My instinct says knob. What say you lot?

Went on a date with man. Man says (among other things of course,) "I really care about looks, does that make me shallow?" I say something polite and non-commital like, "Well I don't think it's unreasonable to expect to be attracted to your partner..." Man says, "Yeah, because whoever I'm with is a reflection on me right?"

Don't think I want to go out with him again. AIBU?

God no. What a twunt. You will be fine though, I am gradually gathering all the internet nutters to me. Two today alone. Once I have gathered them, you will all be safe.

Lucky escape.

Jesus H Christ. I'm astonished you didn't just get up and walk out there and then.

Or vomit in his lap.

TheOriginalFAB · 17/12/2011 22:04

Prat.

Him. Not you.

Delete his number.

racingheart · 17/12/2011 22:05

I so wish you'd said, 'Yep, who you're with is totally a reflection on you. Enjoy your meal alone' and walked out.

knob with bells on! What a sad twat

baskingseals · 17/12/2011 22:07

you are spot on
he is a small sad little man who deserves your pity
and a knob

PlumpDogPillionaire · 17/12/2011 22:08

Why waste time and breath on 'something polite and noncommital' when the answer's so clearly 'yes'?

Knob. Obviously.

thenightsky · 17/12/2011 22:08

God what a twat...coz it is so all about him.

ElfenorRathbone · 17/12/2011 22:10

LOL

Well just to give him the benefit of the doubt...

Maybe he didn't mean it like that? Maybe he meant that who you are with, tells other people soemthing about you. Which it does. The values and beliefs and behaviour of the people you hang out with, says something about your values and beliefs, doesn't it?

But then, he siad it in relation to appearance, not values and beliefs.

Yes it's as I thought. Knob.

Gah it's time to face facts. I am a knob magnet and I don't know why.

Yup - knob.

Even if someone has shallow criteria hidden amongst others, only anutter knob would talk about them. But perhaps it's a good thing that he betrayed his knobbishness early on; at least you haven't wasted much time. Hope the food was good, to make up for the company.

PlumpDogPillionaire · 17/12/2011 22:14

I am a knob magnet and I don't know why.

Because you're a pretty lil lady who ends up being 'polite and noncommital'?

neuroticmumof3 · 17/12/2011 22:16

twunt

HecateGoddessOfTwelfthNight · 17/12/2011 22:16

Oh yes. great big pillock.

Run like the wind.

If he asks why, tell him that he's simply not attractive enough and you couldn't possibly be seen with him, because it would reflect badly on you...

perceptionreality · 17/12/2011 22:16

He sounds like an arse

lazarusinNazareth · 17/12/2011 22:18

You aren't a knob magnet. He's just a knob. Probably thought he was complimenting you.

Like Hecate's idea...

I am not a lady PlumpDog - I am a Woman.

A reasonably intelligent, self sufficient, independent, nice, woman.

Who can be far too polite and non-committal for her own good Grin

What a loser... like he is not enough on his own to make a statement to people.

My flatmate is like this. Looking for perfection and yet boring as hell, tight as fuck and sad!!!!

40, looking for perfection and offering nothing.

Well rid.

NotTheBlinkingGruffaloAgain · 17/12/2011 22:20

the way he responded to what you said is more 'Knobacious' than the initial comment

suburbophobe · 17/12/2011 22:23

Creep. Run for the hills!

Onemorning · 17/12/2011 22:26

Knob to the power of knob squared.

Be glad you found out after one date - I didn't realise my ex was like that for over two years.

Blinking, I am going to steal 'knobacious' because it's great. I hope you don't mind?

Bluebelle38 · 17/12/2011 22:28

I love knobacious as well haha! Class.
