Woman Receives A Text From Her Tinder Date Saying She's Fat

In 2015, a U.K.-based woman named Michelle met a single dad on Tinder. After a nice conversation online, they set up a time to meet for their very first date.

After a couple of drinks at a local pub, Michelle and her date moved to a restaurant, where he bought her a nice dinner. Afterward, they took a stroll outside, arm-in-arm, and then he walked her to the train station to say goodnight. They even shared a sweet kiss.

Michelle went home, excited about her date. She could tell it was successful and that the two had pretty good chemistry.

But the next day, Michelle was stunned when her date from the previous night sent her a text message. She wasn’t stunned by the fact he texted her, I should say, but by what he said.

“Thanks for a wonderful evening last night,” his text began. “I really enjoyed your company and actually adore you. You’re cheeky and funny and just the sort of girl I would love to go out with if only my body and mind would let me. But I fear it won’t.”

The rest of the text is so disgraceful that Michelle decided to share it with the world in the form of an open letter — along with her amazing rebuttal. Her blog post went viral, and people everywhere applauded Michelle for her inspiring words to women everywhere…

“Tinder Date,” Michelle entitled her blog entry.

“On Monday I went on a first date with a man I met on Tinder. We met in a pub. After a couple of drinks, we moved on to a restaurant. He bought me dinner. We strolled arm in arm on the South Bank. He walked me to the train station, where we kissed. It wasn’t earth-shattering, but all in all, it was a fairly standard pleasant evening.

“The next day, I received the following message from him (be warned, it gets pretty nasty.)”

Hey Michelle, sorry been super busy at work today, hun.

Thanks for a wonderful evening last night. I really enjoyed your company and actually adore you. You’re cheeky and funny and just the sort of girl I would love to go out with if only my body and mind would let me. But I fear it won’t.

I’m not going to bull***t you… I f***ing adore you Michelle and I think you’re the prettiest looking girl I’ve ever met. But my mind gets turned on by someone slimmer.

Shallow? It’s not meant to be. It’s the same reaction you get when you read a great author or see an amazing image, or listen to a piece of music you love. It has that instant reaction in you that makes you crave more.

So whilst I am hugely turned on by your mind, your face, your personality (and God… I really, really am,) I can’t say the same about your figure. So I can sit there and flirt and have the most incredibly fun evening, but I have this awful feeling that when we got undressed my body would let me down. I don’t want that to happen baby.

There are certain triggers that fire my imagination into life and your wit and intelligence are the beginning of that process which would inevitably end up in the bedroom. With just one result….

I’m so disappointed in myself, Michelle, because I’ve genuinely not felt this way about anyone in ages, but I’m trying to be honest with you without sounding like a total knobhead.

We could be amazing friends, we could flirt and joke and adore each other and… f*** me… I would marry you like a shot if you were a slip of a girl because — what you have in that mind of yours is utterly unique — and I really, really love it.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m trying to avoid bigger pain in the future by telling you now so we don’t have to go through that embarrassment. I’m a man… with all the red hot lusts of a man and all the failings of a man and I’m sure of my own body and its needs.

Please try and forgive me. I adore you xx
