Accused of Catfishing! (I don't fish)

LOL @ollinger the whole story is made up. It seems you haven't had experience with the OP.
I am giving OP benefit of the doubt and presuming that his son has successfully used lessons learned in managing a budget in the hard knock life of a car camper to transition to an overpaid wealth manager position with beach front property.

My son finished his tour with the Army and now works as a diesel mechanic out west on the oil rigs.

It doesn't impart the best scent, but he's rollin' in the moulah.

You pretty much called her fat, "15 pounds ago". So I'd say no chance. You probably have a better odds with the matchmaker.

But the thing is, if I didn't rebut her allegations about my so called dishonesty, she wouldn't respect me. So something had to be said.

TTMR was being very diplomatic and reflecting his gentlemanly upbringing. It was actually 75 pounds ago, but that's besides the point. Our hero TTMR does not judge others based upon the superficial variances of the scale, and "15 pound ago" is only in reference to the passage of time. TTMR is not implying that his libido is relative to the mass of the object of his sexual desire.

Yes there is, if you imply you attained their friendship on the basis of your social skills or general personability rather than your willingness to pay them.

What a potential mate associates with an athletic group photo is on them. The picture does not say "Here is TTMR and his soccer-playing friends". It's a group of people standing in close proximity and smiling. Anything else is an assumption.

The matchmaker said "You need a group photo" and I delivered.

You should explain that to her, in case it's not too late.
Or show her this thread.

If there are not implied assumptions to be made you are not being fair about the cognitive load you are inducing on the consumer of your advertising material. Approaching the interaction in bad faith is inherently dishonest.

I approached with the goal of copulating with her in good faith.

You literally just said you didn't.

I didn't "literally" "say" anything. I typed something. But I didn't type anything about acting "not in good faith". I typed the opposite. Prior to that, I typed about the group photo that I and the matchmaker had arranged.

Any more parses for your pear, pedant?

You need to fire the match maker and use those profile pics for a new dating app.

They looked athletic. I carefully selected them based on their build and features. I also ensured they were diverse.

A group shot was pivotal for proving to romantic prospects that I'm sociable and athletic. You have a problem, take it up with the matchmaker.
Mabe in your extreme hast, you picked the wrong sport for the infamous group photo❗️

If it was basketball, you could tell her that besides your short height, you bring fear with your unusual shot making ability.
If it was American football, you could say that besides your whimpy body, you can run down the sideline and make the long catch.
If it was baseball, you could say that besides being half blind, you carry the team with your neverending hope and enthusiasm.

"In my culture, matchmakers tend to be men."

TTMR - not in KY, they ain't.

And wimmin in the Commonwealth LOVE to be Catfished, especially fried on a friday night with some hush puppies and ice tea.... (note that it is "ice tea", not "iced tea")

Brought to you straight from Pike Co. KY and Mingo Co., WV. Literal Hatfield and McCoy country.

I feel like TTMR would thrive in Paducah.

Yes, you still have chances, not lying or fat shaming is super overrated, you just have to explain that to her.

In the end, despite repeated protestations, she has refused to meet me again, even for a post-mortem. As such, I've had no choice but to instruct all businesses I own in the area (there are several) to decline to do business with her. Unfortunate turn off events, but life carries on.

So no new GOAT for TTMR. You might have to think about a second home in an area with more single women.
 
In my experience cat pictures tend to backfire as the intended recipients assume it is either fake or the dude is trying too hard.

Use a tiger pic.

That's still a cat, to be pedantic.:p

Surprised there's so far only one date to base opinions for your (contentious) profile pics in over a month. Is she the only match in your town?

For a moment, I understood that literally.
