A slender woman set up dates on Tinder using her real profile picture, then showed up looking much different than her picture.
First they set up dates for a slim, attractive woman on Tinder. Using body adhesives and make up, they made her appear 100 pounds heavier, and then set up a hidden camera to record the men’s reactions.
The reactions ranged from surprised to rude to just plain mean. Of five Tinder matches, only one stayed for the entire date, and even he joked with her, asking, “Do you like to eat?”
The Huffington Post called the men’s reactions “appalling,” noting that “A man doesn’t have to be attracted to a woman to respect her.”

to demonstrate that men are misogenists
Should I try that?
“Fat, Ugly Needy Guy Wants Sugar(,) Mama”
That’s like when I was in college and told everybody I was a “petroleum transfer engineer”. I worked at a gas statiion!

I think this use of virulent could spread like ebola
she’ll be working for abc’s fake setup show “what would you do?” in the near future.
Don’t cost nuthin’.
Let’s do a story about a man who presents himself as a millionaire and then drives up in a junker to pick up his date.
That is definitely in my price range
I’m often pissed off when I’m lied too (see Obama).
“Virulent” in a sentence: Johnnie Nkepwzhattari from Monrovia was so virulent, he could point at an attractive woman, shout ‘Booya!’ and she was infected.
When she sits around the house...
Quite different according to *cough* the article.
All a guy would have to do is show up without his toupee and most women would be gone...
That or go for the gusto with “Petrochemical Distribution Systems Specialist.” :-)
So womens’ #1 fear when dating online is meeting a serial killer, and mens’ biggest fear is a fat woman.
Priorities.
Hey, with the Millenials, that is just to be assumed, the concern (if any) is just what is the disease.
After all, a while back, they even had a website: "What I Live With" to hook up with other grungers with similar diseases.
No wonder they vote liberal.............
I get the comparison. But would a woman be openly rude to a man who claimed to be a millionaire and turned out to be a janitor? Probably not. Would a man be rude to a woman who claimed to be thinner and turned out to be heavier? Mmmm. Maybe more so. Let’s be honest.
Yep, I just gotta find some way to work a latin word or two in there for a truly epic job title.

There is no social experiment there other than the old Allen Funt Candid Camera trick of putting someone in a surreal situation.
I do the opposite. I post myself as fat, lazy, broke, and unemployed and use a photo of Michael Moore. Then I show up in my chaufered Rolls wearing my suit made from $100 bills and solid gold shoes. The date doesn’t seem to mind that I lied on my profile...
