Changedusernameforthis2 · 05/05/2025 19:28

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.

Don’t bother saying anything to her, it hasn’t really got anything to do with her really

She'll ask!

We’re obviously very juvenile Ms Powder! 😂

Make that 3 of us ........😁

So grim… sounds like he has a fetish for the smell of his own colon.

Kittyfluff · 05/05/2025 22:53

Well, at least he gave you a warning. Blokes like him should be painted with yellow and black stripes if you ask me. Or, at least made to wear a jumper in those colours. Warn people about the presence of potential danger.

Mine (of 35 years) drops the tiny silent toxic ones and denies the odour is shit. "What! I can't smell nothin" All with a look of pure innocence on his bloody face. We don't even have a dog to blame it on. He even claimed the neighbours must be laundering dirty nappies once or twice.

The eventual smirk always gives it away though.

Why the fuck do they think making someone wretch is funny, I'm sure I will never know.

Fortunately, it's quite rare and he doesn't treat it as a hobby...nor an achievement.

You don’t need to give her all the details!!
Just say it wasn’t working, the rest of it is none of her business!!

I wouldn’t tell a good friend that her brother was a smelly / filthy pig

Who knew the bar for stuck up bitch was so low 🤣

What a catch he is.

ThatsNotMyTeen · 05/05/2025 23:05

Omg this is hilarious OP

Indeed. Presumably the only thing the OP could have done to avoid being a ‘stuck up bitch’ is to inhale delightedly and let rip a real humdinger of her own.

Made me laugh too, but I'd hate that in a date too tho

EdithBond · 05/05/2025 23:35

Barf!

And after a couple of dates! What would he be like after 5 years of cohabitation?

The only response to that is there may be a woman, somewhere, who’d find that attractive and sexy. But I doubt it.

Backtoblack1 · 05/05/2025 23:40

He sounds like a Year 8 boy! Instant ick!!!

BobbyBiscuits · 05/05/2025 23:42

Fucking hell. Your mate can't be that good of a friend if she sets you up with Mr Fartyarse. Lol.

Gawd he sounds awful. Even if someone 'loves sitting at home farting', (Fucking vile and odd regardless) you'd think they'd stretch to opening the curtains and a few windows when they presumably are well aware that someone who they might want to have sex with could be coming round?

Sorry what 😂😂

Your friend set you up with this prince? She owes you an explanation as to why! Yuck.

I agree. It's her brother so she must of had some idea about his hobbies and pastimes

JockTamsonsBairns · 05/05/2025 23:46

I'm in my 50s now but, as a teenager, I was astonished to discover that my grandfather would go to the bathroom if he felt he needed to break wind.
Anything else would have been considered 'coarse'.

This was a rough estate in Glasgow btw.

I don't know what's happened.

Farting with abandon is not ok.

I dated a guy when I was 18 who would literally leave the room and get out of earshot before farting. Sometimes if there was nowhere to go he'd get really fidgety and I eventually realised he was trying not to do it in front of me, bless him.

Also weird, in a cute/awkward teenage way, but preferable to a 40 year old scruff who enjoys it! 😅

friendlycat · 06/05/2025 00:57

Grim, grim, grim.

ApricotLime · 06/05/2025 01:26

That's him in the honeymoon stage trying to impress you. Thank God he didn't light a match. You'd have no eyebrows left.
Its nice that he not only enjoys farting, but likes to trap and preserve them for visitors

Todayismyfavouriteday · 06/05/2025 01:40

Oh, Gosh... Luckily he's shown his true colours soon enough. If he doesn't bother to open a window for a date, imagine what he would be like later on😖Run, and never look back.

YehRight · 06/05/2025 01:50

Omg!

I mean, I couldn't really care less if someone is farting In their own home . I don't think I'd have bought it up as a "thing" on entering the house. If he sat there letting rip in front of you with his legs wide open when he hadn't known you that long, bit different. But you walked in his home and made a comment in disgust at the smell of his farts. Bit neurotic after 2 dates.

However, calling you a stuck up bitch is a abusive. That is unacceptable. I'd be telling your friend. A man that speaks like that to a woman he barely knows is not a good man.

Just out of curiosity what would you have done?

Would you think OP was better mannered and less ‘neurotic’ if she’d walked in and taken a big “ah Bisto” inhale and declared it “meaty with a bouquet of pedigree chum and base notes of rotten eggs” and then sat in that stinking fart riddled dungeon out of politeness whilst the smell slowly seeped into her clothes, hair and the poor dogs fur.

This is where #bekind really goes too far, I think showing disgust is normal but you seem to think OP should have either ignored it or treated his actions as a hobby and made polite enquiries like “have you been enjoying sitting alone in a dark cave passing gas from your bowels for long or is this a new activity?”

It is not neurotic to not want to smell someone’s farts and breathe in poo particles! If the smell was that bad I think most people would struggle to act as though they were enjoying it 😂.

I agree. OP doesn't need to be kind and suffer the shit smell with a smile plastered on her face. A man wouldn't if it was OP creating the insulated fart dungeon.
She's done him a favour as otherwise he'd always be wondering why women lost interest in him.
