A Los Angeles woman says a first date with a man she met on Instagram took a bizarre turn after she realised he appeared to be more than a decade older than she had expected — before he allegedly spent much of the evening trying to convince her to start an OnlyFans account.
Greta Devereux (@greta.div) said the man's Instagram profile made him appear to be around 23, but when they met in person, she believed he was closer to 35. However, she claims the age discrepancy quickly became the least awkward part of the encounter, as the conversation allegedly shifted towards his work, his connections and her potential career in adult content.
Devereux later described the experience in a tearful TikTok, saying she eventually left before finishing her meal.
'All He's Doing Is Bragging'
According to Devereux, the pair connected through Instagram before agreeing to meet in Los Angeles.
She said she was surprised when the man looked considerably older than she had expected, leading her to suspect that he had been using older photographs on his profile. Despite the initial surprise, Devereux said she continued with the date.
Things allegedly became uncomfortable once they went to a bar, where she claimed the man barely paid attention to her and instead kept looking at other women. When they sat down, Devereux said the conversation became heavily focused on him and his professional life.
She claimed he repeatedly talked about managing influencers and his connections in the online world.
'All he's doing is bragging,' she recalled in her video.
Devereux also said she was struck by what she described as a lack of interest in her.
'Did not even call me pretty or anything,' she said.
The OnlyFans Pitch
The date took an even more unexpected turn when, according to Devereux, the man began encouraging her to create content for OnlyFans.
She claimed he presented the platform as an opportunity to build her online presence and suggested that she could benefit from creating adult content. The man allegedly went further by suggesting that Devereux move to Miami and offering to help her succeed.
For Devereux, the conversation was far removed from what she thought she had agreed to when she accepted the date.
Rather than getting to know each other, she said she felt the evening had become an unsolicited discussion about her career and how she could use her appearance and social-media presence to make money.
The situation eventually became too uncomfortable for her, and she walked out before finishing her food.
'It's About How Demoralising Dating Is'
Devereux's emotional TikTok attracted a mixed response, with viewers divided over her reaction to the encounter. Some commenters questioned why the experience had left her crying, arguing that she could simply have ended the date earlier.
Others defended her, saying an uncomfortable or disappointing encounter can still be upsetting, particularly when someone has arrived expecting a completely different experience.
One viewer suggested that the reaction was not necessarily about the individual date, but about the wider frustration and exhaustion that can come with modern dating.
The discussion also included criticism of Devereux after she appeared to speculate about whether the man's behaviour could be connected to autism. Some viewers objected to that suggestion and said it was inappropriate to associate awkward behaviour with the condition.
Her Version Of Events
Devereux has publicly shared her account of what happened, but the man's identity and version of the date have not been independently established. That distinction is important because the allegations about his age, behaviour during the date and attempts to persuade her to create OnlyFans content come from Devereux's account.
The available report does not establish whether the man deliberately used old photographs, nor does it independently verify what was said during their meeting.
Still, the story has resonated with viewers because of the unusual combination of events: an apparent age discrepancy, a date she says was dominated by his self-promotion and an alleged attempt to persuade her to enter the adult-content industry.
For Devereux, what began as an Instagram connection ended with her walking away from the table — and questioning whether the encounter was representative of the increasingly unpredictable world of modern dating.
The original report was published on 22 September 2026 and identifies Devereux as a Los Angeles woman who shared her experience on TikTok. The platform referenced in the account is OnlyFans, while the social media platforms mentioned are Instagram and TikTok.
