Never have we needed a vomit emoji more 🤮

🤮
He obviously sees himself as a bit of a rake... 😉

Brendathebear · 06/08/2025 23:55

Im speechless. What an absolute catch 🤢

CarpeVitam · 06/08/2025 23:56

OMG! 😦

Glitterybee · 06/08/2025 23:57

Who on Earth would read that and think yes Chris you’ll do me 🤢

Juststop2025 · 06/08/2025 23:57

What a creepy, grubby, icky wanker.

OneKhakiFish · 06/08/2025 23:57

WOW! He sounds a right catch 🤢

FlamingoFloss · 06/08/2025 23:59

This has turned my stomach. Just 🤑

Katflapkit · 07/08/2025 00:00

It's got to be a spoof - his mates posted this.

mjf981 · 07/08/2025 00:00

😳😂😱
This cannot possibly be real.

I wonder what Chris (43) hoped his punny little ad would bring him?

I suspect women recoiling in horror and vomit emojis was not it.

There were seductive 'look at my nostril hair' photos to seal the deal 🤢

I don't think for a moment it's not real. In my brief foray into online dating about ten years ago I saw some fucking sights, let me tell you. This guy is trying to be funny and massively missing the mark while outing himself as a creepy bastard - but there were a lot, lot worse than that.

It got so I just blocked on spec without a moment's hesitation if they seemed at all ick, and came off the dating apps about four months in never to return. To be fair, I did go on a few dates with some nice enough fellows as well.

I was very lucky after that and met my husband purely by accident while out for lunch with a bunch of women I barely knew. The key is just to keep getting out there and mingling in the real world. Plus a good solid dose of luck!

What a prize eggplant.
He needs to be thrown on the compost heap.

Enough4me · 07/08/2025 00:10

You have to wade through detritus on OLD, but there are regular men on there too. There's usually more men than women and I expect it's because the disgusting men make women have the ick for OLD as a concept.

Lazykitten · 07/08/2025 00:12

I mean it doesn't even make sense. Why would he be both seed and compost 🤔

There is a guy who sings tinder messages.. well worth looking up

OLD is grim

Brenda34 · 07/08/2025 00:13

He's going nowhere near my clematis.

😅I miss the laugh emoji.

OSTMusTisNT · 07/08/2025 00:22

Knob probably looks like a worm 🤮.

Ursulla · 07/08/2025 00:26

Fuck me, that is gruesome. I'm getting Owen from Vicar of Dibley vibes. Plus Alan Partridge.

No, no, and fucking Just No.

ForeverDelayedEpiphany · 07/08/2025 00:28

Bloody hell.

I thought OLD was bad when I tried it once and had a guy who was about a foot shorter than he'd claimed, and another one who was a paraplegic but didnt tell me until a few hours before the date, then brought a chaperone 😳

But it's not as bad as these days. Blimey.

The worst bit is he clearly thinks of himself as hilarious.
