Name: FFG (Former Fat Guy)
Introduction Platform: Bumble, we sent texts for about 4 days and then decided to meet on Wednesday.
Age: 47
Relationship Status: Divorced 5 years, no kids
Job: Construction Contractor, mainly
Lives: Closeby, in a cool neighborhood by a lake
Length of Date: 2 hours
We Did: Met at a dive bar of his suggestion. This bar is well known for its patio, and I suggested we bring our dogs, but he didn’t want to sit outside because he thought it was too hot. Sure, it’s been warm out, but whatever. I left Martini at home :(
He Looked: So, he’d told me that over the last 5 years he’s lost 100 pounds and I thought his photos looked really good! In his pictures he looked tall and a bit burly and built really solidly. But when the Lyft dropped me off, he was on the sidewalk walking towards me. He was shorter than his photos indicated and instead of being buff, he looked like a guy who’d recently lost a lot of weight - as in, floppy and saggy. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am so impressed that he did this without surgery, just by eating right and exercise. But I couldn’t really see the exercise part. And he didn’t seem too interested in impressing me with what he was wearing. I suppose the attire was right for a dive bar: jeans and a tee.
I Looked: I wore what I’d had on at work: a cute, sleeveless black with white geometric print dress that showed off my newly toned arms and legs. Black mule slides that have cute ties on top. Honestly, something so not fitting for a dive bar, but oh well.
Convo: Honestly, he was nice enough in the beginning, but NOT what I was expecting. He was NERVOUS and kept fidgeting and twisting a straw or playing with the hairs on his arms. His texts seemed very take-charge, and he was not at all like that in real life. He told me a bit of his Bumble experience - going out with women who were not who they appeared to be in their photos and profiles. He told me of going to swingers parties (wha?). He said that his experience has been very interesting. He told me about his ex and that’s detailed below…
High Point: There was no high point to last night.
Low Point: see: How It Ended
How It Ended: He wanted to tell me the story of his divorce because it was “such a wild story”, but it wasn’t. His ex wife left him a note and never spoke to him again but they had a very contentious divorce where she basically tried to send him to jail for stuff like illegal arms sales. And that led us down a road to me asking him about guns and him telling me that he buys and sells and keeps an arsenal of about 50 or so guns. And then I asked him if he was a member of the NRA and he said, “of course” and I told him that it just wouldn’t work for me. Dealbreaker. Date over.
Chances Are: NO
Date Rating: Sadly, F. And I’m starting to get tired.
