So I've been seeing a bloke , was set up through a friend (it's her brother)
Couple of dates, good so far. Tonight the plan was for me to drop in on him , pick him up for a dog walk (I'm dog sitting at mo)
I get there, he invites me in, the house STINKS. The curtains are shut, but it's not messy or anything. It must have shown on my face (it was very strong) He then said the romantic words all women want to hear "I just love sitting at home farting"
I thought he was joking, he wasn't. Because I thought that was grim, I am a stuck up batch apparently.

She'll ask!

You don’t need to give her all the details!!
Just say it wasn’t working, the rest of it is none of her business!!

I wouldn’t tell a good friend that her brother was a smelly / filthy pig

Well, at least he gave you a warning. Blokes like him should be painted with yellow and black stripes if you ask me. Or, at least made to wear a jumper in those colours. Warn people about the presence of potential danger.

Mine (of 35 years) drops the tiny silent toxic ones and denies the odour is shit. "What! I can't smell nothin" All with a look of pure innocence on his bloody face. We don't even have a dog to blame it on. He even claimed the neighbours must be laundering dirty nappies once or twice.

The eventual smirk always gives it away though.

Why the fuck do they think making someone wretch is funny, I'm sure I will never know.

Fortunately, it's quite rare and he doesn't treat it as a hobby...nor an achievement.

So grim… sounds like he has a fetish for the smell of his own colon.

Don’t bother saying anything to her, it hasn’t really got anything to do with her really

Ok. Noted. If a man farts in his own home and I'm not overly bothered by that : it means my standards are incredibly low. Ok, thanks, got you. I think I'll just stick to LTB when he calls me a "stuck up bitch "

If he does and doesn't open windows to clear the air because he knows someone is coming over then he's extremely rude

Not in the slightest neurotic. It was honking in there and obvious that it was. I didn't immediately bring it up

Did you find out if they were fresh farts or old stale ones? 😂😂

His sister is not like this at all. I highly doubt its a family thing

You have no idea what goes on behind closed doors OP. Closed curtains, however …

I hope your sense of smell hasn’t been damaged for life, and your poor dog doesn’t end up on a ventilator.

Okay confession time, im farting reading this. But… I have the curtains open 😳

My curtains are shut but I’m NOT farting and neither is my husband. 😂

babystarsandmoon · 05/05/2025 22:24

Ick! No wonder he needed his sister to set him up.

LuckyPeonies · 05/05/2025 22:22

Grim! 🤢 Reminds me of the farting sister situation in ‘like water for chocolate’, with everyone waving incense about. Except she was ill & thus had an excuse. 🤣

In my experience men call women stuck up bitches when they know they are out of their league.

Ugh. Smelly, misogynistic pig. Discard!

Addictedtopretzels · 05/05/2025 22:09

At least he didn’t blame your dog!

BlondiePortz · 05/05/2025 22:07

OK so just move on

PeachBlossom1234 · 05/05/2025 22:04

Similar scenario but I was a stuck up bitch because I have bottled water. I’m staying single….

bramblefoot · 05/05/2025 22:00

How pathetic and utterly unappealing OP, at aged 40 as well, dire.

Obviously you know you are not a stuck up bitch but must also know this is a lucky escape on a number of counts. I'd be so genuinely disappointed and angry if I'd heard my brother had spoken to a woman like this in those circumstances, it reflects so poorly on him in so many ways.

Except if she is setting him up with her friends, she is bound to ask how it's going. Saying he isn't my type may prompt further questions. Might as well cut to the chase and say he was rude and that his personal habits appear a little unusual. She should know who she is trying to palm off onto her pals.

WearyAuldWumman · 05/05/2025 21:55

Honestly, it reminds me of my teaching days. You'd get teenage boys letting one rip and then intoning "Wherever ye may be, let the wind blow free!" Obviously something they'd learned from a father figure.

At one point, I dealt with it by saying "Now we know where they hid the weapons of mass destruction."

Believe it or not, that was enough to stop it.

Sometimes, I didn't have to say anything: there would be a pained response from a classmate which would be even more effective than anything an adult might say.

A man in his 40s boasting about it? You did right to throw the whole man away.

HappiestSleeping · 05/05/2025 21:54

And they say romance is dead.

This ranks right up there with 'shall we go to McDonald's for dinner?'

Dogpawsandcatwhiskers · 05/05/2025 21:54

Does he not realise why he's single? 🤣
