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

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 short

On purpose, I haven't read the whole thread, so I can guess. This was my first thought.

I would love to live in a flat again, often browse the luxury ones for sale in my home city on Zoopla. Some of them are over £1 million with stunning riverside locations.

ColinMyWifeBridgerton · 12/07/2024 21:17

Also we all know that if your height were different you'd be too tall, or too fat, or too thin. If you lived in a house to would be ridiculous that a single woman live in a big house. If you had scored higher on your degree it would be didn't get with anyone because too busy studying. If you had done worse in your career that would be a problem too. Good riddance to the idiot.

How did you leave, did you say anything?

takingitsleazy · 12/07/2024 21:19

Eww. You're so short. People like you shouldn't be allowed to exist. And in a flat??? Worse than hitler.

Desperate?

Nameaftermyheart · 12/07/2024 21:22

Too old, fat, your children, too intelligent, too thick, damaged ? The usual misogynistic bullshit really.

Haha amazing, hats off to you legend

IgnoranceNotOk · 12/07/2024 21:24

I’m sure he’s very confused about why he’s blocked and is now blaming it on you being uptight!

Better to find out he’s a dick early on!

boredsoscrollingonMNagain · 12/07/2024 21:25

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.

You poor woman. Clearly , as you are a woman your only purpose is to reproduce and marry. You have failed in life. What a sad, sorry existence to live …. Financially independent , your own home ( a flat - laughable ! Who wants a flat ! ) and cats. You must cry yourself to sleep every night ( in your own home with no man to take up the bed , no man to thank for everything you have , no dirty pants to pick up ) . What do you even do in your spare time , after work in your career you have built up? I bet it’s things like shopping with the money you have earnt , eating in nice restaurants or pretty much anything you want ? It doesnt bear thinking about ! And a 2:2 ? I mean , come on pretty much the same as a one day online digital skills diploma ! I hope you snap this man up to save yourself from this sorry existence .

DorisDoesDoncaster · 12/07/2024 21:26

You sound fabulous OP!

He’s a knob.

Nanaof1 · 12/07/2024 21:26

It sounds like he read the "Incel Handbook"(I am betting there is one out there). Incels read it and then wonder why they're still incels a decade later.

However I'm 'attractive for my age'

He's not.

No, he really, really is not.
Maybe he’ll stay in the pond now, no woman wants him crawling out again.

Pedallleur · 12/07/2024 21:30

Blew her out! Obviously a lezzer/desperate/after my money is what he will tell his mate.

gardenmusic · 12/07/2024 21:33

Welcome, OP, welcome to the ranks of the psycho exes.
You are clearly ungrateful, weird, and unable to take constructive criticism.
You will fit right in.

Daleksatemyshed · 12/07/2024 21:34

I'm 5 ft 2 with a cat. Oh the shame

gardenmusic · 12/07/2024 21:35

Oh, and I do think you might have taken one for the team, and taken him out of the pool!
Selfish, or what?

FakeAlaska · 12/07/2024 21:37

Stern, formal or frank. Because you can communicate your wants and needs.

I can pass on his number? Unless you live in a flat? The cat lady jokes are hilarious

Oh no. I'm 5'1 and have two cats. I'm surprised DH hasn't left me.

SafeMouse · 12/07/2024 20:45

Well I'm now in my PJs with a cat on my lap and a glass of wine, in my beautiful flat looking out on the river, contemplating my inadequate 20 year old degree and googling how short I am 😆

It was actually strangely enjoyable in an out of body wtf is going on way!

Is negging really a thing? I don't date much as not that fussed about bring in a relationship as I clearly have terrible taste in men!

Considering he was quite drunk, I doubt he was negging. I think he really believes he is superior to you. Aren't you a lucky gal to have met him. What a prince!

Has he called yet, pretending nothing happened? Blessing you with a third date?

Can you write a message to him and put him in his place

What a fcking sick fcker

Used to get told I was too clever !!

Oh lord
The little pathetic
Idiots

Dodged a bullet OP

dontcryformeargentina · 12/07/2024 21:52

He thinks that he is better than you, you want too much from relationship and just have to be grateful that he is paying any attention to you...

jellycat · 12/07/2024 21:53

Oh dear, I’m 5ft and have a cat! I do live in a house though 🤣
