Humans are complex beings, and there are facets about a person that no test, human or machine-made, can ever take into account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We’ll only ever realize this upon meeting a match in real life. If we’re lucky, we can land ourselves an excellent first (and succeeding) date(s) with our chosen sites and apps. But some people aren’t as fortunate, as we’ll see in the online dating stories below when online dating goes wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nParty Pooper<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nA bowel movement is a factor that no personality test will probably include in its questionnaire. If only it did, then maybe Reddit user josh_t_bone<\/a> wouldn’t have had such a foul encounter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n“I literally had a guy lean in to kiss me and shit his pants. He was like, “it feels really warm in my underwear for some reason. Then I could smell what seemed to be a baby diaper. He ran into the bathroom and said he’d be freeballing the rest of the night.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nIf Google Were A Man<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nMansplaining is a modern term that is a literal blend of ‘man’ and ‘splaining.’ It describes the condescending and confident tone men take up when oversimplifying things for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given its definition, mansplaining is one way to insult a person’s intelligence, and most of us can agree that having our intelligence insulted is a major turnoff. It is undoubtedly the case for Reddit user eCaisteal<\/a>, whose experience in online dating goes wrong because of an inconsiderate and insulting date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n“Went to grab dinner. He comments on me ordering pizza in an Italian restaurant. (I don’t often eat meat, [the] only veggie thing was pizza.) He comments on me eating pizza with [a] knife and fork. He comments on me not wearing enough make-up (only mascara, even though I wore zero make-up in profile pics). I politely ask about his work. He explains what he does as if he’s talking to a 4-year-old, even though he knows I’m doing two master’s degrees and did Biology at my finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Throughout the date, [he] kept explaining stuff to me as if I’m in kindergarten. [He] doesn’t ask anything about me but long monologues about himself. I decline getting another drink and leave. Dodge his kiss and give him a peck on the cheek instead. On my way home, I get a text asking if I’m sure I don’t want a kiss.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nBonnie and Clyde<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThere are online dating applications that require users to note their list of offenses if there are any. However, it’s understandable that these sites can’t include crimes that are currently happening. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
See how Reddit user Bewarethewulf’s <\/a>online dating experience goes wrong because of this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n“After the date, he was driving me home when he did an illegal traffic move and got pulled over. He decided to run from the police (with me in the car). He tried to pull into a driveway and hide, but they found us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They put us both in handcuffs while they searched the car. They ended up giving me a ride home and took him to jail. Apparently, it was a stolen car. I never saw him again, as he was extradited to another state for outstanding warrants.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nFalse Marketing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nCatfishing is a notorious concept in online dating stories, with thousands of hopeful daters sharing their sordid experiences about people hiding behind fake personas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We need to make it clear, though, that catfishers don’t always use photos of other people as they weave a new story for themselves to lure others into dates and relationships. They don’t always have ill-intent, either. Sometimes, catfishers simply share unrealistic images of themselves as a result of insecurities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Such is the case for Reddit user DwarfStacker’s <\/a>date, who believed that her size would hinder her from landing matches:<\/p>\n\n\n\n“To start, I want to say… I am very active and try to eat healthy-ish, and being very active (hike, bike, climb, or some other active outside thing almost every day of the week) is very important to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I met this girl on the Tinders or some site, and she looked super cute – a little curvy in all the right ways, incredible skin, and these crazy green eyes. We chatted for a while and agreed to meet at a local bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The girl who met me was not that girl. She was about 275 lbs, 5’5″-5’6″ ish, horrible skin that look like she wiped her face off with the greasy bottom of a WacArnolds bag, and these sullen dark brown eyes. Clearly, the pictures were of her to some degree because I could see her in the pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After we said our hellos and got a drink, there was a long awkward silence\u2014nothing to talk about. We had talked about how she also enjoyed being active outside and everything, but I did not get that impression from our initial conversation. I decided to jump right in and asked if she sometimes wore colored contacts, to which she replied no, she just liked the way it made her look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some more less-than-subtle probing from me (I was annoyed that I clearly had been deceived onto a date), and she admitted she was a graphic designer and quite talented with Photoshop. She basically Photoshopped herself into a 5’9″, 165 lbs, green-eyed, fair-skinned bombshell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She admitted she had Photoshopped herself to get dates. I was dumbfounded. No, I probably would not have gone out with her if she had been real, but I know there are guys that would have, who maybe didn’t care about the lifestyle things I care about. But the fact that she had intentionally deceived me made me despise her. She then had the audacity to claim that I was an assh*le because I never “gave her a real shot.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nFatal Affair<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nWhen online dating goes wrong, often people come out with a hilarious or cautionary tale.
