Slightly off tangent on avatar pics; when I was on my own a decade or so back, I did arrange a blind date with a lady who said she looked and was a replica of Demi Moore. Sadly she lied. size 22 and at 5' not what I had in my mind as an image.
I read a newspaper column where the young female journalist reported having arranged a date through an online agency. She'd been looking forward to meeting the slim, muscular, suntanned young man who'd contacted her.
So there she was, sitting in her car in the car park where the meeting was to take place. She looked around, and all she could see was one other car with a fat, bald, middle-aged bloke sitting in it.
She waited, and waited ... Her suitor was late; he must have been held up in traffic or had some kind of problem, so she took out her phone and rang him.
He answered at exactly the same moment that the bald, fat bloke opposite answered
his phone! She realised that the bald man was her date and told the man that she was staring straight at him - he wasn't 25, suntanned, or muscular and he didn't have any hair! Why had he sent her somebody else's photograph?
He replied that it
was him, only it was him 30 years ago. She asked if he thought she wouldn't notice the difference face-to-face? He replied that he had been hoping that she would like his personality and would be able to overlook it!
