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.

I wouldn't care about his spellings - but he is being extremely desperate, controlling and creepy

Please block him OP he has super horrible vibes.

FunnysInLaJardin · 08/09/2023 13:12

I would think the person sending it wasn't very bright and would avoid

Chippy4me · 08/09/2023 13:15

Some of these comments are vile.

I’m guessing half of the people on here wouldn’t date anyone with dyslexia, vision problems, mobility problems or English as an additional language.

The fact that some people would still judge someone for any of the above makes me feel embarrassed and ashamed for them.

I think the people making these comments need to take a good hard look at themselves and remember that having perfect spelling and grammar does not make you better than anyone else.

I’d rather be in a relationship with someone illiterate than with someone who is judgemental, prejudice and up their own ass.

Marmalade71 · 08/09/2023 13:17

Shudder

I also agree with others that I'm getting a vibe of someone older than mid 30s.

Idontgiveashitanymore · 08/09/2023 13:17

If you’re into s&m then go for it. If not 🚩

ASCCM · 08/09/2023 13:18

I'd be blocking based on grammar alone, regardless of content!

Rockschooldropout · 08/09/2023 13:20

Instant ick … smack bum? . eww
Plus sounds needy already and the vague attempt at a “naughty” text just makes me want to vom

Oysterbabe · 08/09/2023 13:36

Yeah he's testing the waters for a bit of spanking. 🤢
Toss this one back.

Coldbit · 08/09/2023 13:41

My thoughts would be 1. Asshat and 2. delete 3. block and forget

menopausalbloat · 08/09/2023 13:46

Those messages are giving me the ick.

Why on earth would you feel 'embarassed' or 'ashamed' on behalf of random strangers on the internet?

YouTubeIsYourMotherNow · 08/09/2023 14:00

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt OP and assume you're in this text conversation because there are likeable things about this bloke. I'd think he probably likes you and is nervous. He might be someone who struggles to have serious conversations especially when it requires showing vulnerability. He puts "lol" in to make it seem trivial but he's hurt you take a while to text back. The next line might be a playful way of testing the waters to see how adventurous you are in the bedroom or a very very misplaced joke that he immediately regrets. He probably isn't confident in written communication and is trying his best. It's up to you if that's a big deal or not.

Wonkypumpkin · 08/09/2023 14:03

Run

INeedAnotherName · 08/09/2023 17:56

OP - your update just confirms this guy is a manipulative creep. Block and move on. Remember this is him on his best behaviour 😯

I was just wanting to see if it would put others off which is why I posted.

The messages read mid thirties going on needy fourteen year old.

Better options are available.

I know you're upset about the comments about his literacy, but that aside, do you think he sounds like a good choice?

Exactly. There could be plenty of reasons for the poor spelling, but even if the messages were spelled perfectly, he’d still come across as a self-centred wanker who the OP should block.

I wholeheartedly agree, and that was the gist of my previous post. They've never met and he's talking about being lonely in bed. 🤮

EmpressaurusOfCats · 09/09/2023 11:23

Next step will be dick pics. If he hasn’t sent them already.

@Keyworks
Of course people have to 'judge' the characteristics of a potential partner. Although the correct word is assess. It's literally how you decide if you're compatible or not.

Perhaps Keyworks sends similarly inappropriate messages to people he has never met and feels judged.

But hey, what really matters is that women endlessly accommodate this shit and accept it, just in case a creep sending suggestive messages is upset.

Ok, well if you can't get it, I'll explain it to you. No, it's not OK to send sexually aggressive messages to women you hardly know in order to guilt or scare them into giving you their time.

Do you get it now?
