One common type is the catfish situation, like the story I mentioned before where the person looks nothing like their pictures. Another is when the date turns out to be really mean or aggressive in person.
Guys may experience horror stories where the online date has some really strange or off - putting habits. Maybe the person they meet is extremely clingy from the start, texting constantly and not respecting personal space. Or they could be really messy eaters or have some other unappealing behaviors that were not evident during the online chats.
Often, there are stories where guys meet someone who is only interested in their money. For example, a guy might take a girl on a nice date and then she starts asking for expensive gifts or money right away. Also, some guys encounter people who are just using them to make someone else jealous, like in the story where the girl brought her ex - boyfriend. It's really frustrating for the guys involved.
One common type is catfishing, where people pretend to be someone they're not. Another is when dates turn out to be overly aggressive or creepy. For example, they might touch you without permission.
A frequent type of horror story is related to money. Some daters on POF might try to scam others, asking for money for various made - up reasons like a sick relative or a business emergency.

One common type is catfishing, like I mentioned before, where people use fake pictures or identities. Another is when the person turns out to be really mean or aggressive in person. Also, some people lie about their relationship status, which can lead to a lot of problems.
A frequent horror story is related to people having bad intentions. For example, some might be only interested in a one - night stand when you're looking for a serious relationship. Also, there are those who are overly possessive or aggressive right from the start. It makes the whole online dating experience very unpleasant. You might start chatting with someone who seems charming, but then they turn into a nightmare once you meet in person. They could start stalking you or being verbally abusive. It's really scary.

One common type is misrepresentation. People lie about their looks, age, or job. Another is the extreme behavior of the date, like being too pushy or over - emotional. And then there's the case where there's just no chemistry at all despite the online connection.
A frequent type is the date turning out to be a total mismatch in terms of interests. Maybe they talked a lot online about shared hobbies but in person, there was no common ground at all. Also, people who bring drama to the date, such as constantly complaining about their life or being overly emotional in an inappropriate way. It can really ruin the mood of the date.
Well, the 'bad - manners' type is quite common. Some people are rude on the date, like constantly checking their phones or talking over the other person. There's also the 'unrealistic - expectations' type. For instance, a person might expect their date to be a perfect 10 in every aspect based on their online conversations. When reality doesn't meet those expectations, it becomes a disaster. And don't forget about the 'hidden - agenda' type, where someone has ulterior motives like just looking for money or a place to stay.
One common type is when the date is extremely self - centered. For example, they only talk about themselves and don't show any interest in the man's life. Another type is when there are big surprises like unexpected guests or strange behaviors. For instance, a date might suddenly start singing loudly in a public place for no reason.
One common type is the financial scam. Like I mentioned before, scammers ask for money for things like medical bills or travel expenses. Another is the identity theft scam. They may get enough information from you during the chats to steal your identity.
