Could this person be using someone else's pictures?

I met a man on a date site. We talked a couple of times on the phone and decided to meet at a halfway point for coffee today. He suddenly told me that his car was broken down and asked me if I could drive out to his city which is kind of far from me. 

Suddenly he got strange and said he thinks I didn't meet him because he is disgusting, brown, and fat. He has sent me a few pictures through text and he is thin, not ugly, and he is clearly not brown. Color has nothing to do with me not driving out to meet him at all. Could it be this person is another person using someone else's pictures? Or could it be that this person has a distorted self-image? I'm confused by this.

    Stop trying to figure him out.

    Regardless of anything, he appears not to be an authentic person...or he is mentally ill.

    Either way... R U N !! 

    You do not need his dysfunction in your life.

    All my alarm bells are ringing - REALLY LOUDLY! He sounds like a scammer. All the things he's doing/saying is a good example of what they do to rope people in before coming up with more elaborate BS and asking for money. Please have nothing more to do with him. PLEASE DON'T!!

    Anything is possible.   Dump him and move on.

    Tell him you're happy to wait until his car is repaired, and meet as arranged at the half-way point. DON'T go all the way to meet him at this point.

    It's obvious this person is a serial killer.  Lose his contact information.  Fast!

    This is why it is best to meet people in real life. You really never know sometimes people cat fish or is NOT who they say they are

    If he really wants to meet, then it's unlikely that he is using someone else's photos. What is more likely is that is he using his photos from years back when he was slimmer and younger looking, or he is using heavily filtered ones to attract women.

    Now he is losing his nerve when it comes to meeting face to face

    Hardly anyone uses real, raw, unfiltered photos of themselves on dating sites because if they looked like they do in real life, noone would date then. That's WHY they're on dating sites. So its possible he's using someone else's photos, or he might just be using doctored images of himself.
