. your ultimate goal right now is to make YOURSELF happy, and one ofthe ways you've chosen that is 1) by searching for guidance through this post and 2) through exercising and dieting. focus on you, you are the only wonderful, beautiful person you should think about right now.
if anything, use his insult as a way to motivate you even more. kick your exercises up a notch! you'll get a way hotter guy anyway...

How about some nice immature comeback lines?
Well, you may be skinnier than I am, but you're a much bigger *kitten*.
Wow, I'm a lucky girl. Lucky I found out what a *kitten* you are on the first date!
I'm sorry, what was that? I was distracted by your bald spot. It probably wouldn't be such a big problem if you were taller.
How lovely it must be for you to have such an overinflated ego. Too bad it's so easily deflated by your little prick.
Hey, it's not MY fault you watch so much porn that you can't get it up for anyone actually willing to date you.
I'm GLAD I'm too big for you. Otherwise I might not have found out what an undateable creep you are until after we'd ****ed.
I am so sorry. Sorry for your ex girlfriends.
Well that's too bad, I guess you'll have to go back to dating prostitutes. Not that it really counts as 'dating'.
(study his face) It's awful funny how looks can be deceiving, isn't it? You don't LOOK like an *kitten*...
Wow, you are just the total package, aren't you? A giant **** AND a small penis.
I'm sorry, I didn't know you were autistic when I agreed to this date. Oh, you're not? I guess the only explanation is bad parenting then.
I bet you have a LOT of first dates. Not so much second or third dates, huh? That must be rough, being a huge creep.
Jeez, insecure much? Or are you just tactless and rude? Enjoy dating around, jerk! Lord knows you'll never find love...
I think getting picked on as a teenager might have warped my brain... I could seriously keep going...0
