It's okay brother, that disappointment was at herself as not everyone can handle the almighty power of The Angry Inch when they are finally face to face with The Mighty Thunder Thimble
That's rough, buddy. I'm guessing your field isn't one where you can hide your looks/take advantage of your voice, like telemarketing, radio/podcasting, etc?
Before that, I had a job, but it was a low-level something where I could stay in the back. Then I became a manager and HAD to be in people's faces. My customer service skills were top, but I didn't have that 'conventional' look, if you know what I mean.
When I went for another job, the interviewer over the phone was more than excited to meet me. When he met me tho, it became like a bad date, where he wanted to end the interview ASAP just to call me 3 days later to say that 'the position has been filled'. Lmao
Now, I don't care about how I look because anyone I deal with is immediately disarmed by how professional I come off as. Lol
I'm in the same boat because my name is 'Biblical'. They see it on paper and think there's some potential until they get the 14th Apostle from 'Dogma', Rufus...
I talked with a girl once for hours, in person. We had so much in common, she even said "this is like talking to a mirror." I decided to ask her out the next time I saw her. "You're great, but you're not my type." Shot down because I have hair and no tattoos. Dodged a bullet honestly.

I love how everyone assumes that I felt entitled to be in a relationship with this girl, and that's why I feel I dodged a bullet. No, as I continued to get to know her I realized she was super shallow, very controlling, and very insecure in the relationship she got into after this. Also, no I didn't want to fuck her. I would have had to date someone or at least a couple of months before I would even be able to consider having sex with anyone.
Because obviously he deserves to go out with any human that will accept having a conversation with him, duh. It's inconceivable to have an engaging conversation for no reason at all.
I had the opposite happen, we talked a lot and really clicked but upon meeting in person he got quiet and said “I didn’t know you were that tall” - the funny thing is that I’m only 5’9 but oh well 🤷♀️
Well, she learned a lesson, at least. Never fall in love with a voice alone.
Try as you might, you simply will not be able to discern what someone looks like from their voice alone and your mind will always make up the most fitting version to your current emotional state. Ergo, you like the voice? Your brain makes that person attractive and reality can only disappoint.
I’ve learned that the hard way with singers. I imagine such an attractive person attached to the voice and get so disappointed when I look them up. One of the few exceptions is Andy Black. Sexy deep voice that absolutely matches his face
My dad tells a story like this. Years ago there was a lady that answered the phone for a vendor he used and apparently she had a very nice voice. Well he met her in person one day and said that while she had the voice for phone sex she had the body of a beach ball and a mustache.
Full body skeleton costume for high school party. I was 17. Was dancing on the floor in costume, and Jaimy (yup, really spelled that way), who I’d had a crush on for months, just started dancing with me. People around loved it.
Song ended, and she started to tug on my mask, wanting to know who was under.
I pull it off and smile at her. She goes pale, looks like she’s about to vomit, and ducks into the crowd. I take a minute to just acknowledge what happened while the crowd starts dissipating, some friends clapping me awkwardly on the shoulder.
I leave the party.
Jaimy and I never publicly acknowledge what happened.
If have had it with some lady's, their voice over the phone is amazing but then when you meet them in person they look completely different then in your mind
the girl in the pizza shop either thought she knew the caller (by his voice) and liked him, or the caller has an attractive voice and she expected an attractive man but he wasn't
had to reread it like 5 times until i understood tbh
One time I was talking to a guy on Tinder and he kept texting about how sexy he thought my voice would be. I sent a cute little video of me calling him handsome, and I was immediately unmatched with.
It works both ways, I worked with a lady who was positioned at another site but we had spoken on the phone frequently and things had even got a little flirty at times, she had the voice of an angel, sounded so sweet and lovely, when she turned up at my site once for a training session she looked like a hag, my disappointment was immeasurable and my year ruined
Similar thing happened to me, but she got me in bed before the disappointment.
Criminally relatable 💀💀
Made it further than OOP at least

That and two minutes in pound town. 😂
This happened to me with job interviews.
Over the phone, I sound like Carlton Banks.
But in person, I look like Omar from The Wire.
"Sorry to bother you…"

Damn, I'm very happy for you! Well done!
You are a straight up Gangsta !
Omar comin!
whistles 'The Farmer in the Dell' as menacingly as possible
Br'er Rabbit territory.
I’m black with a “white” name. I’ve been called in to interview and then found out they didn’t hire me because I was black
I'm in the same boat because my name is 'Biblical'. They see it on paper and think there's some potential until they get the 14th Apostle from 'Dogma', Rufus...
Geoffrey, pronounced Joffree?
tea time, Lord Geoffrey!
Ayo, G!!! WHAT UP!?!?
It's all in the game, right?
No doubt.
Omar from the Wire is at the very least attractive so you got that going for you.
Michael K. Williams WAS a sexy beast fr...
Oh, indeed...
I mean i find both equally good from the vibe :D
Lmao now I’m picturing you showing up to the job interview like this:
I could only DREAM of having this much swag...
The early bird may get the worm, but the cheese gets the wine
But never forget, 'The Cheese stands alone...'
I think that's what I meant to say. Thanks for getting my butchered reference anyway
Nah, man. Baller analogy either way.
Not alone! Ricotta, to the Cheese!

Hey it's easier to go from hair and no tattoos to no hair and tattoos than the opposite
I can 100% attest to this being the case.
Do you also like women with no hair and tats though?
Christy Mack is pretty hot...
Why is someone not being physically attracted to you dodging a bullet lol?
No, she ended up being really shallow. And really insecure in her current relationship.
Well it sounds like you dodged a bullet, then! Lmao

He spent all that time talking to another person and didn't even get to fuck? Her good boy point threshold must be too high. Bullet dodged.
Yall know I'm joking right?
I'm demisexual actually, I would have had to date her for a couple months at least before I would even be able to sleep with her.
Are you saying she was into neo natzis or am i reading into it too much.
She likes burly biker dudes.
Thats just your terminally online mind speaking
Its reddit
maybe you were shot down because you clearly felt entitled to a romantic relationship after 1 conversation
Asking someone out doesn’t mean you feel entitled to a relationship with them, what a weird take
They have no issue with the asking someone out part. They're specifically referring to this:
I.e. the idea that the girl did something objectionable by having dating standards for physical attraction.
Respond to her look by saying, "Imagine how I feel".
oof
I also know the sorrow of a deceptively sexy phone voice. The looks I’ve had.
At least you got the voice. Imagine having neither...
Mine is “you know, you are really short” yeah yeah, I am Queen Victoria over here.
I had the opposite happen, we talked a lot and really clicked but upon meeting in person he got quiet and said “I didn’t know you were that tall” - the funny thing is that I’m only 5’9 but oh well 🤷♀️
Maybe give me 4 inches? We would be the perfect height 😂
Well, she learned a lesson, at least. Never fall in love with a voice alone.

Proven every time I see what the radio DJ looks like
Best possible pfp for that situation honestly.

Consider ASMR or vtubing...
Yeah… when I was a pizza delivery guy I showed up and the girl opened the door and she said “damn I was hoping for a hot one”. Brutal
I too have a face for radio
Ouch.

Same, I was having a little trouble with deciphering it with how it was worded. I dunno, it just feels a little... off
Same
I'm going to guess the reality was that OP misread the situation entirely in a fit of main character energy.
The girl was flirty and interested in the guy over the phone, but not when she saw what he looked like.
My dude has a voice, and apparent a face for Radio
I came to comment this very thing 🤙🏼
Sorry, can somebody explain what is happening here? I am just stumped.
So basically
r/redditsniper
oopss
"Was that you on the phone? ...oh."

Used to work drive thru in fast food. Got it all the time
Have the voice and face for radio
I genuinely don't understand what they're saying happened. Who is who? Is the punchline that they're ugly?
Profile picture makes it 1000x better
Am I the only one who got a stroke reading this and felt like, peeetha please explain.
