To think this a red flag? And either way be completely cringed out?

Went on a third date with a man, and for relevance we have not had sex yet.

The conversation kind of shifted to exs (it was relevant) and he said he broke up with his ex as it became apparent she only wanted two things:

To live with him rent free
To have an incredible dicking every day (which he followed up with yeah I know that sounds big headed)

I just kind of said “oh right” and changed the subject. Maybe he is fantastic in bed, maybe not, but it definitely gave me the absolute ick.

What an incredible prick

user5438 · 07/11/2024 21:11

Using the phrase ‘incredible dicking’ is a major red flag and ick in itself..

I think it’s very hard to know without having more context about him ax a person. On the one hand he sounds like a tool, on the other, it is just about conceivable that some men may not want to be with a woman who isn’t bringing anything to a partnership beyond sex, at least not long term. If there is a scenario where he’s working hard to fund everything and is tired etc it is sort of possible to imagine.

but then again, on balance of probability him being a massive tool is most likely.

Off subject but I was once getting a pedicure and the therapist was male. Liked to chat, unfortunately. Anyway chatting about TV shows and we both liked said show and he exclaimed the below several times, very loudly:

'Yeah I was dicking it hard!'

I was aghast! Husband and and I now use this phrase quite a lot and have a good chuckle.

It's always disappointing when you've made it to date 2 or 3 and then a man does something like this.

I remember going on date 2 and towards the end after dinner we were walking to the tube, we passed an Ann Summer's shop (back when they were still around) and the date made some coarse comment about the outfits that he thought was really funny.

I just hailed the next black cab that passed, got in it and never spoke to him again.

Smut and the like can be sexy - but only when you're really into that person and it's a joke. Not like this. It's gross and very squirmy-inducing.

Eurgh.

Never mind his ex, but the phrase "incredible dicking" will certainly be living rent free (in my head)

Crying with laughter at this.

Lemonadeand · 07/11/2024 21:07

Ew. Drop and run.

I think unless you’ve broken up with your ex on very good terms, then it’s always an awkward conversation to have whilst getting to know someone new.

Why do you need to have a conversation about it (especially the sex part) though? Just a general we didn't want the same things is enough.

BangaloreLulu · 07/11/2024 21:03

Is he called Boris Johnson? That's just the kind of shit talk I could imagine coming out of that buffoon's mouth.

She probably paid for everything and he has a limp dick

Sounds about right.

She dumped him as he paid for nothing and his willy was a tadpole!

It would be interesting to hear the other side of the story....

The words aren’t the best lol but maybe he was trying to say it in a light hearted way.

I think unless you’ve broken up with your ex on very good terms, then it’s always an awkward conversation to have whilst getting to know someone new.

If your ex cheated on you, you would probably say it in quite a light hearted way to show a new date that you’re not messed up from it.

I met a man who was still obviously hurt over his ex cheating on him and although I understood, I felt it was a red flag and didn’t continue it.
If he said it in a more light hearted way, then I would have carried on seeing him.

It basically sounds like she used him.
Or he felt used.

I wouldn’t cross him off my list for that one comment if he seems otherwise ok, but it would make me less keen to see him.

Perhaps give him one more chance and see how it goes.

DamselinDistress24 · 07/11/2024 20:59

I think she deserved the free rent if she had to shag that every day (or at all).

Guavafish1 · 07/11/2024 20:56

Hmm sounds very bitter

IncredibleDicking · 07/11/2024 20:55

twirls

Thanks for the NC inspo, OP!

padsi1975 · 07/11/2024 20:55

Best laugh I have had today, thank you very witty posters.

Youvebeenframed · 07/11/2024 20:55

Sounds like a keeper
When do you move in OP 🏡🍆

coxesorangepippin · 07/11/2024 20:53

Is he public school??

It has echos of the infamous 'darling you smell like botty' comment from days of yore on here

autienotnaughty · 07/11/2024 20:51

Wow rent free and an incredible dicking?? How is this man still single 🤔

BettyBardMacDonald · 07/11/2024 20:50

tgatwas · 07/11/2024 19:57

Yes!

Gross.

I like my men to be more couth and respectful than that, sorry. Who the fuck says things like that on third meeting?

Bin, bin, bin. And tell him why if he asks.

(Also, I don't know why people are so hot to discuss prior relationships. I never have, and never will. It's irrelevant.)

Josie901 · 07/11/2024 20:50

I'm not that surprised he thinks a) having enough money to support his ex b) being good in bed are flexes. He clearly just wanted you to know this early on.

I wouldn't be interested in him giving me an incredible dicking though so I wouldn't see him again.

Zone2NorthLondon · 07/11/2024 20:48

You saying absolute ick is as bad as him saying incredible dicking. Both dreadful

Mrssmith3 · 07/11/2024 20:46

Maybe he thought you would be tempted. If it was that incredible he wouldn’t be single would he.

MancMa · 07/11/2024 20:46

Creased laughing at both that expression and the comments on here. I would never be able to look him in the eye again.
