Honest Opinions....

What would your honest opinion be on a 37 year old guy with no kids, lives in a rented 1 bedroom property, has had countless jobs, albeit well paid ones, but none that have lasted more than a couple of years and has had 3 relationships in his life, again lasting no more than a couple of years where the girl had ended every one of them, comes across as a bit of a lad...very muscular, into the gym, always goes on about how many girls “fancy” him.

Relationship material? Yay or Nay?

It would depend on his personality. I am not into men with too much muscle so his personality would be important to me obviously! Why have the other women ended the relationships?

fantasmasgoria1 · 04/10/2018 18:34

I just read the last bit I was a bit distracted, a man who goes on about how many women fancy him would be a no for me!

Hopoindown31 · 04/10/2018 18:34

Difficult to know with such little information. Have the relationships ended because of commitment issues?

bigchris · 04/10/2018 18:36

Well I go for sense of humour , things in common, not past history and job stuff

Awrite · 04/10/2018 18:37

Not for me. Not only is he under the impression that women fancy him, he goes on about it. Not for me.

LeftRightCentre · 04/10/2018 18:38

Commitment phobe. The only relationship I'd seek with someone like this is a FB or fling.

LeftRightCentre · 04/10/2018 18:40

The women fancy me bit would put me off so at best he'd be a fling.

AnyFucker · 04/10/2018 18:40

Is that you, Felipe ? Smile

category12 · 04/10/2018 18:43

Not my type.

UserMillionBillion · 04/10/2018 18:43

If you're interested in him and he's telling you about women he fancies then he's basically TELLING you, you're at best another woman I fancy.

I bet even this guy wouldn't tell a woman he was hoping to win over that he fancied loads of women at the gym

ConsiderHerWaysAndOthers · 04/10/2018 18:44

He hasn’t met the right person yet. He only needs a one bed flat because there isn’t a live in girlfriend or any kids. This also allows him to job hop frequently as he isn’t as worried about stability. None of that would worry me. But a ‘lad’ type going on about how many girls fancy him is really off putting so it would be a no from me.

PickAChew · 04/10/2018 18:46

Nah. Serial shagger.

FFSakes · 04/10/2018 18:48

Not really sure about why the last 2 relationships ended, he hasn’t went into much detail about them apart from one of the partners thinking he was selfish. The first one he said ended as the girl was so paranoid about him cheating on her it destroyed the relationship.

A few nights ago we were in each other’s company and he started going on about this girl texting him and how she had fancied him for ages but he wasn’t interested. Then went on to talk about 2 other girls that fancied him. It totally put me off and after he took me home the next day, he text me a couple of times. I replied to one and then just left it. He text me a few days lasted saying he had been out the night before and “guess what this girl came up to me and said” I didn’t even reply as I’m not interested in what girls are going up to him and saying.

He just seems a bit immature and far too full of his own self importance.

Don’t know whether to have a word with him about it or just to leave it where it is.

That’s what I’m thinking too!

I don't think you can write him off based on his relationship history or financial circumstances/living situation. But anyone who brags about how many women fancy him is an arse and probably sees you as another potential notch on the bedpost. And I am personally really turned off by blokes who are really into gym culture but that horses for courses.

FFSakes · 04/10/2018 19:47

I’m definitely not writing him off on relationship history/financial circumstances. Especially the financial circumstances, that means absolutely nothing to me.

But the bragging about women along with no long term relationships at age 37 does make me wonder 🤔

I just don’t see it appropriate to talk about that kind of stuff to someone you’re seeing, I get a lot of male attention but I would NEVER brag about it to anyone and don’t let it go to my head - I especially wouldn’t talk about it to someone I’m seeing, purely out of respect and not wanting to make them feel uncomfortable. But that’s just me I guess.

He sounds like an absolute tit to be honest. He thinks he's making himself sound more desirable by going on about it. He probably thinks you're so lucky to be seeing him...

brokenharbour · 04/10/2018 19:50

And yes this is the sort of thing that guys do when they're in their teens, not in their thirties!

FFSakes · 04/10/2018 19:56

He also got annoyed when I wouldn’t tell him how many people I’d slept with either - I didn’t see it relevant or any of his business. But he absolutely couldn’t wait to tell me about the 150+ one night stands he had!

OP posts:
Rainbowtrain · 04/10/2018 19:58

🤭 everything but the last bit could have been said about me before meeting my OH.
I see nothing wrong with any of that apart from the last bit.
Moving jobs, renting... That is pretty normal in my circle

Rainbowtrain · 04/10/2018 19:58

Oh wait just seem the bragging about +150 night stands

Confused
DramaAlpaca · 04/10/2018 20:00

He wouldn't appeal to me in the slightest.

Ruddygreattiger2016 · 04/10/2018 20:03

Nay. He sounds like a complete knob. And would probably benefit from an std check. Yuck.
