You mention something very specific in your profile. Something you are certain doesn't work for you and never will. You hate body piercings. Tattoos. He's a metrosexual (a serious problem for some).

Then you meet a guy. He seems nice. You get along well and enjoy where things are headed. You find yourself fantasizing that your days of online dating are about to end.

Then you discover the horror.

Both his nipples are pierced and precariously tethered together by a chain (this didn't happen to me, but for story's sake, let's use it as an example).

What did you do, assuming this was truly a deal breaker for you?

I once mentioned in a profile my distaste for back hair. So naturally, tank top boy is what I got (guess he figured 2 out of 3 wasn't so bad).

When I say tank top, I mean tank top. It started at the chest, went over the shoulders (the straps, if you will) covering his back from top to bottom.

I realize most of us can't help what we were born with, yet, this just wasn't doing anything for me from a physical attraction standpoint. We went out a few times before things fizzled (amicably).

So I'm sitting here eating a really juicy orange, and then I read this -

Does anyone know how to get orange juice off an laptop screen? That was too funny.


Anyway, yes, it's happened to me, albeit not an OLD or physical thing. Back in my young, naive days, I never thought of divorce much. I was in college, it wasn't really on my radar, although I had a vague idea that I didn't want to date someone who was divorced. Started dating a guy, and fell HARD. Couple months into it, he announced he was divorced. He was only 26, so you can imagine my shock.


Anyway, we did continue to date for another few months - he still had issues from it, and it ended. I guess it made me a little more accepting of things that would normally turn me off right away.
