Woman wears fat suit to Tinder dates - PUA experiment
Woman in a fat suit video linked above.

[quote]The idea behind Simple Pickup's social experiment was to capture the responses of both males and females who meet someone on Tinder who weighs "a little more than [his or her] photo suggests."
First, they found male Tinder matches for a female friend, using photos that showed her appearing physically thin. Then, before the date, they used body adhesives and makeup to make her appear physically larger than in her photos. A hidden camera was set up at the date site to record the reactions of each of the five men she met during the day.
The results were nothing short of awful. Responses ranged from quizzical to angry. One guy claimed he was married. Another went to use the bathroom, but never returned.[/quote]

I haven't watched the videos myself yet 'cause I'm on mobile. But how would you react if your online date turned out to be a little different than their pictures suggested?
Discuss, etcetera

This is what I like to call false advertisement.

I realize using a dating site would have taken longer/been more expensive but tinder is all about being shallow. You can't really be surprised when someone is off put by that much of a weight difference when the only reason you two ever spoke was because you thought the other person was attractive. I doubt anyone on tinder thinks "Wow I bet that girl has a great personality." Edit: I just watched the man in a fat suit version (with the same mindset). But I wouldn't say that it's conclusive of anything. I feel like the only reason anyone stayed was because he was a much better date, like he completely ignored being fat and actually interacted with her, whereas the girl just sat there quiety letting him stare at her fat.

A little put off it depends on how big the change was. They add up to 60lbs nbd but if they add like 200lbs on a person is probably say "look I'm sorry, but you were not honest with your profile so I'm going to leave."

I would probably be surprised but still me polite and try to have a nice time.

I think that experiment is stupid honestly. Tinder is a app designed to hook up, physical appearance is gonna matter greatly. So the whole premise of this video is just so stupid. What did they expect?
-
A little different wouldnt bother me so much, completely different would. Its not the weight, itd be the lie that would cause me to leave. At least I would have the courtesy to tell them im leaving because of that though instead of just slipping out the door.

Very interesting rooster. I think it's because the guys she found just wanted to -blam!- whereas the girls in the fat dudes video were looking for something a little more serious
-
At least its not a fursuit....
