Creep on tinder

I joined tinder recently but haven't met anyone from it. Last night there was a chap I "matched" with and his short profile bit seemed really nice. Looking for dating then ultimately a life partner, own business, likes women who have good conversation, etc.

Anyway, he messaged me, complimenting my picture, and asked me what I was hoping to find on tinder. I said dating, etc. etc and his reply was "I'm looking for a girl I can destroy."

I know it's not exactly the most explicitly awful or offensive comment every but it really got to me. Shocked, I replied "right. Good luck with that." And then he blocked me, I assume, as I can't see him any more.

There are some odd people about!

What a creep.

You should have arranged a date and turned up with 30 or so Mumsnetters.

That would have defined the word "destroy" for him.

I 'tinder' date and have only had positive experiences, I have never been sent a 'penis' shot, have only been spoken to with respect and have even had a relationship from someone I met from there, the rest have been pleasant enough dates but nothing I wanted to pursue, but nothing negative at all. There are dickheads in all walks of life, I guess I'm quite good at spotting the knobs from their photos !

Destroy? Is he some kind of crap robot with bendy arms?

Creep on tinder

That's hilarious! Grin
Oh how I wish I could have sent him that! It's such an odd thing to have said.. I'm assuming he meant destroy as in...er, have lots of vigorous sex with, but at the time it creeped me a bit because I thought he meant destroy as in abuse.
Ah well, plenty more fish in the tinder box!

deffo some very odd people about. you wonder why they bother.

I was messaged once by someone whose picture had a whole pile of blokes in it, i asked which one was him, and i got back a message 'guess'. I said i don't know, to which i got a message back 'guess you slag'

Angry

then when i showed my friend the profile, i realised there were many red flags, as the text had bad I hate my rantings on it.

You just never know eh.

imjustahead · 10/04/2015 17:43

sorry it had 'i hate my ex' rantings on it.

Jan45 · 10/04/2015 17:47

Oh dear lol.

Maybe it was the biggest autocorrect fail of all time? clutches atm straws

handfulofcottonbuds · 10/04/2015 19:11

Yes Alice - he probably meant he's looking for a woman to dine Grin

CaptainAnkles · 10/04/2015 19:16

Does that mean destroy emotionally and ruin her life, or is it some kind of rough sex metaphor? Revolting anyway. I hope he gets absolutely nowhere with anyone.

BarrySponge · 15/04/2015 15:24

Sounds like some sad fucker who has read 50 Shades of Grey once too often (which is also know as 'once') and thinks that someone will fall for that shit.

EveryFrickingNameIsTaken · 15/04/2015 15:37

It's a sexual reference, a la Keith Lemon.

You're right he does sound like a creep. I wonder if that line has worked for him so far. Personally I can't imagine and woman saying "oh be still my beating heart, this is the man I have been waiting for". DICK!

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 15/04/2015 16:05

Only response to that line is, "You'll be waiting a long time then"

Only an idiot thinks a woman would fall for that shit. I like rough sex, but I'd rather not be destroyed, as it were.
