“Wendy, You are my singled out for today. Thought I would share a few comments on your pics. The first one is sorta nice. The second one with you sitting is great! Really great! The third one is a total waste, as it shows nothing about you other than you don't do the self pic thing well. And the last pic is just - okay. I'm sending this because I like your look and reading your profile, but that self pic just ruins it for me. Eric”
Gee, thanks. So I was left with three thoughts:
1. How does he like my “look” if he doesn’t like 3 of the 4 photos?
2. The ones that were “sorta nice” and “just okay” are professional shots – which tells me I’m mediocre at best. Thanks Eric, probably why I’m still single.
3. The self pic is my only body shot. It was no use to him was all I needed to know. I’m not his type.
My response? Ordinarily, I’d be able to take this in stride (as I have dozens of times before), but at this point… fuck it, I’m out. I took down my profile altogether – I quit. I can’t take it anymore. It’s Just Lunch can fetch me the remaining four dates to get to 101.
Pay attention men – criticism to a woman is a totally different experience than when you are criticized. We always take what’s said straight to the heart – regardless of the source.
p.s. this is a photo of Eric from his profile.
