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?

On the beard thing - do you ever see someone online who has a couple of different haircuts (or facial hear styles) and want to message them to say which one is current - I only fancy you with the long hair?

I have done - I'm pretty successful with OLD!

Absolutely pissing myself at the novelty sponges!!

First date with man who had seemed perfectly nice.

He was very late, was rude to the waiter and banged on about how much money he earned.

Then he solemnly informed me that he had recently masturbated over me.

batshitlady · 30/11/2015 08:53

A couple of years ago I slept with this bloke after our second date.

When he - er - ahem, 'finished', he sort of painfully muttered : "No - no - no", softly, as if his mum was in bed with us...

We finished for real, shortly after.

strawberryandaflake · 30/11/2015 09:33

Haha, sponges!

Not a date one but after 4 years of seeing the same guy he asked me what I wanted for my (May) birthday. I said I wanted something sparkly. Fairy lights. I got fairy lights.

Think I might start a new thread Grin

"
The one I dated for a short while who told me that his previous girlfriends had liked clothes shopping for him and he was happy to let them do this."

Over a decade of marriage and I do this! If I didn't, husband would look like a scarecrow, and not give a damn either!

First date with a guy and he got a parking ticket as he hadn't read the sign properly. Text me a couple of days later asking for half the money because "if he wasn't meeting me then he wouldn't have got one, so it's only fair". Didn't bother replying to that one!

SuperFlyHigh · 30/11/2015 12:18

franco but this man was too lazy to get his own clothes...

If you're a wife or long term GF a bit different but he either liked other women choosing his clothes so I think...

It was not the only bad thing about him, the others being he hated his mum (praised his dad to the hilt), smoked a lot of weed and drank a bit.... And hated his boss and would often go on about that... So much so that I had to tell him to shut up about it or get another job as I was sick of hearing about it!

WhatALoadOfOldBollocks · 30/11/2015 16:10

Many years ago I met a bloke OD and the first time I stayed at his it was all going OK until he uttered "all for you, babe, all for you"GrinHmm during sex. Thankfully he was behind me and so couldn't see me stifling a giggle and eye roll. I just thought "what a wanker!" I ended up sneaking out in the middle of the night while he was asleep and then avoided him from that day on. It wasn't the only thing he did "wrong", he also tried taking a photo of me while I was naked (until I told him NO WAY) and he was a bit full-on.

Justaboy · 30/11/2015 20:34

duckwalk Jeezz! that the merry Jesus of mean that, paying a parking ticket!!

Justaboy · 30/11/2015 20:36

My date was ruined by Tequila Sad . Whilst backpacking I met a very handsome guy who was having a gap year and sailing round the Cyclades islands on a yacht with a few friends. We met up for a drink in the evening near the jetty to see a band, it was all very idyllic and I fancied the pants off him. I turned to him and suddenly my eyes are burning like I’ve been pepper sprayed then my nose starts streaming. I stood up trying to find something to wipe my face with and fell into the sea.

Turns out this genius had tried to stealth “body shot me” by pouring salt on my neck (or my entire head as it turned out), which ended up in eyes, licked me and tried to stuff lemon in my mouth to kiss (which went up my nose because I was trying to get salt out of my eye). Ended up sat on the beach covered in mascara, seaweed in my hair, red eyed & snotty. Angry

This thread is cracking me up. I guy I was seeing once after sex ( one thrust wonder) stood at the end of the bed with no clothes and for no apparent reason starting singing the "hippy hippy shake" with actions. It was stomach turning, did not know to laugh or cry. Needless to say was the end of that short romance.

batshitlady · 01/12/2015 15:59

The restaurant one nudged my memory.

I went for dinner with this bloke I met through work a couple of years ago. All he talked about was money and how fantastic at making it he was, blah, blah. As the evening went on I'd gone off him, but being a bit pissed I decided to shag him anyway, if it came to it.

He insisted on paying the bill, yet only left a £1 tip. I told him that wasn't enough and slapped a tenner down on the table. He sniggered, called me a mug and picked up his £1 and put it back in his wallet. I got a head ache soon after and remembered I had a very early start the next day....

Someone tried to set me up at a wedding. He was 10+ years older than me and thought the best way to flirt was to tell me all about his Dr Who collection and his love of Debbie Gibson. He also clearly hadn't cleaned his teeth in a long time, he looked like he'd been eating a lot of wotsits. Thankfully I had already had 2 dates with the man who eventually became DH, but I'll not forget those tedious hours about Tom Bloody Baker. It was a Very Christian wedding too, and no alcohol at all.
The other one that sticks in my mind is a chap I met when I was about 18. He seemed nice, but then proceeded to tell me and a number of other people that he had "committed immorality" with lots of girls. Yes, exactly like that. He later tried to flirt with me, and when I didn't go for it, started to quote from the Bible.
Ehh... No thanks.

Orange1969 · 01/12/2015 18:19

He asked me if could come on my tits.

batshitlady · 01/12/2015 18:22

Did you let him Orange?

TaintForTheLikesOfWe · 01/12/2015 18:24

Similar to sugar21 upthread. Back to his and his work trousers and reg grundies were on the floor where he had stepped out of them earlier. They looked like 40 Boeings had landed in them. Really turned me up. I was already dubious because on previous dates I had heard him speaking to his mother on the phone and he put on a weird cartoonish ickle voice the whole time he spoke to her like he was four or something.

I dumped him and he stalked me for weeks and I had to climb out of the kitchen window and walk down a field to go to pub with my mates as he was parked outside trying to get to talk to me. DDad put a milk crate outside so I could leg it back in, bless him!

LoisPuddingLane · 01/12/2015 23:02

To be honest I prefer them to come on my tits. You don't get the days of dripping out then.

Orange1969 · 02/12/2015 00:52

Batshit - no, I turned his request down.

SapphireStarfish · 02/12/2015 03:31

These are hilarious! Feeling content single right now!
