You have to love the "my mate" storiesMate , similar thing happened to my mate on one of these sites and when he tipped up (having agreed to a blind date cos work prevented her sending a photo or number ) it was a transvestite , now at this point I suppose it all depends on how loosely you define 'woman' and how low your standards are to accommodate the all important 'great personality' cos to be fair he/she/it could be great crack
Good luck
