Facebook DMs Date Gone Wrong - Not Sure How to Feel?

Gallery image

Gallery image

I met a woman on FB dating and we agreed to get mexican food.

I drove over, walked up, and she instantly took offense to my nose piercing. (They are in my profile pictures).

We were both hungry and I offered to still pay for dinner despite her distaste, but she noped out and said she was leaving.

I’m genuinely not sure how to feel. Admittedly, it did hurt my feelings slightly. On the other hand, I’ve also just learned not to care anymore.

Screenshots are of what she had to say after it happened.

I guess I’m just sharing this because I’d like to hear other opinion.

I want one but I am too much of a wussy to ever pull the trigger on it. While I don’t like people that judge others over aesthetic appearances it’s nice that they let themselves be known pretty quickly. All the easier to avoid them.

They have ones you can wear without actually getting your nose pierced, just FYI.

Yep. I’ve recently started dating someone who has a septum ring. I don’t like it at all, she looks so much prettier in her “before” pictures.

But who cares? It makes her happy, and it’s not hurting anything.

If she asks me for my honest opinion on it one day, I’d gently share that it’s not my thing, but that I’m glad it makes her happy.

And if she never asks, then she doesn’t want to know and I shut up.

i got married 2 days ago. i'm 33 and he's 36.
we exchanged seamless rings for our septum piercings instead of wedding bands. (they each were 14+ years old and we both needed new ones.)

something that really struck a chord with me when we first met was that we had the exact same piercing (stretched septum) and exact same jewelry (seamless hinged ring).

i can't imagine we'd have gotten this far if my nose ring had been an issue for him or vice versa. i think both of us will be buried in ours.

I’m 39 and debating on getting a nip and a lip piercing like I used to have before becoming a mom.

It’s funny reading “I’m 30 with a septum” then the next line is “fuck those weirdos” lol

u/BlueRock_Capital 13h ago
