Small glass of wine 🍷

a guy I have been dating poured me a glass of wine.
I said to him ‘that glass of wine is small’ - he said
’Well I do not want you to get any fatter’. Smirked. And handed it to me.
I was so shocked I did not say anything.
😞

I have a normal BMI (not that it matters) and I go yoga and gym. He also asked me during our 2nd date ‘How many times do you go to the gym’ - whilst looking me up and down, smirking. I was a bit surprised but I just said 3/4 times per week… I missed a massive red flag there didn’t I. 😔

Bin him off immediately.

I've never met a bloke yet who thinks wine makes you fat.

If you've been seeing him for 20 years, this comment is quite adorable and funny. If you've been seeing him for anything less, get rid.

You have his number, don't fault yourself. I suggest to not send a text, just don't be available for more dates.

Classic example of ‘negging’, which is what creeps do. You could return the favour by saying you’re only attracted to successful men but better just to delete his details.

I just wouldn't reply at all and I would block him. If in the future he sends a message somehow or speaks to you just say that you weren't interested in seeing him because you didn't like him.

Can you clarify, was he a complete love god physically?

CambsAlways · 08/05/2022 23:27

He’s a real charmer ain’t he 🙄

Pixiedust1234 · 08/05/2022 23:39

Do you have to message him? I would wait until he contacts you then just reply with no thank you. Dont give him the satisfaction that he knows you have been thinking about him enough to message.

Enjoy Wine

Urgh.. he sounds charming.
I'd have replied "my aim is not to get fatter, but to get drunker, so that YOU look more attractive. Cheers."🥂

Perfect response and true. Send this.
Vile little shit you're well rid.

What a CUNT, sounds like he is trying to make you insecure because he thinks you are too attractive for him.

This🖕👍A male friend who I realised wanted a relationship with me did similar. I tried to let him down gently but keep some kind of a friendship but when we met up he took to telling me I had fat legs during a carvery once and said stuff like that I should only ever wear my hair down that type of thing, then creepy type stuff meant as a compliment? I'm slim and average looking - he isn't slim or an oil painting so it made it even more outrageous! haha I too was "too stunned to speak" as they say but never raised it but just decided to never ever knowingly give up any of my time or energy on toxic manipulators again. Google "Amy Childs Celebrity Dating Agency. Are you calling me fat". She's absolutely gorgeous and so slim! I am still so confused by the clip and not sure if he meant it but it may make you see how common this stuff is! The other guys reaction's hilarious!

In the immortal words of Joey Tribbiani, he’s just saved himself a couple of months of sex.

Message the incompatible line and then take great pleasure in blocking the loser.

He will be more bothered if you simply delete his contact details. Next time he texts or rings just reply, ‘who is this?’

Also this is a middle ground between taking the high road with someone you may continue to see at work, and the takedown he so richly deserves. I think the latter may leave you vulnerable to retaliation.

This is 1000% begging

D0lphine · 09/05/2022 09:01

*negging
