“So hoas it?” asks uht? Your date definitely had a cute profile picture at least”

We’re sitting on my dorm room bed with our books scattered around us We should be studying, but of course, Flora and I are gossiping and trying to avoid our ho as possible

I shake my head

“It was really terrible”

My friend looks at me with a confused expression

“But why? Your guy had such an a profile! He said he was on the swi aThat has to be a difficult concentration, right? I et even a B in my chemistry class for the life of me”

I sigh, while shaking my head ruefully

“You know, I think ere taken in by the fact that he’s a swimmer and his really cute photo But that’s the probleuys are going to be different I mean, ould they name the site BeefyCuts? It makes the men on the site feel a lot of pressure to look like beefcake”

Flora grins happily, her ponytail bobbing

“Yeah, but that’s good for you That’s good for woet a selection of Triple-A prime rib”

I make a funny face at her

“Thanks, Flo Youfor steak, and not a man”

Flora blows out air from her mouth with mock exasperation

“Steak, irlfriend! Work it to your advantage So tellwith Jared? Did he fake his pictures?”

I shake my head slowly

“No, not exactly Well, at least not in the way you think”

Flora’s practically leaping off the bed with excitement now

“What is it then? Did he have really bad acne that he photoshopped out? Is he actually only five foot then he said he’s six two?”

I laugh again

“No, because that would be predictable Guys lie about their height all the time, and yeah, there are all those filters you can use to smooth out skin tone But his photos were … um, let’s say, off for an entirely different reason Way off”

Flora’s eyes bug out

“Oh ht? When you saw hi breasts?”

I laugh again
