It seems that with the advancement of technology, online relationships are becoming increasingly common, most notably with the emergence of a series of online dating applications. Online dating has seemingly become a new trend among young people, but at the same time, it also brings along some not-so-positive consequences for many. In fact, with the current high-quality photo editing apps and software, it is no longer uncommon for girls, and even many boys, to maximize their appearance edits to deceive their “partners” online. And when feelings develop and they agree to meet in real life, shocking revelations about their looks have become all too familiar stories.
Recently, another victim of online dating has emerged in China. It is known that he is a handsome guy like many others and is still single. Through gaming, he randomly befriended and got to know a girl born in 2000. The moment he saw the picture she sent online, he understood what “love at first sight” meant and considered her his ultimate crush. Although the photo was partially obscured, no one could deny that she truly was beautiful with a high nose, a small face, a V-line jaw, and fair skin.
Of course, seeing a photo like that, the guy was completely “smitten.” However, as they chatted more and seemed to get along well, he began to notice many suspicious points when the hot girl repeatedly made excuses to decline video calls. Sometimes her camera was broken, other times she was out and couldn’t answer the call, or she couldn’t find her headphones. Even though he was continuously rejected, he remained optimistic, thinking she was just shy, and waited for the opportunity to meet face-to-face. After several delays, she finally agreed. And on that fateful day, the guy seemed to realize that the truth of his life had collapsed.
It wasn’t due to embarrassment or shyness; it turned out that she had good reasons to refuse video calls. The girl in the photos and the girl in real life seemed to be two different worlds and two different people. Specifically, her body was not slim and slender; rather, it was quite plump, to put it mildly. The high nose, fair skin, and V-line face had completely vanished, replaced by a round face lacking beauty and thick cheeks covering nearly half of her face. Her skin was dull and rough. To put it accurately, no one would believe that this was a hot girl born in 2000 at all.
Poor guy, thinking he had found the truth of life, little did he know that his first love had shattered in a way that couldn’t be worse. Feeling sorry for him, he shared the story on social media with bitterness, but still claimed that he was fine and just wanted to warn those who are dating online to be cautious, lower their expectations to avoid shock later when they find themselves in a situation like his.
