Dating Horror Stories From the Real World

This is the true story . . . of seven women . . . picked to post on a blog . . . write together and have their answers compiled . . . to find out what happens . . . when men are left to their own devices . . . and dress themselves for dates . . . The Real World. But seriously, you think the stuff you see on TV is ugly, wait until you hear what's out there in the social experiment that is the dating field. So when asked, "What's the worst thing your date showed up in on your first meeting?" the women of Reddit were more than happy to list the bad — and there is plenty of bad. Consider these men kicked out of the house.
