Tinder arsehole

Wasn't sure where to put this but just wanted to tell someone, but can't tell anyone in real life as it's embarrassing.

Was chatting to a guy on Tinder, seemed nice enough, swapped numbers, all the usual. Texting last night just chit chat, he asked to talk on the phone, I said I was too tired, he said cool chat tomorrow.

This morning he's messaged me:

'Black man's meat' with a steak emoji and waving emoji.

Wtf? I have two mixed raced children from a previous relationship so maybe he saw that somewhere, although they don't look typically mixed really. Plus there aren't pics with me and my ex online. I'm disgusted tbh.

OP, try to take comfort in the knowledge that his comment wasn’t at all about you. Or your relationships or children. He was angered by you saying no to him and he lashed out in a way to hurt you. He showed his true misogynistic self by not referring to you directly but as a man’s property. And he called you an inanimate object, which also suggests he sees women as less. He has saved you months of agonising over his behaviour should you have started a relationship. You’ve had a lucky escape.

As a PP said on another thread (I forget which), perhaps we should all say no to people we are dating while the relationship is still young so we get the measure of how partners react.

I have never heard that expression before - what a horrible thing to say. Hope you're ok op.

That's an awful thing for someone to say! What a bastard!
