So sick of crap men

Name changed as don’t want to out myself as I’ve had a right good moan about this lately. I hate the daily mail - if you’re a journalist looking for fresh meat, fuck off.

I seem to have had a bad run of weird men combined with ones that seem nice then turn creepy.

First we had the guy who would not stop texting and going on and on about how pretty I was and asked me out. It took a day or so of Him constantly texting, but I told him he was too full on and I didn’t want to date him. It stopped for a bit then he kept finding excuses to message me. He’s stopped again as after being polite, then telling him to stop, I just completely ignored everything he sent. Annoying.

Then next guy seems nice enough (met this one online) and we go for a few coffees. Nice, quiet and makes clear he’s looking for a relationship. Great. Then he gets drunk and starts texting me asking me if I was inviting him over or just a tease. I don’t even know where it came from Confused

Second online dating guy seems nice, all very civil chit chat and arranging to meet for coffee until he starts boasting about how much “stamina” he has and all he’s learned about sex. It’s not something I want to discuss with a guy I’ve never met.

Finally, lovely guy I know starts messaging me one evening and we have a chat about how we’ve not seen each other for a while. Fine. I fall asleep and wake up the next morning to 10 missed video calls and several offers of seeing him naked.

I’m just so hacked off with the way every conversation seems to turn at the moment. I’m not a prude, but I’m a relationship kind of girl and I’m pretty clear about that. Why can’t they read the social cues?

Is it me? Is it men? I’m just coming off dating sites and stopping looking as I’m just getting so frustrated with it. I don’t want to be alone forever, but I want to meet someone who isn’t a creep.

Oh and don’t forget the 50 year olds who set their age as 39 and confess in their profile.

I dated a guy 10byears older than me last year, he was an absolute mind fuck

Oops pressed post too soon.

There was a reason he was single - again not OLD, I met him through work.

Yuk. Again in the 50s age group. Chatted to a guy for a while who was really funny, really good banter. Was just arranging to meet when he announced his dick was so big i'd get PTSD. Blocked him immediately. Now taking a break.from OLD!!

And it's a sense of entitlement that a lot of these men have.....on the OurTime site, lots of them put their upper age limit for women at 48-50!

I should be grateful that I haven't had any 'dick shots'......ugh!
Oh dear, ByeMF , looks like you dodged a cannonball there, never mind a bullet!! Grin

Online dating - works for men, terrible for women. Frequented by men hoping to juggle attractive women for multiple concurrent "relationships". Time consuming path to the frustrating destination of no where.

HelenaDove · 15/05/2018 02:32

EH? But Our Time is for the over 50s Ive seen the adverts on the Yesterday channel So why the fuck are blokes on there setting their upper age limit to 48/50 Confused

echidna1 · 15/05/2018 22:06

Oh but some of the ones I was interested in certainly did!!

HelenaDove · 16/05/2018 00:29

Ridiculous.

echidna1 · 17/05/2018 22:03

Ok, so what is the answer?

Maybe there isn't one......but I'm relieved to see that it isn't just me that is experiencing 'crap men'
