I understand, but I’m also offended.
II am a 54F. 6 years ago a natural disaster destroyed my home. I lost everything, including my dogs. Shortly before that I had lost my beloved mother. I began having panic attacks because of the back to back losses. I was put on Klonopin.
I gained 50 pounds quickly. I tapered off the medication which wasn’t helping much anyway, and I lost all the weight in just a few months. During that period of time my id badge for work was taken. It looks nothing like me now, but is a door scan badge and serves its purpose.
I matched with a 63M on OLD earlier this week. In preparation for a date tomorrow, we spoke on the phone today and the conversation went well. During our talk I mentioned where I worked. About 20 minutes later he texted asking if my pictures were accurate. I sent the date stamps and offered to do a FaceTime.
I’m pretty sure that old id photo came up in a search and that is what is behind his text. I get that people are concerned about photos, but I’m also hurt and offended this happened. I guess I just needed to vent.
