AIBU to think it's just bloody awful?

'Hi L! How are you? Sorry I haven't replied , busy few days in the office. Listen, I really enjoyed our time together but I think your caring roles are a different world to mine. It just doesn't seem right for me to, and I thought you needed to know. You ARE beautiful (yes you are!) , but I can't get past this. I needed you to know so you knew why sometimes it won't work , but I'm sure there's a very nice guy out there just for you 😌'

I go from thinking it's cringe, to patronising. To maybe making for of me?!

For context, went on a few dates. Kissed and asked to have sex. I did. I wanted to. Wasn't very good but we move

He's then text this. Whilst I'm on a date with someone else Saturday night Grin

I still haven't deleted the text so me and a few friends can have a laugh.

You can have moral values & self respect without being spiritual. I happen to have faith but I don't equate spiritual people with being the only people who don't sleep around. I find this attitude quite pious. The thought of casual sex for me would be dredful although I also believe it's a choice despite in my opinion a bad choice. This has been proven time & time again by the hurt & insecurity it can cause. As for sex in a mutually loving long term relationship, absolutely brilliant 😁

Thank you Wintersun.. I did not mean to sound judgemental or self righteous if thats what you mean and of course you dont have to be spiritual or have any beliefs at all but as a woman who respects herself, I'm just trying to make OP realise her sexual health and self respect/love above all else is so important. If you dont respect yourself, how could you expect anyone else to respect you - its common knowledge is it not?

For the most part you too disagree with casual sex and for bloody good reasons too! In a world where mental health is a real thing, casual sex only creates hurt as you rightly said - i've seen it too many times with diff people and OP is no exception.

I stand firmly by my words and the truth often does offend and i'm ok with that because nothing beats the truth, as painful as it is for some people.

Me being spiritual and having faith does not make me less likely to sleep around, its nothing to do with faith.. you either have basic morals, principals and values or you dont its really that simple.

Waving her fanny around on 'dating' sites is just asking for guys like the one who txt her that msg and he wont be the last one either if she carries on putting it about which it sounds like she is..

I think deep down OP posted this thread because she is feeling shit because she got bashed and dashed!! Wouldnt have mattered what the txt read she still would have been in her feelings about being dumped. Anyone would! Problem is she put herself in that mess then cried on MN about a rejection text.

Its a no from me and will always be.

totally disagree with your post

EACH. TO. THEIR. OWN.
No one asked you to agree. Find peace

Comedy gold.

Abitofalark · 12/01/2024 19:09

The OP didn't ask for opinions about sex and the thread doesn't require a treatise on morality or a lecture that is a curious mixture of piety and unsavoury relish. I find it distasteful and dislike women repeating the ugly slurs deployed against women, regardless of whether the women repeating it are attacking or defending them.

Well. How the puritanical mask has slipped.

Do put your misogyny away before someone trips over it.

Ah of course. Jesus at play chez @Mumof3PrettyBoys. Nuffsaid. Each to their own I guess.

Ah mumsnet at its finest.

OP: “hey I think this bloke‘s text is a bit ick”

Responses: “you’re just bitter he didn’t want you, and btw you’re going to get AIDS or an outbreak of boils in your nether regions if you don’t get some self-respect”

It’s so lovely to see women supporting each other against the patriarchy 👍

Your definition of truth is as questionable as your epidemiology.

But as the great Sir Terry Pratchett used to say, “the company of those seeking the truth is infinitely preferable to those who think they’ve found it” 🙂

What a vile piece of misogyny.

Ramalangadingdong · 12/01/2024 22:54

I didn’t see the op mention marriage in any of her posts. She isn’t interested in him.

I will wave you off heavenwards on the day of judgment and take my chances with the sinners left to burn on earth, cheers all the same.

nalione · 13/01/2024 08:51

Dear date
Yes I am a caring person. Thank you for taking the time to explain your not capable of meeting my level. It's understandable not everyone has this in their nature. Good luck with your search. Someone out there will find you beautiful too.

Whiskeypowers · 13/01/2024 09:03

I love this post and unsurprisingly completely agree

Whiskeypowers · 13/01/2024 09:09

I like the “f boys” and “beauty boys”
it felt like I was reading a pitch for a new Netflix mini series - a dystopian post apocalyptic sexed up concept of the sharks and the jets.

Whiskeypowers · 13/01/2024 09:11

Didn’t quote the post I loved and cannot edit so absolutely fucking meaningless 🫣😂

I’d have been tempted to respond:
“Yeah, I’m on a date with him right now!” 😂

Start minding your own business and leave others with their own beliefs.

Can tell you must be bored at this point

Like i said very clearly - Each to their own.

No such thing as 'no strings' sex - every single time you lay with someone you contract their energy good or bad, bonding begins and you also expose yourself to STI's and other germs jumping from Tom, to Dick to Harry!! How will females like OP even know if the guy she's 'casually' shagging isnt involved with many diff other women like she is involved with many diff males? See how easy it is to spread Infections??

Protected or not - we know using condoms there is still a risk it might break leaving both sides exposed and unprotected. Its clumsy and dirty imo.

What i said comes from a spiritual point of view. Just like my views on gender disphoria or whatever excuse people use to change their god given gender. 'I feel like I was born a unicorn - i'm not in the right body' it does not give me the right to alter my forehead and surgically add a brightly coloured glittery horn to my forehead because i woke up feeling like a unicorn does it?

I understand not everyone has the same beliefs as me but I know what I know and sex is SACRED - it is not even debatable at this point. Educate yourselves because i am unapologetic.

I'm realistic. Society was the correct word to use because many sheeps in society think this is perfectly fine and nothing wrong with it. Each to their own but its disgusting and puts people at risk everytime. Self respect is lacking in BOTH sexes hence men doing it and females doing it

Mens equivalent to being called a bike is 'f*ck boys' - where i'm from females tend to avoid fck boys because when you are clean and you go with a f boy - you've potentially mixed your clean bodily fluids with about 30+ other foreign bodily fluids which will imbalance ones vaginal PH resulting thrush, bv or other vaginal problems.

All i'm saying is the casual sex culture needs scrapping. If you dont intend on being with the person dont sleep with them and then complain they lost interest In you or that they've given u a non treatable STI its pointless.

Sex is so special when its with the one you love and the one you are with. No feeling like it and your partner will know how to properly pleasure you - date, bash and dash is the guy fulfilling his needs - he isnt trying to satisfy you at that point!!

Hence me being suprised that OP even said the sex wasnt great - what was she actually hoping for without bonding and trying out all these diff penises??

Ive had the same partner for almost 15 years, we have 3 beauty boys and sex is still amazing & steamy because he knows me like i know him, we know eachothers likes and dislikes - he WANTS to please me and I WANT to please him - we are 2 halves and together we are whole. I wish all females would experience a love like the one I've got. You'd soon change your view if you did.
quality over quantity every single time, with everything in life. Value yourselves more, females and males!!

Such a shame, so sad

🤣🤣🤣🤣.
i particularly enjoyed the sideways stray into a transphobic rant about unicorns and glitter horns. The brief foray into vaginal PH was most entertaining too.
i agree with a pp one of the most amusing yet disturbing posts on mumsnet 24 so far.
👏🏻🤮😭

Waitingfordoggo · 15/01/2024 08:15

I think you’re on a hiding to nothing there. Casual sex ‘culture’ isn’t going anywhere.

I know what I know and sex is SACRED - it is not even debatable at this point.

I mean it really is debatable because an awful lot of us are atheists and don’t believe anything is sacred.

it does not give me the right to alter my forehead and surgically add a brightly coloured glittery horn to my forehead because i woke up feeling like a unicorn does it?

I’m pretty sure everyone has the right to attach a glittery horn to their head. No-one is going to stop you doing that- there’s probably an unscrupulous surgeon somewhere who’ll do you a permanent one. (I’m as GC as they come btw, but recognise that we can’t actually stop people adapting their own bodies if they want to).

Rosinda · 15/01/2024 08:22

Technically I agree with you Mumof3 that casual sex is shit- not much fun, not worth the risk if something goes wrong. Much better with someone you trust and love.

But why care about what other people do? And I don't condone slut shaming tbh, even if I don't want to partake in casual sex

Laura0076 · 15/01/2024 11:28

As will you. I'm sorry but I've watched this post go on and on... and no one attacked your beliefs or views until you started using absolutely disgusting language! And claiming your way of living is "the best one"
I have friends (you probably don't have that many) with completly different beliefs and religions to myself... we love and respect each others differences... we ask with an open mind to understand..we don't have to agree.. but I would never! Call another women out on her decisions. Your use of language I'd foul! Your empathy for others is non existent.

And if you feel your preaching for the kind of people who "deserve" there place in heaven.... I'd rather burn in hell.

No one asked you about your sex life... especially the original poster.

I really do hope you can reflect on your own behaviour towards others.
