I see you have the weights in the background to show the haters you lift.

Can anyone think of witty reply to this please. Iam new to on line dating and rubbish at this. It's in response to a picture I sent of myself.. Weights just happened to be in background.

'Theyre my brother's but I'll challenge you to an arm wrestle!'.

I do agree with a pp whatever you say should be authentically you.

So just say what pops into your mind!

I've met many men from the internet who were very funny online but DULL in real life. And met men that were less funny online and much better in real life.

Just be you op. Good luck. You're young enough to be at the enjoying online dating stage of life. Dont stress too much.

Ha ha true.. Although I read a lot of witty stuff on mumsnet. Love the sex toys comment and the fans one too.

omg, I feel old.

Jaxhog · 17/11/2020 12:16

Just say 'you're weighting for a better comment'

@pipnchops

You could say something self deprecating about wanting to move them out of the shot but you couldn't lift them 😂
Oh heavens don't say that!!

"At least I hid the sex toys though"
This.

On the face of it he sounds like a bit of an arse though. Are you sure you like him?

WitchesSpelleas · 17/11/2020 12:24

Next time I'll put a lift in the background and make the haters weight.

borntohula · 17/11/2020 12:35

Imagine coming on MN for advice about a guy you like and expecting something other than negativity. 😆

@Hels69

The haters aren't anyone lol its just a saying. Maybe I should tell you iam 20. It's just the way we speak. Stupid I know.
Draw a pic, lol
GrandUnion · 17/11/2020 12:43

Personally, I'm still trying to unpick the internal logic of his sentence. I get that some online photo of the OP features her brother's weights in the background, and am familiar with the whole 'haterz gonna hate' phenomenon, but I'm not entirely sure why this guy she's been chatting to is envisaging 'haters' viewing her photo and being impressed (frightened? put off? enraged?) by the fact that it looks as though the OP weightlifts? Is this in an OLD context?

'just to let you know im always weighing up my options'

1forAll74 · 17/11/2020 13:20

Tell him that your Granny left them at your house, I say this, as I am 78, and have some weights, I use them to tone my arms up, as don't want flabby arms or bingo wings.!

Eh?

BringMeTea · 17/11/2020 13:46

Oh dear.

EmberElftree · 17/11/2020 13:53

I read that as him trying to be jokey and saying you're strong because you lift which may put off the "haters". It's just an expression.

Just say only weak men hate strong women, son!

Bluesheep8 · 17/11/2020 13:54

I thought haters were jealous/wanted to pull people down...but apparently they don't exist?

Bluesheep8 · 17/11/2020 13:54

JoeBidenIsGreat · 17/11/2020 13:58

"What does that mean?"
Sorry it's not witty, but the remark out of context is impossible to read.
Did they mean to say how much they respect you because you won't take shit off of no one?

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 17/11/2020 14:05

Presumably if you 'lift' then your muscle volume increases and your head gets bigger?

I think that's why hatters need to know.

SummerHouse · 17/11/2020 14:06

"better to show the haters you lift, than show the lifters you hate, right?"

I am 45. This comment might work as it makes no sense to me.
