@DumpyVictoria I would love to have a cleaner 🥰

How much longer? 👀👀

@Sardaukar Mine are like that! And one foot is worse than the other. I'd say the left one is 5mm longer and the right one 8mm longer. It's quite noticeable. I'm self-conscious about it. But I looked it up and it's called Morton's toe, and many people have it. It's considered a normal variant of foot shape. But I hate it because I think it makes me look as if I have monkey toes, and also, I always stub that toe. Never stubbed a big toe in my life! 🤣

He accidently stepped on a huge, orange slug whilst wearing sandals (no socks).

Should I show my DD20 this thread to prepare her for relationships?😄

Men should not wear sandals. Ick!

Another one: Used to cry for no reason. And turn moody and ruin dates also for no reason. Twat.

DumpyVictoria · 16/06/2026 05:53

Wore cowboy boots on an early date. In Wimbledon.

DumpyVictoria · 16/06/2026 05:51

He was a young, strong, fit man in his twenties, but he had a cleaner, thanks to his rich parents, and left all his washing-up for her to do. Not attractive - made him seem useless.

Forgot: Same guy, met for a drink in the London suburbs and it was quite a walk back to the Tube along dark, quiet streets. And did he walk me there? Like hell he did.

Also same guy: I told him that we'd got a bit hot and heavy quickly on an early date and I wanted to put the brakes on. Never heard from him again.

Posh twat. He was v. good-looking too. I suppose he wasn't used to women not flinging themselves at him.

Horrible ex-husband would say in a breathy romance-novel voice, "Come to bed with your husband." 🤢 Made me feel as if I should be lying back and thinking of England.

Smelly breath.

Eggy sleep farts.

Leaving his shavings in the sink.

Clipping his toenails in the kitchen.

The silent treatment.

Lack of oral sex.

All the same husband.

Wore a pale pink T-shirt 🤨

I very nearly walked away from an otherwise perfect man after the first night we spent together, because the tops of his feet were really smooth. I gave myself a good talking to and got over it.

I think men's feet are often in better condition than women's somehow, but I do get how it could have had that effect on you..

Wore a t-shirt in bed with no shorts. He looked like winnie the pooh but with his floppy weiner hanging out the bottom 😩

At a hotel. Past midnight. Trying to be quiet. This had the both of us crying for a good five minutes as we tried not to make any noise. 😂😂😂

CyanMaker · 16/06/2026 00:57

We went to a club where there was a stage for dancing with a mirror behind it. He always made sure he was facing the mirror so he could watch himself dance.

mumofoneAloneandwell · 15/06/2026 15:50

Aww he was probably trying to be sweet

What were the chocolates? Milk tray?

I can picture them being too small for the bag, the whole handover being awkward, you having to lug a gift bag around the entire time 😭😭 yanbu

Milk tray man😅They were Hotel Chocolat with the bag of that logo. Yep had to take the bag with me to the bar we went for a drink. I knew there wouldn't be a second date so all felt a bit awkward with the goodbye with me holding this bag!

@mumofoneAloneandwell The "ick" isn't real. It's just an excuse for committment issues.

If very minor and insignificant details annoy a person, then that person should reconsider whether they are suitable for relationships.

Some of these are not minor!
The point though, is that reasonably minor things can put you off someone immediately; that doesn't mean you can't sustain a relationship with somebody else.

Hummed constantly

My DH thought toenails were supposed to have yellow stuff underneath them 🤢 when we first got together. I sent him for extreme anti-fungal treatment.

I will confess that despite the passing of nearly thirty years, I still have no desire to do anything romantic or sexy involving his feet 😂

TippyTee · 15/06/2026 23:11

Wasn’t a date or the one but a seemingly nice guy turned nasty (I’m married for a long time). He appeared as a friendly, helpful IT guy in the workplace who helped me with my computer. He ended up shouting at me within the hour when I noted an error message had come up. He seemed like a reasonable chap at first and said to reach out if there is any issues when trying to log in as he had tried a few fixes. I hadn’t done anything out of the norm letting him know there was an error.

Most embarrassing is that it all took place in an open office too.

I dread to think what his wife would experience (he had a wedding ring on). If he flipped out over a computer error message who knows what else gets on his nerves!

Userxyd · 15/06/2026 23:09

Wore a full length leather coat 😳🤣🤣🤣

BeMellowAquaSquid · 15/06/2026 22:52

They didn’t put their knife and fork together when they had finished eating then got up and left their chair untucked.

Turned up for date wearing double denim, opened all the way down to reveal a gleaming white vest, gold medalion, and brown wooden healed cowboy boots that sounded like a horse as we walked across the tube station concourse to catch our train. Clip clop, clip clop

That sounds like a fun outfit

That is true. Some cars are built so you cannot DIY. You have to go to a garage that deals with that brand of car. You literally cannot get to the bulb.

Indeed. The whole damn unit of the halogen headlight needed replacing. £2000. I asked why you couldnt just take the lid off, like.in my old 2CV.

ThistleTits · 15/06/2026 22:12

Long nasal hair. He wasn't the one, just a date after mtg in a pub.

Ellemart · 15/06/2026 22:05

1.Ate too slowly.
2.Licked my face in the manner of a dog.
