1st Date & Foot Fetish Revelation?

[tyler]

Here's an interesting article about a woman's horrible experience with a guy who was just being honest with her about his fetish. She considered his behaviours deviant.

Are we generally doomed with this level of honesty on a first date, or is this an isolated incident you think, or did this dude just put his figurative foot in his mouth too much by not reading the signs?

Just curious of other people's thoughts on this guy's mishap.
