Guess what he thinks is wrong with me....

[SafeMouse]

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.

Maybe that's it. He lives a few miles from the city, I presume in a house but didn't occur to me to ask! Unless it's something special then my flat would likely be worth more just due to location. It's symbolic of my entire inadequate lifestyle 😆

I was going to guess the cats.
What a prick! Byeeee

Genuinely interested in what his list is OP.

Not enough cats?

Give your cats some extra tuna and a stroke and thank them for the lucky escape!

@SafeMouse was he drunk when he arrived?

and does he live in a mansion?!

A Desmond! Of course!!!

💯 this!!! (One kid, no cats, house, commuter village.)

The flat thing - as someone else said - is a (basic AF) suburban mindset thing. Once you're a proper grown up you move out of the city and in to a nice house with a garden.... 😑

Oh gawd yes, I bet he’s checked right move and realise you have more money / net worth than him. How dare you.

Also I’m curious how he dropped all these mad comments into the date, which I’m guessing didn’t last long!

There’s nothing quite like an inadequate man,

You should tell him that his ex contacted you to warn you about his ludicrously small cock.

I’m presuming of course you asked this Prince “oh great one, what please tell me, is wrong with me!” As well you should as you now have his wisdom.

I can’t by any stretch of the imagination imagine that he offered these gems unprompted???

Choked on my tea, but it was 100% worth it! 😂

wow, he's going to graciously overlook all of your shortcomings! are you not in love already!

Just what I was going to say. Or too confident.

Blocking him is a wasted opportunity though.

“Dear Prince-among-men, it was great to see you again, but - as you noted - we’re sadly not compatible. I know someone I think you’d click really well with though. Shall I pass your number on?”

Then pass to one of us so that we can also put him back in his box.

It kinda started with the of so funny cat comments and went downhill from there. In answer to someone else, yes strongly suspect he'd been drinking beforehand as he went from mildly annoying to full on slurry insulting within a couple of drinks.

I'd love to live in an apartment again.
Don't waste your time on this dickhead.

Fuck me. I hope he cringed himself into oblivion when he woke up.

He sound vile. Childish, sexist, and repugnant. You sound awesome! HTH @SafeMouse

Aw what a shame OP. But you know maybe this is the wake up call you need? Rehome your cats, get an even better qualification, and a nice 3 bed semi in the suburbs? You could really turn this around, and with a bit of luck, you might not have blown it if he's sees you're making an effort! Though realistically I expect he'll have a queue to work through so maybe he'll just be the one that got away. Hugs. (Oh and heels. Big high pointy heels, and maybe a bouffy hair do for the, yknow, height thing....)

Too confident

Absolutely!

2.2 is an absolutely fine grade that many would wish for, OP.

Fiona Shackleton got a third. I’d sell my granny to have her as my divorce lawyer. 😆

Stick with cats! My next husband will be my two cats.
