A local woman is sharing her embarrassing experience after being ghosted by a flaky mystery man. The lady had travelled from Mpumalanga all the way to Pretoria, more than 200km, to meet the man she had the hopes of starting a relationship with.
Heading online, @khomotsoacc shared her story.
"Have you ever been ghosted?
"I travelled from Mpumalanga to Pta to meet a guy I was chatting to on FB and when I arrived at Bosman, he blocked me. He read my messages, then blocked me. Mind you I had no friends or family in Pta, I had to sleep at the bus depot," she captioned the post tearily.

"Many years ago. Through some school village chats, I secured an appointment with a gorgeous lady. On the day I went to meet her at Charlton Center. Lo & behold she was not the stunner that I saw on her profile picture and some of the pics she shared. When I saw her I started walking backwards."

Debates sparked as topic of beautiful women who date ugly men trends, Mzansi reacts
In more juicy relationship news, Briefly News previously reported that beautiful women who date ugly men were the trend everyone was on in Mzansi recently as people had their say on the apparent phenomenon.
A Twitter user, @TomiRikhotso, opened the floodgates when he tweeted on the subject, instigating an avalanche of reactions from Mzansi's relationship-savvy public.
The tweet garnered hundreds of likes as opposing views filled up the comments section. The mini thread of the tweet read:
"When a beautiful woman is in a relationship with an ugly guy it’s not always that she’s after money, right? Sometimes, that’s her type of guy or she’s not after looks but love and connection, am I right?
"I’ve got this very beautiful friend, she doesn’t date pretty guys, she says they turn her off. The uglier you are, the more she wants you."
Soon, Saffas shared their two cents' worth on the topic. Some relayed their own experiences while others took the opportunity to air other people's dirty laundry.

"Yep. My cousin was dating an okay-looking gent compared to her (don't like labelling people as ugly) and he was a teacher dololo zaka (with no money).
"She said she loved him, not his looks. Sadly, after three years of dating, it turned out nikka was busy paying lobola for someone else. But, yeah, she liked him."
@KabeloBannister noted:
"That's me. Good-looking guys turn me off. You might not be cute and be broke, I will still be crazy about you. It's all about connection. Hence, I am still single."

"I thought it's because good-looking gents are also SBWL'ed (wanted) in the dating market and she doesn't want to share or deal with other huns throwing themselves at him."
@keke_kaykay2 said
"I actually have friends who don't date good-looking guys. I don't get it but they are so adamant about it [that] I've stopped trying to understand."
