This woman who bravely went on a date with someone she met on Tinder actually wound up having a fairly alright time… Or so she thought.

While the date seemed to be a success, with the pair sharing an arm-in-arm stroll and even a kiss, it was the man’s next day response that caused Michelle Thomas to write him an open letter.

As much as we all give out about not getting the next-day-call, sometimes silence is golden.

This guy, simply known as Simon, felt the need to explain exactly why he wouldn’t be taking 30-year-old Michelle out a second time.

“You’re cheeky and funny and just the sort of girl I would love to go out with,” sounds like she’s ticking all the boxes so far, no? He continued, “if only my body and mind would let me. But I fear it won’t." 

“I’m not going to bulls**t you… I f***ing adore you Michelle and I think you’re the prettiest looking girl I’ve ever met. But my mind gets turned on by someone slimmer.”

Is this guy actually serious?

Michelle’s open letter that she wrote in response illustrates all the great attributes that this *insert word of choice here* man mentioned, before he decided to comment on her weight.

Ms Thomas explains how Simon has a 13-year-old daughter and it is because of her that she wrote her letter.

“You stirred a dormant fear that every woman who was ever a teenage girl has. That it doesn’t matter how funny you are, how clever, how kind, how passionate, how loyal, how determined or adventurous or vibrant – if you’re a stone overweight, no one will ever find you desirable.”

She encourages the man to praise his daughter’s “intellect and her creativity.”

And oh, she also tell him that he can kiss her “exquisite, unmarriageable arse.”
