So, I have a friend of a friend of a friend....she was meeting a man this evening for the first time for a dinner date. They have exchanged a few emails, some text messages, light-hearted conversation. Seems they were both looking forward to meeting one another this evening.
When he confirmed the time and meeting place this evening, he mentioned he was a bit nervous. To put him at ease, she made a joke that he shouldn't be at all concerned...that he would recognize her from her buck teeth, unfortunate nose on the tip of her nose, and bald head (from ripping out her hair from such a stressful work day), and won the title of "Miss Sasquatch" for 2 years running now.
His response was that he bets I she has a "hot Sasquatch".
She responded that her anticipation of the evening just dropped, he said he was "just trying to be funny", and that she in fact encouraged by her banter.

She has canceled the date.
Did she over-react?
Well the joke by him was a bit over the line but I think she over reacted. I think my response would have been; have you been peeking?
Kaybee50: Maybe the stress of the day mademe her over-react.
You know that could be it too. Sometimes the simplest things can be taken in the wrong way. I know when I have had a bad day; I can fly off the handle over something I would usually laugh off. So, it may be unfair of me to say she over reacted without knowing her state of mind at the time this was said. Damn woman, you put me in a spot now. May have to hide back in my corner again for putting foot in mouth.

O dear O dear!! mmm mmm damage control time Doll. Do you still want to see him? And you have such a great funny bone too. Personally, I find men with a naughty sense of humour to be the most fun.

She would just like to meet a man who wouldn't make a comment about her body parts, until her got to know her a little bit first. It gets discouraging.

But you know I do to too V. I love the good/bad boy. But we haven't even shook hands yet and he's dropping not-so-subtle hints already? And thought I encouraged this?

Yeah as I said it was probably a bit over the line. Each of us is different in what we think is funny and what is inappropriate.
bet f of f,f is still single , better to know he is interested in f's hot s rather than her dollars , with added confirmation that he likes hot s's rather than a bum with kidneys

Would she forgive him for it , hardly a major issue Kaybee .

Well, Kay...I get it that you don't want to be seen as a body part...totally understandable. But on the other hand...you do want him to be attracted to you, correct? If he had said pretty or beautiful instead of hot, would that have been better? Maybe he just picked a word that set off your internal alarms...and after all...a word is just a word. JMO...but I think he was trying to be nice in the same joking way that you were speaking in...his choice of word was maybe not the best in regards to your experience, but how was he to know? It reminds me of that old line..."What we have here is a failure to communicate..." If you are still interested, maybe what you need is a good, old-fashioned conversation. Whatever you decide, best of luck!

He was using the word "Sasquatch" for P_ssy. Bringing up a few hours before we are to meet....
He was testing to see what my reaction to be. The first time he said it, I pretended not to notice. He made a point of saying it a 2nd time.
We haven't met, know little about one another other than, our initial convos were enjoyable and wanted some dinner to simply meet face to face.

No, she didn't over react too soon. She did the guy a favor by showing him right away how freaky she is. He is lucky that he didn't have to wait a few months down the road.

Kaybee50: I guess I didn't make it clear in my OP what "a hot Sasquatch" meant.
Please know, I am not easily offended or a prude. I just found it odd that he said that when inuendos hadn't come into play yet, not even flirting, and this said a few hours before meeting me for the first time. I got an impression, perhaps I was wrong.
Ahh, sorry about that, Kay. The more the story unfolds the better the picture. But is the impression you had recieved enough to not want to try again with him?
