I found out the reason for his one word replies

[katiie3]

I posted about dating a man with one word replies. Turns out after we video called, he felt as I wasn’t as attractive anymore.

He basically was trying to cut me out.

[Heatherjayne1972]

It’s nice when the trash takes itself out

Onwards and upwards ...

[GazingAndGrazing]

Feel thankful he showed his truth cards this early on!

[katiie3]

Yup. I managed to speak to him about it attitude and he said his feelings had changed after seeing me on a video call etc

He basically insinuated that I had become unattractive during lockdown.

[OntheWaves40]

What an idiot.

[MummyGoingItAlone]

What a prick! Better off without him. At least he didn’t ghost you though.
I’ve just been ghosted after we slept together (it’s been 3 months of contact and a few meet ups) Done nothing for my confidence but hey.

[Rubyred24]

Oh wow and how did he look?

[katiie3]

Im so grateful that I have found out early on about what he is like and how he can be so cruel but as much as I try to remember this, it really has knocked my confidence too.

Well, you may look a bit rougher on the outside, as do I but we can amend that with a trip to the shops once open. He can’t amend his fucking rude, horrible inner character.

His loss

[katiie3]

@MummyGoingItAlone ye, he ghosted me today. He didn’t bother replying back to my last message. I asked him a question. He read it and didn’t reply.

I deleted his number.

[OnlyJudyCanJudgeMe]

Oh that’s nice....off you fuck then.

[Fairycake2]

What a tosser. You're definitely better off without him. And thank goodness you didn't waste too much time on him

[katiie3]

@Rubyred24 he looked like he had aged! His beard was scruffy and his clothes looked scruffy.

Never even gave it a thought.

[Blahblahblahzz]

Tbh online dating is so grim/ brutal he could easily be a bloke who gets his kicks out of putting women down. Nothing to do with you. Chin up & carry on.

[LittleWing80]

Block him too or he will try to come back with some BS. I bet you won’t miss his constructive feedback skills and scruffy beard ewww.
Don’t let it affect you! 💐

[CorianderLord]

Oh god he's one of those men. Do you really want to be dolled up every second of every day with him? Because that's what he wants. Find a man who tells you you look lovely/ adorable/ sweet / fresh when you're in your PJS with your hair ragged up

[FromRockBottom]

Nasty excuse of a man. I can't even imagine how many times he's been dropped on his head to be that awful.

Totally agree with CorianderLord, he sound like he wants an overly groomed woman. Thank lockdown for saving you from a life of misery with this man.

[WhiteWriting]

@Heatherjayne1972 - that is the best thing I have ever heard on Mumsnet - respect!

[sawollya]

The trash took itself out. I like that.

He sounds like he was after a genuine connection, hmmm, no not at all. I bet he looked fantastic himself.

[WhiteWriting]

to the OP - and he was God's gift was he? No, thought not. Dodged a bullet there - superficial knob.

[WhatWouldYouDoWhatWouldJesusDo]

Sounds like a lucky escape.

I'm currently sat flopped on the sofa wearing nothing but a pair of dps boxers on, the leg hair is as abundant as ever, as are the saggy boobs.

Other than snigger as he walked past at the utter sight before his poor eyes do hadn't uttered a word. This is because he isnt a shallow twat.

There are decent men out there, men like my dp who has seen me at my worst which is 90% of the time........you deserve someone decent. Don't settle for anything or anyone less.

[Bleepbloopblarp]

You’re well rid OP!

[YourWinter]

Beauty is only skin deep
Kindness and manners aren't

[Chatons]

Buh-bye dickhead. Ding! NEXT!

[Lardlizard]

What a loser he is, you are well rid of him op!

[DamnYankee]

As someone who "keeps up" for my mental health, you are well rid of an utter b*st$rd.

My ultimate low was after birth - both c/s. My DH helped me shuffle to the bathroom, change the wound dressing, watched me weep my way through breastfeeding...

You need a man who sees you as beautiful as you are!

Karma's a bitch. Here's hoping he gets one!
