DTD and found out he had shaved legs and tribal tatoos - run away?

[Margaritapracataz]

I'm dating someone a bit younger than me.

Now found out he has a lot of tribal tatoos on one side. I just don't get them, it shows no creatively or individuality and I do think less of him now.

Once I'd got over that I realised that he shaves his legs. I've never heard of a guy doing this before.

Run a mile or are these normal things these days?

Leg shaving can be a cycling thing, a few guys at the gym I go to do it. To be honest you just don't sound like you're that into him.

Lol. I know it sounds shallow but I'd be a bit too. Tribal tattoos are naff, and why the fuck is he shaving his legs?

The tattoos I'd be indifferent about although I'd assume the tribal tattoos had been done in the 90s. Most people's tattoos date to some degree.

The shaved legs though definitely wouldn't turn me on I have to say. A gentleman caller of mine was once pubeless, it was most alarming!

You seem very shallow.

You sound extremely judgemental OP. Ditch him and leave him to find someone who's interested in him for him, not his outer appearance.

Interesting that it didn't stop you fucking him, though.

Shallow shmallow.

What's wrong with wanting to be attracted to someone's outer appearance?

gentleman caller....spills tea... Brilliant, thank you for making my day!

to the question; I also find tats unattractive so if they put you off, they put you off. They can't be fully removed (even if he wanted to) so you have to learn to live with them - if they don't work for you then tell him and wish him the best.

Well there's no right or wrong answer is there? If you like him, see him again, if you don't, don't.

You liked him enough to get naked with him. Surely what he does with his skin doesn't matter?!

Almost word-for-word what I was thinking, Mileend

Let's flip this and image a similar thread from a man about a woman ~ 'Unshaved legs and her kids' names tattooed on her back: run away?' He'd be crucified.

I'd love to see this thread if it was a bloke wanted to bin the girl he'd been dating because she didnt shave her legs and had a tramp stamp.

But just the usual MN hipocrisy then.

mileend forgive me if I'm wrong but weren't you the person who started a thread recently about ditching someone after a first date because you didn't fancy them?!

I'll go check.....

Oh x-post Tamara

I would't flinch at the shaved legs. Tribal tattoos, however unless they are of his tribe in which case they are to be expected.

Yep. Your thread was called 'To not see this girl again due to her looks?'

I didn't fuck them and then say, 'hhmmm yeah not interested in your appearance actually', though!

Oh right! Completely different then

Er well yeah, it is actually.

If you don't find someones appearance physically attractive and thats a deal breaker for you as it is for the OP - fine whatever. But you don't sleep with them and then fuck them off! Or am I missing something?

This made me laugh "unless they are of his tribe in which case they are to be expected" . Good point!

You sound extremely judgemental OP. Ditch him and leave him to find someone who's interested in him for him, not his outer appearance.

I'm not even going to try to put it better as mileend has nailed my thoughts completely.

But actually yes I admit my initial post on this thread is hypocritical. Perhaps what I should have said is let him find someone who actually finds him attractive rather than someone who finds him repellent and 'thinks less of him' but for some reason shags him anyway.

mile didn't you snog her for half an hour even though you didn't fancy her though? Apologies if I have mixed you up with another poster with no backbone

OP do you like him? If not then don't see him again, if you do then carry on. It's not hard.

mileend but didn't you get a lot of flak on that thread for snogging your date for ages before deciding you didn't find her attractive?

Not all that different from where I'm sitting. Surprised you're so righteously indignant towards the OP.
