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.

Cue the ‘oh but you’re too vanilla’ brigade. Maybe he is warning you he is into spanking/schoolgirl fantasies….

RUUUN!

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

Snap.

Blorp 🤮

CClaire · 09/09/2023 20:33

He’s as thick as mince and seems very young for his age too 🤢

Bleurgh

justwatchingtelly · 09/09/2023 20:38

Instant turn off. I would block.

Rnh · 09/09/2023 20:41

😂

VerbenaGirl · 09/09/2023 20:45

It makes me feel uncomfortable and I’d be inclined to explain that to him and see what reaction I got. The OP will have much more context to judge this within.

He's a semi-literate frog and he will not turn into a Prince so there's no point kissing him.

And even if he does turn into a prince, he'll still be semi-literate 🤣😂

honeyrider · 09/09/2023 20:18

I agree with this. Major ick.

Did you mean smaks? 😂🤣😂

VeridicalVagabond · 09/09/2023 20:56

Can't imagine why no women his own age aren't interested, with such exquisite conversational skills you'd think they'd be lining up for him.

Frenchix · 09/09/2023 20:58

Is it possible English is not his first language perhaps

CoffeeWithMyOxygen · 09/09/2023 21:07

The use of “lol xx” by a grown ass man would be it for me.

squashynose · 09/09/2023 21:07

This could have been written by my ex (and could possibly have been) 😂 ruuuun

Squaffle · 09/09/2023 21:09

Instant ick of the highest order. I wish I could bleach my eyeballs after reading that.

BrightGreenMoonBuggy · 09/09/2023 21:15

Sounds very keen and flirty. However, with the context of the other messages I’m getting a strong needy vibe. He’s trying to tell you that he wants faster responses in a playful way (I am not getting abuser vibes from the smacked bum comment) but it comes across as him being quite lonely and bored and needing you to solve that for him, which I’d find off-putting.

Frenchix · 09/09/2023 20:58

I very much doubt it. People who have English as a second language tend to be more grammatically correct than native speakers. He's just thick.

Rubiconmango · 09/09/2023 21:45

That is not a mid thirties man. That's a pedo I'd suspect! Smacked bottom? 35 year old men don't use that weird expression. It's also a major red flag that he's trying to get with someone in her mid 20s. There are many amazing women his age I'm sure, but he won't meet the mark past the first message. If you entertain him, you'll be writing a post in a few months/years on his abusive controlling ways. Having said that, why are you involved with an older man when you're in your prime? He's a no no, but your involvement with him also begs the question of why?

hot2trotter · 09/09/2023 21:49

The fact he's illiterate would immediately give me the ick. Regardless of the content (which is equally awful).

Wheresmemum · 09/09/2023 21:50

I don't understand why some people on here are excusing this man's suggestive creepy messages by saying he may have special needs/unable to spell etc. Whether he has or not, he still must be aware of what a creepy suggestive message is "you need a smack on the bum" etc does not in any shape or form suggest he's got special needs. Please stop making excuses for inappropriate behaviour towards women, it's not okay.

Abc1979 · 09/09/2023 22:04

Dear Lord, his spelling is terrible.
Let this go. BLOCK!

ErniesGhostlyGoldTops · 09/09/2023 22:08

I'd lose my last meal over a tiny proportion of this caper.

reesewithoutaspoon · 09/09/2023 22:10

The spelling, the 'reprimanding' you for not being available to respond. the grubby jokes, the over-familiarity, the testing the waters for a hookup.
Nah this is a no from me too.

PlipPlopChoo · 09/09/2023 22:27

I would be more pissed off with the top comment personally. I have rarely been one to reply to messages as soon as they arrive.

Pupinski · 09/09/2023 22:32

Obviously block him. On the basis of his spelling if nothing else.
