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?

Just don't watch the Neon Demon before hand! two hours of my life I'll never get back and also scarred forever

awww Martin Clunes in www.imdb.com/title/tt0339907/

buy the disc and watch the whole series
William and Mary The lives of William (an undertaker) and Mary (a midwife) cross. They become romantically involved, but what happens for the rest of the series is far less predictable.
Stars: Martin Clunes, Julie Graham,

for what it's worth I wouldn't be able to bring myself to shag a Tory either

YADNBU there OP

Best thread title EVER!!

And YABU btw

He wouldn't be the only one into stiffies.

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest tbh. I think he could do better though.

Bluntness I've been single for about two years notwithstanding a couple of brief dalliances

JAPAB I understand - we lived opposite a cemetery for a number of years when I was a child. I hated it.

Treble28 Playing dead and shagging in a coffin Is that a thing (except for perverts)?

Tomorrowillbe Aw. Play nice

Do you eat meat or wear leather shoes? That means you touch dead animals all day. Is that somehow better?

The funeral director has dodged a bullet.

Has a good job in steady industry, spends his time helping recently bereaved people at what may be the toughest time of their lives...why wouldn't you? I'd say someone in that profession is rather a catch. If you've ever stuffed a chicken you've touched a dead body so can't see a problem.

If he's a lovely person what does it matter? A nurse deals with the messy side of life with living people. It's just a bit unusual and obviously a conversation stopper at a dinner party.

Sorry but this made me laugh

An ex worked in the hospital morgue, at the same hospital where I used to work. It sort of put me off him, which I realise is unreasonable.

I just think its worth asking yourself with these arbitrary rules that don't really go to the content of a man's character whether you are being a bit foolish in cutting out more and more otherwise interesting, pleasant men from being eligible to be with you.

I know there is tremendous dignity and power in telling yourself you have high standards, but if they are arbitrary, then you are just making yourself lonely for no good reason. I am not a Tory, and my husband is/was when we met. He now regrets his decision post Brexit and I love to chide him about it - that is one of the things that creates some pizzazz all these years on.

Your OH doesnt have to be your clone for you to get on well.

Or a proctologist.... or urologist...

Yabu. I think a funeral director would be a caring, respectful, kind person. You are missing out.

I could never shag a Tory. That would would make me squeamish.

My DP of 9 years is a funeral conductor he touches dead people and everything. He is funny caring loyal and even washes his hands 😃

Speaking as someone who works in the trade I can assure you the dead cause no harm, it's the living you need to watch your back for.

There are many people involved in the chain when it comes to caring for the deceased and you are very much entitled to not date any of them if you so choose and you don't have to justify yourself to anyone.

In my experience however I would say that people in the funeral industry are by far the kindest, friendliest, warmest, honest and most respectful people I have ever worked beside, not to mention pretty damn hilarious.

yabu.
i have to touch dead people quite often in my job, people die. its a fact.
im lovely i am.

I don't think anyone should be encouraging the OP to shag this man

would YOU want to be shagged by someone who felt repulsed by you? I wouldn't

She should 100% walk away for both their sakes, there is no point in "Selling" dating a funeral director to her

Not a problem, unless she brings work home with him.

I would think he sounds like a good catch.

I would happily bang a funeral director
A hot undertaker
And a Ghostbuster
But not a Tory voter
Or Derek Acorah.

what's the problem? He'll always have a stiffy ;)

Unless you're vegetarian, you eat dead things though? Surely that's worse?
