First dates - guy with 10 DC paying the bill

42 replies

TechnicalSergeantGarp · 29/02/2020 01:01

Did anyone see?

I would always split the bill. The guy came across really well. His date was awful. No offer to pay or split the bill. Then snarky comments about not having dinner money for the DC and to give them beans in toast to mange his budget deficit.

We cheered when he said no to a second date. I hope they bring him back on and he meets someone nice.

His date did not come across well.
Her company was not sparkling.
What a cah.

10 kids? He's no catch, either.

FoamingAtTheUterus · 29/02/2020 01:18

Given she looked like Rose West she certainly wasn't a catch either.

I'd take a bloke with ten kids, 6 of which he's raising on his own over some grubber who doesn't think she should pay her way just because she owns a vagina.

SD1978 · 29/02/2020 01:18

10 kids by how many women? I would be put off by that, regardless of what his financial situation was! (Misses the point)

Interested in this thread?

SD I'm guessing at least 6 of them are to one woman as they live with him. She left for another man when the youngest was a baby.

Can't believe she was putting him down for being a teacher and questioning what he earned. She'd worked at Butlins as an entertainer FFS 😳😳😳 hardly a highly paid rocket scientist.

HeIenaDove · 29/02/2020 01:25

As a child free by choice woman it wouldnt even have got as far as a date if it were me. I would not be interested in a guy with ten kids.

FoamingAtTheUterus · 29/02/2020 01:31

That's fair enough but it still polite to pay half the damn bill. Not sit their mocking him and saying he won't be able to afford to feed his kids for the rest of the weeks.

That's just ridiculous behaviour.

HeIenaDove · 29/02/2020 01:35

I didnt actually see this one but yes i would have paid half.

and then legged it

FoamingAtTheUterus · 29/02/2020 01:38

Imagine a bloke treating a single mum like that.

'well I'm not paying, your kids will just have to go without for the week. Mwah hahaha'.

We'd all be after his balls. 😳😳😳

HeIenaDove · 29/02/2020 01:41

She doesnt sound very nice.

But 10 kids is a LOT And if the relationship was going to go anywhere after their date its a bloody lot to ask a woman to take on. Especially when its still seen as womens work and women do the bulk of it whether the child is biologically theirs or not.

But i guess thats what dating is for To see if you are compatible And also a chance to see if a man really believes in equality by seeing how he splits childcare with ex.

DressingGownofDoom · 29/02/2020 01:42

What's a cah Confused

HeIenaDove · 29/02/2020 01:45

@FoamingAtTheUterus From what ive seen on Twitter it would have been comments about her not being able to keep her legs closed.

WhiteBadger · 29/02/2020 01:46

@helenadove

Tbh do you think anyone would be interested in a bloke with 10 Kids!!

Nduja · 29/02/2020 01:47

We thought it was a rare mismatch by the producers as she likes to go away for weekends etc.

FoamingAtTheUterus · 29/02/2020 01:49

Helena he'd been single for four years. I'm sure he had the jist of parenting and wasn't necessarily after a mother figure. It's a bit patronising to suggest that just because he's male, one that's happily been plodding along for years working and caring for his children full time he'll be on the look out for a woman to offload them onto. 💁🏻‍♀️

The days where women expect men to pay for them are long gone. He told her at the start he had 10 kids. If she was that traumatised she should have left. Not stuffed her face then humiliated him.

Poor sod will make sure he pays at the bar next time.

BritneyPeedOnALadybug · 29/02/2020 01:51

I believe he and his ex wife had ten kids between them as he said he hadn’t been on a date in twenty years. Their youngest child is five and six of them live with him and she left him four years ago which adds up.

BritneyPeedOnALadybug · 29/02/2020 01:52

Sorry I meant they had ten children together not he had ten kids by different women

HeIenaDove · 29/02/2020 02:00

gone. He told her at the start he had 10 kids. If she was that traumatised she should have left

Yes she would have been far less vilified had she done so Hmm

I suggest you pop over to the step parents board and have a read.

BritneyPeedOnALadybug · 29/02/2020 02:04

Does anyone remember this episode? The one guy was SO RUDE and I felt sorry for his date:

WhiteBadger · 29/02/2020 02:15

And he was no bloody catch either was he!! Wow!
Bloke had a lucky escape!

Samtsirch · 29/02/2020 02:16

No wonder Jeremy Kyle is coming back to itv

WhiteBadger · 29/02/2020 02:16

Is he??!?!

WhiteBadger · 29/02/2020 02:19

Oh my fucking god I just googled to see if he was coming back and read about his young producer being found dead. How awful :(

SimonJT · 29/02/2020 07:43

I’ll have to watch this car crash of an episode today. Keegan Hirsts episode is terrible, the guy he’s on a date with couldn’t be more cringe worthy.

FredaFrogspawn · 29/02/2020 07:50

I’d rather date a guy with ten dc who stuck by his 10dc than one who had 1 dc he never bothered seeing.

She was appalling - APPALLING - not to pay her way. A disgusting excuse of a woman.

tigerbear · 29/02/2020 07:56

Ooh, are these new episodes, or old ones?
