Difference in opinion - do I go on this date?

[NowWhatUsernameShallIHave]

Background: I am 3 years single out of a mentally and abusive relationship. I am also clinically vulnerable.

In the past year I have been on a few dates but nothing I wanted to pursue.

I have met a man online and from the get go we have clicked and get on so well.
Except for the fact that he is a staunch anti Vaxxer and thinks COVID is fake. He said his uncle died from the vaccine.
From so many men I’ve matched with and spoken to he is otherwise really really respectful and understanding. He respects my POV.

Before I knew this I was so looking forward to meeting him but now I have to decide whether to go ahead.

Ew no

Nope, I couldn’t find someone with such ignorant views remotely attractive, could you?

Is he fit? You don't have to stay with the twat.

If he doesn’t believe in Covid, what does he think all these people in hospital have had ?

Anti vax fair enough ( although I would still be sceptical) but denying covid exists is just plain stupid.

My uncle didn’t believe in Covid- he’s now in hospital with it.

Afraid it's also a no from me! The ignorance, and arrogance, of being anti vax and refusing to believe science and experts is reflective of something lacking in his grasp of fact and reality. Not to mention the selfishness of being unwilling to shoulder some social responsibility. Sorry.

No chance. Dim wits are very unattractive to me.

@TeeBee

No chance. Dim wits are very unattractive to me.

It's the arrogance of thinking somehow he knows better than everyone else that makes my vagina shut up shop.

(Especially the 167,927 people in this country who've died of something that "doesn't exist.")

Are you really that desperate for a shag/drink/company?!

Maybe if he was anti-vax, although I’d disagree with him. COVID is fake is another level, couldn’t be listening to that!

Nope. Absolutely not. Nor at all.

Exh has the same opinion. He has managed to isolate both of our children. His sister and mother have all gone down the same rabbit hole.

Exactly, how did the vaccine kill his uncle?

I am 3 years single out of a mentally and abusive relationship. I am also clinically vulnerable.

This man is absolutely NOT what you need OP. Hold out for what you deserve.

I wouldn’t even be considering it.

I couldn't be doing with an actual relationship with someone so paranoid.

I appreciate that you've got on well to this point & that dating would be nice, but you need to be a bit more patient & hold out for someone that doesn't think COVID is fake. He might be respectful of your different points of view, but how can you be when
His is stark raving mad??

How has he come to this conclusion? I know you say it is just this one issue but to completely deny the existence of it, would suggest he is observing some conspiracy theory accounts/forums, where his opinions are being validated. Are you not concerned this could be the tip of the conspiracy theory iceberg?
Also, why bother putting yourself physically at risk? If he's a denier, he is presumably not taking precautions to avoid getting it. You sure you want to be around someone like that?

Is it Piers Corbyn?

He said that it’s upto me[/quote]
He's not going to be careful to help keep you safe from something he insists doesn't exist, is he?

It'll all be at your own risk, your personal responsibility, your choice, up to you and he'll take no responsibility for playing any part in endangering you.

And he'll probably make it clear what he thinks of you for putting on a mask, following the covid rules, getting a booster, or not wanting to do something because it endangers you.
If this was a tv programme the women of this country would al be yelling "Don't do it!" at our screens.

I know what the right thing to do is

@NowWhatUsernameShallIHave

I know what the right thing to do is

Then it's unanimous.

I’m so distraught that after 3 years I finally have found someone who knew about my scars and condition and accepted it and it’s come down to something like this.

It would be a no from me.

You're clinically vulnerable and sadly he is rather stupid and potentially a health risk to you.

I also feel that if his views on Covid are so illeducated then I really wouldn't see him as likely to have more sensible views on other important aspects of life. There's a certain type isn't there and he's probably it.

Oh no hell no

The ‘internet rabbit hole’ type. Run a mile.

What do you mean he knew your scars?

Try and see this as progress. There's every chance this man didn't accept your condition, but was attracted to it.

You haven't ignored a major red flag. You spotted it. That's a good thing.

I doubt he's a risk to you in viral terms, but he sounds like a right twit.

@Darkpheonix
Trying not to be too outing
I have a lot of scarring in one part of my body plus a visible appliance fitted to compensate for that part of the body not working
Plus I need regular invasive treatment
