So I was sitting with a gentleman friend watching some violent git on tv murder his ex, beat up his GF... and then the inexplicably forgiving GF crawls into bed and waits for him in a sexiful and alluring manner.

Clearly my response was 'WTF is wrong with her, this is sexist nonsense'...
to which gentleman friend replied to the effect of 'domestic violence is ok if it only happened once, they made up' etc.

No, it is not ok. Keeping well bloody clear of him now!

Any other big turn-off experiences?

Went to meet new boyf's mum, she was naked when I got there. Boyf went to the loo leaving me with her and then he came back in the room.....naked.

Well... I'm totally outgunned on this, but the weirdest reason I had to end things was when the guy I'd had half a dozen dates with turned to the side and - I swear - looked exactly like my dad...

A guy who turned up to our first date already drunk, he kept repeating the same questions Angry.

We were supposed to go on for dinner after a cocktail but I told him I was going to go home as he was drunk and there was no "chemistry".

The cheese and onion crisp thing has reminded me of a guy I was having a purely sexual thing with.

He turned up one day and I could immediately tell he had been eating Beef Monster Munch! Not a turn on!

Oh and the guy who was in such a hurry to get is pants off that he forgot to put his hand break on. A neighbour knocked on my door to ask if it was my car rolling down the hill Grin. He swore he hadn't forgotten it but that it must be faulty Hmm.

That wasn't actually what turned me off, it was when he told me about the "funny" sexist jokes he and his male colleagues made at work, including laughing about women they considered unattractive Angry.

What a great thread - well worth resurrecting.

I've got 2 - when I was in my teens I was lying in a park with a guy on our first date. I was fairly sure he was about to kiss me, but then he takes a mouthful of Ribena from a carton and spits it all over my face and neck.

Next weirdest was a guy I met OLD, we'd had a few dates, got on well, I went back to his to DTD. He started to have sex with just the very tip of his (small) penis - he can't have used more than an inch, and demanded that I stay absolutely still. He did this for about 15 mins while I got more and more frustrated, until I just got up and left. And when I declined a next date, he accused me of just "using him for his body". I wish!!

When I was about 23 I went on a date with a guy I'd met online. He was 20. I usually go for older men but had just come out of a horrible abusive relationship with someone older and thought I'd give him a fair chance. I wish I hadn't. We went to the cinema and he acted exactly like a teenager, I think he even did the yawn...stretch...oh look my arm is around you now COMPLETELY BY ACCIDENT manoeuvre. Decided maybe he was just nervous, walked him to the train station and we kissed. Kind of ashamed to say my libido took over at this point as despite his faults he was a pretty good kisser, and it had been a long time since I had been kissed. We went back to mine and carried on. The kissing was good but the teenage act came back, he kept grabbing my boob and giggling like a naughty schoolboy. I said, a bit bemused, "you can touch them if you want" and he almost squealed "really? Can I? Thanks!" like he'd never touched a boob before. That was the final nail in the coffin and I didn't see him again. Went back to older men when I met my DH!

Another: I was out clubbing (in my younger days!) and this gorgeous bloke started chatting, long hair, leather jacket, very me at the time. We'll call him Dan, cos that was his name. All went well and he came back to mine. He got undressed-one inch penis, no more :( He was super keen on me, wanted me to come and meet his parents, talked about what we'd do over the summer (we were at Uni) and kept calling round for more dates. I'm afraid I bottled it and pretended to be out, my house mates helped. I just couldn't face the micro penis again. :(

Oh and another one where I found his Sunday bottle of methadone on the desk in his room. I wasn't snooping it was just there in plain sight and I worked at a chemist so recognised it.
When I asked him about it he was surprised I'd not noticed the track marks on his arms.

Not a potential bf, but someone I'd been going out with for a few months...

He decided to send me a photo of himself having a wank. With close ups. Which is dubious in itself. But he'd recorded or saved it or something in slow motion.

Believe me that is not something you want to see close up in slow motion.

I'd been umming and ahhing anyway. That sealed it. I dumped him.

This thread! GrinGrin

I do remember when the love of my life dumped me and left me broken hearted, and even as I stumbled home in pieces I thought to myself "mmm, but the pound thing".

This was a conversation we'd had in which he repeatedly said "pound" instead of "pounds". As in "that must cost eighty pound. Maybe even a hundred pound. Who can afford a hundred pound a week? They must be earning about eighty thousand pound to mange that". I was wildly in love with him but each time he said it it chipped away at my attraction to him until now, when I look back, it's all I can really remember.

IT'S POUNDS.

It was probably not the only reason nothing ever came of it, but that one guy who threw his used cigarettes on the pavement. That he was a smoker was a pretty big turnoff on its own, but he said he wanted to quit, so I thought I'd give him a chance.

When I was 17, a guy I knew through a friend (he was 20) invited me out bowling with a few other couples for a date. He picked me up in his car and I was very impressed. He then drove us to a park about 20 miles away where we met up with four couples ranging in age from about 50 to 75 and had a game of crown green bowling.

He was a nice guy, really good looking but incredibly geeky and awkward and I just couldn't muster any kind of fancying him. He asked me out several more times and I turned him down every time. I felt awful.

I was with my ex-boyfriend for 3 years. On one of our first dates he told me that he really liked Chinese women because of their poker straight black hair, dark eyes and skin. I'm sat opposite with a mess of naturally blonde curls and blue eyes. Erm, thanks. He also, apparently, liked Chinese women because they're subservient. Nice.

The prick who said he flirted furiously with me "to improve my self esteem"

I'm not a charity case. I'm a married (to someone else) woman

The attention was flattering and I did fancy him right up till that moment (although I had asked him to stop flirting and pointed out I wouldn't/couldn't be interested)

Mine turned up to our date with his face painted like a tiger. He had been to a kids fair outside the pub we were to meet in. I shit you not! I asked him to wash it off as I couldn't see his face and he came back with an orange oompa loompa face. Then he gave me some sweets and lego. Couldn't get out of there quick enough. He texted me almost immediately to ask for a second date. Er no thanks....

OLD chatting, I asked him what his hobbies were. He replied "Water sports....

Oooh interesting, I thought. Then he finished the sentence ...and anal fun"

It was then I realised that water sports did not mean surfing.

NEXT!

This thread is hilarious .
Had some real howlers in my 20s, like the student teacher who suggested we get the bus to the pub ( ok students are skint I get it) then asked me to pay his fair as he had no change. Later in the pub he actually corrected my grammar! NEXT
The hunky American airforce pilot who followed me around the Greek islands ..... So far so great ...... But who insisted I call him Maverick ( the Tom cruise character in top gun) NEXT
On the rare occasion that I had a first date f&&k & he stood up in the middle of the night & pissed all over the bed. Yes I was in it at the time . Shall I go on? NEXT

Haha hilarious thread.

I've told this one on here before but here goes. Bumped into an old school friend on night out. Ended up sneaking off together and doing the deed. Afterwards he started to walk me home and hugged me and then started rubbing my belly saying we will have to get a baby in there. I was too scared to tell him where I lived after that and never saw him again!

Also dumped a bf of 4 months because he regularly drank cider and his breath smelt of mushy peas.

Dumped someone foe being too heavy in public with the PDA's too. The odd lingering kiss is fine with me but every other minute in public wanting to eat my face is not!

Oh am I, now? That's a relief. Thanks for the permission.

I don't bloody think so.

This was the guy whose hobby it was to reconstruct the stone floor in the living room for fun: as in lifting up the stones out of the grout, rearranging them and re-laying them.

Another ex still lived with his mother.

It wasn't for financial reasons, he had a good job, he just still lived with his mum and dad. He was 25. It was all just a bit pathetic really.

Oh, and I came downstairs one morning and his mum was massaging his feet in the living room.
