How to make your vulva clamp shut: a tinder story

Hi ladies!

I'm after your funny / horror / tinder or date stories or something that made your vulva clamp shut from men. Fucking men. I want to stay away from men and dating apps and in seeking to be completely put off for life!

I'll go first.. I got an absolute shiner off of tinder say to me 'I really want you to be my girlfriend, so you can see to my trouser cannon every day.

Fucking TROUSER CANNON.

Another: got to an organised drinks first date, and the guy had those white stringy bits all around his crusty lips. I kept licking my lips in the hope he'd do the same and kept thinking fuck me if he kisses me im going to have to see the hygienist.

Another took screenshots off of my social media, and told me that im wearing 'too much makeup' and he likes his 'girls' (yes girls) to dress modestly and be more natural. The photo he picked was me at a concert, covered in glitter.
Note: this bloke has botox. But told me off for wearing glitter.

Lastly: met a bloke in the supermarket of all places. Asked me out for a drink and I agreed. Exchanged numbers. (I was 18 at this point). He said that he was Russell brands cousin and he had RB and katy Perry coming round that evening for drinks and would I like to join? I was SO EXCITED. Funnily enough, I'd just seen her on tour the week before and knew for a fine fact she wasn't in the country. But anyhoo I thought I'd play along. Anyway, he said he would pick me up at X time on the back of his motorbike. (I wouldn't have gone.) when he told me he was on his way, apparently in the 10 minute journey his Nan died, and he also got pulled over for speeding and immediately lost his license and asked if he could come to mine.

I am so happy to be out of relationships. Men can fuck off. Posting for traffic.

Ah, I knew that was coming.

Who are you to say that? Are you alright?

(Coming from someone who has several rounds of chemotherapy. Top tip: good oral hygiene, Vaseline and fluids help.)

Gooooopy gooooop

It was dry spit and phlegm on his lips.

It was fucking rank.

Any better?

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. TMI! 😖

Don’t worry, he’s toddled off to bed (hopefully with a glass of water and a chapstick for his medically dry stringy mouth).

He’s had a hell of an evening at the derailing/mansplaining coalface, but he’s given it a good crack, god bless him, still managing to tell off all the women whilst bent double under the weight of his own sanctimony.

Sleep tight, sweet prince.

😂

What the fuck is wrong with “Shuggles”? Well weird responses & probably on the wrong thread?

@VodkaCola You are taking a post on a jokey thread way too seriously.

Not at all. If you had severe eczema on your face or psoriasis, and some man made a comment about it on an online forum, would you be comfortable with that?

And women are allowed to not date a man for any reason they choose.

Literally what I just said then?

I had loads of chemo last year. Spent ages in the chemo reception and on the wards etc etc

Nobody sat around with their mouth looking like that even if chemo did cause it.

Ridiculing medical issues on an online forum. Lovely.

There’s a guy on Instagram who takes real OLD DMs and turns them into songs. I’ve lost a good long while laughing (whilst also despairing at the horrendous attitude of some of these men). His name is lewky or something similar. Well worth a look!

lewky_ Luke Holloway on Instagram. Very funny 😄

WanderingDreamingSpires · 03/02/2025 22:47

I was chatting to a guy online when he rang me out of the blue. Despite being taken aback and borderline horrified I answered. We had the dullest little chat and it transpired that he was off to Torture Garden later and would I like to come. He kindly offered to send me a picture of him in his outfit, complete with fake tattoo sleeve. I came off the apps for several years then met my husband first time when I went back on them... I took it an a sign that the universe thought I'd kissed enough frogs!

RainbowColouredRainbows · 03/02/2025 22:46

I met a guy on tinder. Had a few dates, things seemed to be going well but then he randomly texted saying he was no longer interested. No worries, wished him well and deleted his number. Then about 8 weeks later, he text me saying he had been dating another man and had a fantasy of me joining them and was I interested in his boyfriend fucking me whilst he watched. Urm, that would be a hard pass. I blocked him. About a year later my friend matched with him and he had a newborn at that point.

We need a sub Topic where the mods can divert some of these posts, maybe call RowInAnEmptyRoom, and leave the rest to enjoy some of the gruesome stories!

BornSandyDevotional · 03/02/2025 22:45

Met with a guy for a casual beer. His entire conversation piece was how his dad used to be in a fairly famous band. I tried to extricate myself graciously. He said: "Well. I would take you back to mine and f**k your brains out. But your lack of appreciation for my dad's music makes me limp." I left quickly and he followed me down the road. I went to a nearby pub, met a really nice bloke and spent four years with him happily. Now married to an absolute joy of a human. Met on Tinder. Together 8yrs. Married for 5. Plenty more disaster stories. You have to match with a lot of frogs in OLD. But you don't have to kiss them!

Adropintheocean1 · 03/02/2025 22:45

First date told me he had chlamydia but it’s fine he’s sorted it out now. When he asked to go out again I said sorry, the chlamydia thing was inappropriate and I’m not interested. Of course got the ‘it was just a joke, you obviously can’t take a joke’ spiel. It definitely was not a joke!

Hello. Sorry to be a bother but this comment is very upsetting to read.

They are a man. As some posters have said, they're a man coming onto a thread on a woman's message forum, telling them all how 'wrong' they are, and chastising them for it. Some men do love to do that. Wink

InWithThePlums · 03/02/2025 22:41

Was heading to a club with a chap who I’d been flirting with. As we were going down some steps, he informed me that he’d once had a pissing competition on them with our mutual friend (furthest distance won). Envy

I think it would be a bit like a Venus flytrap,but without the fly inside!

Reading these, not only has my vulva clamped shut like a Venus flytrap, my pubic hair has sewn itself togaether and fashioned itself into a wee padlock never to be undone.

Christ, men are awful. NAMALT and NotMyNigel etc etc, but so, so many men.

If anything happened to DP, I'm getting rechargeable batteries for a vibrator, an Uber account for lifts, a robot lawnmower for the garden, and hoping for the best without the males of the species.

These are all brilliant

StrawberryWater · 03/02/2025 22:36

Oh I have a few horror stories!

  1. Guy who took me to a coffee shop and kept picking his spots.

  2. I'm from a family of dentists and people who work in that area (if they're not dentists/hygienists then they're dental librarians etc) anyway I told this to my date and he took out his false teeth and asked me how best to care for them. Yeah, I'm the outcast in my family, my degree is in English and even so ewww.

  3. Guy who thought he was going to be the next Ricky Gervais and kept doing bad skits. I don't even like the real Ricky Gervais!

  4. Guy who told me he'd planned the best day ever. I was a bit sceptical but he said he was going to wine and dine me, take me out and treat me. Where did we end up? He took me swimming. To be fair he did buy me a nice non-showy swimming costume in the right size. I politely declined and we had an awkward drink in the little leisure centre café. There was no second date.

  5. Cop who I'd known for a while and who'd spent ages chasing after me. I finally relented and he spent the evening treating me like shit, ignoring me and chatting up the waitress.

That said though I did meet my DH online and we've been together for 15 years now so it can work out!

Worriedmum12345678 · 03/02/2025 22:35

Many years ago I had a first date with a guy who brought with him about 5 of his paintings, which I realised he was trying to sell me. Every 10 mins he'd interrupt the conversation to take one out and ask me what I thought of it.

At the end of the date he asked me if I had a car, I didn't have one at the time. But I told him when I was younger I did drive for a while. He asked me what make of car did I drive, when I told him it was a Fiat he burst out laughing and I never heard from him again. 🤣.

I remember being so shaken that night, I couldn't sleep.

Latenightreader · 03/02/2025 22:28

When I was about 17 I went on a date with someone I met at a youth group. We arranged to go to the cinema on the Saturday evening to see a film which was coming out a couple of days before - fixed this up about a week in advance. On the day we met it transpired that he had seen the film the day before as he had nothing to do, but was happy to see it again - I was really taken aback. He then proceeded to quote along with every single advert and trailer. In the end I said that I hoped he wasn't going to do that for the film and he agreed not to but looked surprised I wasn't impressed.

I saw him on a bus last year - recognised him after 25+ years! He was watching a video on his phone with the sound on full blast, which figures.

I have never been sure if Liar Liar is an awful film, or I saw it in such uncomfortable circumstances that it put me off.

RaveToTheGrave1 · 03/02/2025 22:25

Remembered another one, he's very English but turned up wearing cowboy boots, denim jeans, denim jacket and a really big Texan cowboy hat.
Unfortunately was not taken line dancing like I expected

Yogre · 03/02/2025 22:23

I was set up on a date.

When I arrived at the restaurant I thought I'd hit the jackpot. Tall, handsome, fascinating conversation. A complete gentleman that I was already partially imagining my future children with.

While we were waiting outside for a taxi I dropped my bag and he bent to pick it up for me... and let out a little fart.

I wouldn't have cared that much, bit embarrassing but we all do it. Could have easily laughed it off.

But his final words to me still make me shudder to this very day.

'Ooops, I did a pumpies' complete with a 'cute' head tilt.

Bleugh.
