potential suitor has made his own 2015 calendar with photos of him every month and highly airbrushed posters of him around the house - warning signs right?

So last night I stayed over with someone I have had a few dates with. Saw the house for the first time and nothing unusual (if not a a bit boring) . Anyway he had large blown up photos of him around the house, he's been trying todo a bit of modeling and these were professional photos. They were obviously heavily airbrushed like the cover of a magazine. Also on his bedside table he had made his own 2015 calendar and every month contained a photo of him.

Aibu to think this is warning signs of narcissistic guy best avoided?

ffs that's 600 quid wasted on an anniversary present, then - back to the drawing board for me.

RubyMay82 · 02/06/2015 10:58

I think if you want an informed answer it's only right to show us the calendar...!

Fitness model with a questionable face hahahaha

Is he a bobfoc?
Body of baywatch
Face of crimewatch

Next he'll be wanting boudoir shots of you both Wink

When you say he is a model..is he attempting to get into it or is alreadya model ?

I know some one that does this stuff and he is lovely but the excess tan stuff they use makes him look really odd

pettywitchinlondon · 02/06/2015 11:13

Ha I'm not posting the pics, I could post his Instagram and everyone could make their own mugs and t-shirts. One of the photos was him on holiday, apparently it was amazing but just looked like a fancy new hotel that was surrounded by brown wasteland. Looked like a dull holiday to me, I like culture.

This months photo wasn't that good, he had a really bad fake tan on - it almost looked racist if you know what I mean.

Won't be seeing him again, for breakfast he ate 6 eggs and steak while I had fruit!

Mismatch on so many levels.

I had an ex who kept a photo of just himself, in a nice frame, on his bedside table. I can't believe I was stupid enough not to run there and then.

KatoPotato · 02/06/2015 11:15

Is he Cliff Richard??

More red flags than Lenin at a semaphore convention. has made my day!

Shakey1500 · 02/06/2015 11:18

That's so funny!

HellKitty · 02/06/2015 11:32

I was a chambermaid once and had to clean the rooms after a minor third division football team had stayed. Fake tan is a BITCH to get off toilet seats. Run now.

Nettletheelf · 02/06/2015 11:38

Oh please do a link to his instagram!

Tell him that Mumsnet is full of model agents or something.

I think that his June photo sounds very unimaginative. He should have dressed as a musclebound Druid doing a summer solstice ceremony at Stonehenge. He needs us for inspiration.

Chesntoots · 02/06/2015 11:38

Threads like this are why I love Mumsnet!

Seriously, what are these people thinking?

Nettletheelf · 02/06/2015 11:42

Just thought, the Druid costume involves wearing a sheep's skull mask (I think). Win win!

ItsTricky · 02/06/2015 11:46

Did he have a mirror above his bed?

RubyMay82 · 02/06/2015 14:53

Oh my
What are they fake tanning that it leaves smudges on the loo seat.. Wink

This thread has had me howling in laughter!!

He sounds almost as mad as an ex of mine who one day asked me what my favourite colour was (yellow) and then turned up a few days later dressed head to toe (inclusive of hat, socks and shoes) in fluorescent yellow clothing Hmm

Nettletheelf · 02/06/2015 16:41

Where do you even buy fluorescent yellow shoes?

OP, had he glued photos of himself onto a normal calendar, or had it been produced specially? Like a vanity published calendar, I mean.

KatieScarlettreregged · 02/06/2015 16:50

We got one of these from DH aunt for Christmas. Of us. She had saved photos and assaulted FB to compile 12 months of Scarlett.
It is still in the bag it came in.
One of them has my aged arse in a bikini on holiday. Had no idea I was being photographed. Just my arse. I think that was July. DSIL has one too, I think she buried it in the garden...

This has just made me spurt juice through my nose and onto my monitor... It wasn't pretty but damn I have no regrets. How did you keep a straight face? Or did you fail spectacularly?

Writerwannabe83 · 02/06/2015 16:59

God knows nettle - it was well over ten years ago now and think Chavvy Tracksuit style Grin

I broke up with him a week later when he let himself into the house early one morning, came into my bedroom (I was just waking up) and stripped all his clothes off and stood naked in front of me just looking at me. We were not in a sexual relationship. I asked him what the hell he thought he was doing, he told me he thought he'd wake me up with a nice surprise and I swiftly told him to fuck off Grin Grin

Lucky escape I think!!! Grin

Nettletheelf · 02/06/2015 17:31

Ahahahaha! Very lucky!!

If only he'd worn those yellow y fronts, eh? The story might have been so different.

I have just had to explain why I am laughing so much to my neighbours. They truly empathise with the arse calendar photo.

ilovesooty · 02/06/2015 17:35

Perhaps you could try a date with someone less bizarre next time.
Surely some run of the mill, average people use Internet dating?

Writerwannabe83 · 02/06/2015 18:29

nettle - he also wouldn't select his own meals if we went out for something to eat. He'd look at the waiter and say, "I'll eat whatever she wants me to eat." and would then look back at me and wait for me to order his food Grin

I can't for the life of me think why of why our relationship never got physical.... Grin
