Hmmm to be concerned about my friend going on this blind date

[BrevilleTron]

Ok bear with me.

My best friend (A) 23. Mother of 1 DS (4) currently single. Reasonable relationship with ExP.
Lives alone ( her, DS and cat)

Her Friend (B) 24. Mother of 1 DD (2)
Awful relationship with abusive emotional fuckwit who is not her DD's dad. Has had help to leave many times keeps going back etc exposing her DD to all kinds.

A is currently being pressured by B to go on a 'blind date' with a relative of her awful partner.
A photo has been sent ( of him) to A I've seen it. Not so much hit with ugly stick- more parachuted into ugly forest hit every branch on way down

AIBU to think this is RED FLAG central and that B seems to want to entice A to end up in the same awful kind of relationship that B is currently in in order to provide B with a constant shoulder to whinge on

I'm concerned that this relative may not be ideal but should she go on the date or dismiss it?
Fully prepared to be told AIBU

No, OP, if he actually did two years inside, his sentence was considerably longer in Court. There's something like an automatic third off, so to do 2 means his sentance was at least three; and that's into causing death territory.

[OldLadyKnowsNothing]

And if he's dismissing it as "driving offences" it doesn't sound as if he's very remorseful or ashamed of his behaviour...

[DameFanny]

Nope, most likely death going by that tariff, as the chances are he would have only served half his sentence

[toomuchmonthatendofthemoney]

I wouldn't go.

Plenty more non ugly, non prison, non dodgy rellies fish in the sea and all that ..... Why bother with all the angst?

No way would I go on a date with a guy that had been in prison for any amount of time, especially if I had DC to consider.

Maybe your friend can try online dating if she wants blind dates :)

[cheesenpickle]

if he had spent 2 years in prison his sentence was actually 4 yrs. i suspect hes been convicted of other serious offences alongside the driving offences. if it is death by dangerous driving i stay well away, what kind of person who has committed that type of offence then says im a kind hearted guy really. if fact there are alarm bells ringing for me anyway as i think at best hes been economical with the truth ,at worst hes lying . i work in probation so my bullshit radar is finely tuned!

Why do people think it's acceptable to take the piss out of someone's 'ugliness'?

You wouldn't laugh about someone being Asian, or black, in a wheelchair, or having lost an arm, would you?

Bitches.

[honeytea]

Shellyboobs OP did say that he looked lots like her friends DP who she hates and that could be making her think he is ugly because he looks like someone she hates.

[WorraLiberty]

How can you compare being ugly to someone being Asian, or black, in a wheelchair, or having lost an arm?

[BrevilleTron]

Shelly it was personal opinion. I'm sure people take the piss out of me if they think I'm ugly. I don't care! We haven't texted him saying 'we are laughing at you being ugly'
And no if someone was black or in a wheelchair I wouldn't laugh at them for that? Why would anyone?
Attractiveness is subjective skin colour or disabilities don't come in to it.

So how does that make us bitches?
