So met a guy online. Date 1 - very average but thought I'd give him time to come into himself. Date 2 boy did he come into himself.....

I'll tell you about me. Early 40s, reasonably fit but no gym bunny (size 10 - 5'1). Successful career wise, live in the centre of a popular historic city in a beautiful converted flat. No kids, 2 cats. Average undergraduate degree. Divorced 6 years.

Let's guess what this Prince amongst men (hes not. Really really not) thinks is the problem with me when incredibly drunk on date 2.

Too old.

Too full of yourself.

Trying to be a man.

GCAcademic · 12/07/2024 20:05

Too fussy?

Craftycorvid · 12/07/2024 20:05

Any/all of the above suggestions? Intrigued in spite of myself here.

UpUpUpU · 12/07/2024 20:07

Don’t respond quick enough?! 😂😂

SafeMouse · 12/07/2024 20:07

I wasn't drag it out because its too ludicrous!
So far.... you're pretty much all right. It's all of the above!!!!

I'm too short, only thick people get a 2.2, it's hilarious that I have cats (the single cat lady stereotype is apparently side splitting funny) best of all - adults don't live in flats.

I'd have also met someone by now (which clearly is the priority) but I've prioritised my career. I think this is also why I don't have children but he was slurring quite a bit by then.

He can fix all these things for me. We'll, not the being short I think he's graciously going to accept that.

The cats?

SerenityNowInsanityLater · 12/07/2024 20:07

You haven’t bleached your arsehole AND/OR you don’t look like a 6 year old girl down there? Meaning you haven’t had a full Brazilian- important to clarify exactly what I mean without sounding too weird. 😬

Atethehalloweenchocs · 12/07/2024 20:07

I am going to guess before I read the thread. You are too independent?

SafeMouse · 12/07/2024 20:08

However I'm 'attractive for my age'

He's not.

I'd like to guess that you're not planning on seeing him again? What an arse!

TerfTalking · 12/07/2024 20:10

I hope you told him OP, what a twat.

So David Mitchell’s thick? I knew it was an act all along!

I only stayed as long as I did as being more and more insulted was weirdly compelling. But no I'm home now and he's already blocked!!!

So where are you going for the honeymoon?

Obviously you won't be passing up the great opportunity to marry this wonderful man.

NotbloodyGivingupYet · 12/07/2024 20:12

I hope you told him through your tears that you are not good enough for him and he'll be much better off without you.
No no, you insist.

Emmeline1894 · 12/07/2024 20:13

Dodged a bullet there OP. You sound great.

Craftycorvid · 12/07/2024 20:13

Good grief! No words OP. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Monicaaa · 12/07/2024 20:13

Wow aren't you lucky to have met such a wonderful man who will 'fix' you...
What a cockwomble.
Still on the bright side you NEVER have to see him again...

Seriously enjoy knowing you are not tied to such a pathetic, intimidated little pick and that you are way too good for him. (he clearly has a little prick, hence his issues)
Sorry you had to waste two evenings of your life tho. 💜

Marata · 12/07/2024 20:14

Are you going to dump him by message or in person OP? Either way I hope you’ll be sweetly quoting all these things back to him, as reasons why you’re clearly not good enough for the Prince that he is.

SafeMouse · 12/07/2024 20:14

What's with the flat thing though? That's the most strangely insulting! Adults don't live in flats????

Thank you so much for sharing, you are wonderful, and he is a misogynistic, delusional twat!

StormingNorman · 12/07/2024 20:16

poor love will never understand why he’s been blocked.

Merryoldgoat · 12/07/2024 20:16

Sweet fucking Jesus.

RaspberryBeretxx · 12/07/2024 20:16

Ugh and also 🤣🤣 (at him). The best thing is when they let you know early on that they are an utter wanker. I remember a guy who told me on our first date that “men age better than women”. He was NOT ageing particularly well!
