Mine is for referring to the 69 position as 'summer of 69ing' and condoms ss 'rubber johnnies'.

It just made my skin crawl and there was no coming back from that!

One of my exes dumped me because "lets face it, the sex isn't all that"

When he stretched his neck out he looked like a turtle with glasses.

Upatree · 01/02/2015 21:15

I didn't like the decor in his bedroom and couldn't stand the thought of spending any more of my life looking at his wallpaper.

Put an asda carrier bag on his dreads to have a shower!!
Wore generic trainers.
The man was beautiful to look at but I went off him in a heartbeat Confused

It doesn't matter if it is a zombie thread it's still good!

We met in a club, I thought he was beautiful, we arranged to meet the next day.
He turned up...
...With his mate.
...wearing yellow tinted (Bono) glasses
....with a big crusty bogey hanging out of his nose.
Couldn't have got out of there quick enough.

CruCru · 01/02/2015 21:44

Turned up wearing a hairy green suit.

VixxFace · 01/02/2015 21:47

penis too big
penis too small

HippyPottyMouth · 01/02/2015 21:49

He smelled of cabbages and forgot to bring the picnic he'd promised.

OohLaLaa · 01/02/2015 21:56

He used a small blow up pillow on his morning commute to catch up on sleep.

Told me he was going to 'hit the hay'.

Said 'brekkie' for breakfast.

Told me he liked having a boogie '.

All different men. I obviously have wording issues.

Im dying at these. Particularly may I kiss the bride and the chin rest

ILovedYouYesterday · 01/02/2015 21:59

Told me he slept on a futon. It was actually the cushions off an old sofa.

That one really did just make me laugh out loud, Clean Grin

wannabestressfree · 01/02/2015 22:01

Fat earlobes. I kept looking at them.
And his name was jade (sadly I could forgive that more)

Upatree · 01/02/2015 22:06

He wouldn't stop using the expression "cranking it up to the pepsi max."

He kept a sample of his sperm in a petri dish in the fridge.

When I complained there was never any breakfast foods in his house, he "made" me breakfast in bed - three penguin bars arranged around a serviette, surrounded by a circle of ready salted crips. He then proceeded to sulk because I wasn't grateful.

These are all different men. I had great taste in my twenties. Hmm

ghostspirit · 01/02/2015 22:10

he breathed.

cleanmyhouse · 01/02/2015 22:12

Oh. The guy who slept on the "futon"...I forgot to say he was nearly 40 and it was in his mums spare room.

Cantbelievethisishappening · 01/02/2015 22:16

Rested his chin on my shoulder and watched me put on mascara in the mirror

Grin Grin There are just no words

Cantbelievethisishappening · 01/02/2015 22:21

Devoid of all body hair
Large ears
Weird, rounded eyes
Really skinny

Not too dissimilar to one of these in fact

ILovedYouYesterday · 02/02/2015 00:39

Wow, clean he sounds like a catch!

Sn00p4d · 02/02/2015 01:17

*he grew his hair, it was just not a good look

*he stole my clothes, became a gay transvestite and called himself Sophie.

Different guys, varying degrees! Grin

SorchaN · 02/02/2015 01:32

I love this thread! So glad it's been revivified.

I met a guy who, on the second date, spent the best part an hour telling me the plot of his favourite TV show - all six seasons of it. I've never seen this show, and now have no desire (or need) to. I did try to break into the monologue by telling him I liked certain other shows, but he simply nodded and continued. He seemed annoyed when I left and told him I didn't think things would work out between us.

RandomNPC · 02/02/2015 01:42

Just read through the entire thread. So many micropeni! I didn't realise it was quite so common, unless it was all the same bloke and he put it around a lot.
