For context I have been messaging this person and sometimes I don’t reply quickly due to working or other things and this is what he says. Top message supposed to say ‘at messaging’ I’m guessing..I’m mid twenties and he is mid thirties.

As another poster once said, my fanny would clamp shut so fast you’d hear it go clang

😂

Wow, he seems suave!
I’m envious you bagged him before I could.

Itsnotallaboutyoulikeyouthink · 08/09/2023 10:11

He’s obviously trying to lead you into a sexting convo. “Oh you want to smack my bum” “I do like to be spanked” etc etc and it goes on.

I wouldn’t see anything more in this message than that tbh.

Mellowautumnmists · 08/09/2023 10:12

His mother must be so proud of him. I hope she clamped her legs shut after he popped out 😐

TregunaMekoides · 08/09/2023 10:13

The spelling and grammar alone would make my nethers seal over quicker than Aladdin's cave, never mind the content.

No, it's not outdated. Illiteracy either means dyslexia, which most people don't have, or it's a sign of someone poorly educated. I definitely judge people by their spelling. There are far too many posters who don't know the difference between 'there,' 'they're' and 'their,' amongst other common mistakes.
I don't immediately jump to dyslexia. In this case, wouldn't a dyslexic person write 'smakt' instead of 'smak.' He's as thick as the wall and needs binning.

SkinnyMalinkyLankyLegs · 08/09/2023 10:16

I'd think he was an illiterate thicko and back right off.

Mimmy352 · 08/09/2023 10:16

My whole body just seized at the amount of cringe

Major ick. I’d have expected him to be 16, not in his 30s

TottenhamGirl · 08/09/2023 10:17

Maybe you should ask for his number and go out with him.

Cotonsugar · 08/09/2023 10:17

Yuk, no thanks, bye bye

Loubelle70 · 08/09/2023 10:18

Oh stop!! This is nothing to do with being dyslexic or having a disability, whether he put i wan smak bummy because .. or i want to smack your bum.... because..it reads the same, that hes controlling already because she didn't jump to his vip text regime. But the infantile speak is a no from me. Its horses for courses.

amlie8 · 08/09/2023 10:21

Absolute halfwit. If true.

I struggle to believe that many of the threads I read on here are real. All too often, they disappear and are replaced by a notice from MN staff saying previously banned poster or whatever.

In this case, I can't really believe that a woman seriously needs to seek opinions on some illiterate dimwit's text messages.

ManateeFair · 08/09/2023 10:22

He's a) thick as pigshit and b) an over-entitled prick. Avoid.

RantyAnty · 08/09/2023 10:28

Why?

MzHz · 08/09/2023 10:34

HeddaGarbled · 08/09/2023 01:35

Can’t spell, chases women 10 years younger than himself. Such a catch.

And probably married.

it’d be a hard no, just for the the writing

Snazzysausage · 08/09/2023 10:35

I'd have to screenshot it,correct in red all the grammatical mistakes, label it "you must concentrate more in class - 2/10" and send it to him. I'm very good at being petty when necessary.

WisherWood · 08/09/2023 10:36

I'm not sure which I find more annoying, the SPAG or the attempts at coercive control.

Goldbar31 · 08/09/2023 10:40

Ewwwwwww

Weefreetiffany · 08/09/2023 10:41

Lol op hasn’t come back, maybe it was a reverse?

bungaloid · 08/09/2023 10:42

Simple shit muncher

leli · 08/09/2023 10:42

Ugh! I would block immediately. Unless you like illiterates.

Well you might read that text as bright and breezy, but I read it as controlling and a massive red flag. I'd not take that.

MsRosley · 08/09/2023 10:59

Catsmere · 08/09/2023 01:18

I'd think it was an illiterate troll/scammer/sexual harasser and block it immediately.

Yeah, I'd be more offended by the spelling and grammar than the playground level attempt at humour.
