I've covered his face and other little bit up so its safe to post here. Seriously what goes through guys minds when they send photos like this?!

Its like being flashed

Oh god I spoke too soon. Ew

lucjam · 01/04/2015 09:28

Ugh grim. Even worse we appear to share the same birthday however he is many many years older than me. Blurgh.

suzannecallmestan · 01/04/2015 09:32

boobs?
he thinks they are 'pecs'

Stratter5 · 01/04/2015 09:37

Oh dear.

Is that a handprint on his left leg, or does the hair grow funny?

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 01/04/2015 09:46

Well it got our attention. Sadly I'm happily married, so someone else's have to date him.

suzannecallmestan · 01/04/2015 09:52

Bit too much central adiposity for my liking

DancingDays · 01/04/2015 09:56

I want to know who the hell took the photo?

Him "Yeah mate, I'm on this dating site but I need a picture"
Mate "I'll do it for you"
Him "brilliant, bring a tub of white paint to the caravan. I'll just go and shave my balls"
Mate "no problem just remember the paint brush so you can dab yourself"

suzannecallmestan · 01/04/2015 10:00

he had a tripod and took it himself, surely?

Pipbin · 01/04/2015 13:05

If he know how many MN women were staring at this picture I bed he'd be quite proud.

bumbleymummy · 01/04/2015 13:07

Grin at 'Central adiposity'

DH has a bald patch on his leg from aways having his wallet in his pocket.

I was going to say 'I think that's my awful ex', especially when 'Egyptian shit' was mentioned, but the purple blob would have had to be bigger.

To paraphrase one of those Relationships cathcphrases, 'When a man shows you who he is in a truly disgusting photograph, believe him.

UghReally · 01/04/2015 13:18

Only on MN.
This is the third thing DP has questioned me about (I use his laptop so it comes up in his recents tab).
Just....why

Gileswithachainsaw · 01/04/2015 13:20

Someone here has to know him .

mind you it might be a revenge pic and not set up by him at all

MaryWestmacott · 01/04/2015 13:28

Bless him, he obviously thought, "I've got to have a photo that really grabs the attention of lovely ladies" and this was what he came up with.

Sometimes, it's really easy to see why some people haven't found "the one" yet...

ThroughThickandThin · 01/04/2015 13:35

Ugh, grim. Thank God I'm not on the dating scene.

IKnowRight · 01/04/2015 13:47

I am jealous

His breasts are far firmer and more pert than mine are.

^^envy or vomit. you decide.

CanadianJohn · 01/04/2015 14:28

The date is V.IV.MCMLIX, and the 5th of April 1959 was a Sunday, so I'm guessing that is his date of birth.

He's probably in better shape than me, but in my defense I'm a few years older, and my moobs are bigger.

Lyinginwait888 · 01/04/2015 14:37

Now... having studied this for a while...

I'm thinking that the heater in the background indicates he's there for the long haul. Bye hasn't actually just turned up and chanced a quick phot shoot. Not no sireee he's taking this job seriously

Or maybe the heater got too hot so he had to strip off?

So many innocent explanations, but as usual you nest of vipers just can't help mocking Angry

suzannecallmestan · 01/04/2015 14:43

it's so utterly un erotic
is he painting avec or sans errection?

sugar21 · 01/04/2015 14:44

Aiden Turner he is not. Having said that if the gorgeous Aiden wanted to paint my inner walls he would be more than welcome Grin Wink

jonicomelately · 01/04/2015 14:46

Funniest thread I've read for ages

suzannecallmestan · 01/04/2015 14:47

he hasnt covered the upholstery on the seats behind him, I think that suggests a slapdash attitude?

Someone's gotta recognize something in that pic....you may have left out his face OP but his tattoo is visible.

The police don't call 'em 'distinguishing features' for nothing you knowWink

thatsthewayitgoes · 01/04/2015 14:52

How do I see the picture on iPhone? Intrigued beyond belief to see this fine specimen...(new to MN sorry)

Owllady · 01/04/2015 15:14

I bet he's the type who has a nicknamed it the Duke of Bedford
