Ever met someone years later and been horribly disappointed? (Page 2)

Question

In high school, I was friends with a girl named Laura. She was absolutely beautiful: blond hair, blue eyes, great physique, athletic, friendly, a cheerleader but not pretentious or snobbish. I lusted for her but knew that I was not mature enough to date before I left high school at age 16. A few years ago, Laura contacted me on Facebook in connection with our 45th high school reunion; I had not attended a reunion since our 5th. I decided to attend because I was divorced, in a failing relationship, and I wanted to see if any of my female classmates might be single and available. When I met Laura, I was shocked. She had gained so much weight. . . it was like the photo above, except it was real and not just photoshopped. She had developed a medical problem which required her to frequently use systemic steroidal medications, and that had caused tremendous weight gain. She was still nice, sweet, very pleasant, etc. and she was single and seemed to be interested in me but I could not get past the horrible physical transformation. I know - please don't remind me - that I should not judge her solely by her physical appearance, but the idea of lusting for her was impossible to imagine. . . and I felt guilty about that. . . and disappointed. . . and sympathetic about her medical condition. Have you ever had such an experience?

I was not "horribly disappointed" but rather I could not reconcile the image of the person I had in mine and the person before me.

SuccessfulHornDog · Answer

Her belly button looks like a mouth and that could explain the weight gain

JamesRandiDebates · Answer

It's hardly fair to expect a female to look the same when she's geriatric as she did when she was a teenager.

Hannah591 · Answer

I don't understand how someone's changing appearance over many years would disappoint me tbh.

Ecologygirl76 · Answer

Recently saw a friend of mine and I'll be honest; I was a little taken aback by how much weight she's gained since I last saw her which was about a year ago I would guess.

Minahh · Answer

My brother's classmate was really smart, athletic and handsome in high school. I even had a crush on him. He has changed a lot since then. Became more chubby and less attractive but obviously he's still as smart and cool.

Can’t say that I have. I haven’t seen anyone from college or previous since I left.

AcidT0y · Answer

I'm only in contact with one person from when I was at school and she hasn't really changed in appearance much. I hang out with her a lot though so if she changed gradually I doubt I'd have noticed.

After 20 years post high school, it got harder and harder for some of the "hot chicks" to keep it together. Most blamed it on having kids.

No but I might be too young. Some women I went to school with turned (single) parents pretty young and that's the most surprising I guess, especially considering which type of girls that turned parents young.

A woman can go from small to supersize in less than a year. So no surprise. Of course some age like wine
