Mine is for referring to the 69 position as 'summer of 69ing' and condoms ss 'rubber johnnies'.

It just made my skin crawl and there was no coming back from that!

Oh, just thought of another. Pronounced them jal-ah-pen-yos

Because he danced in front of me like George Michael.

It's was 2003....

ThaneOfScunthorpe · 29/05/2014 02:46

Oh another one - referred to 'rumpy pumpy' and 'making love'.

I am shuddering just writing this.

TheCatThatSmiled · 29/05/2014 01:57

He got a tattoo, of his own name, as he couldn't think what to put on it.

proper tantrum when I suggested people would think it was the name of his boyfriend.

I dumped him for having no intelligence or imagination. And homophobic.

Too many spelling mistakes... they really put me off. Nothing more off-putting that a love poem full of spelling mistakes.

1 because he was obsessed with Family Guy.

1 because he said things strangely in an effort to sound posh, like garage was ga-rarge in a ridiculous fake french accent, it annoyed the hell out of me.

I also walked out on a first date because the guy said OMG lol in a conversation, write them in a text/on the internet fine but they are not supposed to be spoken ever!

TraceyTrickster · 29/05/2014 01:30

when m,y date turned up in a Ferrari. I felt really ill at ease.

LuluJakey1 · 29/05/2014 00:39

In what context would anyone say XYZ all the time in a conversation? Am I missing something or was he just talking rubbish?

Sunflower49 · 29/05/2014 00:33

Saying 'XYZ' all the time in conversation.

Being so hairy , like nailbrush hairy, that I looked as if I'd been stood on the kitchen sink to be 'scrubbed' after sex.

Being nasty to a waitress in a restaurant (although that may sound trivial, I think it was valid and I'd do the same, now)!

TOADfan · 29/05/2014 00:27

I have been on 3 dates in my life. All 3 have become ltr. I feel as if I have missed out Grin

LuluJakey1 · 29/05/2014 00:18

He breathed

EvilStepMam · 29/05/2014 00:06

He ate a packef of crisps ...... noisily

He breathed ...... noisily

He drank a cup of tea .....noisily

3 different guys, me?? issues????? Blush

lessonsintightropes · 29/05/2014 00:05

Because he referred to me as 'his good lady'. Was a lovely man too, and DH has now done this a few times but I am training him out of it Had a gray front tooth too though in my poor defence.

blueballoon79 · 29/05/2014 00:03

Would stick his hand into his underwear and rub the palm of his hand over his balls then inhale the odour and proclaim how sexy and raw it smelt.
He'd do this a few times a day.
He thought he was Gods gift to women. I cringe even now thinking about him!

wheresthebeach · 28/05/2014 23:59

Shouted when he came. Really loudly.

Primafacie · 28/05/2014 23:52

*trivial

Primafacie · 28/05/2014 23:52

Oh please, a LOT of these are perfectly valid dumping reasons - nothing trivia about bad smell/ bad sex/ idiots.

Seriously, surely my Manichaean one is a winner? Please?

storynanny2 · 28/05/2014 23:38

Ive got a few

  1. Because on his washing line, his once a week wash, there were only 2 pairs of underpants.
  2. Yucky stuff in the corners of his eyes.
  3. Wearing a flat cap on first date to look trendy?
  4. Sulking because I wouldnt have sex with him on first date.
vivideye · 28/05/2014 23:37

first one smelled funny

second one ate with his mouth open

the other one had stringy spit

is it any surprise I'm still single with men like these in the world?

Oldraver · 28/05/2014 23:33

One took me to Bella Pasta and wanted to order ONE dish between us..and wouldn't let me pay....ever. and he wouldn't go down on me

ChangelingToday · 28/05/2014 23:32

Ketchup on his chin. It turned me off straight away.

justmuddlingalong · 28/05/2014 23:26

Rofl at the fudge. What a treat!

QueenofLouisiana · 28/05/2014 23:26

I was fed up of coming second to trombone practise. He was 27 and we'd been together for years. I was having a rough time and rang to chat and was asked to wait until he'd finished practicing and watched a Question of Sport.

That was the end, I drowned my sorrows somewhere else.

TalisaMaegyr · 28/05/2014 23:20

HAHAHAHA GrinGrin

Floundering · 28/05/2014 23:18

He produce an ice cold Finger of Fudge in bed one night......

"no I don't fucking care whether Marianne Faithfull likes it..... get out"

I still giggle when I see one Grin

Tight white trousers with dark briefs underneath...spotty ones people laughed at him as he walked into the pub, I necked the drink & made my excuses.

Terribly nice chap asking me politely whether I'd climaxed yet- I lied as I wanted to go to sleep & dumped him next day.We'd been going out for some weeks & he treated me like a princess , was very attentive & polite but BOOORRRING poor bloke.

Small willy. Large ego.

3 different blokes.
