To think this is an odd thing for guy I'm seeing to say?

I have been dating a man I met online for 6 weeks, all going well, I really like him and from what he says and does he feels the same. But last night we had sex and were lying in bed talking and he had his arms round me and I looked at him and he said, 'I can just see the hormones being released in your brain'. I laughed and was like 'what?' And he said, 'women release hormones when they're falling in love and I can see it happening to you right now' Confused

AIBU to think this was a very odd thing to say?

Wow, I didn't know they came with zippers on.

Mine's got velcro. It's very handy.

OP, why are you having sex with him when you have only known him for six weeks?

Why not? Now she's had sex with him, she's found out he's either an arrogant knob, or has a very odd sense of humour. Sex is fun, it doesn't have to be lifelong connection.

I don't think anyone should be judged too harshly on the standard of their post-coital remarks. I'm sure lots of people would squirm if you recorded what they had to say at such moments and played it back to them later.

It’s a ridiculous thing to say but it is probably true. There’s research that shows when women are intimate the hormones they release lead to attachment/falling in love.

I think he read something about it on the internet and oops, out it popped. I wouldn’t know where to look. Not at him any more, obviously.

Ewwww 🤮🤮🤮

Arrogent fucker has read some womens magazine about the release of the 'love hormone' (forgot what its called) after sex and thinks it makes him an expert on womens physiology. Arse

FlatteredFool · 08/09/2021 21:09

Now there's an idea for a thread: "Tell me your most cringeable, funny or embarrassing post-coital comments or events"

Its been a good while but I used to be incapable of speech for a while. @takemetoyourhouse at least he didn't instantly fall asleep I suppose! Seriously though, cocky bastard.

Is it oxytocin?

Maybe he had read this article

KellyanneConway · 08/09/2021 21:12

@Larkstar He sounds like the kind of dick that believes in all the art of seduction, Pickup Artist BS. Eugh. Has he told you he thinks you "have a connection"? He sounds like a pratt.

Exactly my first thoughts

SleepingStandingUp · 08/09/2021 21:12

How good was the sex @takemetoyourhouse?

PODSNAPPERER · 08/09/2021 21:16

He is another reason I'm a lesbian.

HailAdrian · 08/09/2021 21:18

Oh for fuck's sake, some of these replies are even more embarrassing.

😆

"I can hear the bullshit being released from your mouth"

Famousinlove · 08/09/2021 21:24

And then you go and spoil it all by saying something stupid like 'women release hormones when they're falling in love and I can see it happening to you right now'

CambsAlways · 08/09/2021 21:24

That would certainly put me off

seeingdouble2 · 08/09/2021 21:25

I'm lost for words 😂 😂 😂 😂

Weonlyhavealoanofit · 08/09/2021 21:32

You need to get out more. He’s a knob and it’s just a stupid line, he’s probably used it a hundred times.

OneMoreStitch · 08/09/2021 21:33

Ugh, gross! I would've given a short scoffing laugh and warned him not to be so eager to flatter himself!

How egotistical!

HollowTalk · 08/09/2021 21:39

I would have said that I'd just been thinking about what to cook for dinner.

Mills & Boon missed out on him.

I would have burst out laughing. I can't help myself in those situations 🤣
