I once arranged to meet someone from an app, 我有次跟一个在软件上认识的人约了见面,

and I walked right past him twice 结果我直接从他面前走过去两次,

because I genuinely did not recognize him. 因为我真的一点都没认出他来。

The photos, it turned out, 后来才知道,他的那些照片,

were from about ten years and one very different hairstyle ago. 大概是十年前拍的,而且发型完全是另外一个样。

For a second I was annoyed. 有那么一瞬间我是挺不爽的。

But honestly, the bigger problem wasn't how he looked. 但老实说,更大的问题还不是他的长相。

It was that starting a date already feeling 而是约会才刚开始,就让人觉得

slightly deceived is a hard place to begin. 自己被忽悠了,这种开场真的很糟糕。

It made me wonder what else was a decade out of date. 这让我忍不住想,他还有什么是十年前的老黄历了。

I've come to think the photo thing is really about honesty. 我越来越觉得,照片这件事本质上就是看你诚不诚实。

I'd take an ordinary, real picture over a flattering, 任何时候我都宁愿要一张普通而真实的照片,

fake one every single time. 也不想要一张好看却虚假的照片。

Because eventually you have to actually show up, 因为说到底你总得真人露面,

and the real you is who 而那个真实的你,才是

has to sit down at that table. 最终得坐到那张桌子前的人。
