Unless you wanted to send that

Girl: hahaha

i just still don't understand lol

Boy: You don't have to

It's ok

Girl: i just wanna know like what's the point

the selfie you sent was timestamped 2 months ago

Friday 2:55pm

Boy: Ok

I will give u the real reason

Ppl are catfishing

And I like to see recent pics

Girl: ok that's fair

all the pics on my profile were pretty recent but ive def come across people who put pics from years ago

Boy: Yes

Girl: but have you ever been catfished fr where it's just a totally different person

Boy: No

But like angles can make you lose 100 pounds xD

Girl: mm is see

I don't really mind if people are fatter than their photos seem

that's not really catfishing, that's just life

Boy: I do

But asking that

Is very rude right

So I just ask for selfie

Friday 7:02pm

Girl: while i appreciate your honestly, i hope you can do some soul searching and learn to appreciate thic women

Boy: Looool

Are you serious

Girl: yea i'm serious bro

every woman in recent history has been taught to be insecure about their weight and how they look

i started having negative thoughts about my body when i was 5

likewise, your thoughts about fatness not being attractive is learned

Boy: Well

Women have been getting bigger xD

Also trust me

I have been with some big girls

It was disgusting

Nothing to learn

Girl: ugh. well i won't be taking this any further with you

Boy: What you said kind of made me not wanna hang out with you either

I guess you could not take the honesty of what men think

Girl: not all men think like you

Boy: You're wrong

Some guys just have fetishes

I would like to point out I never called you fat

Girl: you just hang around guys who think like you

you don't have to call me fat for you to give me the ick

Boy: No I don't

This is why guys lie xD

Bc girls get the ick over everything

Girl: fuck man

as if your lies can't be sussed out

Boy: They really can't

I have gotten laid more times lying then telling the truth

Girl: congratulations?

Boy: Yes

Girl: fuckoff

Good job with the prompt, Mara. Welcome to Reedsy. This seemed almost too real sometimes. I'm glad I grew up in a world without cellphones. People are too dishonest unless they are pressed. It didn't take long to unveil this guy's true colors. I liked your choice to make it a text conversation.
