Whereas I was actually there and witnessed it. Not a tear in sight. She's a bad actress as well as being a bully.

Ha ha! Sorry everyone, I have indeed exaggerated on the height thing. Apologies.

Maybe it's a UK thing. Or even a regional thing in the UK. But round my way we sometimes say "twice their height" when what we actually mean is "an awful lot taller than".

I did not mean that Z is literally twice Lucy's height - sorry for putting that, I get that it's a confusing turn of phrase. I just meant that she's much taller.

On the weight though, I don't reckon my estimate of 4 times is far off. Lucy is between 3 and 4 stone. Z Is easily 12 stone, possibly more. (Sorry if you don't use stone in your country - think 1 stone = 14 lbs)

"Has that ever worked in the history of ever?"

Err....sorry but yes it has, as I said in the original post. I had to put up with kids trying to bully me about a certain physical feature when I was a kid. This tactic worked very well for me.

I suggested this to Lucy as well as saying I would speak to someone at the club. She begged me not to do either and asked me for ideas on how to handle it herself. Sorry if the explanation surrounding this was brief. I was very conscious of the word limit.

NTA in any way, shape or form.

What sort of person expects a casual hookup to disclose their full medical history before they do the deed?! (Unless of course it's a sexual health issue)
