Today, I tried asking a guy I like on a date. He turned me down, saying that I "seem like a nice person and all", but after seeing those reality shows on truTV, he "would rather not date a Russian. No offense, though." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, a guy didn’t want to take me on a second date. I asked him if it was because I’m not pretty, or because I’m not catwalk model skinny, or too short, and he told me quite openly that it had nothing to do with that, I’m just so boring. FML
Today, I got rejected by two different guys. One was my ex-boyfriend who said he wanted to keep our friendship, and the other was a guy I went on a date with who faked a European accent the whole time during our date despite him being born and raised in Texas. FML
Today, I met up with a guy from a local dating site for coffee. He walked up, looked me over and said "Ummm, no", then walked off. FML
Today, I met a guy in a bar. He was sweet and funny so I asked him out for coffee later. He quickly turned me down, saying that I didn't even meet his first requirement. His first requirement was "looks like a girl." FML
Today, I tried to step out of my comfort zone and go out with a guy who’s not my usual type. He spent the whole date griping and complaining about how women never go for “nice guys” like him. When I pointed out we were currently on a date, he said, “I mean hot girls.” FML
Today, I had a blind date with a really cute guy. Just when I was about to invite him back to my place for a nightcap, he took out a catalog of Russian mail-order brides and asked for my help in picking out the best one. FML
Today, a woman left our first date just because I didn't like the same character as her on a TV show. FML
Today, I went on a date with someone I've been talking to online for weeks. Unfortunately, it turns out they'd used old photos and misrepresented themselves, and I didn't find them attractive at all. Even I'm not that desperate. We ended up having an awkward dinner and I couldn't wait for it to be over. FML
Today, I went on a date with a seemingly nice guy I met online. He was drunk when I got there. Within the first 10 minutes, he had told me I was "like Hitler but with boobs", and I was "offensive to the ninja community." Then he said I just wasn't all he had hoped for and left. FML
Today, I went on a date with a guy I met online. It was going OK, until he started asking me if he should stick with the site until he finds the right person. I guess I know how he feels about me, at least. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

You're definitely better off having not dated such a discriminatory asshole.

What's the issue with dating a Russian? His loss
crudeandrudeguy 29
But it's TRU TV.... Therefore whatever he sees on that channel is obviously true. Moron It must also mean all Russians are the exact same way
AyeJay101 25
The only thing I've seen of Russia on Tru TV is some seriously bad driving/accidents on camera... So that can't be it
Silver7827 14
remember the days of COURT TV?

OP, are you even Russian? IF you are, how did he know? Also, obviously, he's an ass and you deserve better.

In soviet Russia, relationship break up you.

I thought it was funny!

You don't want to date someone that close minded anyway!

His loss if he doesn't understand the concept of a tv show
NeatNit 33
I think dramas and sci-fi shows are probably closer to reality that 'reality' shows are

Even Syfy shows are closer to reality than reality shows.

Tarlachia 33

Denmark that guy off the list of people you'd like to date.

Seems you'll easliy be able to Cope-nhagen over the loss of this asshole
sanchitgoyal 27
as someone who haant seen shows on TruTv, what happens on them?
laden_swallow09 35
Since Catfish is on MTV – seriously, whatever happened to the M in MTV? – I don't think I know which show OP is talking about.

What are you babbling on about 11?

It's his loss anyway

He sounds like a racist idiot. Seems like you dodged a bullet

Russian isn't a race. It's a nationality
Mathalamus 25
there's no term for being against a certain nationality. so it defaults to racism.
angelnursery 18
...? No? Russians are still white, so, it's not exactly the same as the racist ways of someone who discriminates against Asians or black people.
I_Like_Dogs 28
Xenophobia?
Earl_KarmasBitch 36
＠5 Kindly explain in biological terms what is a race then? When you fail miserably we can laugh at how you managed to be wrong about the very thing you were being pedantic about.
NozomiTojo 21
Not all Russians are white.
Elijah0 16
Not racist, culturalist perhaps. I have a friend who says that Russians escape Russia by killing or *******... He's also a bit of a drug addict soooo... I wonder if OP had a Russian accent and if so what region? Some accents are so hot.
katachristic 19
Nationalist? No... Wait...

@44 "Discriminatory" or "prejudiced" would've both been serviceable terms. People throw around words in the wrong context like nobody's business.

If you are being judged solely by something you had no choice in the matter, ethnicity, birth location, orientation, it's bigotry, same thing. And people of European descent are discriminated too. Wife and I were in a restaurant operated by local family that happened to have African ancestry, incidental to us, we heard the food was good. We were nice, polite, patient and paid promptly. Then were handed a to go bag, not what we wanted, and told to LEAVE!

Looks like you dodged a douchey bullet there, OP. Keep your head up, their loss.
