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.

What would your thoughts be if you received this text message?

Eww that would be an instant block.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 09/09/2023 14:45

He's an illiterate idiot who needs to be the centre of your attention at all times
Potentially controlling.
Block, delete and move on
You're wasting time and energy on this prize catch

I'm afraid life isn't fair and yes many of us who are reasonably intelligent do judge. If I was single and met someone in real life who was great, intelligent , attractive , a nice person, non sleazy and just happened to be dyslexic, it wouldn't put me off but if you haven't met someone you only have the texts to go on and the guy in question here sounds none of the above

Sorry, I can't hear you.

I was on receive when I thought you were speaking about legitimate literacy issues. But then I realised you were just another angry dude screaming into the internet void about why men should be allowed to send sexually aggressive shit to women and women should let them do more of it.

So I shut down. Switch off.

The good thing about the illiterate ones is that we can't understand what you're saying anyway because you're illiterate.

jrc1071 · 09/09/2023 17:38

Exactly this.

Toomuchtrouble4me · 09/09/2023 17:38

I’d think ‘he can’t spell and his grammar is poor. He’s also a twat. Byeeeee.’

jrc1071 · 09/09/2023 17:38

And he’s testing to see if she has any boundaries and if she is able to put up with abuse

.. and you need a smack in the mouth for texting me that. Don’t contact me again

arethereanyleftatall · 09/09/2023 17:45

Right @Keyworks.

What you are completely not getting is that every person gets to choose who to date and what their own boundaries are.

We are allowed to discriminate however much we want when choosing a partner; it's an optional individual choice.

For me, from the texts the op has already posted, I know I would personally not be compatible with, nor attracted to, this man.

I don't want to stick around a few more texts to see if he's got a personality disorder which means he can't express himself. I don't want to date him. Because I don't want to date someone who has a personality disorder and can't express himself. And that's my choice,

What you seem to be suggesting, if you carry your rants forward, is that we need equal opportunities in the dating pool as well as the work place. Which is surely batshit?

Someone needs English lessons and has nothing better to do than to bother people with childish texts.

DrSbaitso · 09/09/2023 17:48

I don't want to stick around a few more texts to see if he's got a personality disorder which means he can't express himself.

That's actually one of the funniest things I've read on here.

"He sent you a disgusting, sexually aggressive message? Well stick around, you never know, he might have a personality disorder. And then you'll really want to take the relationship further!"

JMSA · 09/09/2023 17:49

Icky, both in terms of his grammar, use of lol and the bum smacking comment.
He sounds thick as mince.

Are you for real @Keyworks?!?

You think someone who sends such awful, infantalising, inappropriately sexual, controlling texts to someone ten years his junior who he's never met - should be treated with kindness?

How far do you think women should go to accommodate men with 'personality disorders who can't express themselves' to make sure they're kind? A few more inappropriate messages, then say no? Is that kind? Or do they have to date them too? Sleep with them ti make sure they're being kind?

Julimia · 09/09/2023 17:56

Woludnt bother to.think anything' just block him.

Block him!

MojoDaysxx · 09/09/2023 18:00

It's shows what he'd like to do!
Personally, Id' block.

MasterBeth · 09/09/2023 18:03

You're crap at messaging back! Lol!

I think you need a smacked bum for not messaging! Lol! xx

Nope, it's not the SPAG that's a red flag...

Trez1510 · 08/09/2023 01:38

He's your prince. Nab him quick before someone else does.

😂

Blessedmumof5 · 09/09/2023 18:08

Get rid

HulaChick · 09/09/2023 18:09

If it was demesne who I was considering dating, it would put me off but if just a friend, would just accept it as humour & probably grew up watching Benny Hill etc which, at the time, were actually quite funny!
