Comments about body shape on first date?

126 replies

JustifiedAncientandMad · 08/12/2010 19:15

If a man comments on your shape on the first few dates, is it a red flag? The story so far: First date "I can't tell what shape you are under those clothes", second date "I think Nigella Lawson's really lardy", third date "you like your cardies don't you?"

My answer is, yes I do, it's bloody cold. And I think Nigella is a goddess and consider myself fortunate to have a bod like hers (which I do). He seems nice apart from these comments, and I fancy him. But I fancy him less because of this. Would you bail or bother to find out more about him?

Definitely bail. He sounds like the twat who started a relationship with my friend saying 'I normally never date anyone bigger than a size 8, but I'm making an exception for you - if you get any fatter, I'm gone.' She was a small size 10 & ended up developing anorexia because of him Angry It's really best just left when they start with comments about how you look!

From experience....bail now

yama · 08/12/2010 19:42

I don't think I've ever heard a man comment on body shape. Bail, bail, bail.

TheCrackFox · 08/12/2010 19:43

Bail.

He is a tosser and from bitter experience it only gets worse.

CatPower · 08/12/2010 19:43

Sounds like someone is trying to project his own insecurities out onto you, to show you who is the boss. Don't take a blind bit of notice of what he said to you!

Bail, bail, bail!

gettingeasier · 08/12/2010 19:43

Er no brainer bail my xh was a body facist - soul destroying stuff.

AllOverIt · 08/12/2010 19:44

Bail.

What a fuckwit...

AuntBessieIsComingForXmas · 08/12/2010 19:44

Jesus, I can't believe he made it to date #3.

Get rid, life is too short.

gettingeasier · 08/12/2010 19:44

Mini hi jack - Antalya are you feeling better now ?

booyhohoho · 08/12/2010 19:45

agree with otehrs. red flag. if he does it on teh first second and third dates, he will always do it and you already don't liek it. bail.

MidlandsMom · 08/12/2010 19:45

Bail!

sincitylover · 08/12/2010 19:45

run for them hills.

Tell him you find pencil slim men a turn off.

big alarm bells ringing for me.

my exh used to say things like - women shouldn't wear jeans, I only like really slim women - I've never been and oh well at least you've got shape (meaning you're a bit too curvy for my liking but at least you have shape)

piratecatClaus · 08/12/2010 19:49

have a great night, hope you meet someone who appreciates your lushness!.

don't bother with someone who has made you feel uncomfortable. If he thinks Nigella's lardy, and you have a figure like NIgella, then he's just going to undermine your self confidence by making these rude comments.

WTF!!!m, is he actually thinking he night get you into bed at some stage, pmsl, dump his scrawny ass.

happybubblebrain · 08/12/2010 19:50

He sounds like an idiot with no idea about women.

Lucyinthepie · 08/12/2010 19:52

Do you need to ask? Text him a link to this thread.

JaxTellersOldLady · 08/12/2010 19:55

dont see him again. He sounds like he hasnt a clue.

Cicatrice · 08/12/2010 19:55

Bail.

Everybody likes cardies.

spidookly · 08/12/2010 19:58

On second thoughts... maybe you should give him a chance.

Only joking! Bail! :o

walkinginaWUKTERwonderland · 08/12/2010 20:00

Ugh, bail!

Minione · 08/12/2010 20:04

Wanker! Tell him to jog on!
