So I've been seeing a bloke , was set up through a friend (it's her brother)
Couple of dates, good so far. Tonight the plan was for me to drop in on him , pick him up for a dog walk (I'm dog sitting at mo)
I get there, he invites me in, the house STINKS. The curtains are shut, but it's not messy or anything. It must have shown on my face (it was very strong) He then said the romantic words all women want to hear "I just love sitting at home farting"
I thought he was joking, he wasn't. Because I thought that was grim, I am a stuck up batch apparently.

On the plus side, he seems an honest man.

Don’t think he had any choice…..he had to explain the gawd awful smell somehow

Raise your standards!!

Did you read my bottom paragraph or are you plucking out the fact I'm not overly bothered by a man farting in his own home?. I just don't think it's that big of a deal. It's his house and nobody was in it at the time.

I did however die on the hill of calling her a "stuck up bitch " to me : that's the problem here.

weirdoboelady · 05/05/2025 21:19

Surely you have to have a GI problem to enjoy farting quite that much? Get his sister to ask him if he feels unwell before he farts...

FreddoSwaggins · 05/05/2025 21:19

I have to say that wasn't the reason I thought you'd give.

How odd he said that like it was normal when talking to someone you've only recently met.

Well I suppose everyone needs a hobby. On the plus side it would truly fit into the infamous 'won't say because it's too outing' about MN DH's hobby!

Reminds me of a very old joke about a chap who'd gone to his friend's house and was invited in by the friend's wife to wait for him as he was out on an errand.

Sitting at the table, he let one go and it stank. The dog was under the table and the friend's wife, who was making him a cup of tea, shouted through "Fido, come out from under that table".

So laddo thinks well, this is alright...the dog's been blamed for the smell, so he continues farting away. A second time the friend's wife calls the dog...'Fido, I won't tell you again, come out from under that table."

A really big one brews up and he lets rip and it absolutely stinks.

The friend's wife shouts "Fido! Come out from under that table before he shits on you."

That is gross! Not making any effort is bad enough in a new relationship (you would think he would be trying to impress abit, tidied up, opened the windows etc). But to add the farting bit in - just yuck! At least you’ve found out early! 😅

If his brain wasn't so fart-addled he'd have blamed the dog.

You called her neurotic for noticing the rancid smell of a man's arse gas that he had been happily ejecting all over the house before welcoming in his date to the fart fug. If you think a woman finding that gross is neurotic, you need to raise your standards.

He couldn't have done this as we had only just walked in and the dog is very little. This was hours of stench

Why are you posting on mn and not still running to put as much distance as possible between you and this creature?!

What better way to do that than posting on MN?

Well that's going to be awkward with your friend

Sorry I didn't see a future I just saw the fumes?

This is why you should never match make or recommend a friend for romantic reasons - least of all your brother!

AdoraBell · 05/05/2025 21:30

Glad he showed you who is early rather than a few years down the line.

Take your standards and leave him to his farting hobby.

LadyWiddiothethird · 05/05/2025 21:34

At least you will never have to sit beside him on a plane!

Makes a change to actually find out what the niche/outing hobby is 🤣

Ok. Noted. If a man farts in his own home and I'm not overly bothered by that : it means my standards are incredibly low. Ok, thanks, got you. I think I'll just stick to LTB when he calls me a "stuck up bitch "

I think it's more that you called me neurotic and I hadn't done anything remotely neurotic

This is the mythical 'outing' MN hobby. Except it requires staying in instead of going out.

What has his sister said about there being no further dates? Did she know he was this grim?
