To think he is too good to be true

58 replies

Confused009 · 31/07/2017 00:24

New man I've been dating for a while seems too good to be true. Now I know this might be a liitle snobbish but his attributes are...

Funny, generous, impeccable manors... very much English gentleman
Consultant doctor
Good age (5 years older)
Owns own home
Good family
Privileged upper middle class background
Very good looking and tall
Dresses well, smells lovely
All his own teeth Grin

He is too good to be true... why is he single!

Maybe he was concentrating on his career?!

absolutelynot · 31/07/2017 00:26

his job may play a large role in his singledom.....or wierd sex fetishes. one or the other.

either way, enjoy! good on you!

steff13 · 31/07/2017 00:27

Has he had any long-term relationships?

ijustwannadance · 31/07/2017 00:30

Micro penis? Grin

RedBullBlood · 31/07/2017 00:34

Impeccable manors? He owns multiple posh properties?

JessieMcJessie · 31/07/2017 00:34

How old is he?
Do you know anything about his past relationships?
Possibly he was working very hard in his very demanding job and either an LTR failed because of this or he never had time to get into a relationship.
Possibly he is very picky.

Maybe he's bad in bed...can you comment yet? 😉
Hope it works out!

Katinkka · 31/07/2017 00:35

Lol @ micro penis

LaurieFairyCake · 31/07/2017 00:45

Well obviously cos he's going to want to wear a nappy and call you Nanny while sucking his thumb and tugging franticallly at his todger through the side of the nappy just before he shits himself.

There's a picture you won't get out your head for a while

work here is done Grin

jumpinguphigh2 · 31/07/2017 00:55

LaurieFairyCake has it. It's obvious when you think about it.

Ceto · 31/07/2017 00:59

If he owns lots of manors, particularly if they're in impeccable condition with no major maintenance and repairs needed, snap him up!

HopeClearwater · 31/07/2017 00:59

A&E consultant - that'll be the explanation Grin

AquaAquaAqua · 31/07/2017 01:22

Well, how about I date him for a while & let you know? after we get married

😂

nocoolnamesleft · 31/07/2017 01:46

What speciality? (Inaccurate stereotypes alert)

A&E - too busy being an adrenaline junky
Surgeon - too busy acting like god
Neurosurgeon - too busy being god
Orthopod - too busy playing with power tools (but probably loaded)
Anaesthetist - passes too much gas
O&G - spends too much work time furtling with fannies, so gone off sex
Paeds - too busy trying to save the world
Radiology - been hiding in a dark room
Pathology - too busy talking to dead people

You'd notice most of these include the words "too busy". The main draw back, if he's truly always been single, is likely to have no concept of work life balance. The job will always come first.

CoI: single consultant.

oldlaundbooth · 31/07/2017 01:48

He's online, right?

oldlaundbooth · 31/07/2017 01:48

I want an impeccable manor too

ReanimatedSGB · 31/07/2017 01:58

Well, you've been dating him for a while, so presumably you know that he looks like the photo he posted on OK cupid or whatever.
How old is five years older than you? If he's 35 or under, and a doctor, he will have spent a lot of years being far too shattered to think about dating. Or he may have had serious-ish relationships with women who got fed up of the long hours and inability to just take a day off to go to a party with them or whatever.

More important - is he nice to you? Does he make you feel happy? Is he generally nice to other people?

MrsCrabbyTree · 31/07/2017 03:52

He sounds perfect ..... but does he like cats? (or dogs for that matter). You will need several pets so those 'manors' feel like home, but maybe that's just me.

There are some really nice males like you described out there and he might just be one of them. Good luck :)

TooGood2BeFalse · 31/07/2017 04:17

nocoolnamesleft Fantastic

PeachPearPotato · 31/07/2017 04:28

I would be exceptionally worried about those manors actually. Does he have staff or is he just looking for someone to keep them impeccable for him?

eatabagofdicks · 31/07/2017 04:28

I'm voting for micro penis Grin

Do come back and let us know if we're wrong and he's hung like a horse

duracellred · 31/07/2017 04:31

Made my day this thread through utter laughter (not you OP but some of the comments).

I reckon he is a Urologist :-)

user1497557435 · 31/07/2017 05:22

Any evidence of all of these attributes?
If not - he's a pathological liar.

user1497557435 · 31/07/2017 05:23

Have got met any of his friends? If not that's a big indication he's pathological.

Tootsiepops · 31/07/2017 05:58

It can happen. A lovely, lovely guy I went to school with is still single and we're in our late 30s now. He's a surgeon and has been concentrating on his work. He's a total gem and aside from working all hours, he'll make a great partner / husband when he meets the right person.
