Smelly fart date

[SausageSimon]

A couple of weeks ago I went on a date with a guy I used to work with years ago, he got in touch out of the blue and he's really lovely so I thought why not.

We had an excellent time in a nearby city and he showed me some great places, we had a meal and then went to a bar. It started getting busy and we were sat on some settees and all was good!
Then started the smelliest rotten egg farts, truly vile. It got to the third lot of this disgusting odour and I had to say something incase he thought it was me. There was a group of guys behind us and I assumed it was one of them so I said to my date how disgusting it was and that it was making me feel sick. I said I wouldn't be going out if my farts were so bad! (I've only had these awful kind of farts with an upset stomach)

Soon after it was time to head home and the date ended well! Unsure if I fancied him but I had a great time so we arranged another date.

So tonight we went out, he picked me up and as we were driving along and chatting that exact same vile smell wafted it's way around the car

I'm not being dramatic when I say it's the worse fart I have EVER smelt.

He wants to see me again but I honestly hope I never smell that smell ever again in my life!! It's a shame cause he's a really nice man but I can't cope.

Can nerves cause this? He's big on the gym and I also wondered if it was the result of protein shakes or a diet he's on

AIBU to not want to see him again?

If it could be guaranteed I wouldn't have to endure another rotten egger I'd probably be up for it

I get how horrendous it must be. But what if he has an underlying health condition like Crohns or IBS that he is too embarrassed to admit now you have mentioned how gross the farts are? I feel a bit sorry for the guy. He might just be a smelly arsehole, but I don't think you can assume that.

Protein shakes are the culprit.

My dp does them because he is following a special diet (of his own choice, not under doctor's orders or anything). He knows exactly what the cause is and won't stop eating it. I find it very unattractive. I know everyone farts, but I just cannot fancy someone who relishes in it and finds it a never ending source of amusement. Pull my finger just isn't funny.

Pull my finger just isn't funny.

It's a real stinker.

I once slept with a man who jumped out of bed in the morning and let rip with three incredibly loud farts right next to me. Then he laughed. I never saw him again. Totally incompatible.

As someone with ibs I find it incredibly shallow that some people would ditch a person because of smelly farts. As it goes mine pretty much stopped when I cut egg and dairy but I still occasionally have a bad tum resulting in some smelly farts but I've been in relationships for most of my adult life and no one has ever ditched me because of it.

"it’s just manners not to let Rip on a date!"

I'm quite sad to find there are still people who don't realise that some people can't help it. I can't prevent it in myself. They don't usually smell that bad, but sometimes they do with no obvious reason. I can't self-isolate myself for my entire life.

"You know what I'm worried he doesn't see it as a problem cause he didn't seem that embarrassed at any point by it. If it was me I'd have blushed or even had to say I'm so sorry and try laugh it off or something! "

As a flatulence sufferer, I can assure you that I'm REALLY embarrassed about it, but having to talk about it would make it so many times worse. I'm lucky that only once in my adult life has someone brought it up and made me feel bad about it.

It would put me off

Protein shakes are the bloody devil!

Actually have banned them while I’m pregnant so I don’t vomit on dp. I wouldn’t recommend a monster plug either... imagine the damage after it shoots out mid after dinner stroll. Not sure if there’s an air freshener strong enough.. I know poopuri loo sprays do sweet fuck all against the solids.. seriously I couldn’t bloody sleep one night and the windows were open.

However if we ever need a chemical weapon I dare say a few of us could band together.

It's definitely the protein shakes.

So it's likely to be an ongoing issue 🤢

This stuff is crap as well!

Some guys get off on making women uncomfortable with things like this. I feel like we had a thread about a man who came and did stinky shits in someone's office bathroom where everyone could smell them, some years back. It can be a disgusting power move, and a way for them to check to make sure you're sufficiently cowed and embarrassed to not bring up things that cause you discomfort.

Wombofonesown has it. It's a power move for some ... unusual individuals.

Also, sense of smell has been found to be reduced to absent in psychopathy. Just by the by. 😂

That's gross OP. DP doesn't fart in my presence, he leaves the room and I really respect that. ExH used to let rip and he stank. Not dietry or anything, they just smelled. He didn't care and I found it very unattractive.

I can’t look at a body builder (male or female) without imagining the farts from all the protein shakes (and the lack of sexual performance from steroids).

PhilCornwall1 I will forever associate your NN with having a dead rat up your arse. I'm not happy about this, I see your name a fair bit.

That's gross OP. DP doesn't fart in my presence, he leaves the room and I really respect that.

Oh my god, I literally cannot imagine my husband leaving the room to fart! Do you not fart in front of him either?

He may be able to keep Corona Virus at bay op. Stick with him...

@smiften Nooo!!!!! Poor Mrs PC would agree with my analogy though, in fact she may well have read it, but she knows it's drug induced and is brilliant about it.

I'm a powerlifter and drink a lot of protein shakes. Mine don't smell. I'm not sure you can blame it on protein shakes.

There’s no eggcuse.

I mean one accidentally slipping out is one thing but it sounds like he’s just willing letting them go which is a bit grim especially when your only just starting to date.
I don’t think I’d not see him again if he was otherwise nice.
I’d probably give it a third date and if he did it again just say something.
Everyone farts 🤷🏼‍♀️ But maybe he just needs to know to just nip the bathroom to let one rip 😂

definitely sounds like protein fart. Maybe they slip out.🤷🏻‍♀️ i second the 'buy him a load of charcoal tablets'

Protein shakes are the culprit

I'm not sure to be honest. I'm a (female) bodybuilder: protein powder twice daily and eggs like they're going out of fashion. However, …….. lots of water, no fast/processed food, cakes, biscuits, processed sugars.

I don't seem to have this problem. As others have said, the only time I do have issues is when I've got a stomach bug (v rare; can't remember the last time).

So, it might be worth him looking more closely at his diet.

Hope you can sort it as you do seem to like him.
