A woman’s Tinder date with a self-proclaimed “looksmaxxer” turned into a nightmare when the supposed 6’3″ influencer she’d been talking to for six months showed up as a 5’6″ catfish who spent their entire ramen meal critiquing her face. The story, told in a viral TikTok GRWM (Get Ready With Me) video by Miami-based creator @choppedanduncbutfree, has racked up 2.6 million views and sparked a wave of relatable horror stories about online dating’s worst pitfalls.
The date started with a red flag the size of Florida. After six months of Snapchat flirting, @choppedanduncbutfree finally agreed to meet her match in person at a trendy downtown ramen spot. She’d only seen his face in heavily filtered selfies and thirst-trap clips, where he posted “looksmaxxing” advice to his sizable following.
