About shagging a funeral director?

[6079SmithW]

Online dating and I'm matched with a really nice man. I find him attractive, conversation is good, it's all going well ... until I find out that he is a funeral director
I had to stop then. He touches dead people all day!
I know some people must shag funeral directors (unless they are all consequentially celibate??) but I don't think I could bring myself to go near one with a barge pole! AIBU?

Yes

YANBU I couldn't date one either!

Lets face it he won't ever be out of work.

So you wouldn't date a nurse or forensic pathologist either then?

Both of whome perform offices for the dead.

I'm sure he doesn't wear gloves and doesn't wash his hands etc

How would you feel about a chef handling raw meat all day?

Having said that I do actually see where you're coming from!

Yes

whom!

If he's quite high up in his firm, presumably other people get up close and personal with the dead? Go for it.

Gosh. I imagine he won't want to date someone with such a low IQ.

To clarify I didn't mean you should shag him if you dont want to but i find it odd the reason why

He won't be touching them if he's an actual funeral director.

Oh and I forgot - yes, YABU

What?! Presumably he washes his hands, I wouldn't have a problem with a funeral director any more than with a butcher or a fisherman. Plus isn't it embalmers who have more contact with the actual corpse, a funeral director is more about the actual organising of a funeral than the bodily fluids I'd have thought...

I'd do a funeral director OP, but then I'm not delicate

Yes. I've known two lovely men who where funeral directors, they are by nature, compassionate and kind and honest. They deal with people at their most vulnerable. How shallow.

It is always ok and 'allowed' to stop dating someone or refuse to continue dating them for whatever reason. Because he might tuck his trousers into his socks or because he uses a spoon to drink tea or whatever. You don't owe someone a 'date.'

It might however be a loss to you because he could have been a perfect match but that doesn't matter. It's always your prerogative.

Yes totally being unreasonable. Grow up.

Wouldn't bother me at all

My mate empties septic tanks for a living.

Another spends her days with her arm up cows' arses.

Not everyone works in a clean, tidy job. If no one did their jobs we would have shit-to-eyes and no milk.

YABU.

Wouldn't bother me. But then I'm a HCP.
Most of the funeral directors have been compassionate, thoughtful men. Also the ones who ran a family business were usually minted.

Got to be better than dating a gynaecologist?

Lots of professions deal with dead people.

What about doctors or nurses who touch sick people all day, or people who work in a morgue, or pathologists?

If he's a funeral director then he will be running the business side of things and not physically touching dead people. If it's his business he's likely to be financially solvent.....never a bad thing.

I know one very well - he and his wife are awesome. Go for it.

Wouldn't bother me. I am sure he wears gloves.

Don't got near a police officer for gods sake. All the vomit, faeces, blood, urine, drugs, road dirt, broken glass etc they deal with on a regular basis? Urg.

YABU.
